Do you play the single player or multiplayer part of a game first?

When I get a new game I always jump into the single player portion first, then play some multiplayer. I do this to get achievements and learn how to play.

Single player, always, always, always. Always.

Most times I don't even ever play the Multiplayer. CoD 4 for example, never even touched it, not once, not even to try it out.

I always try out the single-player first, and most of the time, I will finish up the single-player and then make the dive into the multiplayer component.

i usually play the single game first then after i beat it i move on to the multiplayer.

Weakly attempt single player first, always. But I always get bored before I beat it and end up playing multi player.

I'm always hitting up the single-player first. I like to learn a bit about the game before I throw myself to the wolves in multiplayer, well that's if I end up wanting to attempt some multi-player action.

I always start with the single-player portion. And after I either beat it or play it for awhile, I play some of the multiplayer.

I don't even know if I have any multiplayer games. I'm so selfish with my gaming experience I'd rather keep it all to myself. xD /kidding

Now, if I had some friends who were gamers that would be different. As it is now? No point in multiplayer, and even less point in having a multiplayer online game.

Single player. I always, always, always play single player first.

Single player first, gets you used to things first.

I doubt I have ever started a game by playing multiplayer first, except for maybe one of the Halo games. since no one buys those for the campaign : )

I always start with the single player... If I find that I'm not really enjoying it I'll move onto the multiplayer (e.g. Resistance or Killzone 2).

Usually the single player first.

SP first. I'm rarely interested in the MP.

I always enter the singleplayer and finish it before ever stepping into multiplayer, unless it's a fighting game (even then) or multiplayer based game like Battlefield.

Single player.

I'll always beat single player before multiplayer, but if I have friends coming over, I'll play some multiplayer.

first player, it is the thing to do when i first play a game. it's good because  u have to learn the controls and things like that first.

I jump right into the single player and tend to beat it first before I even try the multiplayer.

Why would someone skip over the single-player which teaches you how to play the game and just jump into the online stuff where either (a) everyone who played the single-player already are and can kick your ass since they know how to play or (b) only the other folks who skipped the single-player are gathered and are trying to figure things out without having much of a clue? [wow, major run-on]

People who go straight to the multiplayer (and especially those who don't ever touch the single player) are a part of the problem. What problem? I don't know, but they're a part of it.

I always play through the single player campaign of a game first at least once on the normal difficulty, before playing any multiplayer.

I start with the Single Player.
The only exception for me was COD4, just because I NEEDED to see what the fuss was about immediately.

It depends on the game.
Usually it single player first but some times i play multi player first.

Perfect example is Sacred 2 for the 360... I've only played multi player because the game is so large i would most likely lose intrest in it after a couple of hours.

It depends on what I'm playing. I usually start with the single player, then jump into the multiplayer. But with some games, I'll jump into the multiplayer first if I've heard it's really good.

Single Player, Single Player, Single Player!!!!

I always do single player as well. However, I think I might start doing multi-player first.  Then go back & do single player later.  I find that after I'm done with single-player, I'm humdrum about the multi-player element.
