I really do think its stupid to buy a game only for online , why not get the full moneys worth

 

Simple. If I enjoy multiplayer more, and strive to be the best I can be at it, then time spent on single player is a waste of my time. Everyone has different likes, and dislikes. 

And it's not like I don't play any single player games. I love all of the Zelda and Mario games, and play all of them all the way through. However, if I play the first bit of a game and I am not enjoying myself as much as I do when I play it online then I feel that I am truly getting more of my money's worth by playing it online.

 

 

But why not just see the campaign through, the online isnt going away anytime soon, but whatever though i mean its your money if you want to waste it by not playing the whole game then fair enough

 

I see what you are saying, but I still think my time is better spent doing what I enjoy the most, and in the case of a select few games, what I enjoy the most is their multiplayer component. By your argument of getting your money's worth, I can say only this. If I enjoy Halo 3 multiplayer 2 times more than the single player campaign, then the 20 or so hours spent playing through the campaign were 20 hours where I was having half as much fun as I could have been had I spent that time online.

I'm admittedly a multiplayer junkie, so for me, getting my money's worth often means skipping the single player if I find the first few missions/levels/ to be kind of bleh.
