Everywhere we turn, games are all around us. On the tv, the internet, even on your cellphones! But im here asking What is your favorite Type. Personally for me i love Online Games. Being able to Play with alot of Live players and human interaction. I love The excitement of getting together witha clan/guild and killing a really hard Boss or Doin a dungeon. Teamwork and just a place to talk with and meet new people. But i do enjoy console games too, Storylines and plots leading to some catastrophic event that you're tryin to prevent. Both worlds are very exciting to me. My Question to you is, if you had a choice which would you choose? The excitement of Being part of a large group of people with a massive online community or would you rather sit down with a console game and play through a very intresting storyline where you take the role of the main Character. Which one appeals you most?

Considering my tastes, I would prefer the online MMO scene for playing a RPG with friends, or a FPS with random people. To date, no AI can truly emulate feelings. Whatever it is being proud of that Boss you just killed, and wanting to boast about it to everyone, or having a small fear while playing and sticking to that guy you know is a good player. Online gaming provides with a whole layer of psychological expression, which, although subtle, gives it much more life.

I prefer console games, mainly RPGs, especially ones with 2-4 discs because they usually have a longer play time and a long, and interesting storyline, but sometimes online games can be fun, but some of the more entertaining ones cost money to play, after you buy them, or they have 'premium' items/equipment that can be purchased with real money giving some that can spend money on virtual items/services an unfair advantage...

Ya alot of MMORPGs have premium items. A few ive played like Atlantica online was a free 2 play game but the Cash shop made it so people can spend real money and get really far in it. But like Cabal online you can't really get fair from cash shop and its one of the best free MMOs out , but it lacks content

I love games, mainly rpgs. I LOVE mmo's though. I've played them all! I love playing with a group of people and depending on them, helping them, spending quality time with people, interacting, and just having a fun time and making new friends.
