It can be nice to play cooperatively with one's significant other, or kid. Whether it's helping them, experiencing great game moments together, or just having fun, It's a welcome option. The original Baldur's Gate series had it, as did the Neverwinter Nights series. This didn't detract from the single player experience, it just opened up an additional way to have fun.
I really don't get the need for people to sneer at others who enjoy having that option in games they like.
I do have to say, the sections in which you are actually driving vehicles are obscenely un-fun. Running around atop a vehicle whilst defending it is a riot, but piloting? Jesus no. A true chore.
I disagree. The graphics of console video games improve as well, however the improvement is based solely on improving the actual code. Whether it be newer techniques, more efficient algorithms, or more efficient use of the available hardware, improvement is improvement.
They just don't get the option of throwing more hardware at it.
