Does it feel like an MMO?

[Bandy]

I hate the feel of MMO's, I gave ESO a try and cant stand it. Maybe you know what I mean.

Many say you can play FO76 solo, but if so, does it play like a solo Fallout game with survival mechanics etc. or...something else?

Thanks, trying to make an enlightened decision for my son and I who both love FO series, and always wished we could play in the same game world.

It is not an MMO, It is not M(assively), but M(ultiplayer) O(nline).
It feels more like a solo RPG with an online feature.

*Only voice chat
*No chat boxes
*A few random players on the map
*Persistent housing

I agree. As usual i confused the words MMO and RGP. Ist NO MMO because of to less players and no PvP, but its definitly an RPG Online Shooter.

Thanks for all your replies, I guess I should never have expected concensus from the steam forum, LMAO...

I get it is not Massively Multiplayer, that actually wouldn't make sense in a FO world after all. I just don't like MMO mechanics, or have to be honest, most of the player personalities that play those types of games, tho there are also terrific players that assist noobs.

For the price, maybe will take the risk for two game purchase, as mentioned coop with me and son...

Cheers chaps! Happy Holidays

You lose VATS by having it MMO.
MMO adds very little to the game so the trade-off isn't worth it!

You should be able to do it just fine online without any additional subscription (Fallout 1st), beyound initial intererst of established players (someone might come to you and try to help initially), you should be relativly left alone unless you search for the interaction.

Scrap is not as important (unless you are hoarder) as people seem to make it. I would suggest preparing yourself to work search for resources only when these are needed, throw out excees (like for example you won't even need these 4 thousand steel you get by just looting things, it all weights you down).

I think if you want to teach your son how to manage space (decision making) this game might actually do the trick, as it might give him opportunity to learn some skills (like perhaps trading? Resource managing?).

Other then that, this game is not even close to being MMO, there is no need to have consensus. There will be as many opinions as there is people. Once you realize that no dialogue with another person make sense, Butonce you settle up on definitions (and we have no definition of what MMO is here) there can be consensus done. So far people will interpret what you said on thousand ways and there is no actual dialogue present here. Simple as that.

Edit: Side fact, there is actually MMO Fallout, its a mod for first two fallouts made by russian community. Unlike Fallout 76, its actually fully hardcore and it is way harder to get in (especially if graphics is in question) so Fallout being MMO doesn't make no sense. It actually is suitable, but it has to be done correctly. As fan project it has place but it wouldn't work as a game. Let alone a lot of original Fallout fans (the first games back from Interplay era) wanted Fallout to be multiplayer to some degree, we can see it even effecting Van Buren (which was meant to already have it in 2004 if I am not wrong). First fallout multiplayer attempts were done in Tactics, if someone is interested, there is spiritual successor of it:

Feels like Fallout with multiplayer aspects, but endgame is pretty much all about the MMO activities like events and daily ops, there is a story which is basically your average Fallout campaign which can be completely singleplayer.

Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christ, you're literally the stereotype of a modern jew with that steam profile.

Hes right though and you're a racist. Try making a contribution next time if able.
