Online multiplayer is a gaming staple, but not every big title lets people play together at home. Games like 'Baldur's Gate 3' and 'Diablo 4' are reinvigorating the genre.

It’s almost like the pursuit of realistic graphics hamstrings games by making actual fun, useful features like couch co-op impractical

No argument here

It’s also that you’re rarely going to want to spend that much development time on a feature that only works on one platform out of 2-4.

Add multi-monitor support to consoles!

There’s only one HDMI port on a PS5, so until that changes…(also, don’t hold your breath).

Rules:

  • 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
