There are pros and cons to everything. You get to play before the game gets spoiled in GOTY podcasts. You can play a multiplayer game when the most people are playing, before the game has been "solved".

Multiplayer games are the only ones I buy new, but as I grow up, I find myself turning to multiplayer games less and less in favor of good story and single player experience.
