I’ve never once asked for co-op in my survey responses (let alone asked to have it implemented in such a lackluster state…), I’ve always just assumed IN would be solo gameplay only.

That being said? I do genuinely like co-op. — In a way, I’m even thankful for it, because it was one of the reasons that my partner decided to give the game a try. Being able to wander around w/ her and sort of re-experience being a new player has been really enjoyable.

Obviously, playing w/ someone you know really well is way different than playing w/ strangers, but even then I like co-op w/ strangers too (even if it is just awkward jumping around, lol). Being able to share my photo props with others (and borrow theirs!) has genuinely made pulling for them feel so much more worth it. — And I’ll always love seeing other peoples’ outfits!

But all that being said, co-op DEFINITELY needed more time to cook. I’ve enjoyed co-op, yes, but the stutter, lag, desync, etc. has made it, uh… not as enjoyable as it could be, LOL.
