Do you play single-player games more or multiplayer?

Which kind of games do you play more?

I play a few multiplayer games like they are single player games. Elite Dangerous, Arc Raiders, and Star Citizen. I play in solo, or avoid and ignore other players. In some cases, I just kill other players on site, since the games are so cut throat you have to assume they mean to kill you.
 
Single player.....

HellDivers 2 is as close as I get to MP and most of the time I play solo.

I wish other games that were mainly MP had SP options. I should get back into tarkov now that it does and the other game I can't remember right now I think I'd like if it wasn't for the MP part of it (Arc Raiders?)
 
These days heavily single player. Part of it is, well, I'm old and my reflexes aren't what they used to be. Since so many multiplayer games are focused around reaction time as an important factor to winning, it makes it less interesting to me. The other part is just life, girlfriend, etc. I value the ability to have a game that runs on my schedule, not me on its schedule. With a single player game, I can just pause any time I want. So if life happens I don't feel annoyed like I'm losing progress or letting my team down or something, I just pause and deal with it, or quit entirely if it is something that takes longer.

Growing number of SP games don't allow pausing, which is pants on head retarded.

So far the only one I've run into that does that is Satisfactory, though they are fixing it in 1.2. Not a huge problem in that game though because so long as you aren't out where there are critters, you can just leave and things keep running on their own since it is an automation game.

But ya, very bad design decision. Any single player game should be plausible at any time. No exceptions and yes, even in a cutscene (which some don't allow). I think some of the reason might be consolitis: All the modern consoles will suspend the game if you go to their main menu, which is fast and requires just a single button press. So the system itself will pause the game, regardless of what the game wants. So they feel no reason to put an in-game pause. But then on a PC that multitasks properly... :p
 
Both, but mostly single player than multiplayer, being 44 kind of sick of dealing with the PVP BS like Battlefield 6. LIke to chill and take my time on SP, enjoy the game on my time.
 
Mostly single player but there are times when I want to join the mayhem of multi-player so I may hop on a MP server for an hour or two.
 
Generally I play single player games more. When I play multiplayer I only play CS2 or TF2 just because I feel old school and can't be bothered to learn the hero shooter mechanics of newer games lol. Even then I get ping issues with CS2 on Linux, could be an Nvidia issue, could be a subtick issue but otherwise I would play way more CS2 :(.

Yeah I don't mind long cutscenes but when my wife is calling and the kids are calling it's really nice when some games actually let you pause the cutscenes and really annoying when I can't pause.
 
90% single player. I really only end up playing with other people in games like Fallout 76 or if I'm playing online fighting games.
I don't feel like coordinating with other people or anything like that. I just want to hop on, have some fun, and hop off.
