As I've aged, my interest in competitive multiplayer games has waned. I find that I have no interest in fighting other players online, that I don't really care about the score I get, and that having those things present in a game tends to pair me up with players I'd rather not play with…
It makes me so mad when I see game on steam feature “online co-op” and in reality the co-op in game is “join your friend and help him sometimes as a guest” Dark Souls style. I swear me and my friend had to refund like 5 games recently just because it turned out all of them had that. Now we just play Valheim while waiting for something good to drop.
that’s kinda just how monster hunter works tho. it’s mission based. and you’re both on even footing, it’s a bit disingenuous to call that dark souls style coop

Which games were those? I like that form of co-op as well, but I’d like to see a few tweaks compared to how From does it.
Monster Hunter Rise, Code Vein, State of Decay 2, there were some others but that’s all I can remember right now.

Wait, you can totally do co-op in Monster Hunter Rise, just not the village quests. Most the real story happens in the Hub quest lines anyway.
