Maybe I should have specified local coop... But the game looks good, thanks for contributing.

There is a software that forces local coop but your PC will need to be able to run two instances of the game
Comment has been collapsed.
You should try playing Divinity Original Sin coop
He can try Path of Exile or Torchlight, that would keep him entertained for a while

We sure may move to "Diablo" games someday, but it will have to wait. He needs something fresh, as he said.

The Yakuza series, Bayonetta and Vanquish can all be found fairly cheap for ps3. I'd also recommend Shovel Knight and Binding of Issac.

Other than the basic english, your description of him is pretty accurate for me as well.
Here are some co-op games I have played with my brother that I have enjoyed a lot. Some of these have local co-op but not many:
- Borderlands 1 & 2
- Dungeon Defenders (I liked this one more than my brother did)
- Ark: Survival Evolved with me running my own dedicated server so that it is PVE and I can have all the mods/settings/etc set up the way we like it
- Saints Row 3 & 4 (excellent games but can be kinda buggy with occasional crashes to desktop)
- Castle crashers
- Lord of the Rings War in the North (ok game but can be really buggy with frequent crashes to desktop)
- Magicka
- Portal 2
- Sanctum 2
- Nidhogg (not really co-op but definitely a game meant to be played with friends/family on the couch)
- Road Redemption (I'm not normally a racing game guy but this one is basically Road Rash from the old sega days but in 3d)
Others that we haven't tried yet but that I am interested in:
- Dying Light (mostly because my bro has some hangup with "zombie games"... but he's still willing to play Left For Dead)
- Conan Exiles (very similar server and modding environment as Ark but somewhat less options and set in the Conan universe; would be doing PVE)
- Out of Reach (looks interesting as another " do you own PVE server" option)
- Borderlands Pre-sequel
- Saints Row Gat Out of Hell
- Any Gears of War games that come along if I can get them to run on Windows 7 with co-op.... because for me.... fuck Windows 10.
- Divinity Original Sin 1 and/or 2
Also I have enjoyed hooking up 360 controllers and playing my legal backups of old school games via emulator....I am too lazy to dust off and hook up the actual consoles to the tv but I do own hard copies of all the roms I play (plus I think at least one of my old consoles doesn't start up anymore)

np
also since you had "Has no problem with oldschool games (cause he grew up on them, makes sense)", I would also like to recommend Evoland 2. It is singleplayer and I didn't like the first one much but you don't need to have played that to start the second one (completely unrelated storylines); has a very zelda/final fantasy feel to it. there are some parts that have a bit of platforming and/or mandatory mini-games that I could have done without but overall it was pretty solid for what it was.

He might like Evoland, thanks for another suggestion <3

i am alot like u i think i am a hardcore gamer aswell and when u put it all like that i fully understood the sad thing is that there are few ppl who want to play games for as long as they can 90% of players do stop playing and there is sometimes nothing u can do i fell your pain in fact perhaps even u will stop playing sooner thin u think as most do XD i have lost ALOT of good frinds this way all well what can u do

I enjoyed playing Shovel Knight, BattleBlock Theater and Magicka in local coop.
Also: happy cake day!

I'm not sure if he would like these, but I'll try to BBT on him sooner or later :D

Crimsonland: Challenging top-down twin-stick shooter. Can be played in local co-op too but the solo campaign is also very interesting and long, especially if you want to get perfect scores. Then there is the survival (endless) mode with many exciting perks and strategies to try.
Mount & Blade Warband: Warning! It may save your brother from freemium hell but he may get lost in a medieval world. It starts with gathering some peasants to get rid of bandits and continues with joining a kingdom with self-conscious lords, or creating your own kingdom and getting your own lords. If that's not GameOfThronesy enough, there are many great mods (including GoT overhaul).
Don't Starve Together: Together or alone, this is one of the best survival games without the unnecessary fancy 3D graphics.
For single player rpgs, I recommend Fable, and Kingdoms of Amalur. They don't require high language skills to be entertaining.

Get Trine if you're looking for local coop. Good game to ease him back into gaming.

The first game that comes to mind is Borderlands 2, but it's not really "unique", just lots of fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
He won't like this most probably, but it charmed me istead :D
The dlc is rated positive, why do you think that I should stay away from it?
Comment has been collapsed.
I can remember old single player game like Ghost Master and a multiplayer also old and low specs Worms and Enemy Territory or just ET and it's free

None splitscreen Local Coop: Enter the Gungeon, Lovers In a Dangerous Spacetime, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Worms series, Kalimba...
Single player: Hotline Miami 1 and 2, I Am Bread, Goat Simulator, Dungeon Warfare, Gemcraft, Environmental Station Alpha...
Comment has been collapsed.
KTaNE! YES!
Also you get bonus points for Environmental Station Alpha <3

Unfortunately your brother is the exact opposite of me! We don't have a lot of game overlaps.
I'd recommend Journey on PS3 for everybody and anybody - at a stretch it is maybe 1.5 hours long, so even if he ends up not liking it it's not like he wasted a lot of time. It's gorgeous and has no dialogue or text.
For older games/RPGs, there's a lot of FF ports on steam! I never got to play 8 or 9 before, for example, and I liked playing them a lot on Steam. I think he'd like 3 the most - it is VERY grindy with a very uncomplicated story. I have an HP probook 4540s from 2012, and I was able to run every FF game I played (so 3, 6, 8, 9) with 0 problems. I had some issues with FF10, though, so beware - you guys might, too.
I wish I could be more help!

Thanks for contributing!
FF games are special for us and we played most of them

Coop: Portal 2, Diablo 3 (preferably the console version), Rocket League
Competitive: Brawlhalla, Niddhog, Divekick, Civ (could be coop as well), Total War (again could be coop)

I enjoyed this both solo and co/op Rampage Knights

Also Gauntlet is great in co-op and it's a dungeon crawler

PS3 local co-op:
Ratchet & Clank All 4 One is really fun
Little Big Planet 1 & 2 are pretty good
Resident Evil 5 and Resistance: Fall of Man offer action and FPS co-op respectively
PS3 singleplayer:
Ico & Shadow of the Colossus sound ideal, as they're great games with barely any English required
For PC local co-op:
Rocket League
Cuphead
Divinity: Original Sin
Helldivers
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (one person on PC, the other with the manual)
Trine 2
Victor Vran
Monaco
Dungeon Siege 3
Forced
Magicka
Good luck to you. I've lost family myself to the allure and addictive nature of mobile free-to-play games, and haven't been able to get them back. Only co-op games are able to pull them out of the mobile games' clutches, and only for the duration of the play session. Borderlands 2 was the most successful, though I don't know if it will run on his PC.

Hi everyone,
Before we begin, let me tell you story about myself. Believe it or not, I am gamer as long as I can remember, having clear memories of playing games on PC and PS1 (Warcraft 3, Crash Bandicoot, Alundra, Final Fantasy IX and many more) at age of 3. I loved to play with my brothers which were in teens back then and we were into gaming a lot, teaching each other tricks and stuff, great times that I like to look back at. Time passed and only one of my brothers was still interested in games. The fact that we still shared love for games really put us closer together,
But nothing lasts forever. As years went by, even he started to be less interested and slowly switched from "normal games" to mobile "pay or wait 2000 years" kind of games. When I realised what happened, I tried to pull my brother slowly away from these by offering to play games he liked before (even those I didn't like) but we usually didn't last long because he felt that the games were now hollow and couldn't keep him interested. I don't blame him, it happened to me few times, but then I always found some magical game that cured me and returned me to full gaming power. I started to think I lost him forever, but today he said out of nowhere that he feels like to play something unique/interesting, but doesn't know what.
This is the part where you come in. I'm looking games that are unique or interesting in some form:
There are some restrictions and information:
Games he likes: (J)RPGS, Dungeon Defenders, Diablo, Final Fantasy (not new ones), Sacred 2, Of Orcs and Men
I believe you'll surely find something great. All your suggestions are really appreciated.
PS:
I didn't want to share with you any games because I'm selfish idiot but I saw some "factory" icon next to my game and when I googled what that means it said "gib or consequences" , so I guess you are lucky (it's nothing special tho). Also sorry for that boring story.
