Pretty much this. Lack of a great connection, and competitive spirit usually keeps my interest elsewhere. And i never played games online before this generation... The matchmaking in Super Mario 3 was terrible :P

I prefer a great single player campaign, but I wont shy away from online multiplayer. I think it all depends on the game. I get around to playing both SP and MP, but for games like Halo I play single player first, and games like Battlefield, it's multiplayer first.

I'm more of a SP player, but to be honest, either of them are fine. It really depends how they're designed really.

depends, if its a MP that has teamwork and is fun ( why i like arma 2) i play MP alot. But i NEVER EVER leave out SP, its a habit i have never changed to always play the SP before playing online.

for most cases i would prefer a single player. if a game has both i play 75% SP and 25% MP

I prefer single player, MP is just kind of a bonus for me. Unless you're talking about Halo, then I'm totally all in on that MP.

I'm almost exclusively a single player guy, this includes co-op centric games like Gears. I much prefer to experience it by myself, mostly because I like to dictate when I play, how I play it and at what difficulity. Sure co-op is fun for an hour or 2, but then they want to stop. I want to play when I feel like it, and I hate playing with strangers.

That being said, I do like some online, mostly Black Ops and hopefully BO2.

Generally, I prefer a good involved SP experience - Skyrim/Fallout 3/Red Dead Redemption were all really good examples of that. HOWEVER... I'm fortunate in that, in my little brother, I have a partner in crime to play MP Co-op with someone who basically plays in the same way that I do, which is slow, steady, checking out every nook and cranny on the way to achieving something.

There's nothing worse than MP co-op with strangers, and competitive MP is too often filled with people who have too much time on their hands to do nothing but perfect a particular game/mode - I'm never going to be able to compete with them, so to be honest the idea of even attempting to is an instant turn-off.

In conclusion - some games are AWESOME in co-op, if you can find a steady partner to play them with.

Single player only. No desire to endure poor servers, laggy connections, foul mouthed idiots who think being racist, sexist and screaming down a mic is the way to play and random disconnections.

Just SP for me. What little time I did spend playing with others when I ran a Gold account was spent playing co-op with a few friends.

Mostly some type of online game, wether it be coop or competetive multiplayer. A single player game has to be very good for me to play it. For example my wife and I play both Survival and MP on MW3 but I would never play that campaign.

Borderlands 1 and 2 are IMO more enjoyable with a friend/family memeber. Portal 2 was an exellent coop game as well and I didnt enjoy the SP near as much as the coop. I played Saints Row 3 with a friend from work, and it was great as well.

Single player games I played and loved this year were Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire.

It depends on the game and what I'm in the mood for. Certain games I like just chilling out on my own and playing single player. With games like CoD, their multiplayer system is like a game in itself and it's easy to get sucked into it. It does get rather enjoyable as you progress further into the mode.

I love co op multiplayer. In my opinion, the only thing better than mass destruction and bad guy genocide is mass destruction and bad guy genocide with a friend or three. Sure, it can be a trial finding friends amid the randoms, but when you do find them, it can be totally awesome. When it comes to vs MP, I prefer melee action to shooters(which is why LotR: Conquest(R.I.P) was the best vs mp game this generation, in my humble opinion), which is still woefully ill-represented. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is my favorite vs game still running- it was so unique, and is still the only game where a clever level 1 player can win in a match packed with 50's.

It really depends what game I'm playing. The Halo series, for example, has both great campaigns and multiplayers, so both for that. Halo Wars is different though, as once you finish campaign it gets boring unless you shift to multiplayer.

I always play single player first then I move on to the multiplayer. Unfortunately.... that means with most games the MP is dead by the time I get around to playing it.

i only play on xbox or diablo 3... if none of my friends are online playing battlefield or borderlands i'll do single player.. not too big on split screen co op. it really is hard to beat you and group of buddies running through fools on battlefield 3 and using teamwork.

Yeah, It always depends on the game. I can play the hell out of either.

The ones i get lost in the most, or try and 100% the game though are normally ones where i love the campaign. so i suppose i'll say Singleplayer.

I love single-player and cooperative games. I like to be competitive in some games but it's frusterating when online doesn't function as fluidly as you'd like (fighting games are especially a hassle since it requires much precision). I look forward to the day when laggy connections are no more. Hurry up technology.

I used to be a huge fan of MP, but not so much anymore. I prefer SP now. I actually played one game of MP last night, and that was the first time I've played MP in almost a month.

It all depends on what I am in the mood for. For example, sometimes I will be REALLY in the mood for online, but other times I will want to play my campaigns. It all depends on my mood. Some games I play both all the time though.

I used to perfer them both equally but over the past few years I seem to game less and lees online. I find the single player experience a bit more grattifying. That said, I will always play Halo online as it's just plain too much fun not to.

Single player over online multiplayer, but local multiplayer is the best.

Played spelunky with some friends together and it was the most fun I've had since super smash bros.

Depends on my mood. I do enjoy good campaign - singleplayer and coop. But also playing a multiplayer mode(other than coop) can be fun to change the pace.

I prefer singleplayer, but some splitscreen is awesome too! I play online quite a bit, but usually only games like Halo, Rainbow Six, etc. I usually don't play co-op games online, so when a co-op game isn't splitscreen it's very frustrating.
