I see you got the stains out.

For couch co-op, I really enjoyed "It Takes Two". I also had fun with "A Way Out", but the mechanics on that one weren't as good.Feels like ages since I played a really good couch co-op game I think I finally found one in Nobody Saves the World. It has a fantastic, charming 2D art style with some surprisingly compelling and deep RPG mechanics for an action game. The gf and I are having a blast with it. Highly recommend

Unravel 2, Lego games.Good couch co-op games are surprisingly rare, and I'm always on the lookout for them. What are some of your other past favorites?
Our list is something like Overcooked, Portal 2, Rayman Legends, TowerFall, Super Mario 3D World, Snipperclips, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Streets of Rogue, and, most recently, Escape Academy.
We've also had fun together with some narrative- centered games not explicitly designed for co-op such as The Wolf Among Us, Heavy Rain, and Telling Lies.
Did you ever give Tom Clancy's The Division 2 a chance? I think you both have to have your own system to run it on. I've only played with buddies who are located all across the US and we PCs game. But playing with others actually allows you to really crank up the difficulty, and then try and theory craft your build for maximum damange and get to work. You can really impress yourself or others with some of the builds you come up, but then again, I can also impress some with the sheer stupidity or audacity (actually not sure which is the correct term for half the stuff I try and pull off) with my builds as well.Feels like ages since I played a really good couch co-op game I think I finally found one in Nobody Saves the World.

I thought Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 reload were really good. I also enjoyed Stellar blade, but this year does seem to be pretty hollow. A lot more flops than hits this year.What a crappy gaming year it has been so far. Can't say anything has really left much of an impact. Balatro is the only thing that had me hooked for a while.
What a controversy it was. How dare devs have a visually pleasing main character. We all demand fat ugly leads, that makes it soooo much more appealing.Stellar Blade, sold great for a new IP, but was mired in controversy. I thought it was a blast. Souls like, but with nicer checkpoints.
Frankly this generation as a whole has been a a bust. 21 and 23 were at least good years, even great. So much meh or worse in between.What a crappy gaming year it has been so far. Can't say anything has really left much of an impact. Balatro is the only thing that had me hooked for a while.

I probably liked Balatro, Elden Ring DLC, Prince of Persia the Lost Crown and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth the most. A really soft lineup of games considering its already over the halfway point.
Some possible early access bangers are out as well like Hades 2 and Manor Lords. However, I don't touch early access. Wait for the full release and thoroughly complete the full game and thats that.
Is Dynasty mode any good? Been on vacation but plan on picking it up when I get backFrankly this generation as a whole has been a a bust. 21 and 23 were at least good years, even great. So much meh or worse in between.
CFB25 is all I need for a while though. Yeah it is EA and yeah it sucks in so many ways. But it is scratching that phantom limb
It seems the sim and rankings are kinda broken, but I kinda feel that is the case for all the EA games and back to OG CFB games.Is Dynasty mode any good? Been on vacation but plan on picking it up when I get back
Yeah, but who are we kidding, it's for anime gamers.You can have visually pleasing characters without objectifying women.
Oh please. We objectify men all the time as well, somehow thats not an issue though. Visually pleasing males or females appeal to the majority of the population on planet earth. A videogame is pure fantasy, why the hell not make the most appealing experience to most users?You can have visually pleasing characters without objectifying women.

I get not having sex appeal when the emphasis is to make a grounded hard hitting story like the Last of Us. However, when the game is an intentionally ridiculous anime inspired hack and slash just go with what the people want.
From any perspective... on any side... this is the dumbest shit.You can have sex appeal without objectification, that was what I was saying.
They are not appealing to "most users", most people find games like Steller Blade to be creepy. They are targeting a specific demographic. And that's alright by me. I'm only really annoyed by the fans of that game attacking and review bombing games that are not made specifically for them.
They know what their audience wants.
Seems relevant... and BRB
Imagine that. Giving the customers what they want, wild idea.They know what their audience wants.
Also, as a Korean studio, this kind of thing is completely aligned with how Korean gender politics work. There was recently an interesting two-hour deep dive into Korean gender politics and the Korean games industry by a YouTuber called Moon Channel.
This is the first year where releases have hooked me back into gaming. I never play FPS games, but Helldivers 2 and Deadlock are loads of fun and I started playing with buddies I haven't gamed in ages with.What a crappy gaming year it has been so far.

That's gotta be one of the greatest things about gaming. The online communitities and "digital friends" that you end up actually becoming friends with over the years.This is the first year where releases have hooked me back into gaming. I never play FPS games, but Helldivers 2 and Deadlock are loads of fun and I started playing with buddies I haven't gamed in ages with.
Last year was a banger, this year has mostly been a bunch of okay stuff. Still enjoyment to be had, but nothing that I'll vividly remembered years down the line. To be fair, I'm not that much into online games. The scene is so ridiculously sweaty lol.This is the first year where releases have hooked me back into gaming.

Helldivers might scratch that it if you haven't tried it yet (albeit no campaign, but it's highly immersive), especially if you have a buddy to play with. Even if you don't, the community is pretty friendly since it's PvE rather than PvP. It's also not monetized which I give the developers huge props for - you can unlock everything F2P and they there isn't any P2W aspect. I refuse to pay for loot boxes, but I actually bought some credits because I felt that the base game was so cheap and wanted to support them.Last year was a banger, this year has mostly been a bunch of okay stuff.

As to the FPS, glad you are into it. For me the genre has taken a massive nosedive compared to the past. Used to have epic stuff like Half Life 2, F.E.A.R, Bioshock, Halo was awesome, even COD in the early years was super enjoyable. Now it's mostly looter shooters with tons of monetization, very rarely is there quality shooter with an actual campaing. Metro Exodus was a breath of fraish air, but thats already a while ago.
