(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As the "PSN outage" extends and tensions run high, there has been a high increase in threads that generally say the same thing. They all seem to point to one factor, that a lot of people only play games for the multiplayer.

Now, I'm alot older than some users ( I'm 27 ) and when I was a kid, if you wanted to play games with your friends you would have to go to their house, not just party up. So for me, playing offline is no problem.

Playing Offline

Although most of the popular games seem to be designed as a multiplayer game, they still contain a story mode and many games have multiple offline modes.

I recently bought the new Mortal Kombat, there's so much to do that I probably won't play it online until I finished all the other things I've started. I also have been playing the Crysis 2 and Black Ops campaigns, because if PSN was up I'd just be playing the multiplayer.

These can help take the hours of boredom away. Already completed it? well put it on the hardest setting and go back in.

You could probably find a guide right here on NGU!

Trophies

All games have these, use this time to go back and get ones that you forgot about or couldn't be bothered with. If your bored and your ps3 is your only source of entertainment, then trophy hunting can be a good sport.

When I first ever got a ps3, I didn't even have internet, trophy hunting was all I could do.

I know trophies may not be everyone's interest, but it does look cool to have a few platinums in your collection.

(Online trophies usually make up a small percentage of the total amount.)

Again, you can probably find help with trophies here on NGU.

Your ps3 can also;

Play stored music
Play CDs
Play Blue Rays and DVDs
Browse on the internet

So there are plenty of things that you can still do with your ps3, and even more things are available away from your ps3.

Live your life?

Enjoy the weather
Go play some sports
Go to the gym
Go to the cinema
Get a haircut
Do anything !!!

Life has so much to offer you, but you just won't take it.

It's a new day and age. We are all too used to playing online. Like you said games focus on multiplayer, it's like a custom now. I played through Assassins Creed Brotherhood and went trophy hunting for a few days, but it just gets boring, so I'm back to just waiting for PSN to be up so I can play my online.

That's the kinda response I like

Doesn't sound like your pulling your hair out about it. The same can't be said about a lot of other people lol coming on here and raging. :lol:

Yea, I agree. But people are going crazy right now, and they should understand that getting mad about something that's out of your control isn't worth it.

But I can see that you're cool about it.

Nice

Party @ your's then?
