[@combatwombat2134]

You know, this reinforces something I've been thinking of and discussing with my friends over the last few days. Recently, PSN released Sniper Elite 4 as it's free game of the month. A franchise I've on and off enjoyed for a few years since I played the first. I was honestly completely unaware that it had any sort of co-op at all, having never thought of looking at it through that prism, thinking it more a semi-stealth sniping "simulator". My word was I happy to discover a co-op that reminded me so much of the happy-go-lucky drop-in/drop-out shenanigans presented to us by the likes of Halo. My friends and I have been having a blast with both it's competitive multiplayer and it's co-op offerings, an absolute delight. Short, sweet and as intricate as you want to make it. This leads me to what we've been discussing over the last few days: There are very few games that shouldn't have co-op. If I want to play with a friend or three, we should be able too. I can't think of many games that wouldn't be better without it, but even then, just retain the option to not do go into it in co-op. Most games are just fun when you can slog it out with a friend. Now, this leads me to my next point. Co-op that isn't intrinsically linked to it being a core gaming concept. There are games where co-op is absolutely required, and they often work well, but for this blanket addition of co-op across games, it'd have to be very smooth drop-in/drop-out, no requirements to have both. Again, looking back at Halo 3, just having friends appear and then chortling along as we both went and ransacked Grunt parties. There are games released that I can't for the life of me understand why co-op wasn't included, such as Just Cause 4 (though having it played it on a PS4, I suspect framerate drops were the reason). When games with it usually go so goddamn great, who hasn't liked going on Dark Souls with their friends? I want to play Metro Exodus' new open world maps with chums, it'd be great! This is a prime example of a game that took it's co-op too far and didn't allow it to be a smooth transition between playing it on your own and having a friend drop by.

@@violentbeetle2441 My toughs. Who got excited for the budget, multiplayer focused, assets recycling, electric boogaloo?!

[@lolaluvv]

This game got SO fucking close to amazing. The pitch must've been like discovering all too late that you've mistaken your industrial meat smoker for a recliner. "Alright! I'd say it's about time we made another Wolfenstein game!" "Capital idea, Paul! Now, have we got any ideas as to where we should head the franchise?" "How about a high-energy new installment set in the 1980s with a retro-nostalgia 80's aesthetic?" "That cow is still yet to be milked dry! How about new characters for this thrill-ride?" "How about the player character controls BJ Blaskowicz's daughters?" "A unique change in storytelling pace could make for an interesting departure from the usual affair! After all, the series hasn't strayed much from utilizing the big man himself, and some new protagonists could make for just the change we need! Ooh, what if you had separate types of missions for each daughter, perhaps revisiting past locations with a different skillset later on could make for some nice keyhunting/secret finding?" "Nonono, see that's the best part! We make the game co-op multiplayer, so that immersion is nearly impossible, what with your mate talking in your ear the whole time as you play, and if you try to play it solo, we staple a dysfunctional computer to the player's ass!" "So you're saying we should sacrifice our story-based singleplayer shooter for a messy and incomplete co-op disaster while wasting several great design ideas in the process?" "Precisely!" "Hmm."

Bethesda’s really digging themselves deep into a hole ey?

[@lagunax5645]

5:13 Killing Hitler over and over actually would be a great premise. Act 1: You are dimension-hopping between timelines where the Nazis win, killing Hitler repeatedly Act 2: One of the Hitlers gets the drop on you, steals your dimension-hopper technology, leading to a pile of dead Churchills, Stalins, and Roosevelts over various timelines Act 3: You hop through time and recruit a bunch of lolrandum historical figures to fight the interdimentional blitzkrieg, leading to a final fight with about twenty Hitlers who've used super-science to merge into a multi-headed behemoth. Wolfenstein could do this any time, but they're too busy trying to explain (via caricature) why nazis are bad out of some misguided effort to justify video game violence.

[@anotherpersonfromnorfolk1587]

God dammit I can't wait until Doom Eternal comes out

[@Ashurman666]

Yes, let's see how Bethesda fucks THAT one up. Cause they will, oh they will

[@anotherpersonfromnorfolk1587]

Yeah guess I've got hype disease too I guess. But they did the last Doom game right so maybe they might have opened their eyes and disabled their prick genes for a moment and have done right again

[@mjc0961]

I can. Bethesda will fuck it up with a mandatory sign in for one.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

@@Ashurman666 Bethesda aren't developing any of these games, Youngblood and New Colossus are bad because Machine Games switched to a new devteam which are shit. Doom 4 was developed by mostly the same people as those who made Rage, and Doom Eternal is being developed by those people as well, there's no signs of Bethesda doing any development on with Doom, and there's nothing to indicate they're meddling with it either. The Switch ports of Doom and Doom 2 were shit and had completely pointless DRM and some terms of service bullshit, in spite of lacking online multiplayer, but those ports weren't developed by Bethesda, they were made by Nerve Software, the people who ported Doom 3 was Panic Button, and they did a perfectly good job. Fallout 76 was however partially developed by Bethesda.

[@Ashurman666]

@One Doomed Spacemarine But they are all PUBLISHED by Bethesda. And you know how bad publisher meddling is

[@xplain3897]

This man is awesome. He keeps the games industry alive and competitive almost solo!

[@abdelarch8038]

"0 adversity" You're wrong there Yahtzee. Boredom while you deal with infinitely spawning bullet sponges appearing in places you just cleared out, and Witcher style awkwardness when you pick up the wrong type of fork for the dish in front of you at the moment.

[@horus7307]

Witcher at least did not have limited sword ammo and enemies that had minuscule tattoo on their ass that told me if I can dare to damage them or not. But you're right I hate that Division style gameplay.

[@addisondeweese2646]

The hedgehog bit at the end was awesome c:

[@Sigilstone17]

Bethesda REALLY needs to step up their QA at all levels

[@putinpunhere]

4:49 good times, thanks Yahtz! 5:16 Sanic!

[@MegaManXPoweredUp]

Wait a minute...how does Yahtzee play games without fingers?

[@BJWeNeedUDefendingUsWithZeMG42]

Asking the real questions!

It's been a while since he gave this much of a beating.

[@Montesama314]

Show of hands: who else saw this garbage coming, after Bethesda released the grift that was called Fallout 76?

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

I saw it coming because the symptoms were already on The New Colossus

[@TheP3NGU1N]

And this is why ID Soft should never give up it's IPs.

[@darthelevader5873]

Huh so valve might have the right idea not making a third game in a series if this is what happens

[@retrogamelover2012]

Well, the 3rd instalment in anything has always been a hit-or-miss type of ordeal, so I think it's really not much that's new here.

[@Guymanbot97]

@@BuriedFlame But Gordon doesn't die though. He just gets sent further in the future and realizes yeah nothing matters. Also Alyx became a bitch.

[@night_city_nights]

Resident Evil 3, Metal Gear Solid 3, Devil May Cry 3, God of War 3, GTA3, and Max Payne 3 would like a word with you. But in your defense, yeah sometimes the third installment can be disappointing or shit depending on the series.

[@asdg199]

5:19 BJ Blazkowitz is either going to have the worst or best day with that porcupine.

[@fumarc4501]

BJ didn’t need a super suit until he couldn’t walk... what’s their excuse?

[@xelldincht8149]

the opening of this video about single player games was so on point. I am sick that the gaming industry tries to make everything a multiplayer game now

[@Rebelphoenix]

What's wrong with Samurai Jack??

[@atomicpunch1990]

Benjamin RebelPhoenix That’s what I said

[@Gr0tAsk]

nothing, he said that the kid gets distracted to think about samurai jack, meaning that publishers feart that if your product is not flashy enough to keep the uneblae-to-concentrate kids, they will eventually turn to other media products

[@audellaroque4730]

Benjamin RebelPhoenix he didn’t say anything was wrong with it lol

[@Shmover34]

These get better every week

[@Alastorchaos]

Leave Samurai Jack out of this... Please?
