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

The upcoming Space Marine game might hit the spot, if the previews are anything to go by. 3-player co-op campaign

3-player main campaign plus a 3-player co-op operations mode that will start out as a side story happening simultaneously to the main campaign that they’re going to add more content to going forward.

It sounds like they’re specifically catering content towards me.

Halo series on Xbox :’(

But also Baldurs Gate 3. Been playing that with my wife and it’s fantastic even just for the sole reason of being able to plug 2 Xbox one controllers into my desktop and play on the couch with Mrs. Perogigurl

The couch co-op for BG3 is pretty amazing.

Still requires playing, and dealing with, other people. It would have been a great single player game.

You can play solo, just set to “Private”, don’t invite anyone and dive, dive, dive!

Also this is a reply to someone who specifically mentioned coop so kind of irrelevant.

Yeah, it’s annoying how many games are single player

I have a console for couch play, why is it so hard to have couch play

I have a HTPC with 4 controllers and honestly my steam library has more couch games than my old Xbox.

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

That game falls off so hard in the endgame. Have never seen such a massive failure.

Yeah, it’s just a loot grind at end game. Mechanics are solid af though. I wouldn’t say it’s a massive failure. At least not at levels like Anthem or something.

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.

I (allegedly) have friends, but we’re all adults so there’s no way I can actually schedule time to play with them.

But if they focused on single-player games, they wouldn’t be able to get you to buy the same game again next year.

And solo players might not be as motivated to buy and show exclusive loot and skins

They would also have to come up with a story and level design. It’s easier to make other players the content of the game.
