Online play can be fun, but nothing can be like having someone next to you, commenting, teasing you, just spending time with another person. I remember playing various fighting games with friends, or many beat em ups. Finishing Halo and Gears of War with my friend. Online play will never have that feeling.

I miss this :'(
There are still games like this out there :) it's just that they're not as prevalent as they use to be.
@thewriterguy I agree and I wondered for a long time why gaming was just not as fun these days or why I always preferred the nintendo system bringing people together, yes even with todays online play its just not the same.
There are some interesting and fun things about online play, you can meet people from all over the world. People you might have never met before, as well as experience what it's like to go on a quest with 50 other people.
I've done my share of online play, and it can be fun. It can also be super frustrating to get 50 people organized to do something! There's always somebody either idle, not ready, not listening, or just plain trolling to try to derail the mission.
It can happen and it can be a problem, and I'm not a huge fan of it, but when it does happen it can be amazing :)
At least with online play you can turn on your system and play with people at any time of the day without worrying about whether your friends are available to come over, it's better for people who want to spend 24/7 gaming
That's one of the better things about the online play. I do prefere single player games, but I do like ocasional multyplayer games as well.
