I'd love to play WoW with this.

You can do basic 5 man content with AI players nowadays.

Massively single-player. I like it.

One review I just read on steam said "great if you have dad game hours"

It's a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I'm all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only "FMMORPG". I'd love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.

I feel like it could be a really clever way of making a horror game

It's actually pretty fun especially if you're watching something on another screen and just like to grind for items/levels. They have a free demo as well so I'd suggest anyone that finds this concept interesting to try it out!

They even have simulated global chat where people are assholes to each other lol very true to life.

When did .Hack//Sign come out, again? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I've been playing through the first one. It's definitely a good time.

Yeah I'll be buying this. This is the game I've had in my head for the last 5 years

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

I have not played either of these, but the premise of a dead post-MMO world, PAGAN: Autogeny, seems personally more interesting to me.

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

That looks like it's probably a great game for someone like 5 years older than me tbh. I think I just missed the nostalgia train necessary for that kind of game

If you're interested in this sort of thing and like action/adventure rpgs, give Crosscode a shot. it's excellent

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Respect for the GOG link (gotta reduce Steam's monopoly-like grip on digital games), but... CrossCode, despite its fantastic presentation, wore me down to the point of not finishing it. I feel like the devs ran out of ideas halfway through because all of the dungeons involve multiple ricochet-angling puzzles, even all the way to the last one. They just got so tedious and boring that I eventually ended up "finishing" by watching someone else's play-through.

It has an interesting plot, but... yeah. Anyway, that was my personal experience.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I struggled with it as well. My main problem seemed to be that no matter how many side quests I did, I was still underleveled for most enemy encounters. I did read that upgrading gear is worth more than levels, but it was such a grind to go and find all the materials that I eventually got bored. Shame though, because it's really well made.

I had the exact same thought when I read the premise. One of my favorite indie games of all time.

The people downvoting you have never experienced perfectly regular trees (and don't understand CrossCode inside jokes).

Goat simulator had an mmo simulator.

There was also an achievement for licking a friend, if you played at the same time as one of your friends, they may pop up as one of the ingame NPCs.

Is it just me or is it impossible to just find a link to the steam page on any gamesradar article ever.

Thank you. Should be a damn rule you have to link the game in the post

I don't go for early access games but hot damn am I tempted. But if I lose a roll for a good bit of loot to a bot I'm gonna be pissed.

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

Just part of the mmo experience lol. Other player is a warrior and selected "need" on a wizard staff

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It certainly sounds interesting

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

@cm0002 This puts me in the mind of the old .hack// series of single-player JRPGs, but from a Western perspective.

If they take some creative liberties with it to give it its own distinct feel and narrative, as the .hack// games did in their day, it could be a pretty charming game once it's out of Early Access.
