Same room competitive multi-player is also good. There is no such thing as a bad same couch multi-player game. It's either a fun game you legit enjoy together or it's something to dunk on and have a laugh at with your friends.
Online minecraft is not same room multi-player. That's where there's always that Unless. Online gaming requires anonymous strangers all agreeing without interacting prior to play how they are going to have fun. And just...playing with pals in the same room and being able to talk to one another while playing. It's fucking great. My giving any fucks about gaming died more or less when the ps3/360 Gen came out. I have a ps3, there's some great games, but it was all single player, Online or the wii which had some bangers but had soooo much utter trash and needing to do gimmick motion control stuff when you wanna play a more normal game with pals not being much of an option was meh. I remember playing star fox assault split screen where we could only use remote control missiles. It could be 2 hour long matches where we'd both be trying to guide a missile from inside a maze into another maze to get a kill, and we learned to use the missiles to shoot down enemy missiles defensively. Just a brutal war of attrition but the in room gags and comments made it fun as hell.

Yeah. Like online minecraft can be cool unless there are PVP losers and griefers and there are always some of those.
