So is it a single-player/coop offline rpg or is it still a crap mmo?

[Where'sMySupersuit!!]

I legit don't understand what the "new version" even is other than it being a expansion. Yet people are making it sound like it changes the entire game.

still an MMO they just seem reluctant to use that term anymore. Its the same game we already playing with an update that also happens to include some solo/coop only content too

regarding the outrage. AGS did a bad job communicating the changes so people freaked out and started feeding off misinformation.

If they add a offline mode that would actually be really impressive also just super smart.

It certainly is not an "offline rpg" I am not sure how anyone would get that impression. It actually has a new cross serer functionality as part f the update. I think if you ever thought it was a "crap MMO" why are you even on the forums asking ridiculous questions? Just go play something you enjoy rather than waste time here bashing a game you apparently do not like.

I would not care about playing a mmo if it was single player offline personally

I think the entire genre of MMOs are pretty crap in reality since by design majority of them are already single-player games. Tons of people play MMOs solo so if its not really that weird to play them.

Also when you write in a trailer "play solo or with friends" its easy to assume that they could mean offline as a possibility.

I think of the game Hellgate London which I like that does have a community online think if I'm not mistaken. Tho you gotta play like a older version of the game or use a fix file or something since the studio was too lazy to fix a 1 fps bug.

Oh so there's nothing wrong with that then. People once again need to brigade something else to feel virtuous over since the "Hate sony for PSN bandwagon" died out. Alright then. Cool. Looking forward to it.

If people cared about it they would be playing the game. Seeing people review bomb the game in the tens of thousands is hilarious when they could just be playing the game.

LoL. They could not hang with the MO Multiplayer Online and added RPG. Now its a MORPG. Except its not a roll playing game.

Think of a drowning game trashing in the water. AGS is floundering.

really!? i had no idea, I looooved that game. so sad that it didn't really come to fruition. it could've been massively good.

(laziness was the least of their problems btw, the whole thing was an epic ♥♥♥♥ show. imagine you as dev know the game's going to get shut down next week, would you keep working passionately? i know devs like Josh Sawyer probably would but those types are one in a million)

For the little I know about the game I know it was a complete mess but when they put the game on Steam they were too lazy to fix the 1 fps bug. Literally all the other problems aren't as remotely as bad as that 1 bug.

Probably play it again until I reach that bug again, for the small amount of time I get to play I enjoy.

How is it not a role playing game?

"Role-playing video games typically rely on a highly developed story and setting, which is divided into a number of quests. Players control one or several characters by issuing commands, which are performed by the character at an effectiveness determined by that character's numeric attributes."


They pretty much changed the tag from MMORPG to MOARPG which honestly means nothing as the game was already and ARPG before hand

"Definition. Action role-playing games emphasize real-time combat where the player has direct control over the characters as opposed to turn or menu-based combat while still having a focus on character's stats in order to determine relative strength and abilities."

Roll playing is just that playing a roll in chat and in game behavior. An evil troll death knight and a good hunter elf. You would play your roll as your char and faction dictate. It was left over from roll playing board games. As to control of characters that has nothing to do with MMO or RPG just simply not turn based play. There is nothing massive about NW or is it a roll playing game. It is a simple multiplayer online action game or MO. LOL. Its still a pig no mater how you dress it up.
