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
Helldivers!
Surprisingly not terrible for a lobby based game!
Out here still playing Tiny Tina’s because cross play is such a hard concept for everyone but fortnite and the bros don’t wanna play that shit
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
You can but crouching and getting back up is so slow you can’t tell what people are doing anymore
The saving grace is you don’t have to crouch as low any more
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.
Zombies man.
I haven’t played online multilayer since Halo 2 and I don’t think anything will get me to start again.
Stop forcing me to play with strangers online, split screens need a comeback!
Stop making everything a rogue or soulslike too FFS
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.
+1. I have nothing further to add.
bouta make true AGI so I can create friends to play with
Can’t stand playing other people. What’s wrong with solo games?
i have a couple friends but they secretly hate me so make games for that please thanks
they’re called MOBAs
“I don’t have the patience for PvP”
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.
Not meant to be a sneer, but isn’t that what difficulty modes / end game content is for?
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.
Yeah but actually playing with friends is so much better. I almost exclusively do it that way now
Can I borrow your friends?
Sure thing. You want a discord link?
Not arguing that, but not everybody has that option. If you don’t have/don’t want friends, queueing solo is the next best way to get maximum enjoyment out of a game, IMO.
I feel seen.
“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
“Your next objective is just over that hill”
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.
