Single vs Multiplayer

Like others have said, for me it depends on the game. For role playing games and adventure titles, I don't even want to be talking to people while playing. But otherwise multiplayer can be quite fun and you get to meet lots of potential friends ^^
Apart from MMOs I only play single player. My main MMO experience is solo as well though. Prefer leveling my characters and do an occasional instance once I hit the max level.
Played a lot of multiplayer games when I was a young teenager(mainly Counter-Strike), but I haven't had any desire to return since then.
Think the main issue for me is the lack of progress. In single player you most often have a story to follow, a main character that evolves during the game, and if it all gets dull you can always wander off and explore a bit. The multiplayer might've changed during the past... eight years though.

I mostly play single player, very rarely do I play multiplayer.
Percentage wise I'd say the balance between SP V MP is rouhly 95%/5%

I usually play single player so I would say 90:10 or maybe 80:20 I don't count soloing in wow as multiplayer though(but I rarely play wow) Sometimes I'll go online with a friend but right now I have been in a KotOR craze.
Looks like the majority of people here play mostly single player then. Not surprising really, I'd have thought that the PC would be more of a single player platform. (and from a poll a few months back most people on here use PC's).
Overall I've spent about 50:50 MP:SP, mostly due to Reach and Halo 3. Recently though I've been enjoying single player a whole lot more, although I still play the odd Sins game with my friends, as well as Tribes and Pokemon Online a little more regularly.

I'd say I buy them equally but play multiplayer games more often simply because single player only lasts so long until you beat it.
a game that just cant live without multiplayer (because you are alone a lot of the time so you are basiclly playing a sp game in a mp world) is DayZ, the interaction with others players is great! (50 % of the time) or you get shot on sight. Gives a good bit to the feel of to the game
I play mainly single player and it pisses me off to no end how some people are like
DERP! single and multiplayer are interchangeable
NO..THEY..ARE..NOT
they are different, one is not better than the other
Mass Effect 3 multiplayer was kind of fun...but it wasnt the same as playing mass effect 3

Mostly SP, most folk play MP when they are playing competitively, I like oldschool nintendo hard games so I get my fix playing them. Annoyingly for me most of the games I want to play MP are too niche or are on XBLA and have no one playing them.
Atm the only MP game on the 360 i'm playing atm is darksouls, it's almost a waste me paying for an gold account

A: true, I didn't even know what TF2 was until I had gotten the orange box.TestECull said:
B: Why not check?
C: mehh, more single player imo, but it's up to the user i suppose.
yepp, done the same before. once i saw the chat box filled with "u mad bro?!?!" from the other team while they were doing it, it was awful.Dryk said:
and people say the pc community is better *scoff*
(note: I realize there are piles of trash everywhere in each community, I am not demeaning the whole community, do not attack me like I'm ignorant)
both. In fact, I may actually play more Multiplayer than Single player.
I just find multiplayer dynamics much more interesting than a purely AI world. Not much of a fan of the inbetween. That is, a world like WoW with humans, but a world and story structure pre-built and run by AI. Instead, I like Minecraft, TF2, Savage 2. For single player, the world is much more important than the story (I've played a million and one "story games") to me. I usually need a reason to care about saving the world or saving this person or doing this. In Fallout 3 I didn't really give a shit about my "father", so I spent most of the time doing the quests, which were excellent. In Golden Sun, the end of the world felt like a legitimate threat since you had to travel just about the whole world and see various cultures just to get to that point of revelation, so it felt like "the end of the (virtual) world" was something that actually mattered.

I don't have that many games, but those I do have are typically single player. Nothing wrong with some good ol' fashioned multiplayer every now and again, though. I wish I had more multiplayer games, but Assassin's Creed Revelations and Black Ops haven't failed to scratch my occasional multiplayer itch yet.
