Craving a good online / co-op game. What to play?

[JeffNY35]

Me and a buddy of mine just finished Magicka. Fun stuff.

Looking for next game to enjoy some laughs and fun.

I will admit, the MMO craving is hitting me again. It hits me every summer. But I will not play one of these WOW clones. I was reading about Secret World. Looks like it could be a gem..or it could be terrible. Seems more single player"ish" though.

Or just another fun action oriented game where we can blow each other up. I don't know...there is too much out there!

So, yeah I didn't narrow it down much at all.

suggestions?

I've been playing Far Cry 3 CO-OP a lot here recently and it's insanely fun.

I've been playing Far Cry 3 CO-OP a lot here recently and it's insanely fun.

Is it as short as I've heard it is? Is there any replay value?

Gosh, I read this whole thread, and ...

Well, anyway. Free to play games! °˖✧◝(⁰▿&#8304◜✧˖°

For your MMO bug, try out Neverwinter, TERA Online, RaiderZ, Rusty Hearts, Dragon Nest, Continent of the 9th Seal, or Vindictus. All are free-to-play MMORPGs that are FAR from being "WoW clones", with fast-paced action combat, and visual effects ranging from "good" to "outstanding". Phantasy Star Online 2 is fantastic too, and also free, but some Japanese language knowledge will be required.

For other great co-op materials, Warframe is an amazing third-person action/shooter/RPG hybrid game from Digital Extremes that you shouldn't miss; it just had a big update. Don't forget to turn on PhysX to see the best particle effects in the business! Blacklight: Retribution is a fantastically polished and well-executed free-to-play first-person sci-fi shooter; I've dumped countless hours and at least $200 into this game. League of Legends can be a lot of fun if you play primarily with friends. Microvolts is a super-cute free third-person shooter that's simplistic, but with a fun concept and great character customization. Spiral Knights is another simpler game, but it can be played in small batches (fun as "filler" content) and has a really great art style. Last but not least, Hawken is an unbelievably gorgeous arena-style mech combat game. All of the above are completely free!

For non-free games, the recent RE games (Resident Evil 5 and 6, and Revelations) are standouts. The second Lost Planet game, also from CAPCOM and using the same advanced game engine (MT Framework), is a BLAST in co-op. Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a lot of fun, too. Borderlands 1 & 2 are fun to play at least once. Killing Floor is GREAT fun, and IMO much better as a game - not necessarily as an experience - than Left 4 Dead; the production values are lower to be sure, but the weapons are much more satisfying and there's SO much more content, especially if you get into user-generated content. It's a little simpler than the other games on this list, but Renegade Ops is a great old-school overhead-view shooter with GORGEOUS graphics thanks to the Avalanche Engine, which also powers Just Cause 2. It's like Micro Machines with guns!

Those should keep y'all busy for awhile. (•‿&#8226

Chivalry, free weekend on Steam right now.

The Steam version of System Shock 2 comes with the multiplayer client. You and your buddy should check it out.

Payday: The Heist is an insanely fun L4D-like that focuses on... well... heists. Also check out Krater, and especially Torchlight 2 if you have an Action-RPG itch.

And Planetside 2 is the bee's knees.

Most fun co-cop for me without a doubt Borderlands, however didn't really have a chance to play BL2 a lot.

Have you played dungeon defenders OP? Me and my friends had a ton of fun playing and if I recall correctly it was after we finished playing magicka.
