I seem to remember liking Resistance: Fall of Man, but it isn’t something you’ll play over and over. But the couch co-op story mode was fun to play with my partner back in 2007 or so.

A Way Out was fun recently for couch co-op story as well, but I’m not sure if that is the type of shooter you are looking for. I had never played a game like it before, was pretty cool.

Halo Reach, baby. That’s the king.

_hovi_,

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

TachyonTele,

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

_hovi_,

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

TachyonTele,

That’s sucks man. Sorry it didn’t work for you guys.

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

TheMetaleek,

Seconding ready or not, had an absolute blast with it, both solo and coop !

Play Halo 1 on easy, no shooting allowed, only melee, and speed run it.

PhobosAnomaly, do gaming w That fucking helicopter level

Misty in Pokémon Blue

It’d be easily fixed with a new save, a more balanced approach, and four hours… but fuck that, I’ve spent two summers grinding to beat her but nope

roguetrick, (edited )

Just go catch a Pikachu. Won’t take 4 hours. A pickachu from viridian leveled against Mt Moon zubats for 10-30 minutes would wipe the floor with the whole gym.

PhobosAnomaly,

Magic. I’ll give that a punt this summer! Thank you!

ray,

That’s not a bad plan, but it will require a new save. Once you enter Cerulean City, all the ways back to Viridian are blocked until after you beat Misty.

If you want to beat Misty without starting a new save, your best bet is probably to go north of Nugget Bridge and catch a Bellsprout. That should be about as effective as a Pikachu against Misty. If anything it might even be slightly better. Grass and Electric attacks are both 2x against Water types, but Water attacks are ½x against Grass types and 1x against Electric types.

roguetrick, (edited )

I forgot Bellsprout had vine whip early and you couldn’t go back. Oddish on red with absorb by comparison is a monumental pain in the ass. Absorb sucks. At least Pikachu is fast with thunderwave and can help you catch an Abra for your I win button.

PhobosAnomaly,
roguetrick,

1 health, but ya made it.

PhobosAnomaly,

I was golden. I even had the Bellsprout ready to go. The targetted levelling of that and the Pikachu made short work of Misty.

I’m not a Pokémon expert - my introduction was Pokémon Go - and I’ve soon learned that type effectiveness outweighs brute force and ignorance!

Landless2029,

This is why I roll bulbasaur.

Wipe both Brock and misty out.

Zero22xx, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 25th

Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.

Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.

Andonyx, do games w What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems?

If you can get past its extremely questionable social issues, I’ve never played a co-op combat game as well designed and implemented as resident evil 5. It forces you to work together in a variety of challenges and unexpected ways. It keeps you both focused on mutual goals. And if you don’t work together with situational awareness and effective communication, you will not succeed. I really wish it sold better because I’ve never seen a company since put as much effort into co-op design except maybe the “it takes two” and “a way out” guy. But those aren’t shooters.

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.)

Andonyx,

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.

I guess I just don’t see what it offered that Gears of War didn’t, and I thought Gears was much better.

LaserTurboShark69, do games w What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems?

Roboquest is one of my fave co-op experiences in recent years

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Some of the best co-op I ever played was in Rainbow Six 3, but I played with 7 players, and I don’t remember if it will let you mix and match humans with bots on your squad. You’ll need a gaming VPN to play co-op, also, since the servers are gone.

Halo is always a good time, as is Gears of War, and it kind of sucks that outside of Borderlands, these are the most recent recommendations I can come up with, but this genre has been left to rot in live service hell.

So, you’re essentially looking for games like Borderlands, do you want more RPG in it or less?

Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2 are the ones I play. Usually at 2 players.

@InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world avatar

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

archonet,

In-game everyone is usually wonderful.

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

InternetCitizen2,
@InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world avatar

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

archonet,

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.

RightHandOfIkaros,

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.
