    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!

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

        Honestly all they need to do is create a difficulty selector. That’s the only reason I don’t play souls games.

        Inb4: “gitgud” Yeah that’s kinda my problem. Obviously.

          I agree. These people are such snowflakes. How does an optional easy mode take anything away from them? It doesn’t, yet they cry about it as if I shot their firstborn when I bring it up. Just call it “super mega crybaby loser mode”, maybe that will make them feel better when they pick the “super mega ultra sigma hardcore extreme mode”. Treat them like little children, they will fall for it.

      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.

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

    well let us help you work on having friends by making you sit alone in a room staring at a light flashing at your eyes 120 times a second screaming obscenities into a headset at like-minded people.

    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

          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.

            Except you miss out on a lot for solo. Cannot complete the higher level difficulties as they are impossible.

            It’s not like it scales for the number of players in a dive. Maybe sometime in the future.

              Still irrelevant to a coop conversation thread, but I’ve seen people Solo 9-Helldive. They are beasts, but the people going for the highest difficulty usually are. Not everyone is cut out for any given games max level, that’s part of how difficulty levels work, you find the place that challenges you in an achievable way. “I” for instance am not cut out for Legendary difficulty in any Halo campaign. And 9-Helldive with a full team is going to be dicy for me and I’m probably going to be getting carried a bit.

      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

          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.

      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

    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.

    “Stop making this thing that millions of other people enjoy but I don’t!”

    Weird meme. There’s plenty of single player games.
