Interested, Ill wait a bit to see how well they incorporate the single player.

Very nice. I really liked the gameplay mechanics of this, but since it's only multiplayer I've had to refund it. But will definately be purchasing it again for the campaign. The mechanics are a very good recreation of the original fallout mechanics, but even better.

I was never interested in this before due to the multiplayer aspect, but I'll see what people have to say about the single player version when it's released. Who knows, if enough folks enjoy it, I might give it a shot.

Unless the singleplayer is standalone product, I'm not gonna touch it.
Sorry, but I refuse to support failed mmos with my $ just because wow there is some campaign inside while one is still forced to pay for mmo.
I mean, would be ridiculous I do it differently after I refused to care about WL3 mmo.

It's primarily a MP game but it's not an MMO by any reasonable definition of the term.

Does co-op gameplay make Wasteland 3 a MMO? How many players do you think means MMO?

I wonder if "two people" means a crowd or overpopulation for you?

Joxer doesn’t have a reasonable definition of MMO.

If 2 or more people can play it he’ll call it an MMO.

Not really, no.
There are games planned to be mmo that fail in being mmo but it doesn't make them less mmo. Noone or just one person playing those, it's still mmo.
A mmo does not need 56329892356356784 people to be mmo, it's the core design that makes it mmo, not the number of sold copies.

On another side there are games that add multiplayer posibility just as a gimmick, for example Saints Row 4. Did you ever see me calling Saints Row 4 mmo? Of course you didn't.

What about GTA?

joxer · July 25, 2019

GTA Online, the name suggests it, is mmo.

So that makes DA Inquisition MMO, right? It was designed as that.
Also does that make Divinity Original Sin 2 MMO?
On the other hand WL3 is designed as co-op and SP and not MMO, right?

So, do your decisions matter at all? Or is it just a series of set-piece battles?
