EB: Couch co-op gaming has always been one of my favorite past times, namely because it was the main style of gameplay offered during the 80’s and 90’s, which is the timeframe that I first fell in love with my video game hobby. The act of settling in with neighborhood buddies or school friends to play through a new NES or SNES game was an amazing experience, and a great way to bond with people that share similar interests to yours. Unfortunately, with the advent of online gaming, many developers cast the whole couch co-op motif aside, effectively limiting the experience to only a few modern titles, and they’re almost always from the FPS genre.
With that being said a few Indie developers have brought back couch co-op, and a few AAA titles offer the mode on current-gen consoles, but for the most part, the best couch co-op experiences are rooted in past games or franchises. The list below represents the 11 best games and/or franchises to have featured couch co-op.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Add Helldivers to that list.
Gears is one of the greatest.
