Topic: best co-op game of all time (Forum poll)

House of the Dead, Virtua Cop, Lethal Enforcers, Resident evil Chronicles

Contra- pioneer in Co-op but never gets old.
Biker Mice from Mars- This can also be Co-op. Remember my bro or me waited at one place to take down the 1st placed com.

Ooo really tough decision but I'm going to go:

1-Rocket League (PS4)
2-Diablo 3 ROS (PS4)

Honourable mentions for Crash Team Racing, Crash Bash, Bishi Bashi, Borderlands Handsome Collection and THPS2...and maybe Athens for PS2?

Here are a few that come to mind:

• Streets of Rage 2
• Portal 2
• Gunstar Heroes
• Rayman Legends/Origins
• Dungeon of the Endless
• Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect

@mrobinson91 @DJ77 @Shillll @sub12 @BAMozzy @iDangerMouse_ thanks for voting!

@Churchy @DualWielding please pick the 2 co-op games you think are the best than I can add your vote.

and remember all, 20 january you can vote for 2 other games that are already in the list and you haven't voted for yet!

Surely some of these are not co-op but PvP - Certainly the Mario Kart games were and isn't Rocket League and Halo as well?

@BAMozzy: Not sure about Halo but Rocket League you can play on the same team against CPU opponents Mario Kart you might be right. I think people are confusing co-op with Multiplayer (including myself) which given their definitions are not the same thing (I know I checked Yesterday).

Co-op is games where you are working together towards a goal together some examples would be — Contra, Streets of Rage, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country

While multiplayer your against each other some examples are — Mario Kart, GoldenEye, Street Fighter II

However some games have elements of both depending on the mode you play some examples of those are — Black Ops III, Madden Games, World of Warcraft

So yeah not sure what type of game the Op was going at but it seems we have a bit of confusion.

1) COD World at War Zombies (DLC included)
2) Star Wars Battlefront 2

@BAMozzy @tasuki tommorrow I will check all the games on the list so far and cross the not actual co-op ones away and notificate the people who choose them so pick another one.
I wasn't paying much attention to my own rule, I clearly stated that the co-op game cannot be competitive unless the gamemode is meant for co-op like cod zombies. I'm a bit tired so that's why I haven't paid much attention. Bit lousy of me.

@darkswabber: It does seem that a few are very much MP games. Its why I specifically mentioned the co-op part of the games I nominated as both do also have an MP component.

@Tasuki I still consider Rocket League to be a MP even if it has an option to play against AI. Isn't that the same principal as something like CoD's MP Combat Training? Its based off the PvP. Its very different from something like Destiny's Raids or CoD's Zombies. Black Ops 3 has a co-op campaign and zombies. Its MP, I know can be played with friend(s) to complete an objective (like capture the flag) BUT its against other players. whether they are human or AI is irrelevant. The AI are simulating other human players - either for training, practice or to be able to play offline - but the point is its to simulate the PvP experience - hence I think Rocket League is PvP only. I don't know much about WoW or Madden myself but I would think Madden, like Fifa is a MP game and I don't know if WoW is 'strictly' co-op or you choose to play co-operatively with others but they (or others) could attack you - in which case I wouldn't consider it to be co-op. In games like Destiny, CoD etc, the co-op portion differs from MP and never allows others to play as the 'enemies' or compete directly against you.

WoW is much like Destiny, yeah there is a PvP are that you can do bUT the main bulk of the game is co-op. However I know people who would just play PvP in WoW and nothing more.

Madden can be considered either or as well cause if you and a buddy play on television same team it's co-op.

Again it's up to the op and we will have to see what his/her definition of co-op is and what games are eligible.

Mario Kart Double Dash is coop you are in the same car.

filtered the non-co-op/competetive games out of the list

@tasuki golden eye and mario kart 8 don't have a co-op specific game mode, please pick 2 other titles
@idangermouse_ mario kart wii and rocket league don't have a co-op specific game mode, please pick 2 other titles
@mrobinson91 rocket league doesn't have a co-op specific game mode, please pick another title

as for all the other games, they all seem to have co-op experiences. @themcnoisy mario kart double dash indeed has co-op so it's the only mario kart to stay in the list

@Patinator thanks for voting

If you're not sure if a game is truly co-op then I recommend co-optimus.com it has a full list of all co-op games across all platforms + a explenation what the co-op experience is in that game

1. Earth Defence Force 2017
2. Left 4 Dead

@darkswabber: I'll replace Rocket League with Borderlands 2 please

@Tasuki: Madden then, like Fifa, to me sounds very much more like its an MP game. The fact that you can play the exact same game and modes against human OR AI to me makes it a MP game. Its still simulating a PvP experience. A co-op game does NOT have any PvP option. You wouldn't class Call of Duty Multi-player component as co-op because you can play a 'combat training' mode with a 'friend' against AI. The AI is substituting for human opponents where as in a co-op mode, there is NO human opponents ever.
