Co-op games

[Anonymous No.1462943]

As hard as I try I can't find any good source on this.

Let's make a thread to all of the /vr/ related games out there that are co-op. All of those games where you may have not even known you could multi-play them.

For me, FF6 will always be a special memory because I played through that whole thing with my Dad when I thought he didn't even like video games to begin with.

ff6 co-op? when was that two player ? What game is in the bottom screen shot? Why is this post creating questions not discussion?

[Anonymous No.1462968]

>>1462959
Both FF6 and FF4 are two player. Its not well known because its not all that amazing; both controllers control the same cursor. But it does say 2 players on the box.

Dear lord. the bottom is FF9, the top is FF6 (FF3 in Japan iirc). they both have co-op options when you go into the menu and you can assign controllers to certain people but only in battle.

>That feel when my dad always let me be Locke because he was my favourite
>Beat the game as Locke, Terra, Sabin, Gau
>My dad was Sabin and Locke because little me wanted him to do it

Less questions more co-op stories you faggots

I've heard it called 3 a fair amount of times. I guess I always assumed it was the number used elsewhere, because the FF3 I knew of was the one where you start as O knights and had the job change system.

Doesn't change the fact that it's FF6 nigga.

I consider secret of mana to be unplayable solo, It's actually one of my favourites with friends.

>>1462943
I dont know if /vr/ cares about old vehicle-military games but I loved this one as a kid. The second controller can control the gun and switch weapons etc. Its actually fairly useful because the gun has free range of motion making the games controls a bit complex for player 1.

underage b& detected. I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and say your just a try-hard weeb, but your with lack of Final Fantasy knowledge it's obvious you know of FF3 from the DS port.

If you enjoy co-op you should look for games on the sega megadrive.

Also: secret of mana

Just to split hairs the DS port doesn't start you as Onion Knights, I think you start as Adventurers or somesuch, making it unlikely for that to be his first exposure to III.

Also Gunstar Heroes is some of the best co-op fun I've had on console.

reminds me of one of my favourite co-op experiences. When i was younger and the FFV translation patch was released, we would sneak out of bed at night and play the game until morning, for many nights in a row. Not sure how I didn't fall asleep at school.

Sonic 2! But no one appreciates the co-op.

Not /vr/ related but I finished Dragon Quest IX with my bros in real life, clocked at 80 hours of playing, basically we would wake up and play until bed for a week straight.

Did this with another of my friend playing Tales of Symphonia, good times~

[Anonymous No.1464718]

>>1464698
Did the same with 3 more bros with Tales of Eternia, take notes OP, Tales games are the best co-op RPG you can get.

[Anonymous No.1464719]

FF6 holds a special place in my heart too but not with my dad, the coolest thing i saw him do though probably was punt a soccer ball 50 yards like a goalie or any semi-pro long-range soccer player could.. was pretty epic i was 6 years old and all my friends were watching.

but before you get there i know nice story bros

[Anonymous No.1464727]

>>1462943
Tales of Eternia/Destiny II has pretty decent co-op, allowing for one to three additional players to join in and play as the other three party members. Helps that the game plays pretty fluidly too, given that it's only the third original title in the series. Only real negative is the that co-op camera can kind of hamper playing with more than 2-3 people, since it focuses on where player one is (works well enough if the players are all playing melee range inclined characters, since player two can generally follow player one's lead if both are playing as, say, Reid and Farah.

Actually rather surprised at how well the game still holds up.

>>1464698
Love me some Tales co-op. Managed to play Eternia, Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, Graces, and Xillia with a friend thus far, been fun every time. Kind of sad that besides that series (and the Mana series too, I suppose) it's a bit hard to find JRPGs with decent co-op.

[Anonymous No.1464735]

>>1464718
I've found myself wondering if the ability to co-op the Tales games was intentionally put in the early games, or if someone on the team may have snuck the option for it in and it worked well enough to stick to the point that every console entry (aside from Legendia) has allowed for it since. Either way I'm grateful for it.

The battle system is a ton of fun, it's not slow and clunky as the old games. Graphics are still charming....

Very good game. I wish the PS disc wasn't so expensive.

Guess so, SNES Phantasia co-op seems like it was rushed, Chester not having skills and only one melee character but it was all improved at the PS1 remake.

[Anonymous No.1464771]

>>1464739
I actually picked up a copy of my own a year or two back. Between the game holding up pretty damn well, loving the series in general, it being a lot of fun, and having co-op, I don't regret dropping the money on it. Helps it was complete and it great shape too.

Probably would be more available if Namco had given it decent marketing (a trend they would keep for most of the series, barring Symphonia which had its marketing done by Nintendo).

I think this is the only RPG I know where the only way to unlock multiplayer is by inputing a code:

>Two player mode:
>Press Z to display the weapon menu. Hold X and press L. A second Leon that is usable by controller two will be added when both buttons are released. Entering the code again will return the game to single player mode.

It's an action-RPG, a sequel to Beyond Oasis (Genesis), and you can play the whole game with a friend. It's really fucking fun, but not that popular.

Come on /vr/. You're better than this. This game is amazing since it's designed with Co-Op in mind rather than just tossing in a second player.

Hell, there were co-op exclusive levels on top of the character specific ones. This game had tons of replayability.

this game is super fun on its own let alone co-op, which was nice with two fighters, or someone who could make sure the mages wouldn't eat as many spells.

Gunstar Heroes is the greatest co-op game ever.

Holy fuck, me and my friends put hundreds of hours into it, I remember when we were finally gud enough to get through hard mode without losing a life.

The only problem is I can no longer enjoy playing the by myself. And I don't have friends anymore ;_;

Just played this yesterday for the first time.

Cool as fuck.

beautiful scaling sprite, eh music, and fun co-op gameplay.
One person controls the ships motion and main gun, the other controls a weapons tracking system and powerful sub-weapons. Missiles, bombs, etc.

A LOT of fun and the co-op atmosphere is really heavy. You feel very dependent on each other.

I used to spend too much money with my dad in the arcades because of this game. We played for a good while, while my stepmom watched us play and shouted at stuff she thought we hadn't seen.

The only flaw in this was you couldn't play a level on co-op without doing it first in Single-player.

On the plus side it's so far the only game I've seen with Counter-op (Player 1 is Joanna, Player 2 is every guard in the level)
Sounds unfair but Player 2 cannot pick his spawn point, has limited ammo, about 10% HP and limited to 1 gun and a suicide pill

off the top of my head for the SNES theres Wild Guns, King of Dragons, Goof Troop, Strike Gunner STG, Kirby super star, kirby dream land 3, The Blues Brothers, all of the bomberman games, Contra 3, final fight 1,2, and 3, mystical ninja, joe and mac 1, and 2, Pieces, pocky and rocky 1 and 2, Smash TV, Teenage mutant ninja turtles 4, and Zombies ate my neighbors

Heard Seiken Densetsu 3 was good so played, so my friend and I decided to play Secret of Mana and then Seiken afterwards. Hated the living shit out of Secret of Mana. We were amused at how horribly designed and obnoxious it was, so we eventually got through it after at least a year.

Shortly after, we started playing Seiken, and we've been playing it on and off for three years. It's better than SoM, but still not great. We spend most of the time aimlessly wandering around, and when we find what we have to do we end up in a boss fight that takes 30 minutes. We are near the end of the game now

[Anonymous No.1467843]

>>1467835
I disliked SD3 because of how short it is. It can be beaten, start to finish, in about three or four hours. Very short. SoM is a much longer game, but SD3 is more immersive and interesting to me. I find it a tad odd that you disliked them both, but to each their own. What co-op games or sorts of co-op games do you like, then?

[Anonymous No.1467859]

>>1467843
I like JRPG's so I imagine I'd really enjoy one of those Final Fantasy games co-op with someone else who's into it. Aside from that old Beatemups like Turtles in Time have been fun, and not /vr/ but I played through all of New Super Mario Bros Wii with a girlfriend once and had a lot of fun with that. Also, Goemon's Great Adventure.

Those two Mana games were just so tedious and gave you no direction. I've spent so much time in Seiken flying around the map trying to find a place to land, unsure of whether or not I had even beat the place I'm trying to go to. You're given no guidance in how to level your characters, and the random battles can be totally unpredictable.

Secret of Mana was just a terribly made pile of shit. I'm convinced that 100% of people who like that game are blinded by nostalgia goggles. Nobody in their right mind could play it for their first time and put it on the same level as Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger.

I've not played either in years, but I clearly remember 11-year old me never having any problems with where to go in SoM and 18-year old me was routing around in the code of SD3 just at the time of its fan-trans release.

I didn't find either particularly tedious and I have no idea what you're talking about with "random battles" in SD3. There are none. Enemies appear on-screen where they always appear and you can just walk right past them. And I really, really disliked CT.
I played CT on its first release. Beat it in a week. Maxed out all characters and even the walk counter another seven days after that. Got every item, compiled my own steal-guide and FAQ and all that stuff (like I did with most games I played) and still was not overly fond of the game. For a game with back and forth through time and all that, it's pretty fucking linear, the battles were boring, the story line had no true villain (fighting Lavos is more like fighting an inevitable catastrophe... like an earthquake or a tsunami and its motivation isn't villainous at all: it's part of its survival, no different than any other hetereotroph eating other things) and the whole game just felt flat to me. I much preferred SoM to CT.
I like FFIII/VI, though.
