I kind of miss those two player adventure games that they used to make. I remember playing games like Contra, Double Dragon, and Jackal. They were always fun to play with my brother or my friends. Am I the only one who wishes they'd revive that genre?
Basically... Rift is the mmo to play at the moment, but lacks voice chat. Within my months playing the game, I can honestly say I never witnessed any racially charged hate or anything. Mmo servers are usually moderated with game managers, in the event trolls do come around. You can queue for dungeon squads, join guilds, and join public groups on the fly for adventuring. It's a friendly team/solo game if you like the rpg scene nothing will beat gaming with friends and family in the same room tho , but online gaming is a good alternative. Everyone I know outgrew gaming, so online shit is a godsend. I especially loved rainbow six 4 player campaign
Real talk. I don't think I'll ever get into online gaming unless it's a tournament or something. It should appeal to me, since I spend a lot of my free time online, but I'm very disinterested.
dunno why if anything online multiplayer in some cases expands on the whole 2-player thing. I used to be a guild leader for global agenda, that had 105 members at its peak and found it to be like a wet-dream. Most of us used voice chat, and would have briefings before ranked territory matches. Guys would talk shit, organize into fire teams, and i'd run through plans with them etc. During matches, we'd work together on tactics, shift from different points depending on what was needed and the such. The same stuff that you'd do with other people in your home, can be accomplished online. You just have to get comfortable with people, which is why forming or joining squads/guilds/clans is a cornerstone. When you talk and play with the same people over time, you become good gaming friends.
Yeah goldeneye was the truth it was the ultimate team game for it's time I loved how someone in the room ended up with the no skill scrub me and my cousin were thorough, but to make things fair we'd be on opposite teams
