Reply to comment by [deleted] in What game do you think is really hated but doesn’t deserve it? by Ordinary-Flounder675

The new one? It was bad at launch but it’s pretty good now. I just wish they had the arcade mode but with online. Still though the fact that it has split-screen is awesome. I actually bought Evil West thinking that the co-op aspect was split screen and I was pissed when I realized it was online co-op. I wanted a new game to play with my dad since we beat It Takes Two.

Co-op can be SO misleading in modern games, because that word encompasses 3 or 4 possible things.

*split screen/take turns on same computer/tv (see A Way Out.)

*Online co-op with friends (see Borderlands 2, Diablo 3, etc)

*Online required co-op with random players (see any COD/Battlefield game.)

*Single player with some optional co-op elements (see Elden Ring.)

Sometimes it's optional, sometimes it's required. We know what MMO means, and what single player means, but co-op is so all-purpose. I actually bought Darktide not realizing it required grouping with randos, assumed it would be like Vermintide.
