This game is one of those games that would be more fun online tbh and the price tag is too big.
No online, no buy. It's just not feasible to gather up enough people at the same time for shit any more.
It honestly boggles my mind that developers think that its best if they only have local co-op.
Even though there's no online this game is still one of the funniest local games you can play

[/quote] also not all that big a price considering they have 100+ levels planned too
Keep in mind: early access. The developers could easily change their minds and say "hey, they're right, maybe we should add/rush to completion online multiplayer".
[QUOTE=Furnost;45998336]guys pls they have online planned, shit just takes time also not all that big a price considering they have 100+ levels planned too[/QUOTE] it isn't worth it until they add it what if they fuck off and don't add it? what if it disconnects constantly? what if it has insane lag? never trust a dev until you see for yourself what they have done.
[QUOTE=J!NX;45998375]it isn't worth it until they add it what if they fuck off and don't add it?[/QUOTE] im not saying its worth it atm, im just saying no need to act like they dont have it planned at all it would be stupid of them to not do online too, most people are begging for it to be a thing (me included), theyre being provided the resources/help to do it too
[QUOTE=ijyt;45998144]No online, no buy. It's just not feasible to gather up enough people at the same time for shit any more.[/QUOTE] Really? I found its pretty easy to just invite people over to play something for a while, i mean shit i had 8 people playing this 2 weeks ago and it was the most fun ive had in a while.

I know people don't exactly go out much anymore, but really, that's a lame excuse. The enjoyment of sitting on a couch with some peeps and gaming is infinitly more enjoyable then playing the same game online with the same people. It's the atmosphere about the whole thing.

Have played this with my family/friends, We played for like 4-6hrs straight. It's hilariously fun especially the ferris wheel stage.

It's really not that hard to get your mates to come over during the weekend (unless you somehow know literally nobody in your town/ city), and hook your PC up to a TV with some gamepads. It's a fuck ton more hilarious in person anyway, less likely to break or have issues due to connectivity, easier to give your mates infinite amounts of shit for letting go to early. This is something the PC so desperately needs, a game with a focus on playing shit with your mates in the same room.

Nidhogg, Samurai Gunn, Lethal League, Gang Beasts, and more. It's a rapidly growing genre that doesn't even have a name.

As long as your mates are in the same rough area as you, getting them over really shouldn't be that hard.
