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.

xPhearR3dx4905d 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...

fluffydelusions4905d 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.

DaveX3604905d ago

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

Or MSPRPG.

I've patented that, by the way.

Sprudling4905d 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.

Dailynch4905d ago

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

Biglet4905d ago

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

Harelgur4905d ago

Its a stat-heavy adventure game.

theonlylolking4905d 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.

Biglet4905d ago

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

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast10d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic10d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee11d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator11d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast10d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
