    I know this game was designed to be a co-op experience, but I have to be honest I'd rather just play it single player. I suppose the co-op will be interesting/fun after I beat the game and whatnot, for added variety, but for now whenever the game announces "player" has joined your game I just groan then scowl.

    You can switch it to 'solo' in the options and it wont bug you about that stuff.

    Isn't those things usually optional, and an option to turn off in the options?

    I only play co-op with friends or family, so whenever I am online and playing one of those games without someone I know I tend to turn my status on those games to private only etc. so no, never had that problem.

    You are completely in control of people being able to join your game or not. I'm just putting that out there.

    You have to do it from the main menu, can't do it while paused.

    You have to do it from the main screen when you load up your character. Not in-game.

    @The_Laughing_Man: Is it really? If you could pull a screenshot, that'd be priceless. I've been using this moniker off and on for about five years or so.

    Sounds like it could be. I just know there is a Chainsaw in the game.

    I got mad but not at the person, I got mad at the game every person that joined my game was in my 2nd play through. I would be level 34 and the person joined would be 4.
