Single Player or Multi-Player?

[Anomaly1964]

Which pc games get more of your attention and play time?

 

[Skott]

No doubt about it. I play more single player games than anything else.

 

[Jumpem]

Single player. Anxiously waiting on Dungeon Siege III and Diablo 3 now.

 

[Nirreln]

Only Single player, but mostly because multiplayer doesn't work too well over satellite.

 

[zerocool84]

Both fairly equally

 

[SirFelixCat]

Single player almost exclusively. I guess that's because I dislike most people. :shrug:

 

[RavenSEAL]

I leave MP to my PS3, since most of my friends play on it. I enjoy not getting 10 invites a minute to play CoD when i'm on my PC.So....

PC=Single Player
PS3= MP

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Online multiplayer. It's the only way to play FPS's and RTS's IMHO.

 

[JMapleton]

I cannot play a game unless it's against other people either in person or online. Just cannot do it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Multiplayer is for posers. Everyone knows this.

 

[minmaster]

other than civ, i like my games online against other people

 

[shortylickens]

Single.
If I wanted to socialize I would actually go out and socialize. Also trying to coordinate a bunch of people for an online game is always a hassle. I think thats why MMO's are so popular, you can hop on any time and immediately have thousands of playmates. No organizing or anything.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

Multiplayer is for posers. Everyone knows this.

haha what?

 

[chalmers]

I get frustrated at MP because there's always a bunch of basement dwelling virgins who play 24/7 and are rude and nasty towards everyone else. It takes just one bad apple to turn me off to something, so I stick with SP usually.

 

[The Green Bean]

For RTS, MP, for FPS SP.

 

[Cogman]

I prefer to play games with my friends and family. I don't like online games with random people, it just isn't satisfying enough.

I voted single because when I do play games, that is generally what I play.

 

[Skurge]

The internet here is so crappy, I mostly play SP

 

[frozentundra123456]

Single player almost exclusively. I guess that's because I dislike most people. :shrug:

My sentiments exactly, LOL. Actually two reasons. Seriously, I play games on the computer
to get away from people and the pressures of the daily grind. Secondly, I play a lot of FPS and RTS games, but am sort of mediocre at both, so I get my butt kicked on line most of the time. I do play some FPS games on line, but hardly ever any RTS games.

 

[CurseTheSky]

Multi-player mostly. Single player gets boring after a while, and I either have to buy a new game, or play the same game over in a different way. Multi-player changes constantly based on your human opponents' skill and tactics.

RTS and FPS = multi-player almost exclusively

RPGs = mostly single player, with the occasionally MMORPG

 

[TheVrolok]

Unless it's EVE, it's SP.

 

[snewdle]

Really depends on the genre. And my two favorites, RPG and RTS, are generally suited to either one respectively. Recently though I've been playing a ton of TF2

 

[minmaster]

yea it really does depend on the genre i guess. for FPS, i have to play against other people online.

 

[Imp]

Single-player for its uniqueness.

Multiplayer isn't immersive, and usually follows a similar formula. I'm sorry, but it only takes 5 minutes to hear "OMFG", some annoying teenager's voice, or some overbearing control freak to ruin any illusion of immersion.

 

[Texashiker]

All games will have a certain popularity when their new. If developers want people to return to those games for year to come - add multi-player.

Daggerfall was a massive role playing game that was only single player. Who really talks about Daggerfall anymore?

Counter-Strike is designed around multiplayer. Who talks about Counter-strike, oh,,, tens of thousands of people.

However, doom and half-life are still talked about and played by who knows how many people and they were designed around a single player game.

 

[Matthiasa]

Depends, I play single player games more when I first get them.
However if I have not gotten a new game in a while I will almost exclusively play multi-player games
