    Start making more Co-op campaigns cause I have 1-3 friends and I don’t want my only options to play to be a sweaty deathmatch or tree cutting sim.

      As long as it’s still playable solo. A lot of co-op focused games I’ve played don’t really work when playing solo

      Agreed it’s honestly pretty sad how so many games are “multiplayer” when without any sort of public chat or communication or anything it might as well be single player with NPCs that tea bag you on occasion even then I’ve noticed that people have stopped tea bagging so you don’t even get that as a hint that there are people playing with you

      deathmatch

      breathes in

      or tree cutting sim

      Oh, nvm then.

      Edit: I may be mistakenly looping stuff like Darktide, Helldivers, Monster Hunter, etc into Deathmatch, as those are most of my co-ops aside from survival builders. I also play FFXIV and Elite Dangerous with friends so not hurting as much as others for co-op.

    Most of my friends are too busy playing old copies of Parenting and I refuse to put up with the multiplayer random matchup system.

    Multiplayer games used to have single payer storylines. Even franchises like CoD had some really fun and memorable ones (Snowy Park, anyone? “No Russian”?) and of course GTAV in general. Now it’s all just Battle Royale or some other standard FPS mode. There’s little inbetween.

    I just want to play games with my husband. We have two games we play together off an on. 7 days to die and Ark Survival Evolved.

    They’re the two that we can make a private server and the gameplay together is actually fun. Wish more games like that would happen.

    Solo player here: I still prefer multiplayer games because single player AI is dumb and predictable. I can only put up with every enemy behaving the same exact way, making the same exact mistakes so many times before it gets boring. And FWIW you don’t need friends to enjoy most online titles. Most games let you queue solo.

        Difficulty modes are for making you lose the same way every time instead of winning the same way every time.

        Multiplayer is for having a chance.

        Difficulty modes just more often than not means that the AI will either cheat or become a bullet sponge. Increasing the difficulty also doesn’t fix the issue of every enemy behaving exactly the same way as every other. Single player AI ruins immersion for me. The story has to be really good for me to be able to look past the bad AI that is in nearly every single player game.

      “Funny, I’m not picking up any enemies nearby. Are you sure?”

      Not what I meant, Cortana

      “Here’s what I found on the web for Not what I meant Cortana”

      Never mind

    Also if you insist on buying COD, please don’t make me pay extra for it to be included on game pass. I don’t want that shit.
