Am I the only one sick and tired of multiplayer games?

Question

Is it me or has the huge focus on multiplayer nowadays dumbed down a lot of games' true potential? 

Let's take Brink for example. Now, whether or not you like it - we can all agree that (for those who have played it) the game has little to no depth to an otherwise interesting story plot. But had they put they're focus on a single player campaign we would probably have an in-depth story with some awesome character development. It might have even included some philosophical or artistic features about it, much like one would see in games like Bioshock. 

Now, nothing wrong with multiplayer games. In fact, some of you may actually PREFER games which focus more on multiplayer - nothing more than opinion. Thoughts?

Nope, you're not the only one.  I admit I like to play multiplayer, but it's nice if I can get a really good single player campaign too.  That's especially true now when a lot of games are focusing on it.  For example, in Assassin's Creed, the story mode goes from 24 hours in AC2 to a little less than 20 in ACR (note that those numbers aren't completion - just beating story).  If they get any shorter, I'm not going to be happy.

I don't agree that I'm annoyed as I have Xbox Live and get the full features of a game. But, your additional details are correct, the storylines have became a lot shorter and the multiplayer has a lot more work done to it than the campaign which for non xbox live players is rubbish. But online games on the internet, they rule!

Yea, I don't want to pay 60 bucks just to have guys aged 9 through 40 to call me a "*****" so I just stick to things like fallout.
