Well the MMO aspects. It is now single player game with optional co-op.
Nothing against single payer games. I just love me some MMO/MMO lite games.

But could it not still be the exact same game except without a server requirement?

You are asking if it could be same experience as an MMO-lite without being online. Think about it.
Core gameplay will stay, yes. And sounds like they changed quite a bit. But if you were promissed an MMO-lite and are getting a single player game…
I hope that it is notnthe exact same game but offline, because it will not hold up. There are different expectations from a MMO and single player game.

No, I’m asking if it could be the same experience without running it on someone else’s machine. V Rising does not have an online requirement, but you can play it online on a server you control, perhaps even the same machine you use to play yourself, with up to like 60 players. Destiny is an MMO lite, is it not? For the most part, you’re only playing that game game 3 players at a time too, just like this one. Is there something that the game was already doing that it won’t be able to do now that it’s peer to peer?

No more matchmaking/lobby’s. No more in-game store/MTX/battle pass Only solo/peer to peer/local game.
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 years ago
No, I meant things that people would miss. I guess matchmaking fits that bill, but we’ll have to see what it looks like outside of direct invites once this new version exists. Each platform provides free matchmaking services, so I’d be surprised if it didn’t exist at all.
