Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I'd kill for more modern splitscreen games, especially on PC

I used this to play Minecraft with my girlfriend on my PC and it works alright. I do use it with 2 screens though. There's other games too but I haven't tried any.

But yes I do agree there is a severe lack of splitscreens nowadays especially with the hardware we have available now compared to what we used to.

I briefly looked at it and the coverage of games is crazy. I think I even saw the Skyrim multiplayer mod

mind naming your top3 splitscreen games atm?

[–] Escew@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Project Zomboid is my favorite split screen game. Not split screen but shared-screen-coop and tons of fun: Wild Woods, Speedrunners, Demons Crystals, unrailed. I'll add more if I can think of them. These all have fantastic controller support.

I don't have many on PC, but basically any TT Lego Game comes to mind, along with Sackboy a Big Adventure and The Escapist 2. That's like a decent 75% of my splitscreen PC library though lol

hm. splitscreen seems to have peaked ages ago unfortunately. have you tried Blur Racing (archive.org)? that's what i call prime splitscreen gaming. also borderlands3 on console is mentionworthy.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think borderlands 3 is the only one borderlands I haven’t played at some point lol. I’ll have to pick it up at some point

bet it'll be free with br4 bundles this autumn.
