In-game everyone is usually wonderful.

The official discord server, on the other hand... no. Just no.

I still like warframe, even though it has a few headaches in there that make it more annoying than it needs to be. I don't want to trade my ducat fodder or passive rep for slots and potatoes every time a new update comes out. But I do like dressing up my space dolls and blasting my trumna for hours on end

I only know about it because Ssethtzeentach made a video about it. Dude is the king of finding random games you've never heard of that are totally awesome. Kenshi, too.

For Karl!

Prodeus is a fun multiplayer DOOM-like with old school vibes

I've not joined their discord or other. Thanks for the heads up.

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.

I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2's community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai's videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn't, what should be done what shouldn't be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.

I'm not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I've played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.

Is there a possibility to play a campaign in online coop?

check out:

Ink Inside
On steam.

It's a couch co-op action RPG with ranged combat meets beat em up fights. Aesthetic is 2014 cartoon network, with a story based on a lost Nickelodeon pilot.
Voice cast is solid with Brian David Gilbert too.

If it sounds interesting, could definitley be up your alley!

yes it is. Stormlight archives is my favorite series.

Rainbow Six Vegas and Splinter Cell Blacklist and Chaos Theory were awesome for this - especially for 2 people.

If you have 4 then SWAT 4, Ready Or Not, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, ARMA 3.

Darktide is fire, it's a left 4 dead style game (horde shooter?). If you want 2d shooters, I really enjoyed Broforce and Huntdown (that one's a real gem)

Plus all the Halos before, yeah. Unfortunately online co-op on the master chief collection just would not function properly for me and a friend which was devastating

Killing floor 1/2, fps zombie horde killing.

Another doot for Remnant, really enjoyed the odd universe and two player coop.

Battlefront 2 multi player for mindless star wars pew pew fun.

I've heard that was an issue years ago, and fixed. We were able to play thru every game fine.

I'm not really sure EDF 6 is the best entry point to the series, as it's a direct sequel to EDF 5.
I think it will get really confusing story- and missionwise, more so than it already is.
EDF 5 was a soft reboot and is also a bit cheaper.

My friends and I really liked the WORLD BROTHERS 2 spinoff too, if someone is looking to play with a young player that might be a better starting point than the mainline games.
The rest of the series spinoffs have not really done it for us.

Which one are you referring to:

• Synthetik: Area (free to play): https://store.steampowered.com/app/984110/SYNTHETIK_Arena/
• Synthetik: Legion Rising: https://store.steampowered.com/app/528230/SYNTHETIK_Legion_Rising/
• 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.
