I'm curious how social you guys are when playing video games. I personally prefer to play alone with single-player games. I like immersing myself in the game for a nice little break from reality. However when I play multiplayer games or with other people I just can't seem to relax. I'd love to hear what you guys do.
 
For me it's predominantly single-player, but I don't mind multiplayer games that use either chat "wheels" where you can't type out your own messages, or that use canned voice-lines, like in Earth Defence Force.
 
Alone, coaching others on a game isn't fun at all unless we’re on a sesh or something.
 
I stopped playing multi-player games a long time ago, and now exclusively play single-player games alone. All by myself.
 
Much as I prefer flying solo, I've had fun playing multiplayer most every time. Especially nowadays, when it's not common for me to do so. Besides? My word, beat-em-ups and some other games are so much easier with a Player Two than a single player.

For sake of democracy which is non-negotiable, I picked "Alone, Single Player Games" on the poll.
 
usually single player games but I equally spend the same amount of time, sometimes more, on 1-on-1 Fighting games online, sometimes offline which you can consider multiplayer. honestly i'm split 50/50.

Both, really. Couch multiplayer games are more of a social activity, while solo games are either about personal challenge or a experience altogether.

In more rare occasions the multiplayer games is both about social and challenge. In those cases you'll see the most expressive and over the top version of me.
 
I highly prefer single player games. Although I did have fun with Maple Story during the beta and a few years beyond that.
 
Alone for both single-player and multiplayer.
I'm heavy into competitive multiplayer games but i hate anything that involves playing with other people, unless it's a session of fighting games with a good friend.
I MIGHT rarely be willing to play a single player with someone very close to me but i think it's only fun if it isn't a coop game
 
Alone i guess. Local Multiplayer is really fun but i haven't gotten any opportunities to play any games locally ever since i finished college, and playing Online games with random people is an awful experience that i prefer to stay away from.
 
I enjoy playing single player games and getting immersed in the story that being said I like giving my friends a good whopping on SMB or Tekken
 
I usually play jrpg games on DSi or PSP, obviously alone, while I play beat'em up and shoot'em up games with my son, my brother or some friends, on a bootleg multi-systems console: here obviously the fun is more, but also the fits of anger. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Single-player with or without friends and couch co-op, that's it. Competitive versus brings out the worst in strangers and most people suck at co-op or don't try. The last online multiplayer game I played was Journey, funnily enough.
