My Gaming Thoughts Right Now:This is a post with some random bullet points where I speak my mind on stuff I've been thinking about, might be relevant to now, might be some random thoughts I've had about stuff, read on to find out!!!- Lets make like a old video game and split! (screen!) Come on, we all miss split-screen video game modes from back in the day! We all (anyone who is old enough to worry about taxes!) have played some super fun split-screen fun whether it be something like some co-op gaming or some free-for-fall/team deathmath type stuff. We've all been there and while we can still go back and have all the same fun again. Its hard to find a game that has a split-screen mode in it. And if it does have split-screen its usually a Co-op game mode. Which I super enjoy but we all miss the days of the Goldeneye or original Doom. It seems as time went on, gaming was just going to be big and powerful to really have a split-screen game mode in every game ever. And obviously not every game needs a split-screen mode or anything like that. I remember playing Minecraft on my PS 3 game back in the day and it said that I needed a HDMI Cable to do it. as the AV cables didn't have the 'OOMPH' to do it anymore so the next step was the HDMI Cable. But as time went on, and even then they was disappearing but then just one day they was kinda gone! Switched over to the ever popular ever profitable Online multiplayer games. But it really does seem like it got to the point that games just got so taxing that most games couldn't have a split screen mode and a online mode, and I understand that, but it seems to me that developers are actively taking away the split-screen option in games. Like one of the Call of Duty went out of the way to take split-screen out during a update. Or how just about every game that gets a 'next-gen update' includes taking out the split-screen option in most of them. I also feel like i could make a section about this but, the Co-op modes of games also seems kinda lacking as well. Like if you can play with a couch friend then half the time its just some small random sets of missions that don't mean anything. Or maybe you can play some of the random mini-games that's in the game in a Mario Party-esqe fashion. SOMETIMES you can play the games story all the way together but not always. Also my experience with all this goes as far as consoles. as I don't play very much on PC but I feel like that split-screen boat sailed long before the console ship did. So for this last part I'm going to talk about some games I had fun with from back in the day that were split-screen and, I promise ill try not to cry!
- I grew up playing on the N64 and Gamecube. I played a good amount of some wrestling games on the N64, Goldeneye, that one South Park game, and I believe one of the Banjo Kazooie games, but the relevant being probably only Goldeneye. As its really the only one with 'split-screen'. But I played a lot of the wrestling one with my cousins a lot. Probably being Wretlmania 2000 by the way. I vividly remember having a memory of them doing a 2-on-1 match against me and it was a super unfair fight. Then I might of of tried to get into a 1-on-1 fight in real life, it was a wild family get together that's all I'm saying man! Goldeneye I honestly didn't play a whole lot in the split-screen mode as apposed to the single player and just dying a whole lot on top of that! But when it was being played it was a good time in a 2-player sense, as at that point really I played more by myself at home on my Gamecube. But one time on like probably one of my youngest Christmas we all got together and all just collectively sucked on mutiplayer as a family and it was fun. Oh and I think like twice I played the multiplayer mode of the South Park game. I just remember being super terrified of those horrifying turkey sounds and figuring out years later that those snow balls was probably not made out of gold! I cant remember anything about the multiplayer of Banjo-Tooies multiplayer but a very spicific second in life where I was going against an eel or something. Then onto the Gamecube where I played a lot of split-screen gaming! With such games as 007: Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, Need For Speed: Underground, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Nightmare, Spongebob Squarepants: LIghts, Camera Pants!, and of course Mario Party 4 and Mario Kart Double Dash! All of those games are just great to get together with a group of friends and just a good night of fun! The games that I played the most with friends is 007: Nightfire, Mario Kart: Double Dash and wildly enough Lights, Camera, Pants!......! The amount of time me and my cousins played on Nightfire's split-screen is just a boatload! Just hours on end playing on different game modes with various different limits turned on and off and what not. Sadly I always had to play as a girl! Since I was the younger cousin and Bond was the only good guy literally! So I always had to have nail polish on my fingers or something! But the amount of times we did the Mario Party wannabe Spongebob game is kind of strange I feel! Flipping patties and driving boatmobile's and then getting yelled at over arguing about who the winner was....... even though the game flat out told us who it was! Good times! Good times! Mario Kart double dash got played a load as well, but really it only got played a few times when we first started up the Gamecube, then wed probably pop in Nightfire soon after. Same with stuff like NFS, or the TMNT game.
I have loads more games from loads more consoles and even more games from the Gamecube I could bring up but I'll save that for a different time! You just let me know what your guys opinions are on the lack of split-screen nowadays, and what fun you had with it back then, and might as well tell me your favorite game to play split-screen on!
