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, I miss those type of games.
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
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
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
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
I (allegedly) have friends, but we're all adults so there's no way I can actually schedule time to play with them.
This is also my situation. Also friends who don't game at all.
But if they focused on single-player games, they wouldn't be able to get you to buy the same game again next year.
(Madden notwithstanding)
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.
Stop forcing me to play with strangers online, split screens need a comeback!
I haven't played online multilayer since Halo 2 and I don't think anything will get me to start again.
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 everything a rogue or soulslike too FFS
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.
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.
Hello fellow married gamers!
Might I recommend:
Raft.
Dinkum.
Grounded.
Valheim.
V Rising.
Starfew Valley/Terraria.
Those are all games we've played together.
I'd like to suggest a game called Planet Crafter. Me and my significant other picked it up recently and it's a fun and chill crafty survival terraforming game. There is no combat or monsters trying to eat you, survival is just like oxygen water and food bars, so that might be a turn off for some, but it fit the vibe we were wanting to play. Crafting / base building is similar to subnautica.
+1. I have nothing further to add.
bouta make true AGI so I can create friends to play with
Sounds good until the Ai finds you toxic and wants to play Stardew Valley alone.
fair enough for the ai tbh
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.
Yeah but actually playing with friends is so much better. I almost exclusively do it that way now
Can't stand playing other people. What's wrong with solo games?
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)
"I don't have the patience for PvP"
The problem isn't necessarily multiplayer games as much as many multiplayer games refuse to release with functions to help you group/party find and actually meet people in-game. They don't have to because discord exists.
So you go to play a new game and turns out you're just playing with the same people you always play games with because despite being multiplayer there's no reason to interact with strangers in-game.
i have a couple friends but they secretly hate me so make games for that please thanks
they're called MOBAs
Dave the Diver has been pretty fun.
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.
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.
