Lan is the only way to play anyway. Who the fuck wants their screen split? This isn't N64.
True. true.Lan is the only way to play anyway. Who the fuck wants their screen split? This isn't N64.
wasn't this game made specifically so somebody could play it with his gf. slipt screen (or ds3 single screen with terrible camera) is mandatory for stuff like that.Lan is the only way to play anyway. Who the fuck wants their screen split? This isn't N64.

I thought so, but apparently it is made to force people to separate and not actually play together. Which is ridiculous.
Huge marketing opportunity lost, really.
Especially as we are all under the cultural umbrella of alienation, especially through evil internets.
Not in split screen exactly, mind you, but i thought playing from one PC with picture on two screens (or while characters are close together on one screen) would be integrated from the ground up, (with split screen option for poor people - if you separate the team in the game).
Sure, it will be nice to connect with someone over the internet, especially if you are far apart, but... actually playing together, with a girfriend-boyfriend, friends or even kids ... should be the core attraction, damnit.
Especially if i have to buy two copies for it. Larian.
lies. pc invented hotseat and splitscreen is just hotseat for concurrent player actions.Seriously? You guys got that impression? I never even remotely thought that is what they meant. Split screen gaming is a console multiplayer gimmick approach. Multiplayer gaming with PC's has always been LAN or WAN focused with each player at their own screen.
if someone can't afford a second computer (used or otherwise) to play PC games as such, well... maybe they shouldn't be playing fucking games in the first place.

I just mentioned it since it was an option in old times.
Probably. The option to play from a single PC, even single copy of the game while using two controllers would be more important. Of course, the save should be easily transferable across Steam atleast, or manually. So the game can be continued over distance too and then again from one PC, one copy.I like hiver's idea for Divinity: Original Sin, splitting the screen when the characters move far away from each other though it's probably too late/not worth it to implement something like that now.
Wasnt it the ONLY type of multiplayer? At the start.I just mentioned it since it was an option in old times.
Pretty sure it was a last resort type of multiplayer, i.e when netcode wasn't an option. Diablo for the PSX comes to mind.
Imagine a couple who bought two copies to play together

Regardless, it is a good thing. However it came to be. Especially if it enables a single player story co-op.
The game is perfect for such close and personal co-op, especially since you can separate in the gameworld and dialogue against or with each other - in the game.
Imagine a couple who bought two copies to play together, personally and online, coming to home of one of them together, then realizing that they cannot just hook up a gamepad and play on one screen. One machine. Thats going to look weird.
(i would even give "split screen" or "no separating - one screen" options to people so they can choose whatever fits them at the moment)
Me neither.I don't see any direct benefit to the player from playing the game on a single machine v.s playing it on a lan.
If you choose one screen - then you cannot separate characters in the game. If you choose split screen option, then as players go in opposite directions the screen just soft fades into two - which kinda... come together (that would play in the "trailer") - into one single screen - when they come together again.Well, it's probably easy as hell to implement.
What a fucking stupid thing to say... fucking newfags... for fuck sake...
- they should be able to play on one PC in a single full screen - as long as they keep together in the game.
- there should be some split screen (or something) if they separate (but it should be a clearly secondary option)
3. These options should exist for copies sold through other means, distributors or directly from Larian.
According to my txt pages in this thread are going to get really really long and annoying to read for a while, but it should be good.It's strange to see hiver stray out of a Game of Thrones thread.
Anyway, according to my txt file, he's a veteran from the Balkans? I suspect he's quite old.
dont be so bloody ridiculously stupid, mkay?Anyway, according to my txt file, he's a veteran from the Balkans? I suspect he's quite old.
Why? A computer is a single person input device. You are asking for something extra ordinary for PC's and more specific to a fucking console. Go ahead moron, give me some examples of PC games providing "split screen" to any commonality? What is that? You can't? /boggle
I was writing code when you were still a stain on your daddies sears magazine you fucking twit.
No need to lug a second PC/laptop around. No need to connect them and set it all up - if you dont feel like it. You sit next to each other and play - together.
microsoft or sonny would kill for this. KILL!
(ofcourse, this wouldnt be possible through any of their drms and shit, i just mean the main idea. psst - US market...!!)

I remember a lot games back in the day where each person would have like half the keyboard to control the game.
I think Battle Isle might have done this.
