My girlfriend got me SCV for valentines day because she is awesome like that. I've played the last one and got fairly decent with Raphael, but I never really got "into" the game. Or the genre, really. I'm trying, but I don't have the time to find/ join a local group, and I don't see xbox live being worth it for one game. Is it still playable, or will I have to sign up for multiplayer? For that matter, would it be better to get the game on the PS3 and not have to worry about it?
Worth it without multiplayer?

See if you can get your girlfriend to play it with you offline. :p Or if you can get any of your other friends into it. I can't imagine not being able to play online myself, but online definitely has its drawbacks.

SCV will get boring pretty fast if you have nobody to play with

First off, your girlfriend is awesome. I'd second what DerLindwum said, try to get her or some friends to play it with you. If you can get some friends to play it with you every now and then, that's better than playing online with random strangers anyways.
You could have fun with it on your own, but if you want to get the most out of it it's best to play with others. It's a social, competitive game after all.

It really depends which version you want. If you want to save money, get the Ps3. Because unlike XBL, you don't have to pay just to play online. PsN allows you to play online as long as you want. Drawbacks are XBL imho has a better netcode than PSN. However, they're just about the same with pros and cons.
SCV is more multiplayered based imho. It forces you to go fight it out with other peeps because there's not much single player modes save the CAS mode. Right now, worry about telling us who you plan to main, where you live(just in case you need offline company), and about yourself and why you joined.

Fair enough. I'll probably stick to Raphael for a while, I'm trying to get out of button-mashing and the fencer mentality seems to force that. Once I get a grasp on things, I'll probably branch out to Mitsurugi, and maybe try out some of the new ones in the story mode. I live in Illinois, going to college at ISU (I live off campus and work, so gaming club probably won't work out).
I joined because I want to try my hand at games that aren't shooters or roleplay, and my internet was too laggy for Starcraft. I still don't get the appeal; it seems too fast-paced for real strategy, and the matches are a bit short for any involved epicness, but I'm slowly getting into it. I also joined for the support: despite buying it for me, my girlfriend doesn't see the point in fighting games, and I don't have any friends to invite and play with, so it can be a bit hard to find a reason to keep playing.
As for me personally, I'm wrapping up a bachelor's degree in mathematics and having a *slight* "oh my god my major is useless and I've wasted 4 years of my life" crisis. My girlfriend has been dating me for 5 years, and we've been dating each other for a year and a half (I'm thick, and possibly blind). On a personal level that can only be shared anonymously with strangers on the internet, I've been seeing a psychiatrist at my family's request. Funny story, actually: of all the things that get people out of bed in the morning, I had none of them and felt totally fine. This was apparently, and I quote, "not normal", "deeply disturbing", and "what the ^#$% dude?". I think it's hilarious.
So, that's me in a nutshell. Questions?
