My GF and I would like to play a game together matching this criteria:
local, couch co-op for PC or PS3
third person (over the shoulder or isometric, doesn't matter, can be 2d as well) camera
preferably SINGLE SCREEN (no Split Screen)
preferably story driven, open ended, not linear and hack and slash-y
doesn't need to be fantasy setting, sci-fi or anthing else works great too
lots of loot and character customization if possible, not just basic crap
Something like Fable II's co-op would be excellent (although the camera was not that great), but I don't think it works without GfWL...
Do you guys have any suggestions? Older games come in mind as well. If you can't think of any, then suggest some split screen ones I guess. Can't wait to buy another PC so we can play Divinity: Original Sin... That's gonna be great!
Except Bastion introduced the idea of a story with a human narrator, and any deaths were explained as him getting confused with the tale: "no, wait, that's not how it happened..."
Prince of Persia Sands of Time did the exact same thing first 8 years before.
L.A. Noire I thought was great. Asking your partner for directions at intersections. Driver or Burnout Paradise had a thing where the turn signals were flashing before and where you were supposed to make a turn. Those are neat in-game ways to seamlessly show directions without taking away attention from the game.
The totally other side of that coin is to have a fuckin' map in your lap while you drive like in Far Cry 2. That never broke immersion for me, although driving like that was pretty terrible.
@astromarine: Thank you very much for mentioning it. I don't know German well enough to play the entire game in it, even if I did I wouldn't want to...
As a guy recently moved to Germany, I find all this very confusing, intimidating and awkward. I felt bad watching Wolfenstein trailers, and if I bought the game I would probably want to play it with headphones on so my neighbors don't hear it.
The only context to this censorship I understand is that I wouldn't want to play or hear of a game where it is glorified to kill and massacre a group of people of whom my grandfather was a part of, no matter how fucked up that group was. And I guess, here in Germany that's not that far fetched.
What if you buy the game on Steam in Germany but you want to play the English version? Is the dialog removed only in the German VO?
