Single player or multiplayer

[zin0]

With games like these i always like to play single player because i find that playing with other people they just seem to rush through missions or games. I like to take my time and enjoy the game. Although I've heard multiplayer can be fun, which do you guys prefer?

[Kunovega]

The story is pure single player

The multiplayer is just kind of a tacked on something to do

I've played a bit of coop but I play singleplayer 95% of the time. Some of the end game content like the prison or bozak has some value to play multiplayer, but those really are just farming end game content for the sake of grinding because you like to grind repetitive content and you actually are expected to go as fast as possible, especially for the prison, its a pure speed test

One in depth play through single player experiencing everything there is to see is probably right around 60 to 100 hours of single player content, the multiplayer is either redoing it all again with a partner for no particular reason or doing the hour or so of content actually designed for coop, repeatedly forever

The majority of people play SP.

Singleplayer
You get to play at your own pace and can take time doing missions
With randoms theyll just join and kill all the zombies for you

Single player for me dude, like you i prefer to not rush quests, also since i am against the use of grappling hook multiplayer has no use for me, i played a coop only once for 5 minutes, when i saw the Spiderman crossing the bridge in two moves i left immediately.

If ppl like that kind of stuff OK, but i am not obligated to like.

Anyway, apart from nighthunter content and achievements you are not missing anything. Not to mention that some ppl use dupped gear and gimmicks like that which make legit player's who grind and use their stuff wisely look like idiots.

Concerning bozak horde, that's the only place id be glad to have a partner, not that i can't beat alone but because would be more fun and i want the boozak skin, it's been a long since last time i did that, only have 8 dockets atm.
The other place which would probably be fun to play coop is the following map, with buggy ppl might get rid of the hook for a while.
Harran prison also could be nice but that's it.

You can play both single player and multiplayer aside a few exceptions, but I recommend you to play single player on your first playthrough, most because you are supposed to be weak and be able to barely survive in the beginning, and multiplayer breaks it, especially if some high level players with modded stuff (like guns with unlimited ammo, etc.) come and start you even giving it, like melee weapons with overbig damage, etc.

Thanks for the insight fellas, much appreciated.

There are no servers, the game is peer-to-peer and co-op is multiplayer. Just because the majority of people prefer to play with friends and not open themselves up to the public does not mean it isn't multiplayer

Coop with friends is multiplayer. Even the zombie mode is playable, but due to the rampant cheaters you will need to make friends and schedule a time to bash on each other

There is server. Not for multiplayer, but some master server, which has a list of all public/friends only games. Otherwise this game would be playlable only through LAN or by typing the IP address of host directly.

And that server still works, as I still get invaded/joined by random players to my public game.

That's not what he's referring to, by saying there's no servers he's saying there's no servers to play on

There never was, there's just a reference hub showing available games you can connect with peer to peer

No one has a server set up where the server is running the game itself and everyone else connects to that server location, there's a host and then you peer to peer connect with a host

Yes there's a server that lists those hosts, but it isn't a play server

i love taking my time exploring also. add me so we can play together

Went through the entire game in multiplayer and it was quite fun. I'm looking forward to playing The Following DLC with my buddies.

As for if I'd recommend other people to play multiplayer or not.. I'd say play it with friends you know because if you open the match up publicly then people who are very overpowered will join and the game honestly won't be any fun then. (Unless you are one of those people who likes creative mode in games)

How does that work? you joined my saved progress?

[Kunovega]

You play from wherever the host is

For me, I also like to do it in single player mode to have immersion from it. Being alone makes it realistic for the game's theme and ambiance, adds up all the thrills and excitement, challenging and fairer gameplay.

The only time I wanted to do it in multiplayer is when my friends play it. Nothing beats the fun when playing with your buddies and laughing from enjoyment of it together.
