Is co op good?

[Darth_Mamba_9K]

Is the game pretty well balanced with co op? Will we both get to experience the story with co op like see cut-scenes make choices etc.? How does the companion system work with co op will we each have 1 AI-companion each or one companion total between both of us? Also how is XP and items split between co op play? If one person picks up a weapon or item do we both get it? Is EXP split equally? Looking for a friend lol sorry for all the questions just looking to get into a fun co op game with my brother wanting to know if this is worth it from a co op stand point?

all i know is that the item drop is for each one, can get the same or different things is all luck, ahm... haze .. or souls as i call it, well you get the value the enemy u kill have. i you kill an enemy that gives 2000 haze, each one of you will get 2000 the exp does not split, and cutscenes i don't have a clue xD hahaha and just the HOST has the AI companion

ahh this game is definitely not designed to play from start to finish in CO-OP. It is more drop in drop out at times you need help. I was really hoping that wasn't the case as well.

For example, if you are in co-op with a friend, neither of you can rest at bonfires (forgive the nomenclature as the name BB uses for them is escaping me right now) So you essentially have to just get as far as you can until you die. This means you can't really progress the story without dropping out of co-op.

Also, co-op only progresses one persons game. If you summon a friend into your world, they are helping your progress, and when they die or leave, they just get to keep their experience points, but they don't progress the story at all.

Hope that helps.

I still think its super worth playing! My friend and I play next to each other on separate PC/displays and then we just call each other in for co-op at certain spots or just to do a fun run through an entire area together etc.
