I’m ecstatic that we’ve been getting these great digital distribution games lately, but the lack of online functionality is disheartening.
Of course, I’m referring toScott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game, Shank, andLara Croft and the Guardian of Light, although it should be noted the latter will have online co-op patched in next month. You could throw out the “it probably wouldn’t work well anyway so why bother?” argument, sure.
I’d personally like to at least have the option of playing online, though — even if that means running into technical issues occasionally. Either way, I think we can all agree it is nice to see offline co-op in a time when it isn’t unusual for developers to leave such features out entirely.
That’s enough nonsensical rambling for one evening. Let’s play some games.
New to FNF? Read this: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Basically, this is what Friday Night Fights are all about.
The planning for FNF takes placein the forums, where community members volunteer to host by posting their information (gamertag, time to meet up, game, etc.) in the forum post corresponding to the system they’re interested in playing on.
Then, every Friday, reminder posts for those who don’t read the forums regularly go up in thecommunity blogssection all thanks to a dedicated group of cool individuals. And for everyone who wants their info all in one place, they have got my weekly recap posts to look forward to between 4:30 – 5:30 PM EST.
Now that you’re here, just scan the list below and find a game you want to play. All that’s left to do after that is to join the match by contacting the host below using any means necessary. For Wii, you might have to be a little creative, but for 360/PS3 a simple “invite me” message will be fine.
The names on the left are our Destructoid handles, while the ones on the right are our online handles (PSN IDs, for example). Don’t see a game you want to play? Feel free to post a comment offering to take up hosting duties yourself.
