PSA: My group played Overcooked 2 for a year before we figured out the real goal

We always just tried to get three stars on every level, fighting and yelling the whole time. Last week, my friend's little sister watched us and said, 'Why are you so mad? It's funnier when you mess up.' That made me realize we were playing to win, not to laugh together. Do you think the best co-op games are about winning or just having a good time on the couch?

Wait, isn't the real goal both? The best couch co-op makes winning feel awesome, but the fails are what you remember and laugh about later.

But what if the fails just feel bad? I've had games where losing over and over just kills the fun, no laughs at all. Maybe the balance is way harder to hit than we say.
