EA's Co-Op Prison Escape Game A Way Out Crosses A Big Milestone

Damn you EA, I really want to play this, but forced online co-op? my mrs wants to play this too so we have to buy 2 copies?

if it is forced, then you should get 2 licences for 1 copy.

I'd forgot about this, looks nice, but I play late and few friends online to coop with at that time.

Hopefully like journey you can just pair up with somebody

I’ve been avoiding EA like the plague lately, but I think I might have to pick this one up. I like playing games with my son, and local coop games are so hard to find on the PC.

So does it have loot crates?

But not really a game for me because.

I would never buy a game like this too much restrictions I want to play whenever I want, I dont like the idea of having to wait on a friend to play.

Is it me, or did Josef Faris pattern the character Leo after himself?? They look identical.

Also, yeah, I can see the frustration in FORCING people to play this game with someone else. Hell, I play these to get AWAY from others....not to invite them into my temporary escape from them.

How can play this game without a friend playing the game itself . It should be online game like go through servers it’s stupid move from Ea games .

Great! Now all I need is a friend.

looks interesting I just hope its good even if it is short.

The games cheap and is basically worth two copies considering a friend can play with you online, definitely getting it. Plus if a friend isn't available I'm sure I can find someone online to play with in matchmaking.

What happened to having local co op or the AI to co op with you :(

I'm fine with the idea of coop being included, but making it mandatory could be a problem. Clearly that's why they created this friend pass thing, but I don't know... this seems to me like the kinda game that should be playable offline with an AI partner.

When I first saw this game, i loved it. And it was on my list.

But when the said it could only be played in co op. It went of my list.

To bad, because the game looks very nice!

Making this game require co-op/multiplayer is a big mistake, that's going to turn a lot of people off, exacerbated by the fact that people are looking for a reason to be turned off of EA

"Hey this game is really fun!" people might say
"Yeah, but it requires a connection and mandatory multiplayer!" hates the hater
"Yeah, but...it's fun! Who cares, right?"
"IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER!"

Many many many good and bad and everything in between things have been done "out of principle".

The guy went out of his way to say how not EA this game is. I'm personally not buying it, but my friend is, and I look forward to playing it.

"There are a few caveats: You need a constant internet connection and an EA account to use this trial. Also, your friend must be on the same platform, and you'll need PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold if you're playing on console."

Isn't this the pre-requisites for any multiplayer games at all anyway?

Sorry dude but the letters E and A make any game a HARD pass for me

reading "EA" next to the game's name is just a big, big, buzzkill.

Just like most gamer, I got issues with EA, but I'm tempted to get this game just based on that dude's performance at the Steam awards.
