    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.

      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

      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.

          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.

            I agree with you on the mechanics. The game itself is fun and the story was great. Just found the endgame to be massively lacking.

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

      I love rogues, but most soulslike games feel soulless (pun intended). Once in a while we get a great game like Lies of P, but most of the time they are uninspired.

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

    all games should be both. I love the pawn system in dragons dogma 2 and would love an online/offline mmo that would let your character level and get rewards from other people using your character.

    TBH I’d like more multiplayer games with a real story. Most games on PC and console alike are singleplayer only.

    (MMO and MOBA excluded)

      “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

    I just started playing online games with my friends (mainly kids in the family) and I am having a blast. World War Z on PlayStation is so damn fun!
