10 CO-OP Gamer Problems That Suck

Coincidentally my two best co-op partners might've been my mom and grandma in Streets of Rage 2 and Turtles in Time respectively and those were the only games they ever played. They always checked in for food items, checked for a clear path for throws and called for help/assisted accordingly. All of my friends growing up in one form or another were a menace. I think the last memorable couch co-op experience was Shaolin Monks with my little brother and I almost ripped my hair out. Granted I've played games with him when he was older like Bro Force and Guacamelee but MK really made me think back to when I had good tag partners

[@cupantae1893]

On the note of number 8, my dad was in the military and it made co-op much WORSE with him because he'd forget that he's trying to pull off a Spec Ops mission with a child 🤣 We only managed to eventually get all the original MW2 stars about a decade later! Quicker reflexes and gaining more confidence in my skills and pitching led to a lot more teamwork and success than just following orders in the past lol

[@taoofjester4113]

This. I went to Arcades with my Dad when I was a kid. There was a helicopter game that we played that was really cool at the time. You sat down in it, had some of a helicopters actual controls. He was an apache pilot and played the game like he would if he was actually flying. He would stop, look at the map, orient himself, look at where the enemies are and plan out an attack. Whereas I am doing zoomies all over the map, shooting shit and launching missiles.

[@raka1996]

Yeah, it's an actual challenge to get some non-gamer play coop with you, this taught me to actually get a game that is not so reflex demanding and has few/simple controls, Portal is a great series for non-gamer, also to show them how good a puzzle game can be where they can take it slow, plan things out, then execute But other than that, every other coop game feels like a jump in difficulty after playing Portal with them

Been a fan of Gameranx for years but nothing hit quite so close to home as this vid. Thank you, Falcon and GR team for this well-thought-out out-of-the-box and heartfelt points about co-op. This is why I watch you guys regularly. Your passion for co-op and gaming can be felt! Cheers. One last thing, friendly-fire should ALWAYS be an option, not something that can't be turned off, especially for passionately hardcore co-op gamers. Wifey and I became involved due to our shared love for co-op, so I definitely wish developers put more emphasis in co-op gaming. Speaking probably naively here, but I think majority of games should include full co-op campaigns whether it breaks immersion or not, 'cause there is a huge community of co-op gamers such as myself who would love to explore huge, immersive open worlds for example with a co-op partner rather than compete or play single player. Those who don't like co-op can just choose the single player option. I just don't get why they don't.

No. 3 is why I don't play much co-op games anymore. I am one of those people who likes to take my time, explore, talk to npcs, etc. Whether it is with friends, family, or random, I always feel a bit rushed by others and would just rather experience the game at my own pace.

Because I hosted the co-op sessions in Rainbow Six Vegas, my friend never got to see the ridiculous ragdoll physics or fire effects of incendiary grenades that I got to witness.

04:00 #8 Try this with the recent free game "We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip" by developer "Total Mayhem Games". You can only play this game in COOP and communication is the key. While playing with friends it's fine but giving the option of cross-play, with randoms and switching servers is just idiotic by the developers if half the country does: A - not have a headset to continue. B - does not speak the language English in 2023 properly to explain symbols etc., in order to solve puzzles and move forward. Uninstalled the game for the above reasons after a few hours.

Teaching a non gamer is, enlightening. I have been trying to play It Takes Two with my wife who only plays Sims and City Skylines. It is REALLY tough goings. Working the dual sticks for movement and camera control does not come natural to her. Also the timing for certain actions like jumping to moving platforms or avoiding obstacles is an insurmountable task at times. I take these basic skills for granted 😂

[@DroosterH]

I remember when Sony introduced the dual stick pad and we all looked at it like it was alien. On that subject, an Alien game was one of the first to utilise the dual sticks in the way we use them to this day.

[@Boney4000]

@@DroosterH although I was of age, I missed the PS1 era because my parents weren't gonna spend money on that. I was able to move to the new gen during the PS2 era so I picked up the dual sticks naturally and never thought anything else about it. Watching someone try it for the first time makes me realize the level of dexterity it takes, that it's a different type of hand eye coordination that isn't as intuitive to the general public as a gamer would think. Good thing I'm patient otherwise I would probably lose my marriage to a PS5 game 😂

About quarterbacking, if im the one that is calling the plays, there some things i dont mention either because it should be self-explanatory by the point of our progress or im letting the person/people learn from first hand experience which i find is the best way to learn mechanics of encounters. I usually just give vauge descriptions of what to watch for like when adds spawn in that need to be taken care of but i wont say from where and what kind of enemies.

[@dankforest]

We had a rule that you cant halt progress untill we hit town. That means no weapon swapping, or leveling bs. If everyone agrees you can all warp anytime. But that made things WAY more streamlined. Also gave evryone a chance to take a break without bs. Most games have a menu or a town that has no attack stuff so it works across the board.

[@AwesomeCREEPER77]

The most fun is when you're watching both your quarterbacking friends playing together. Hours of spectating fun

I struggle with COOP games with so much loot/inventory management. It’s such a pain when you have limited time and any session has 30 mins of setting up equipment, or a mission, or just trying to get the other player to join in general. Then you do one mission and it’s “my inventory is full, I need to go back to my bank and unload” again

We had a rule growing up that there was no backseat gaming allowed unless you were specifically asked for help.

Why won't you listen!? Go _left_ but not _that_ way...you're doing it wrong!" Better to just figure it out yourself if people won't take the time to learn how to provide clearer instructions.

Doing the raids in Ghost of Tsushima Legends. When each player has to do certain actions or jump to the correctly colored points but the other players cannot see the colors so have to instruct them or you have to stand on a specific point and shoot the other players to unfreeze them in a bubble trap. Man that game is a player quitfest! It requires all four players to complete it too. Me and my brother ended up getting a hardcore player who learned how to use loopholes to allow him to guide us through in three player mode. Things like using bomb jumps etc to get across ravines.

One of the worst things is boosting online trophies who demands a lot of players. If you try to do it legit, you will either take an eternity or give up.

[@malkaviian]

The best thing about coop when you have experience in the game and your coop buddy don’t is trolling, I recently made my friend play Dark Souls 3, I have at least 1000 hours on it, know every enemy placement, every chest, every item placement etc… so, you know… watching his reaction when he opened a chest and it turns out to be a Mimic was priceless, after this he AWAYS hit the chest first before opening, and became suspicious of everything I made him do while I stayed back and watched, saying “No, I won’t go there, why don’t you do it?” I'm so proud of him

And so everyone gets to spend hours walking back and forth to the shop.

A 14 year old game, yet he insists on YELLING at everybody to play the game exactly the same way every time. If you break "His Server = His rules" He will rage quit and start a new server. It's an online game. Some people will Speed Run. Some people hate stealth and deliberately trigger the horde. That the fun part. I refuse to play L4D with that guy anymore. He is too rude.

Number 3 is super subjective. I understand the frustration of waiting on the person who takes forever in the vendor menu when the team is ready to move on, but at the same time with crafting being so common now, I hate the "pro" who just wants to run through a quest when I need to loot these containers.

[@Gamer88334]

I’ve encountered #3 a few times. Those people are their own worst enemy, especially in games like Left 4 Dead or World War Z. Slow down, take your time but don’t take too long. Never do anything that’ll get you separated from your team, you’ll most likely either die or take a lot of damage. Your teammates won’t be able to save you if you’re on the other side of the map, so stick with them instead of shopping for too long or rushing ahead.

#5 - Old school arcade Gauntlet or Gauntlet II. You elves out there know who you are!

“Elf shot the food.” “Oops, sorry.” Good times.

Random little note in the video. All of my buddies in the marines and army are the woooorst at communicating in a co-op game. Instead of communicating it's usually "Shut up so i can focus"

Best way to play Co-op with a non-gamer is to have them take to the other team and watch the chaos insue.

I really felt this... I am absolutely the 'leader' but I only help when it's asked... but then the person says "oh but you can just do this and skip it" and I have to point out "we aren't playing the game just to skip the game?!?!" Another one is playing games with someone who doesn't care about the game... you're doing a puzzle and they just say 'this is really stupid and boring' because they can't figure out the puzzle as quick as you... really annoying.... ... i am the 'explorer' type, I enjoy moving around and messing with the game itself, unless i'm on another persons save, then i'm just rushing xD I generally take my time w/ my own story though, i.e. playing Borderlands 2 with some buddies atm and they just want to rush the game.
