Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change (pdx.su)

Yup, we've played every Borderlands game, It Takes Two, Palworld, Rotwood, PlateUp, LEGO Harry Potter, Deep Rock Galactic, Outward, Stardew Valley, Cult of the Lamb, Sea of Thieves, Baldur's Gate 3, Grounded, Don't Starve Together.... We also play other 'competitive' games co-op against bots, like in Beyond All Reason, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and Predecessor. I could go on but I could list games for a while. Definitely always looking for new ones though.

Portal 2 co-op is dope.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

One of my favorites. The ability to be a dick to your friend and vice versa adds more replayability then you'd expect

If you likes it takes two, in march the same studio should release "split fiction".

Other titles that come to mind: cuphead, untitled goose game, overcooked (!), valheim.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Split fiction looks super cool!

Rayman Legends is an amazing couch co-op game if you like platformers. I still think about the musical levels from time to time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Should really check that one out, I've always heard good things

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Sure you can play doom 1 and 2 campaigns in co-op. No need for modding. You don't even need a network card. Just buy a cable to connect both serial-ports on the PCs.

That was my first co-op experience and it still one of the best I've ever had.

And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It's gets pretty hectic pretty fast.

Arma 3 offers a unique coop experience due to Arma's nature. Worth a try if you have a group of friends to play with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Ghost Recon. Outriders. There are more. And old games are still fun. (But yes, more would be better)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Sea of Stars added co-op for up to 3 players in a recent update.

Also, Broforce is 1-4 players

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

ooo, i was wondering when that Sea of Stars update was coming out, thanks. time to buy it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Railbound is a fun one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Our throats hurt from laughing when playing "Chained Together". It's short and cheap. We're happy we picked easy mode for the first play through since that's already quite challenging
