I hate it when articles have links that look like they might take you to a relevant page about the linked text, like the game's steam page, but instead take you to another older article about the same thing on the same site.

Meanwhile, I loathe in-article links to the store page which are disguised as links to other, earlier coverage on the subject the article is discussing. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Best time I ever had playing WoW was the single player project. The bots are fairly convincing most of the time. Even though they may trash talk, you never need to worry about being full on harassed.

I wonder how it compares to Kenshi ... Probably less brutal. Otherwise it seems like similar game mechanics

a 3d thirdperson game with rimworld like emchanics would be fun, waiting on amazing cultivation im 2

Dragon Age: Inquisition feels rather like a single-player MMO.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

This was something that I always dreamed of as a kid growing up playing WoW with shitty internet back in the day, will have to take a look at it

I wish I could play single player old school RuneScape on my SteamDeck so bad. Sitting mining rocks while I watch TV in bed would go so hard

Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Oh wow thats a name i never expected to see again. I knew a guy who blew a ton of money on that game years ago.

kingdom of amular or something technically too, it was like an mmo that got turned into a single player game part of the way through development, could be another game from the ps3 im thinking of

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

And it was great!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Nah you're right. KoA was exactly that. More recently we have Wayfinder having a similar story.

I saw this the other day and added it to my wishlist...curious to see what it's like when it breaks early access.

Tldr: Game title is ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don't even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and click baity. The game looks fun though, so I'll go out of my way and actively search for ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.

Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!

Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded.

You sure about that? FTA

The oxymoronic single-player MMO Erenshor, which has slowly been becoming a Steam superstar since 2023

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You're right, I have bird memory and when I looked on steam the wrong one popped up, adding g to my confusion. Thanks for the heads up, I corrected my comment.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Seems like it might have been autocorrect, but thats kinda hilariously ironic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Agreed, and ambarassing as well hahaha

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But will they play like idiots and then offend my mom when I complain? Otherwise I'm not buying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe they'll call you trash and kick you from the group, lmao

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Ill offend your mom right now.

I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.

It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No one talks in real mmos anymore so this would be welcome

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unless you go on an ERP server

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think Runescape has those

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bro, let me Rimmington your Falador while you Edgeville, and then I'll Karamja my Wizard's Tower in your Waterfall Dungeon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If my boyfriend talked to me like that, he'd already be pregnant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah, Slayer!
