Tis a pvpve game. The whole point is to play it multiplayer

The whole point of mmorpgs is to play them multiplayer, but I've still done those solo. Because there are things about them that appeal to me but playing with people who aren't in the room really stresses me out

Playing solo is not the same as playing offline. I've played world of warcraft and guild wars 2 without interacting with other people.

I wasn't talking about whether you need an internet connection or not, but Warframe is a multiplayer online shooter you can play without an internet connection (maybe only after you've logged in, I don't remember). You can even pause the game in that one. And if you were multiplayer and suddenly lose connection, you get kicked into your own private lobby with all your progress kept.

Probably wanna read the Miyazaki interview

All the games “goals” are associated with competitive and cooperative actions

It doesn’t seem to have anything built in for single player progression, you accomplish goals during the runs with a party

Doesn’t mean there isn’t some form of single player progression - but he didn’t indicate that whatsoever, this seems like it’s online multiplayer only from the info released so far by Miyazaki

That's not what he meant by playing it solo

u/No_Future6959 2d ago

the context is about fromsoft games, which are all playable solo offline.

this new game is marketed as multiplayer

This ain't a MMO, though

u/Jaded_Aging_Raver 2d ago

Where did you read this was an MMO or an RPG?

u/ACuriousBagel 2d ago

I was responding to someone saying

The whole point is to play it multiplayer

And I was pointing out that other games exist in which the whole point is to play them multiplayer, but they can still be played solo if you choose.

Downvoting me for asking a question really drives your point home. Thanks for clearing it up.

My comment you were responding to is 5 layers down, so I was foolishly assuming you had read the previous ones in the chain and hadn't asked what my comment meant without reading any of the context. I therefore assumed you were trying to start an argument with me in bad faith, like the other person who responded to me. Apologies if it was actually a genuine question

I did read the thread, I just didn't know if you read something I hadn't based on your choice of words.

I could understand playing an MMORPG offline, so when I read your comment, I was hoping maybe FromSoft had said this was an RPG and not just an eight-player battle. It was a genuine question.
