No one cares what you've done in SP except maybe when you show off a high score or a video, or do something extraordinary like a speedrun but that happens to have an online MP component too, since the fun is comparing and competing with your friends and others. |
Definitely agree with this. Lots of "ohshit" moments when playing a good multiplayer game with friends. Things stay exciting and unpredictable. SP's in a game are comparable to movies - they're great the first few times but lose value extremely fast.
And like he said, scores/trophies/etc in SP don't have as much merit as the ones in MP do.

I think it's been this way for a long time. The thing is back then, SP was pretty much the only option there was till splitscreen came along. Humans are naturally social. With internet becoming more and more common, it should be expected that online play is improving and becoming more mainstream.
