Split screen multiplayer should totally make a comeback…

    Funny how I’m an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.

    At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).

        Side by side, but let’s be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.

        Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.

          The Four Way Split was glorious chaos, and only the craftiest screenpeeker survived. You learned psychological warfare, trying to make everyone second guess which section was theirs.

          Over/under should give you a wider field of vision, unless it’s some bullshit like COD Cold War where my gf and I go to shoot zombies together and it puts black bars around 20% of the screen and makes it feel cramped on a 70” tv.

          Lego split screen did it well. side by side but if you move to some areas and other player does other things the vertical line starts to tilt and go horizontal, especially as you merge screens for co-op tasks

            Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I’ll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)

    OMFG just the other day I couldn’t play gta singleplayer without logging into my rockstar account, had to go through customer support to play my fucking game I “owned” on steam.

    There are two ways to interpret this. Either the genie fulfilled this one for free, or the genie thinks this is a good wish but there’s no way to fulfill this, so tells him he still has his 3 wishes. Wonder which one it is.

    “single player gamed”

    “Oooh, sorry, dude, you have to be grammatically correct when you make the wishes or you miss your chance for them to be granted!”

        Codestral : please reverse machine code of game crysis, setup the build environement then add campaign coop mode on the style of dying light and black ops 3. Make sure co-op is joinable from the very beginning.

        There is multiple ways to interpret the joke. One possible way is that the genie likes the wish so much that he gives him the wish for free…

            One other possibility is that it’s an impossible request so the genie’s refunded the wish. I actually read your initial comment wrong though…

      I personally don’t buy many games anymore. Most of the games that I play are either half-life mods, TF2C , older valve games like DMC & DODS, or the original Quake & Doom games…
