Wrong forum.

I prefer well thought out singleplayer games over multilayer games, simply for the fact that most people on the planet seem to be assholes.

online >offline

It's not hard to find decent people to play with. Especially when playing Guild Wars. I just don't heal the people that don't play as a team :D (oh, the powers a monk has...)

Online gamers in the games I play are a bunch of dicks, and massively online multiplayer is just devoid of a rewarding experience, in my personal opinion. I like single player games that make you think or are just good to spend rainy days with. HL2, Grand Theft Auto, Prince of Persia, etc. Most online-focused multiplayer shooters usually have bad single player campaigns/missions, anyway.

I like both, but I prefer single player games more now since I rarely have large amounts of time or attention I can dedicate to playing a game. At least when playing offline, I can just pause a game to check on the kids or to pretend I'm actually doing something productive in the computer room when my wife walks by. :D

I think that FPS games are often more fun online, but I also really like a rewarding SP experience. I really can't wait for Oblivion which should be an incredible offline game.

[COLOR=black]I like playing the odd game online but I play offline a lot more. I like being really immersed in games and enjoy having some from of a story or background to the actions I'm carrying out while playing a game.

I guess my habits from playing with toys have carried over to games. When I was younger I couldn't just pick up some toys and immediately start playing, I needed to make a story and have a reason for why this toy was killing this one or something...:) [/COLOR]

There is a general lack of quality multiplayer games. Most seem like a quick addon with the standard FFA/ Team FFA modes. A lot of the maps are small and aren't of the highest quality so more can be produced. Right now I have been playing a lot more single player than I do multiplayer. Haven't played any multiplayer games in well over a month.

I prefer online. It's just always something different, and if you get on a nice server, you may be lucky there aren't too many ... let's say 'annoying' people. It's the most fun when you are playing a mod, as most of the crowd doesn't play that game, and many 'annoying people' go by. I prefer FPS's online (CS:S, UT2004).

But offline games like GTA are great as well. Even though I always quit if i am stuck at a point for a week or something, which is too bad. That's why i mostly prefer games w/ a multiplayer-option: then i can switch to something where i can't get stuck.

I prefer to play offline because most of the people I play either cheat or have really annoying high pitched voices and they make fun out of you because there beating you, you don't get any of that offline. ;)
