I'm probably going to buy a used copy and do a guided playthrough with him to see if it bothers him or not because he's inconsistent with it, but will speak if he doesn't like something. We encourage him to be vocal about stuff like that, so I'm not worried that he'd hide it, especially because I don't find Borderlands particularly funny. I remember BL being mostly middle school type jokes, nothing too crazy but I'd wanna be there to make sure it doesn't say something that's a full conversation without me being there to play it with him in case he doesn't like it, or has questions about it.
Definitely going to check out Battlefront! Didn't know they did split screen but that's really the major requirement I'm looking for with the game. He's a super sweet kid and would play pretty much whatever I give him as long as he can play it with me. Yeah, I wish there were more split screen co-op games nowadays, would love to grab Left 4 Dead for him because it'd be a great game for his tastes. I don't know why split screen fell out of style so hard :/
hell yeah, awesome that y’all have open communication about these things. hope the kiddo loves Borderlands, it’s one of my favorite co-op game series.
note about Battlefront: there are the new ones that have a splitscreen mode but it’s kinda a glorified practice mode for the online-only modes, and the remakes of the originals (Battlefront Classic Collection) that have proper splitscreen campaigns but (from what I’ve heard) poor online play.
