EB: Couch co-op gaming has always been one of my favorite past times, namely because it was the main style of gameplay offered during the 80’s and 90’s, which is the timeframe that I first fell in love with my video game hobby. The act of settling in with neighborhood buddies or school friends to play through a new NES or SNES game was an amazing experience, and a great way to bond with people that share similar interests to yours. Unfortunately, with the advent of online gaming, many developers cast the whole couch co-op motif aside, effectively limiting the experience to only a few modern titles, and they’re almost always from the FPS genre.
With that being said a few Indie developers have brought back couch co-op, and a few AAA titles offer the mode on current-gen consoles, but for the most part, the best couch co-op experiences are rooted in past games or franchises. The list below represents the 11 best games and/or franchises to have featured couch co-op.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."

A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.

As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
