This game needs coop so hard

[Twim]

Please add it to game, it will be perfect

I agree, and we have several characters that could be repurposed as a "player 2" if they don't want to have two nameless cowboys, However two nameless cowboys might be cool too.

I feel like co-op would just make the suspense and fear of running into something like a Deathstalker and getting wrecked greatly diminished, personally. It's like System Shock 2 - a great game, but if you play it in co-op it loses pretty much all of its fear factor and general feel, and turns into some whacky run and gun (or whack) game. Though I guess nobody is forcing people to actually play in co-op mode, as long as the game didn't end up getting designed with co-op in mind anyway.

Would not say no to a secondary co-op game mode, like wave defence in iconic locations from the campaign, or indeed a series of smaller co-op missions with various objectives, though.

Why can't you do it already? I have a copy, you have one so, what's missing?
It's missing a server.

This is devOps work. They are a small studio of game devs, asking them to add coop is basically asking them to learn a new job or to hire someone for $120K at minimum just to add a mode for a few people in their $10 game...

I'm not trying to be a d!ck here. I'm just explaining that you're basically expecting someone to build you a trailer because... well, of course, he's a mechanic and that's how it works!

Devs can make 2 Deathstalkers, give them ranged attack, make triple their HP and give them oneshot attacks. That will give you emotions even better than in solo
Devs always can configure enemies and their ai to be a challenge for a cooperative play

So because someone asked for it, it can't be done because it's "hard" the Blood West team has actually done a good job at listening to the community, and filtering out suggestions they don't deem fit with the game.

You say "Not trying to be a d!ck here" but you're very much saying "Shut up, this opinion/suggestion is dumb, because it's hard to do, sit down and be quiet"

The Devs can very well just ignore this, or even say "sorry we have no plans for coop, it doesn't fit with what we envision Blood West to be" Are you the Dev team? have you been appointed to dictate what suggestions/ideas can and cannot be made?

No, this game isn't "perfect" for co-op.

Not all games require co-op.

That will be a blast, no doubt about it. However, I'm not sure if the current design would work for a co-op experience as it does for a single-player one. I can tell that there are possibilities on the table, but right now, it's hard to say if this kind of feature will be implemented. Only time will tell. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

That's irrelevant. I'll find a game that is 'designed' for co-op.

I've played a myriad of co-op games, as a QA (quality assurance) in some games, I can personally say there 'two factors' for high-wanting of co-op: replayability, and popularity. For example, Don't Starve was originally single player, due its overwhelming popularity, it now has multiplayer (as a standalone). Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, it's not worth the time and resources.

In the end of the day, you're the developer.

I've been doing that with a lot of games recently for different reasons, I'm just waiting for the day they refuse to refund me hence me asking in advance.

Don't force developers to tack-on co-op.

Go play those then.

Im not asking you what to do, I said what I want and will hope devs will do that.
