This game is and should be permanently singleplayer

[SpectreNoodle]

Everyone here in the discussions trying to boycott the game for not adding a feature that won't change anything is ridiculous. This game is meant to be a singleplayer experience like the first one, I don't understand how this is such an issue among people wanting to buy this game. If you don't like what you're getting then LEAVE

Split Screen CO-OP, i want to play with my son, make Slime-ranch and exploring together.

I think there's nothing wrong with adding co-op. These types of games are very enjoyable and wholesome when you play them with friends. Although I agree that it shouldn't be a mandatory feature, the devs should take into account what the community is suggesting. It would be an optional mode for those who like to share the game experience.

I know there's nothing wrong with co-op, it's just that these games were never meant to be played in co-op. It makes no sense how people are trying to negatively advertise this game for not having it.

I've always found it weird how defensive some people get over multiplayer in particular. No one would think it sane to barge into an Overwatch forum and insist it be a single player game. I, myself, have played single player games I'd love to play in coop for years, but haven't ever thrown a fit over it. Pop it in the official suggestion threads? Sure. Try to cause a stink? No way.

Don't want to play something single player only? Don't. You do not have to justify it. We live in an age flush for video game choice and one of the great things about it is even some mild detail can disqualify a game and you can find another to replace it usually the same day. Who knows, maybe it will be added one day officially or via mods. Until then, enjoy your opinion, do not buy, pass go and collect your $200 monopoly money so we can all move on.

I don't know about the boycott. But I think I played SR1 with a friend....maybe twice?
I didn't really see the point of co-op once your pens and whatnot are up and running.

True, once pens are all done, things really take care of themselves, co-op would bring the fact that 2 different players could be off doing whatever they please, but it'll also make the whole game itself go by a lot faster, giving less to do once it's all done, besides messing around and causing havoc, but there wont be any side-content that 2 different people can do. like in SR1, someone could be collecting kookadobas while the other is doing quicksilver races. things go by a lot faster.

I think Co-op would be cool, i dont have an issue w it.
but it should def be optional. a singleplayer experience should still be available ofc.

Maybe it's because the game doesn't actually appear to be innovating or evolving in any meaningful way. A few extra slimes, new items, blah blah blah, but in terms of gameplay, what's changed? What's been added? This looks like SR1 with some new skins. Co-op would have given us a reason to play this over the first game but as it stands, there's nothing to really suggest this will even be as good. There's nothing to get excited about.

personally i find it enjoyable that they wont make it coop just cuz people say they wont buy it if it dont get coop i find it just a big ♥♥♥♥ u to the people that cry so much and says to nott buy cuz they dident add 1 feature u wanted. would it be nice to get coop sure but the more people cry about it the more i hope it never ever happens officially

Oh definitely agree on that; if the game doesn't have co-op, that's totally fine. Trashing on a game just because it doesn't have a certain mode is just wrong.

true to a degree but lets put that as a stardew valley thing stardew valley dident get multiplayer for 2 whole years even tho it was promised as a thing on release but he had to backtrack as he dident find it possible to complete within the timeline off releasing but later did yet people played that game for years even now people play that game even without many new things each update people who loved the first one will pay for the second one no matter what u do or say

From my PoV, it would be appreciated if they would've implement that multiplayer mode as part of the game, so people wouldn't mod their games and have problems such as from SR 1 where our little help droids would break from time to time and such like duplication of plorts while one person sleeps. However, I do not see this as an immediate implementation or even required for the game, of course people may not like how they cannot play with friend/s and to boycott this game, they can download mod once it comes out but without any help from the devs or such, it will meet with same bugs just like from SR 1.

Agreed that its fine at singleplayer. the people who are trying to boycott it over no multiplayer are just dumb fks. They never implied there was gonna be multiplayer. if they said there was and then changed their mind. thats one thing but didn't. Let them boycott it, those of us who actually love this game can play still :)

While it's not as much a problem anymore, I think a lot of the negative reactions to what seem to be primarily single-player games getting a multiplayer mode come from that time in the early 2010s when games companies just...decided that Singleplayer was dead and started trying to force multiplayer modes in things where they didn't belong because they claimed it was the only way they could make money. A lot of games got gutted to make room for unwanted multiplayer modes back then. Bioshock 2 being my go-to example.

As I say, not as much a thing now but given that...there is a history of singleplayer games being gutted to make room for weird multiplayer additions, it's not an entirely unfounded concern.

Actually very disapointed, im suprised to se this is not multiplayer - i was looking forward to play this with my gf :-(
