Local Multiplayer

Remember when people got together to play games? Remember when people trash talked it was friendly banter aimed at friends instead of someone trying to insult your mom with childish idiocy over a mic? I remember back in the days we could have fun playing arcade games or having meetups at a house to connect some TVs together for something like a Halo 2 party or whatever else we had to play at the time. It seems like multiplayer hasn't ever been the same since it stopped being about 'fun with other people'.

You can still do that you vapid cunt.

Hard to do it when no one else around you does or companies remove splitscreen co-op from their games.

disgusting normalfag, gtfo my board

Thank God for Steam. Even though it wasn't local multiplayer, it still felt like it. Made some friends along the way. Most of 'em are gone now.

I think I found your problem.

couch co-op was the greatest invention of man and humanity has abandoned it
every day we stray further from gods light

I still play Couch coop with a friend from time to time. We have to Play old games but their fun unlilke most modern ones.

I have friends over almost every week for some good old local multiplayer on the Dreamcast/Xbox/NGC/PS2. We usually play stuff like:
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Mercs vs. Spies
Power Stone 2
Dokapon Kingdom
Kung Fu Chaos
Gladius
Burnout 3
Mario Kart Double Dash
Sonic Shuffle
etc.
Get yourself a sixth gen console and a big CRT if you really want the local multiplayer life. Most games nowadays are online only to sucker you into the subscription service of your console of choice.

Actually wait, I lied. If you want Local MP + Modern Games you have to get a Switch. I know the prevailing attitude around here is anti-Nintendo but the fucking thing let's you play 2-4 player multiplayer literally anywhere and most of the major titles support multiplayer in some form.
Also if any of your friends have a switch they can do wireless lan for even more players on some games like Rayman or (I'm assuming) Mario Kart 8.
Plus you can play Metal Slug and Garou on the go with friends like it ain't nothing. Sage for double post + shilling.

disgusting pedofag goon, gtfo

Get a switch the thing is built around having a great time with your friends.

This. I had a LAN party to celebrate my 30th birthday last year (I'm a 90's kid, sue me). Due to internet concerns, we wound up using UT99 and Xonotic as our primary games that night.

I fucking love pretty much everything in that list.

...

I actually have a preference for older games too. It's just hard to find people online to play those games with consistently cus most older gamers interested in those games have already played them (or possibly played them to death years ago). So shits tough and obviously most newer games and casual FPS games aren't for me.

My nigger. It's fun as fuck to bully the other players into bankruptcy.

I literally did this.
Today.
On a game that game out months ago.
we were all laughing and having fun playing Laser Tag. You just suck at talking to people

why must you rub it in

Like tears in the rain.

Mine was similar except it was during high school with 2 TVs for 8 player halo.

Sorry, but the dangling rope had me laughing uncontrollably.

Cheer up, Anons. We are less than a decade away from being able to slip our dicks into automated masturbation robots while watching VR porn.

This future is upon us!

Those were dark days user. I use to play CoD:MW2 split screen. Dark days in deed.

I still play plenty of new games that way user. Its not the fault of modern games. The fault is with you and not going outside.

...

yeah, while zuckerberg watches

this makes me miss LAN parties

literally the definition of delusion

>guys haha it's just a drawing of me fucking a child

...

...

Man it just doesn't seem to be any less retarded when you apply it to other things.

...

For the last 10 years or so I've had a meetup with my childhood friends 2 or 3 times a year to play video games. Its still Unreal Tournament, CS and Street Fighter 2. As it always has been with us.

exactly, it's just that you autist. it's not real.

I doesn't have to be. You have a desire to fuck children, you are by definition a ledophile.

Fug, pedophile

Your mask is not just slipping, it launched itself into space, /reddit/.

Oh wow, I made a spelling error. I've been found out.

I noticed you can find a decent amount of "party" games but decent CO-OP games are pretty rare.

Army of Two is a really really fun co-op shooter. Sequels are pretty bad but this game is fun as fuck.

As for something new, though not co-op there's Stick Fight The Game which is awesome.

says fucking who? i was simply pointing out that you'd have to be delusional to not be able to tell the difference between a real child and a fucking drawing.
