Which one are you referring to:

• Synthetik 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1471410/SYNTHETIK_2/

I’m interested in the top down kind of style, I was expecting an FPS but this could be fun.

This was less than a year ago, constant disconnects. We soldiered through but the second mission in Halo 2 would consistently DC when starting the warthog phase

You recommended killing floor before L4D2? Interesting.

Wondering what the people on Lemmy think

Looking for stuff to play mostly with 2 players, but anything is fine.

I looked through https://store.steampowered.com/category/action_fps/?facets13268=6%3A1&flavor=contenthub_toprated (Shooters with tag "coop") but for some reason there's stuff like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress etc. in there, and while you can play those cooperatively, really they're competitive games.

Earth Defence Force. Basically, you are participating in a B-movie scenario, with UFOs, kaiju, giant ants, flamethrower clams, and winged frogs. It is quite a good time, and the higher difficulties require genuine skill and cooperation.

EDF 6 is the best in the series from a gameplay standpoint, but is far weaker than 4 or 5 when it comes to the level design + narrative. Still, the QOL pushes the game to the next level, especially if you got pals to tackle the missions. There many different weapons, not just in power, but also shot pattern, reload style, knockback, and so forth. Also, there WILL be hundreds of enemies on onscreen at any given moment. Each of the four classes have very distinct characteristics when it comes to loadout, mobility, and purpose, so you should be able to find a good match for yourself.

Hasn't someone already suggested L4D2? I only played the first and was pretty offended when they promptly released the second and expected me to pay for it. They did eventually turn around and give it away but IIRC it was under a year from release and they expected me to buy a whole other game.

I didn't say that the overall review is 'mostly negative', to be clear; I said that almost all of the (many) negative reviews that exist seem to be talking about the failure to live up to remnant 1.

Thanks for the detailed review; it's helpful to have a nice comparison between the two. I did enjoy Remnant 1 quite a bit. Would you say the DLC you played is worth buying even considering the generally mixed reviews?

Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Really fun to coop in either players' world to just line up shots and generally wreak havoc.

Helldivers 2 is pretty good. Surprisingly not toxic/salty for how big it is.

• Ready or Not
• Six Days in Fallujah
• Halo

Halo is an all time great and especially for co-op.

I take it you've never had the displeasure of being dropped into a PlayStation lobby? Lots of TKers and Kickers on PS. I don't get the same from Steam players.

Fuuuucking this.

It's Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.

I wish they didn't absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.

Yeah I loved Wildlands but couldn't get into Breakpoint. Glad I'm not alone, at least.

Your mileage may vary, but there's a bug on the PC version that causes a boss to regenerate health tied to the frame rate. It happened to a friend and me, and we watched it happen to two other friends. Higher frame rates cause it to regen faster. There's a way you can cheese the fight to get around this, but maybe the method would be a spoiler.

(Also, I thought this game was bad and not in an interesting way like its successor is, but once again, your mileage may vary.)

I can certainly understand not liking it. Besides it's offensive social takes, it's definitely not what a typical Resident Evil game is supposed to be. But a buddy and I spent years trying to find good coop game experiences and as far as games that actually sculpt and tend to the coop part as opposed to just throwing a coop mode in at the last moment, very few come anywhere close to the effort to put into this one. On harder difficulties it's actually a really interesting challenge that's not just about bullet sponges or grinding for better gear but about strategy and effective teamwork.
