What the fuck happened to split screen in video games anyway? I had to install Alpharing just to get Halo MCC co-op working.
>>730870609the decline of good game design
>>730870609Crazy, works fine on original Xbox. Maybe you should get one of those if you want split screen.
>play 4-player splitscreen on 22" tv in 1998>no problem seeing anything>play 4-player splitscreen on 80" tv in 2026>can't see shit
>>730870609If your PC is good enough to run two instances, there's like a million custom "mods" to play online-only games in splitscreen through Nucleuscoop.Sometimes I honestly prefer it to native split screen because I can put each instance in a different monitor.Some games are flawless, others are bugged and the whole thing can be a pain in the ass to setup.
>>730870749>shitty fpbp attemptConsoles are shit and PC handhelds are superior.>>730871004I've considered setting up Partydeck for 8 player Halo on a Steam Deck but from the looks of it, it seems a major headache especially with 0 documentation online. I'd rather just have two computers set up with alpharing LAN splitscreen.
>>730872224You struggle to do that which consoles have effortlessly done for decades. Want 8 players on console? Hook up two xboxes at once with an ethernet cable. Problem solved.
>>730872224I fucking hate 343. 4-player halo should’ve been a slam dunk on a consolized PC, but they forgot the main feature that popularized Halo in the first place.
>>730870609Can't make money letting 4 people play 1 game. 4 people should all buy the game, console, and have their own internet connection at their own houses paying their own utility bills.
>>730870609Even the wrestling games are shit these days. Have to play an old unc console just for some decent co op with the bros.
>>730870609Zoomies don't hang out with friends, if they have any. Or so my zoomie tranny son says.
>>730870609faggot gamer cattle only cares for more polygon. faggot gamer cattle plays cowadutty, they want 2x polygon in cowadutty 2, then 4x polygon in cowadutty 3, then 8x polygon in cowadutty 4, a never ending, exponential increase of polygon and to please faggot gamer cattle, game industry realize hey, we need stop optimization, hardware will fix it and faggot gamer cattle will buy, but faggot gamer cattle doesn't know about wirth's law that offsets moore's law and game runs like shit. faggot gamer cattle goes on 4channel and asks, why can't i render this game that already runs like shit, 4 times?
>>730873229>struggleWhat are you talking about? I just said it's annoying to set up PartyDeck instances on one system and that it's easier to use 2 seperate computers for 8 player split screen.
