Watching streamers i really do not understand what they charge 50$ for

[soul like that be capable of]

literally all you see is people running over map . nothing to do besides camp here and there. no real objectives .
tbh what they worked on all those years.

what selling point here . running in same texture desert to pick up flowers to get water . is this real MMO selling point . AI look terrible .

That's the early game; running across the map, building your base(s), gathering resources. There's story missions to do further in.

You probably think that the game would be an MMORPG. It's not, as it's just an MMO from a vastly different subgenre. Planetside 2 is an MMO too as all kinds of games can be MMO's, but games like WoW and Final Fantasy Online are MMORPG's.

This is not an MMO. Funcom can keep calling it one all they want. But they did the same thing with Conan Exiles. It's an open world survival crafting game. There's nothing massive about it. PS3 games like MAG held more players on 1 server.

This game does have an actual MMO element to it, unlike Conan Exiles. It's found on the Deep Desert map, since it hosts hundreds of players on the same server, about 900 if I remember that right.

People keep saying this and yes, theres story misions but i think you v much over stating how much of the game it is.

All in all solo it took me about 90 hours in my first playthrough to get to endgame with an ornithopter, in total the story missions including the cutscenes are at most 30 minutes of that 90 hours.

what the OP see's is the game, running around, then you replace running with driving, then driving with flying and you have the game play loop. i'm not saying its bad, far from it, but its a standard survival crafting game with a dune theme. grind resources, build, grind resources, upgrade build.

how many players is considered as an MMO? What is considered "Massive"?

Waaaah Waaaah I can't accept that this is a MMO. 750 people on a server isn't enough. Waaaah Waaaaah.

It's not only player count but server structure.
If all the Hagga Basin maps would each be unique and placed one near another, with players being able to mix randomly as they explore, it would be a proper mmo.
As it is here, is something else.

People have silly ideas about what makes a game a MMO, when they don't understand what that actually means.

Massive Multiplayer Online. As compared to a singleplayer game which are usually offline.

This game hits those meanings all three of them.

You have a large number of people logged in at the same time even if you may not run into many of them in the starter zone.

Bro, you aren't even bringing up the right cons here to actually discuss the game. See, the combat looks absolutely abysmal. The open world looks fine, and yeah, gathering plants and blood from corpses is basically Dune which is what people want, but the combat is an INTEGRAL part of the lore and the combat looks very... lacking, to say the least. Even MORDHAU has more complicated combat, and that game is from 20 friggin 17

EDIT: Oh, 2019!!! Still, I digress
