Games

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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 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 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.

I'd love to play WoW with this.

Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?

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