What do you think of this quote.

I think the reason co-op in video games is more fun than single-player is because instinctually we are herding animals instead of loner animals. It’s built into our DNA to seek others and do things as a social cooperative group. When you do things that your instincts are urging you to do then your biology rewards you by making you feel good as if there was like these drugs naturally being produced in your brain whereas if you defy your instincts then your biology punishes you by making you feel bad until you do what it wants.

Meh, I prefer playing by myself. Co-op is fun sometimes more as something to do when hanging out with friends, but I don't take it seriously. Alone I get really into my games.

Yeah same here. It's also annoying if the person you're playing co-op with would rather play another game and so it just ruins the whole fun atmosphere. Razz

I love playing co-op more than by myself.
