The Bookie's Nook

well, I dont want to co-op. I want to play alone. What about me,the initial key demographic :/

Well with the development of online play more people just want cooperative gameplay even in RPGs and JRPGs.

but its fucked up if they shove it right down our throats. Forced Co-Op is just bullcrap.
I mean, its fucked up that the Single Player experience s usually weakened in favor of some arbitary MUltiplayer modes. especially in games that dont NEED them.
See Spec Ops the Line, Tomb Rider and Every Resident Evil after 5

Well to be fair to Resident Evil, their multiplayer is kinda fun even if it is tacked on. Well it's all about keeping the player playing longer and a multiplayer/co-OP mode sort of does that for most people.

I blame bookie

all of the blame!

Why u do dat detective mouse? D:

the clues told me it was Bookie with a candlestick in the Nook

>servers go down
>Coop partner is not there

this is why I value the single player cntent way over the MP content.
Sure, Multiplayer can be fun. But Multiplayer in Horror really takes off that edge.
Okay, its a long shot to call everything past the halfway point of RE4 a "Horror"game in that series, but meh.

also: theres Coop centered games, games that are hard as balls alone but stillkinda give you that Option with the partner replaced by Bots. Those are L4D and Payday. then theres coop focussed games that are pretty much the same without the helping AI Partner (or with fucking useless AI Partners). Those are the Fuckzone of gaming because you are FORCED to play them with someone. Those are for example OMD2 and Call of Juarez : the cartel and Dead Island.

Even if those things happen I'm more content playing with someone else unless I can't find a co-op partner then I'm more willing to play by myself. I think it's because my brother and I use play most games together so I'm willing to play co-op if available. But I do hate games where you're forced to have an co-op partners because the game is impossible to beat without them. The game should at least let you beat the game without partners with some added difficultly or strategy.

which is pretty much back to OMD2.
Some of the later levels have 2 Finishing Points with at least one distinct entrance each, so at least 2 entirely different paths to defend. From my experience theres no real autonomous trap lineup since cooldowns are so terribly high yu have to pick up stuff yourself.
Now, you cant make one way "kill everything with traps" and the other you defend by yourself, since both parts do not really work standalone.

Geez that sounds terrible. If they just made it so that traps had shorter cooldown and were autonomous then I guess it would be doable by yourself but I guess they want traps to be autonomous because then you can just like traps do all the work.
