I'm betting the majority of us older gamers enjoy coop games with friends more than anything.

Yep. Even a bad game can be good when played coop.

I'm one of those that will check if a game is coop first before anything else. Games are just better with friends.

Edit and you're absolutely right, even a shit buggy game can have us rolling in laughter for hours.

Omg yes!!! My husband and I just want to play a long form rpg game together. No shooting, just wandering around together. Man I wish Skyrim had a console coop mode. Sigh.

The best times were hanging out with your friends playing games together. Now if I want to do that I’ve got to have a whole nother setup. Wtf.

Console coop is tough, if you ever get into PC gaming. There is a lot more coop games available, even Skyrim has a coop mod, which works pretty well now.

Really? Need to look into that

The same team(dev) is also building fallout together for fallout 4

Agreed. Single player games have to be exceptionally good for me to want to play them. Besides that, it's coop only for me.
