The Co-Opticrew just can't decide which game should dominate our plans this weekend, and you'd better believe we're at each other's throats about it. It's all fun and games around here until Locke smashes a bottle over our mantle and starts screaming about how Outward's extreme focus on realism really does make it enjoyable.
May flowers are blooming and MMOs are bursting with various events. For this issue of MMO Co-Opportunities, we have anniversary events for TERA and Age of Conan as well as an upcoming finale to Season 4 of Guild Wars 2’s Living Story. Let's dive right on in! TERA Celebrates 7th Anniversary TERA celebrates its 7th anniversary today...
Part of the Co-Opticrew is entering stealth mode for the weekend thanks to recent news of Tom Clancy's adepts producing another backwards baseball cap simulator. In preparation for the stealthy-but-not game's release later this year, we'll mostly be playing video games, but I'm assuming that activity will be interlaced with mud plastering sessions and figuring out which caterpillars are safe to eat.
The Co-Opticrew is venturing into territory both old and new this weekend. On the unfamiliar side of things, a large portion our staff seems to be entranced with the idea of deck-based RPG combat (or maybe it's just the robots). Those who aren't as willing to go out and see the dang world will be retreating into those places they know best, such as addictive strategy titles and games about shooting a gun that also... shoots... a gun? I'm not entirely clear on the logistics, there.
My shaming tactics worked! Practically the entire Co-Opticrew is here for the latest edition of Weekend in Gaming, and we've got some gosh darn plans lined up for this gosh darn weekend. I love seeing these full lists of plans, primarily because it shows the breadth of possibilities for co-op gaming. Whether you and your friends like shooting aliens in space, shooting aliens with loot, or even shooting aliens on Earth, there's almost certainly a game out there for your alien decimation needs.
The Co-Opticrew will be solving problems in a couple different ways this weekend. Some of us are utilizing our thinkin' facilities and overcoming obstacles through the power of deduction. Others, however, will be using their punchin' facilities and getting the job done through the power of... punchin'. Whatever it takes, right?
Welcome, everyone, to the latest edition of "Our Weekend In Gaming"! Most of the Co-Opticrew has adopted radio silence this week. Maybe it's because they're all working on some super secret project, but it's more likely due to them all forgetting to respond to an email that's sent out at the same time every week. Regardless, we remaining few are happy to divulge our weekend plans.
For this issue of MMO Co-Opportunities, we’re taking a look at updates to some MMO that have been around for a while: TERA, Black Desert Online, and RIFT. This will be a pretty console-heavy issue as well....
The Co-Opticrew seems to be distracted this weekend with some distinctly non-cooperative titles. I'll allow these prodigal children a single weekend to get it together and return to the co-op fold, but let this serve as warning that they're all on thin ice.
Well, gang, I've fallen ill, which is why Friday had a distinct lack of Weekend in Gaming goodness. I'm feeling mildly better now, though, so I've gathered the Co-Opticrew's weekend plans for you to see as they're probably happening.
The Co-Opticrew has all kinds of sequels lined up for this weekend. Old sequels, not-so-old sequels, sequels that are practically infants - we've got it all!
Nick's away on a cruise this weekend, and the Co-Opticrew's all beat up about it. Without someone to bust our chops and get us in line, we're aimless! Eric's talking gibberish to a soda machine, Locke's making a mural out of old mechanical keyboards, and Jason... well, let's just say that police horse had it coming.
