Frankly, I don't care about multiplayer, but if it's multiplayer like Read Dead Redemption where there is a superb single player campaign: go! But games where I absolutely need to be online to play? I couldn't care less. My all-time favourite game (Civilization) doesn't need me to play multiplayer. I'd rather play an OK single-player game than a great multiplayer. I couldn't care less about a bunch of people I don't know. When I want to play a multiplayer game, I cal a bunch of friends and I play PnP D&D. Fred
