Seriously, Split Screen
I know there are a bunch of topics out there already, but I decided to add my voice to the throng.
Guys, do you have any idea how disappointing it was for my wife and I to play the beta, both love the heck out of it, and realize we would never actually be able to play the game together? We can't afford to buy another current-gen console just to play one game together, but we both loved the beta and would really like to play the game together. That's a huge experience you're depriving us of. And when Destiny, a game with a huge focus on social interaction, doesn't allow us to have that interaction with the closest people in our lives, something is very, [i]very[/i] wrong.
Just add two-player split screen to the game. It will only help your goals here, and it will help my wife and I (among a multitude of other people with the same complaint) enjoy the game so, so much more.

5 RepliesThe below is from one of my posts advocating against split screen. [quote]Ok, for all of you who want split screen in this game, I'm going to reason to you that it should not be in this game. First of all, it's an RPG as well as an fps. Very few RPG's so have split screen, and if they do it is usually in campaign offline. There is a reason for this. If a guest were to just jump on a friends console, how would the game decide what level and gear they will get to play with? The game cannot just spawn them in the world with any gear because they didn't earned it. Same goes for levels. I cannot think of an mmo/online RPG that allows guests to play (if you know one that allows online guests Please let me know) .Also, if you by chance are playing split screen with someone who has an online account, what happens if you two aren't the same level? With split screen, you would have to both be on the same planet at once fighting the same level range of enemies. If one person is under-leveled/geared, they won't have the best play experience. The main problem is the gear/leveling system that wouldn't work with splitscreening guests. Also the console will be overworked having two players instead of one. Also, not all shooters have split screen (bf4)[/quote]
