Am I alone? - Single player games vs Multiplayer games

I think the only time I ever play single player is when my nets down or I don't have it.

I don't think I have even got in to the massive games like mass effect etc even uncharted 2 would probably bore me.

Know exactly how you feel and I guess multiplayer co-op is coming back in a big way which I think is a good thing.

Multiplayer can be a stressful experience.

Multiplayer is without a doubt favourable to single player, to me. But I love single player game also, and you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing Call of Duty 4 SP.

I think the key is to look for the right stuff out of each style of play. Call of Duty 4 single player is more like a movie-like cinematic experience and I think, should be viewed as such. I think it makes it more enjoyable, which is good as I think it's probably one of my greatest gaming experiences to date.
 
I would prefer to play a great SP game than a great MP game, the last game i played a lot of MP was KZ2 and Uncharted 2 will be the next. I guess i prefer a good story than running around shooting people online, both are fun but I dont have loads of time to play MP games now.
It also depends on genre, driving games for example, if played with a good bunch of people is great fun far more so than the SP parts.
 
i used to dig single player... now its all about multiplayer for me...unless its an sp game...

for example i got cod 5 got bored of sp very quickly and went to multiplayer, headquarters to be exact, and since buying the game probably 7 months ago i havent returned to sp once... same with killzone2...

on the other hand i bought and completed residentevil5 and am now doing MGS4 neither have much multiplayer but because of this the single player experience is well honed?

so mixed really..
 
See i have a diffrent problem

I USED to be able to play CS / Planetside / COD all the time multiplayer and didnt really enjoy the single player games as much (Example - Never bothered to complete HL2 after all the hype) Now i cant play any games, ill be bored out of my mind think its a good idea to play a little bit of CS or planetside and be off it in about 30 minutes...

Whats wrong with me, i want to be able to enjoy games again :(

I'm the opposite, only time I play multiplayer is against my friends on a LAN. I got put off by the number of total idiots I played online.

100% like you in this respect, i can't stand half the total tossers who play online and how seriously they take everything, people endlessly bunny hopping around is irratating. im so sad at the way most games are going for multiplayer instead of single player, sad sad sad day for story telling. :(
 
I cant play multiplayer games, they are so boring, no story, no fun and all full of kids with microphones.
 
Love both, though probaby spend more time playing SP games. As much as I have fun in MP, sometimes it feels like I am wasting time just running around killing. Whereas with SP games with story I feel like I am working towards something.
 
Much prefer single player (typically). I enjoy the story aspect of the game, I do have a blast multiplayer - but I enjoy multi more on a PC the vast majority of the time.
