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

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.

Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

No, the .hack series did. I believe the first game came out 23 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

And it was great!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

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

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

I am a dad to one year old twins and I feel this comment in my bones.

God help you and your family.

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

Massively single-player. I like it.

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

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.

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

@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.

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.
