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.

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.

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

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Unless you go on an ERP server

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't think Runescape has those

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days 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 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Hell yeah, Slayer!

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

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 55 points 6 days ago

Massively single-player. I like it.

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

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

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.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Kobek@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?

[–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 1 points 22 hours 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.

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

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (2 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

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

And it was great!

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

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Ill offend your mom right now.

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.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 5 days ago

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

[–] BaronRivendare@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days 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

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

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

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 5 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.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I'd love to play WoW with this.
