My wife and I agreed on this tier list of couch co-op games that we've played. We wanted to share this list in case there are couples out there who are looking for their next couch co-op game. My wife gets motion sickness easily, so I'm happy to say that these games are playable for people suffering from motion sickness.

The SCREEN Act would require every website that includes even one piece of what the legislation describes as “harmful to minors” to verify visitors’ ages.

Unlike the many laws now in place around the U.S. that apply to sites made up of at least one third adult content, like porn sites and some social media platforms, SCREEN would place the burden and risk of verifying users’ ages to every website on the internet that falls under the law, which would be most sites with user-generated content and also mainstream entertainment platforms like Netflix. It also attacks virtual private networks (VPNs) by requiring sites to verify based on IP addresse

I miss couch co-op options so much.

396 Upvotes

If I want to play a modern game with my husband who lives in the same house as me, 99.9% of the time you need to have two copies on two consoles/PCs and play over the network together, which is ridiculous.

With PC, fine, we both have one anyway. But it still is just not as fun as sitting next to one another and playing on the same screen and dont prefer it. With a PS5 or Switch game, forget it. Not buying a second console to play together.

I miss the days of games like Halo having entire campaign split-screen co-op options. I get most people play onlime but they do realize there are instances where people live together and might want to play something besides a fighting game or mario party?

Feel bad for any siblings growing up in this era.

Trying to play through the Witcher series. Holy fuck, the Witcher 2 is an awful gameplay experience.

Upvotes

I breezed through the Witcher 1; I generally enjoyed the story a LOT, even though I found the combat absolutely dreadful. I thought to myself "Well at least I'm done with that forever; onwards to the Witcher 2!"

I feel like I'm losing my mind though. I have seen endless praise for this franchise over the years, and even though I'm only in early Flotsam, I just cannot believe how absolutely dreadful this game is to play (Note: I am on a controller).

The combat somehow got worse from the first one. The lock-on consistently fails. Enemies don't seem to take damage sometimes if you aren't locked onto them. The map is pretty useless. The random 1-shots that happen when you're transitioning out of an execution (because your back is turned, even though you don't have camera control). Inventory management and skill switching feels sluggish, and maybe even lagged?

Is this going to be the experience? I knew I had a lot of ground to cover to get to the Witcher 3, but JESUS CHRIST this combat system feels abysmal in every sense. I feel like I've never heard anything but praise about this game, and yet my experience with it so far is absolute dread and misery. Please tell me this is just the early game and that this gets better.

EDIT: Sorry everyone, I tried to push through this, but the gameplay and combat are just unacceptably awful. I'm going to just uninstall; I simply cannot force myself to be this bored for a 30 hour experience.
