I had this friend of mine back then, and we usually argue when it comes to playing games.
He's the type of guy who would stick his a-s-s on playing games such as PS2 and the likes.
While everytime I played online games, he always criticize me for what Im doing,
Asking things like what do I gain in playing online where you just level up and level up.
In his view, he'd rather prefer consoles game, since he feels like that whenever he finishes one kind of game (like RPG games) he feels very accomplished and he drools over the success that he had.
So what can you say guys about this topic?

Though i'm not a gamer, booth kinds of games will do for me. But, bassically we have favorites, offline gets the top list. ^_^ [psalm1_3]
I am a huge gamer,and I have always loved offline console games,because in my opinion they are the best, because to me they are easier to play,so if I want to play a game,I go to mine and my fiances room and play the X-box,I will admit some online games are fun,and I am not putting them down,they are just not my cup of tea. [hellcowboy]
Your very welcome for the comment,and I was more than happy to respond to you,and I hope if I respond to peoples discussions they will respond too mine,and I know what you mean,my brother has always been into the Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid games,and yeah console games always have a storyline which makes them very interesting,and easy to follow,have a great day, good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
i'd prefer offline games. although i've played 1 online game (yeah, one only!) and i enjoyed it. i'd rather play offline games maybe because of the same reason as your friend. online games are also fun, it's just that i'm not that good (compared to other players) that's why i keep losing. :) plus, sometimes the internet connection is very slow it'll just make me mad. [janisvg18]
I prefer offline. Everytime i play online games,there WILL be some 13-years old screaming NOOB and LOLZ and PWNADSFNOEFN.It is very annoying. [taqinaka]
HAHA! That's what makes online quite fun. There are certain times that you will confront those kind of moronic people. But hey, it's part of the game. [muxicka]
i prefer the offline games.. but when come in group i prefer playing online game [sandbrother]
i prefer the online one. it's just more fun [siZidni]
If you want real friends and not just the AI, go online [profitsg]
i like offline game but only PC game. Have GTA IV already on PC? [gatotkaca1979]
I'm not really into that type of game. Although its sometimes amusing do look at the main char do silly stuffs. [muxicka]
I prefer Offline games most often N more so..I prefer playin Solitaire:) [doctorgenius]
I am playing the map called DOTA in the warcraft 3 TFT game. If not online, at least i play in a LAN game. I want my enemies to be player controlled and not just AI's. That is why i really hate online MMORPG games and the likes. AI's are weak! I want my opponents play as good as or even better than me. If i am to play offline games, i will play it hard mode or even harder. At least, even though my opponents there are AIs, it will still be a challenging game because of the game mode. Leveling up, killing AIs in mmorpg games and the likes, is the most boring games I ever tried. [gicarlo]
ahaha. See how unfair online games are? you are level one and there are these level 70+ already. [gicarlo]
offline are good, but for a game to be good, it has to keep you playing for hours, and once youve completed a single player game, its boring to do it again, whereas online allows you to extend the lifespan of a game because its always new. online is usually more fun aswell. [BenMartyn]
Thanks for the comment and I believe you're right. [muxicka]
I like a lot of racing games. I'm not really one for the types of games where you have to search for things. I play the computer game The Sims 2 a lot. And then I spend my other time playing PS@. I'm kind of obsessed with Grand Theft Auto 3, lol. I play a few games online, but it's not something that I do a lot. [Xdrowninghavocx]
I think Sims is cool, although I haven't really played it. (cant find a place to download it quickly) [muxicka]
Well, I play both online and offline games.. If I don't have internet I play some offline games in pc such as dinerdash, textwists, bookworm, etc.. Sometimes I also played gameboy advanced SP (since, I don't have PS2).. Well, I always played 1 game in gameboy and that is Harvest moon.. I know that it is boring but I am having fun playing this game because I believe that I gain something from it like having a hard work and patients in planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables in the farm and at the same time earning money so that I can extend my homes and ready to get married.. I really love playing this games.. On the other hand, I also played online games which are flyff, perfect world and gunbound.. These are some games that I really played.. Well, I don't think that I am just waisting my time in playing this game.. Because I also believe that you also gain something from it like making good strategy in order to kill the monster or oponent for me to win the game or to have a big exp. Another thing is having a long patient especially in level up because sometimes it is hard to level up especially if the character is still in the lower level.. I think your friend didn't know ho hard to level up and to think so many strategy in order to earn big exp or to win the game.. For me, playing one kind of game is boring because you learn and experience one thing and always repeating it again and again.. [kissie34]
Yeah he doesn't really know that part, and that's the one that gives the game some challenge. [muxicka]
I prefer online gaming and offline gaming. It really depends what mood i am in! But overall. I would have to say that i prefer online games more often. There is a bigger feel of accomplishment when you see someone in real-time fighting a creature and it takes them 5 minutes just to beat it. When you come along and kill it in one shot! [raptorx81]
I know what you mean. Seeing other chars that have lousy build and looking at them leveling at harder times. hehe.. Also it's also fun to have some pvp once in a while. [muxicka]
It really doesn't matter for me if it is online or off line just as long as it is entertaining and challenging at the same time. Maybe the advantage of online games is you get more interaction with more people as compared to off line games. [magojordan]
Thanks for the comment. =) [muxicka]
I like offline games than on line games. However i like the graphics of Hero on line and Cabal. They had similarities when it comes to the graphic part. What i don't like about online games is the level up portion.lollollol [lyzabelle]
lol Yeah i know. Sometimes leveling up is really hard. [muxicka]
i prefer offline games since you don't have to connect to the net just to play. but i admit that i also love playing with others in a multiplayer network. that's why i have online games installed in my pc. [borgborg]
I prefer online games myself, especially the one where you can earn points or tickets to play and cash in for prizes. I love the MSN Live Search Club games.. I have already cashed in 3 times for prizes... no shipping or handling or taxes... BUT.. I do love the Rockband game for playstation... Only game I will play that is a console game because its very interactive... [jeni_fini]
I think it's a matter of preference or interest. People who go for offline games prefer the adventure or interesting storylines of the game itself. Like reading a book, the sense of fulfillment in the end is very sweet. However, for online gamers, they prefer adventure too but more focused on meeting new people, friends, from different parts of the country or even the world. At least that's what I think. Sounds true right? Interesting topic. Thanks for putting it up. [selece]
