"Frankly, the removal of bots and four player splitscreen from most shooters has dampened the funnest part of the genre for me, which is playing socially with real friends in one room talking trash and getting trashed. Sorry, but online just doesn't make up for that. "
That is the most factual comment this generation..... |
Split screen coop or playing a coop game with two consoles and TVs in the same room is better or about the same. People wouldn't complain so much if they tried it. Not to mention that you can play with real life friends online. I really don't understand why people don't get that.

You don't understand the difference between 1) friends coming over for a drink and ending up playing local multiplayer all night and 2) meeting up online and playing together without actually being together?

What did I not mention coop, plus if you have two consoles and two tvs you can play online in the same room. I have done it a plenty. Also people often switch off playing and watching while still socializing. So of course I understand the difference, now there are more options they just need to be tried.

Most people don't have 2 TVs and many people have friends that don't have their own gaming console to bring over.

Well it is not perfect, but I have had up to eight TVs an only two consoles in a room playing Halo 2 not too long ago. I have not tried it on Halo 3 or Reach, but it would be surprising if it was not there. You are right of course that most games lack split screen, but that is a far cry from saying that shooters are no longer social when the reality is the are more social due to more options in how to play.
