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.
  
  There are hundres of them which are still accessible via lord gabens site. No need to "miss them"
- 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
  
  I think I can guess what you guys eat between sessions..
  
  The couch co-op for BG3 is pretty amazing.
- 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.
  
  I would imagine couch coop is a significantly smaller market
- Helldivers!
  
  Surprisingly not terrible for a lobby based game!
  
  Still requires playing, and dealing with, other people. It would have been a great single player game.
  
  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.
- 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
  
  You can but crouching and getting back up is so slow you can't tell what people are doing anymore
  
  The saving grace is you don’t have to crouch as low any more
  
  I think they do that to obfuscate how many bots they use.
  
  It's honestly pretty sad how believable a theory that is
- 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
- Outriders campaign is great for co-op.
  
  That game falls off so hard in the endgame. Have never seen such a massive failure.
  
  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.
- 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.
- Zombies man.
