Sorry for those who are confused i mean games that have online multiplayer or mmos not games you get from internet sites.

educate me TF2? RO2? thanks

Yeah more so than single player. I play a few MMO's and FPS multi-players. Rarely do I delve into the single player game anymore, though in the upcoming months, there are single player games coming out that I will be playing..or games you can play with or without people (like Dead Island), so I'll be playing more than I have been the past number of months.

Team Fortress 2

Red Orchestra 2

Team Fortress 2. And I think he's talking about Red Orchestra 2.

Old school? The earliest of video games were multiplayer only, things like Pong.

I mostly play and enjoy single player games, but I enjoy multiplayer games as well. I've been playing a lot of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, for example. The biggest turn off for me in multiplayer games are people with crappy attitudes, whether that's being bad sports and complaining the entire time, or just being jerks to other players. I want everyone to have fun in multiplayer games, win or lose.

I definitely prefer single-player games though.

I think online games are way too much about playing with other people.

World of Warcraft is one of the biggest and really.. everything about it is pretty pathethic. The main reason most people keep playing is because of their "friends ingame" who they care so much about.
The story and everything around it is pretty terrible. The story is basicaly just an excuse to release another raid which all these addicts and so called "hard core raiders" can use to waste their whole life on. Once they managed to clear the whole content in a few weeks they can be happy about their life since they "achieved" something very big. Hopefully those people don't put it on their CV because I really suspect some of them to.
Overall it's all stupid. A game is supposed to have a story and fun factors but many online games use the "make friends and play cause of them" factor which is pretty sad. I've actually known girls in this game who spend several hours a day skyping, socialising with their beloved WoW friends. I completely asked them about their whole life and found out that they really are ruining their own life. They abandoned their real friends because "their wow friends care a lot more about them" which makes kinda.. no sense at all since their WoW friends consisted of 14-20 year old guys who saw that girl on FB, and yeah she was kinda hot. You get the point.

FPS are fun online but then again you can only play them for a limited amount of time unless you are a "hardcoe FPS" player who fell in love with "frags" or whatever you wanna call it.
I rather play Crysis singleplayer and understand the story than spawn on a map and start clicking my mouse randomly on the screen hoping I end up top.
I rather play Fallout 3 than WoW and actually play through a very good storyline than stand in a city for several hours just chatting to people since there's nothing to do except raid or go play pathethic and unbalanced arena.

Sometimes with my PS3. In games where the only way to communicate with other people is to shoot them :hehe:

Pretty much never. I haven't played a game online of my own volition since Starcraft about a decade ago, and even then I never touched the "normal" multiplayer. I only went for the custom-map games like Sunken Defense and Elements, and mostly ignored other players in them. I sometimes play stuff like Left 4 Dead or Team Fortress 2, but only because I was gifted copies from other people and feel obligated to play with them; I've never bothered seeking out normal, open multiplayer in them by myself. I have a number of FPS games whose multiplayer components I've never even looked at.

Civ5 (human opponents are much more challenging than the A.I.)
Magicka (sorry for accidentally blowing everybody to smithereens)

So far those are the only MP games I've tried.

Occasionally. I used to play Unreal Tournament '99 quite a bit, and the original Call of Duty. More recently, I played Modern Warfare 2 a but on the 360, but lost interest after a couple of weeks.

I also played Guild Wars regularly for a few months. I actually had alot of fun with that, but I tended to play it more as a single player game, only joining parties when I had to, and avoiding joining guilds and the like.

I much prefer single player gaming, although there are a few MMOs that appeal to me. Eve Online is at the top of the list, but unfortunately I just can't see myself ever having enough free time to really get into it.

I play a lot online when it is available to me, particularly COD, Halo, Bad Company 2 and League of Legends.. I play plenty of others as well though.

your right Velorien pong and other early games were multiplayer. but i mean a game which has thousands of players online. also have no problem with FPS i like them but most are just way to short for my taste. As soon as i get into one the ending comes up and i am like WTF.

I'd say 90% of my gaming is online. Quake 3 Arena is my favorite game, but since it's playerbase is pretty small, I mostly play Quake Live and a little Starcraft 2.

Sometimes. I love playing with friends and completely random people. Humans are social creatures. I think I'd go insane if I could never talk to anyone while playing.

That being said, I love games like Final Fantasy and racing games where it's just me.

FO3 had a story?

Yes you save the world and give people water.. I didn't finish it yet!
I prefer 1 single quest in Fallout 3 where you get around so much and get to know so many interesting unique NPC's than the whole story in WoW where you don't even really know [censored] about the raid unless you go read wowwiki like a nerd.
I had really great ideas regarding how to improve the way people find things out about the story in WoW which would work pretty well, but of course it's too much for a company like Blizzard. Rather give shamans new icons.

I used to play CoD online a bit, but that's years ago. I think playing online in the future will be a very rare occasion for me.

I'm guessing you haven't played WoW, because each questline has a story to it if you actually read the quest dialog. And we're on a gaming forum so your nerd comment doesn't quite make sense.

WoW has an excellent story, sorry if you don't know where to look?

Some MMO's, but mostly just solo, to experience the worlds / stories / graphics.

Basically can't stand any form of PvP, so I don't do competitive games.... no Starcraft or RTS's, no FPS crap, etc. The people are unpleasant, the experience is horrible, etc.

Co-op games.... a little bit. Minecraft recently, Diablo 2 several years ago. As a way to keep in contact with scattered friends. (The Diablo 2 game was with several people from highschool.)


But 95% of the time, it's single player offline. One of the reasons I'm not fond of this whole push to make everything online/Steam/etc. Diablo 3 being Always Online All The Time is probably going to be enough to make me not get it, even though I've been looking forward to it for years.

You're doing it wrong.



Nice one.

I'll hop onto CS:S once in a while, as well as LotRO and DDO, and I was recently trying out AoC, but I generally stay away from the whole "online experience" mostly because there's other people involved.

Every quest has a story, are you for real?
Every quest is about go kill X and bring me Y. Only since Cata they actually bothered to give more interesting quests and there's even only a few of them like the one in EPL with the caravan. Most quests are still a joke and completely pointless.

And to the guy who said WoW has a good story. Yeah, it sure does, just that you actually don't notice anything. Warcraft has huge potential but they ruined it all with turning it into a joke. No matter how good a story is, you can't expect every single player to be exactly like you, to order every single WoW book, to go read every page on wowwiki. It's up to the developer to make sure people understand the story without having to look everywhere for it.
Everyone who defends "WoW story" is just someone who spends too much time on it. At the end of the day you only need to go outside of any capital city to see all these people who know literally nothing about the story. The only people who really know everything are "achievement [censored]s" who spend their whole life on everything WoW related and I don't consider them the average WoW player.

Also yeah Fallout 3 has a huuuuge world and you can spend your whole life doing random quests but it still has a nice main story line. Just because there are a lot of other quests it doesn't mean that it doesn't have a story. I find it better than most other RPG's who don't have the huge world.

Please read my post again. Questline.
