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.

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

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 11 points 2 days ago

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

[–] BaronRivendare@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day 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

[–] Kobek@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?

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

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day 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.

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!

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] simonced@lemmy.one 1 points 1 day ago

Agreed, and ambarassing as well hahaha

[–] simonced@lemmy.one 2 points 1 day 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.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 143 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

God help you and your family.

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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unless you go on an ERP server

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think Runescape has those

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day 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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah, Slayer!

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 56 points 3 days ago

Massively single-player. I like it.

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] RicoBerto@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

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

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

It's so fucking weird that this game/anime is all I've been thinking about for the last week and now to see it mentioned in the wild, unprompted.

Guys, quit mind reading/algorithming me. This and the ghibli shit. No one should have to vibe this much with the internet.

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 15 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

Ill offend your mom right now.
