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.

xPhearR3dx4537d ago

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...

fluffydelusions4537d 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.

DaveX3604537d ago

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

Or MSPRPG.

I've patented that, by the way.

Sprudling4537d 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.

Dailynch4537d ago

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

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

Harelgur4537d ago

Its a stat-heavy adventure game.

theonlylolking4537d 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'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.

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

lucian22919d ago

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

Nittdarko19d 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

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave19d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
