Is Skyrim An Offline MMO?

It's not. It's a massive open world rpg. It doesnt replicate like .HACK titles did where it simulated an MMO or Phantasy Star Online could do. But I see a little bit of the articles point. It's freaking massive.

They're referring to the hours put into MMO's that console gamers despise. Not replicating an MMO. They say that in the first few sentences of the article...

fluffydelusions4580d ago

This is a dumb question. If it's an offline game then obviously it's not an MMO. Call it what it is, an open world RPG.

DaveX3604580d ago

Surely it's a Massively Single-Player Role Playing Game.

Or MSPRPG.

I've patented that, by the way.

Sprudling4580d ago

At least the quests are very MMO-like: Deliver something, kill something or talk to someone. Infact, the quests in World of Warcraft (after the Cataclysm) are overall much more varied and interesting than those in Skyrim.

Dailynch4580d ago

Yes! No! Maybe! Does it matter!? Why must I shout!?

Can't think why you're only allowed one comment.

Its a stat-heavy adventure game.

theonlylolking4580d ago

I dont think the know what MMO stands for. Just like the people who think anything in first person is instantly a FPS. Even when it does not have any shooting in it.

I don't think the(onlylolking) knows how to click through to read the article.

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Popsicle3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

anast3d ago

They might as well. So far, it looks like ES6 will be mostly developed by AI.

I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast62d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22962d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko62d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
