Are you trying to tell me that they should no longer have single player games?
Oh Lord.

I love playing co-op just as much, if not more, than your average gamer.
However, there are some games I would much rather them not add online play.
I would MUCH rather them focus on creating a better single player experience in the game rather than add a needless MP (Fallout and TES were both amazing games without the MP) and have them focus a lot of time there.

Too many times you see games putting in MP when it is not needed, nay wanted.

At the end of the day, though, it is just my opinion. And you have yours.

I agree that there a lot of games out there that can only work as purely single player games. I have to admit though, I do think split screen TES and Fallout would be extremely fun if it was done well. The problem is that it would be extremely hard to make a game like TES that works well as a single player game and coop. Borderlands somewhat pulled it off, but I always felt the game was definitely meant to be played with at least one other person.

Oh trust me, many times when just sitting around bullshiting with my friends I have wished the same thing.
But then when I sit down and actually think about it, I feel it wouldn't be worth it.
The whole "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" etc.

Borderlands I agree with.

I also think RoS (Not D3) did an awesome job with couch co-op.

D3 was great couch coop imo. That alone made it better than it was on PC. I have RoS for my xb1, I just haven't played if yet tbh lol.

I assume it does as all the other ones had it. I don't really know though, not really into halo anymore.

My one problem with D3 was the picking up of the loot.
Say P1 is Barb and P2 is a Wizard.
When shit gets fast paced in the games (especially when playing with others) you end up just grabbing everything not worrying which class it was meant for.
Barb picking up mojos, wizard picking up str gear...etc
Then you have to go through and see whose gear is whose. A decent amount of down if you are playing with other players. Especially since only one person can open the inventory at a time.

In RoS, when you pick up loot, no matter who picks it up, it goes to the person that the drop was meant for.

I am not sure if they added that in before I quit D3 months prior to RoS but that was my only problem with it.

I enjoyed RoS on the 360. Taking a break from it since I intend to get it for the One at the end of the year.
