Support NeoGAF

So over the past 6-7 months me and a couple of friends have been playing through Monster Hunter World. But we are about to be done with the Ice Borne content (and are honestly ready to move on after a few hundred hours on this) and I'm looking for some suggestions of what to play next.

The thing is, we are a bit mismatched in terms of hardware. I have a Ps5 but my only PC right now is an old laptop with a 1050ti, one of the guys has a good PC (rtx4080) and a Ps4 and the other one hasn't really updated much in recent years so he has a Ps4 and a PC with a GTX1080.
So it would have to be something that at least runs on a Ps4 and/or a 1050ti.

In terms of the actual games we are ideally looking for something:
- Lets you jump into Co-Op right away (or after a short tutorial) and not hours into the game
-That works well with 3 players and doesn't requiere a bigger party to access all the cool content (like Destiny)
-Has some sort of progression or end goal instead of being one of these games where you just play for a high score or play through the same content a 1000 times and just keep increasing the difficulty.

Any suggestions?

I guess the Far Cry games (?)

 

[Guilty_AI]

Could try some classic RPGs like the Older Baldurs Gates (or Divinity OS2), or classic shooters like DOOM, Heretic, Quake, etc.

Speaking of shooters, Prodeus also has a COOP mode.

Left 4 Dead 2: Only progression it has is beating the campaigns but man, there's a lot of them in the game and there also many custom made that are very high quality. Easy 100+ hours of playtime, plus being an old game it should run fine on any PC.

If you want something like that but with more progression systems, check out Vermintide 2 and Dark Tide. Edit: those might not run in super dated pcs.

And if you don't care about graphix but want a co-op game that's fun, hectic and that allows you to kill your teammates in funny "accidents" then please, check out the Earth Defense Force games. 5 should be super cheap and it's imo the best entry point, and it should run fine anywhere.

 

[Gorgon]

State of Decay 2 could fit the bill.

 

[ozz ex machina]

Isn't trine the classic 3 player co-op game?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Isn't trine the classic 3 player co-op game?

Yeah the Trine games are all good

Nioh 2

 

[RagnarokIV]

 

[Rentahamster]

Diablo 3, Diablo 4, Path of Exile 1, Last Epoch, Minecraft, Age of Empires 4, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3, Helldivers 2, Palworld

 

[R6Rider]

Maybe Remnant?

Wow that game looks awesome. Never heard of it before.

Yeah I was thinking maybe Far Cry 5. We were also looking at Dying Light 2 which is on ps4/5 and does support cross gen play.

Diablo 3, Diablo 4, Path of Exile 1, Last Epoch, Minecraft, Age of Empires 4, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3, Helldivers 2, Palworld

Weill Helldivers 2 run decently on GTX1080?

Nioh 2

How does Co-Op work in Nioh2?
Is it annoying like the souls games where you have to set up a summon sign with a password and do everything 3 times because only the host progressed the story?
Or is it easier?

 

[Holammer]

Minecraft is a great game if you need something to keep your fingers busy with while talking.
Conan Exiles or Valheim on a private server with friends can be a fun time waster too.

For the King is a three player board game/RPG/Roguelike hybrid. If you're looking for something that plays like a mashup of Dungeons and Dragons and Mario Party, that's your game.

Each run is different depending on the class combos you choose and the drops you come across. Every run is fun, even (or especially) when you're failing--and you will fail. The sense of accomplishment you get when you finally clear a campaign start to finish is wild. But each run gets you credits which you use to unlock things that appear in the overworld and subtly change the game. There are no microtransactions either, so everything is earned through gameplay.

I more or less stan For the King any time anyone asks for a good co-op title. Played it with a friend pretty much every weekend for a year, beating each campaign on higher and higher difficulties, eventually unlocking all the characters, items, mods, and cosmetics. One of my absolute favorite finds of all time.

You just invite and play together. And you can play the whole map together unlike souls games where you can only play together during boss fights.

It's the same in Wo Long as well.

You can all install Parsec then have your friend with a 4080 host the game (and even split the price of the game between you since you just need one licence). A good internet connection is all you need, I use it regularly with 3 or 4 other friends and it's pretty much flawless. We even play Switch games like Smash Bros Ultimate or Mario Party.
For games, here is some suggestions:

This one is really addictive, it's super fun and even if you are not especially into roguelike you should give it a try

Do I need to present this series, it's so much fun

Pretty original and with an amazing feeling (you can also look into the Trials series!)

Last but not least, Baldur's Gate 3. I can't stress enough how much I loved doing this game in coop.
If you want a big meaty game, you can have your friend with a 4080 host a game of BG3 then join with Parsec. It was my GOTY and It's in the top 5 of my most loved games. Unmissable

Earth Defense Force 5.

 

[DryvBy]

The best Doom game since Doom 2016.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Logically little big planet 3 is a good coop game, ghost recon wildlands I think is good coop.

 

[Bungie]

Gears 5.

 

[John Bilbo]

How about the Heroes of Hammerwatch games?

 

[Black_Stride]

 

[ecentre]

Destiny 2

 

[cormack12]

Rainbow six
Edit: extraction

 

[metareferential]

There's only one good answer: L4D2.

Still the best coop out there.

 

[MakeMudosGreatAgain]

Doesn't one person have to play as the little robot fella and have no fun?

 

[SilentSpecter]

Remnant: From the Ashes​

Why? It’s a Soulslike with guns, has a solid progression system, and supports 3-player co-op. The game offers a mix of exploration, challenging bosses, and loot progression.

 

[deriks]

Streets of Rage 4

I could say Bomberman, but it's not co op, but still hell of fun

 

[simpatico]

Multiplayer gaming peaked with Killing Floor 1. It should run on any potato in the world and it's a literal infinite fun cheat code. Still holds up great. Some of the best atmosphere ever.

 

[Three]

Overcooked and Sackboy are my recommendations.
