Single player or multiplayer?

[XSGames]

What do you enjoy the most?

[Psycho]

Multiplayer

I like singleplayer when I'm burnt out on FPS' and just want to play chill games

I've started to enjoy multiplayer ever since I got fiber internet. Was on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ DSL before so games would lag every 5 seconds.

Single players and coop are best.

i think i for now like the most sp-mp of mmorpg in wow were you can see other players in the world and you can choose to interact with them, ie if you like combat you can join "combat mode" whith a click of a button, or if you want only talk/emote you exit combat mode inside a map, ie its a combination of both modes at the same time which doesnt force you to engage in combat if you just want to explore the map.

100% agree. I usually find myself getting irritated at multiplayer pvp games nowadays, so this is pretty much the way to go for me.

Where I live I can't MP, but it doesn't really make a difference because I don't like MP. Few times I tried it I did not have any fun.

You should try PvE games unless you consider that also co op.

Singleplayer, because it's usually fair. Multiplayer games are so unbalanced in this generation of titles.

Being able to pick a sub-par and fun build without getting flamed is nice. Just about had it with the whole "games as a service" thing too.

Having to give a contract phone number just to play a game. Multiplayer game companies are getting delusional.

A bit of both but singleplayer is easier to enjoy. I don't really enjoy team-based multiplayer with strangers nor do I enjoy it when there's a huge skill gap, regardless which side of that gap I am on.

Online multiplayer just isn't as fun as LAN parties in the past. Too competitive. It's always as if there's something on the line, no fun allowed. Can't really enjoy an RTS game unless you're playing by the meta and have 300-400 APM. Fighting games: Gotta get into them in the first 2-3 months or you'll fall behind big time and mostly just get trounced without understanding how and why.

MOBAs and FPS games are horrendous cesspools of toxicity so I really don't see the appeal. There's so much flame, one might think it's one of the circles Dante Alighieri was writing about.

Single player. I find that a lot of MP games are designed around infinite grinding and I just don't care for that stuff now.

You could say that about any game that's semi competitive. But no you don't need to be a sweaty Korean with insane APM to enjoy RTS games. Like other genres there are casual players and pro players alike

Single. I simply hate multiplayer and strictly play such games with people I know irl.

Playing with strangers are bad. At least in asia server.

If I don't have any friends to play with; Singleplayer. Usually visual novels, Muse Dash, and otherwise story-telling games. I need to be alone with my own thoughts to immerse myself into the story.

If I have friends to play with; Multiplayer. Either competitively if they wish to sweat, but mostly casually just to have fun with other people.

I have yet to find a good co-op to play with my friends, because I can't be the only one who's having fun.. The mood and the atmosphere would've affected everybody, turning the fun to boredoom and frustration for playing something they don't even wish to hear about.

Multiplayer is better for a laugh or fun with friends, single player is great for relaxing focused enjoyment of a game for its story, world or themes. There are some games that mix both of these perfectly, like it takes two, but I’m rarely taking in the scenery and story in a multiplayer game like phasmophobia or COD.

That's a difficult question.

Personally, I think it comes down to being disappointed by most multiplayer games. If you'd asked me 5 years ago? I'd probably tell you that multiplayer are my favorite.

These days it seems multiplayer is a cesspit. Team games are pretty much unplayable. Unless, you have a number of friends that can play on a regular basis. Playing with randos is a sure way to have a bad time. As they will either be terrible at playing, or mad you aren't as good as them.

One-on-one games aren't any better. As you'll be dealing with people that will abuse game mechanics to the point you can't win. And it will happen from day one. Because almost all games don't penalize smurfing.

I still play multiplayer games, but not like I once did. These days, I find single-player preferable. I don't have to worry about what other people are doing. I can play at my own pace. With a difficulty that is challenging, but achievable.
