When buying a new game, do you play singleplayer first or multiplayer ?

FPS, racing games, RPG's , I always play single player first and after a while I jump into multiplayer. :) . Maybe it's because I'm old, I've seen a lot of young gamers, 18 and youngers jump directly into multiplayer as soon as they grab a game. :o Why is this ?

What are the young ones playing first ? and the old folks also ? :)

depends on the game. if its call of duty ill skip the 1 player mode and go to multi player. but if its a game like kirby or mario i will do the one player and not care too much about the multiplayer

First I complete the single player. Then if the game is good enough I play the single player again or try to 100% the single player. Then I play a different game and complete the single player. Rinse and repeat.

Always play the single-player first. Story before anything.

Usually I do single first, but I played a bit of Call of Duty MW2s multi first just to see what it was like

I always play the single player first. I think the reason younger players jump into the multiplayer so early is because that's how popular online play has become where the little kids will act like single player doesn't exist.

Single player is usually the reason why I would buy a game. The multiplayer is an expected bonus.

Yeah....That's what I'm talking about. :D

My friend, that really depends on what game and genre it is. For some games, it's all about going through the campaign. For others, I jump directly into the multiplayer and go from there,

single player only because i have weak wifi signal from my neighbors

I actually never play the multiplayer. Probably because I too am old. megagene

Pretty much always the single-player first, and then the multi-player. Sometimes I start the single-player and then play the multi-player while I'm beating the single-player. Still ultimately I like to get a feel for the controls and enjoy the game.

I always play single player before venturing online. Beating a campaign is more satisfying than owning people online and hearing them cry about it.

Recently I've jumped right into multiplayer when I got a FPS game. I still haven't played the single player of Black Ops and not much of MW2.

im 21...so i like to still consider myself young lol...but i always finish the single player before i venture into multiplayer

Depends on the game..if it is a COD..I will hop into MP first..but games like Halo I will play the campaign since i don't really like the MP.

Single player. Then MAYBE I'll go multiplayer.

Usually the single player (unless it is awful, like Bad Company 2's) and then the multiplayer.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

I just play the Singleplayer i don't bother with multiplayer.

First single player, then I will probably continue with multiplayer

SP first then if i'm interested in the MP of the game then i play it

Well, considering i buy games primarily for their single player, so i would say yes to the single player first thing.

I am more of a offline type of gamer.

Always single player if there is one. I mostly avoid the multiplayer option altogether.

Single Player. I buy games for Single player.

Depends on the game, If its an FPS I just jump into the online before everyone else gets all the better guns etc. Any other genre I buy for the SP as I hardly care about the MP.

I always complete the single player once before doing any multiplayer. This being said, I don't do much multiplayer other than the occasional FPS. I use player to familiarize myself with the controls and get a bit of practice in, as I really dislike dropping into multiplayer for the first time and getting walked on.

You have to ! Both MW2 and BlackOps have awesome campaign...especially the no-russian....in MW2.

If the game's multiplayer is critically acclaimed, then straight into that for me. Something like Call of Duty, where you have two completely different experiences packaged into one disc, playing single player has no bearing on multiplayer, and MP is almost like a self-contained game.

If I'm invested in a game's story, like Halo for example, multiplayer can most definitely wait.

That being said, these days I'm having trouble even starting games to play the single player. I usually play co-op or something with my friends or nothing at all, unless it's an RPG.

Single player of course! I think multiplayer should be locked whenever you buy a new game, so that you are forced to complete single player first. It annoys me much when people buy games solely for multiplayer.

Singleplayer first, i rarely play multiplayer

I barely ever buy games with multiplayer to begin with. I feel it is a far-too-often focus of game development these days, and takes away a lot from the singleplayer experience.

That said, I started playing DKCR with my girlfriend in co-op, and then went to SP when she found the game too hard.

I stick with single-player, as multi has no appeal to me.

Co-op like in Borderlands would be more fun than a MMO.

Mainly singleplayer but if its Cod or a game i played to death in a demo/beta ill go to MP first
