So is there online co-op?

[BisnesMies]

There's no information about this. I would like to buy this with my friend so we could play together, but first I would like to know if there is online co-op

Try parsec you can both control the same pc but no, there is not.

Damn. I hoped they would have included it by now, cause they talked about it in their kickstarter

They don't have it since online is a huge thing to take on. It's more complicated than just enabling it.

There is local Co-oop, which is split screen, like they said. As for an online co-oop, I don't really see why they would make one, as its good enough as it is offline, and not to mention, WHAT would the reason be for an online feature? Is there just gonna be a room with many Hat Kids?

It not only isn't gonna have it, the Online Co-op thing can't be done. It doens't fit into the game ion ANY way possible.

If you didnt realize it from my post, by online co-op i meant same kind of co-op as the couch one. 2 players. And it wouldnt be so bad if the other player would host the game from his pc.

Online co-op in two-player campaigns is mostly a thing you do as a sweetener if you're big enough to do it - see Portal 2. GfB is a bunch of guys sitting around in an office, not the biggest monopoly videogaming has ever seen. I'd like it, but I can live without it.

I don't think you comprehend that some people don't want to do local coop, we have PCs for a reason, not consoles.

Because maybe we'd want to play co-op with friends that live in other states?

Obviously, but they sure made it sound like it was online. Splitscreen is useless for the vast majority of people, and there's a reason why very few games use it any more ESPECIALLY on PC, this was probably done just to cash cow in on the Switch port.

Yeah, I thought that was obvious, but MissDreamer doesn't seem to be the brightest crayon in the box lmao. Well said.

No, it's not, it's a powerful selling point or the entire game's point in a lot of games. Portal 2 is an exception and still a terrible example because you can't do the main campaign in COOP, just a short side campaign.

Many games have it added due to demand in sequels, i.e. Sniper Elite, Far Cry, and Styx, and there have been many crowdfunded games that have it built into the experience, like Hover and Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2.

A Hat in Time is mostly perfect for me, but I was hoping it'd finally be the old school platform adventure that I could play with my brother in a pethetic era where "COOP" usually means being on the same Overwatch team (lol..) or playing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ MMOs with zero cooperative interaction.

Instead, we got the next best ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing on PC, split ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screen for some reason.

Yeah, I'll use Parsec, but it's still gonna chop my screen in half and it's still not optimal. This is definitely a failure in my book especially since I know they deviated personal and funds for the Switch port and this split-screen feature seems made for the SWITCH PORT and is probably only being given to us to checkbox the Kickstarter promise.

Wish they had put more effort into COOP instead of backtracking on all their sassy refusals of a Switch point and throwing their efforts there instead.

Honestly its really just a missed oppertunity. I'm sure local co-op will get used by some people, but a majority of people will not. Split screen is not as widely popular today as it was before online gaming grew. Yes you still have some games that have local multiplayer, but the main difference between those and this is that theyre on a console, and this is a PC version. I'm sure split screen co-op for this game will be far more prominent on consoles.

Should online multiplayer have been implemented, this game could very likely have gotten more people streaming it on Twitch or Youtube.

no online co-op no buy

Basically this. Splitscreen is just not a PC thing, which is why I'm very sure it was done entirely with their upcoming Switch port in mind.
