Just gives more time to be put into a game... You can't just keep playing single player over and over it will get boring..online brings more value to the game, if you are paying $60 for single player than something is wrong...very few games can bring out that full value on single player...there is a few that can like ''The Last of Us''.

I know where you are coming from on games like borderlands with the mods but you can simply drop the weapons / shield if you ever get one....plenty of fun online coop games out there.

Games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, Halo 4 have to focus on the online because the single player can be very repetitive like the games before them.

Try out some games like L4D, you will enjoy the online to it....also GTA 5 is looking great as far as online goes.

I am currently without a current gen console, and just have a 3DS.  My stuff doesn't have online play and now i would have to get a console.  But, with money tight, I just don't see it worth my while.  So, with there needing to be a conscious decision on my part to do this, I am in a position to question it.  I do have the chance to get something like brettspielwelt.de going, but that is random players from Europe who end up barking at me to hurry up, along with other new players.  My issue with the online play for the boardgame stuff, is I can't seem to find any players.  All I get is disembodied people who act as wetwork AIs.  It isn't social at all, nowhere near the same level as in person actually.  So, I am now at a place, based on people here of both getting a console again AND also paying an annual subscription fee.  Is like $500 or more worth it?

I also did find L4D pretty cool to play with others via offline play.  GTA5 really isn't my cup of tea, as I am not really interested in random mayhem or robbing banks or stealing cars.
