One thing that grinds my gears is this obsession with competitive MP. What happened with co-op? I have these great memories playing games with friends on the couch, cooperatively. Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, etc.
The moment online multiplayer appeared, these types of games disappeared. Its either competitive or mmporpgs. It's weird, I never understood why that happened. It's either fight ourselves or nothing. Just imagine what could be done. Playing a single player RPG with just a friend. Fight together or split side-quests. So many possibilities.
I guess it's easier to make people spend money on in-game crap when they're trying to one-up someone.
Yeah! Beating up the computer with friends is great! Couch co-op seems to have gone away, at least somewhat. I know some exist, but my memory has been bad lately so I forget err...what they are making.
We've a weekly game night with a few friends. We mostly play survival crafters, because that's about the only co-op experience we can find anymore..
That said, we're doing a private server run-through of Barotrauma that promises to be fun.
My brother and I used to spend hours playing together in an old 2-player dungeon game.
Thats exactly what it is, mobile gaming showed up with its microtransactions and proved its model was vastly more profitable, and so the downhill slide began.
To be honest I noticed this then new trend a while before micro-transactions were a thing.
