I don't. Get me the scoop on slinging DVDs pls.

There are two rules for success:

1. Never tell everything you know.

I see what you did

Seriously though, I'd like to see split-screen multiplayer become a fairly standard inclusion again. It's a non-issue for us adults most of the time, but being asked to pick out a game to play locally and pawing through heaps of players: 1 before finding a rare outlier kinda makes me feel for the kids today. In particular, I believe its exile has really constricted the market for arcadey driving games. That genre was hugely buoyed by being the inoffensive-but-still-cool thing for parents to get their kids playing together. Now that's all the territory of Lego shit and Skylanders. If this gen hadn't constantly taught parents that local multiplayer is the exception rather than the rule for driving games, they (vis-à-vis we) would all be enjoying rad new installments of Burnout and Split/Second and whatnot.

I completely agree. I've played almost every split screen co op game available. It's a major selling point to me.

Split screen sucks.

If the XBone launch games are anything to go by, we can look forward to a lot of free-to-play bullshit, now in games that aren't actually free-to-play! :mad:

Nothing like paying for fremium disks

There's lots of open world stuff too, that design choice seems to keep expanding to even games like Metal Gear.

Nothing can stop it now that game makers know they can make more money on it than with single game sales or subscriptions.

You know in the late 90s when cartoons had people addicted to electronic drugs? It's here.

It's been here for over a decade.
