Maybe Champion Online since half of the immersion is gone already due to the many other superheroes fighting alongside you.
Sure there is nothing wrong with that but last time I've check you never see 30+ heroes in one sight unless it is one huge event which the game doesn't provide most of the time.
Beside wouldn't it be more interesting to have the citizens and the establist heroes paid attention to you only (as the up and rising hero)?
Granted there should be some multiplayer since I do know superheroes can operate in tag up or part of a group.

I would have liked Dungeon Fighter Online to be a single player offline game, then I could still play it solo at least. I prefered solo for the most part but then then Nexon ran it to the ground and canceled it. I would agree with the Vinditus too, so I could just play the game with out dealing with Nexon BS.
Runescape. A game very deep,
with a lore you could drown in, different gameplay styles, the main character having complete reign of their development, and hundreds of different tactics you could employ.
If it were single player, there would be much more room for a more expansive lore, fleshing out of areas, ect. For example, the Kharidian Desert is an area open to you from very early on; it's also very high levelled, and all of its quests are painstakingly tedious. However, if you go out there, nobody's doing quests there. Same with the Wilderness, where are PVP is on and all enemies are hostile, even if you could kill them by staring at them.
And its fanbase are a bunch of stupid, sometimes even racist, stubborn wastes of human life (It is a British game).
Runescape would also be much more fun if it had a party system, as opposed to making conga lines that can get very easily seperated.

The Old Republic. Bioware are good at making singleplayer RPGs but Christ they cannot handle an MMO.
Basically I just want a KOTOR 3 really though.

That's precisely why I never got into ARR besides the beta. I always hate having to make groups for a dungeon.Dead Century said:
Though the fix is super simple, and would work for just about every MMO.
Have NPC's in the players party.
They could either be mercenaries that are hired when needed to people that are always with you or a mixture of both.
Frankly when playing MMO's that utilized a dungeon finder, the other players might as well have been NPC's and it wouldn't have changed anything.
It did? well shit, I wish I had known. The sub fee was I didn't really look into it much.shrekfan246 said:
I completely would get World of Warcraft and The Old Republic single player only games. I logged a ridiculous number of hours into both of them, but they both became NOT fun. Once it was just a grind with no story goal, I quit and loved myself for quitting. Later on, the journey in the opening areas in WoW were populated by people I did not want to socialize with. Just a straight up single player with no grind and no necessity to craft things? I'm in.
I was actually just thinking about this, about Team Fortress 2 (not exactly an MMO but close enough). I thought of a borderlands style fps-rpg, but since like, you're playing as a mercenary right? so every once and a while you'd get requests from npcs to go mercenarying somewhere (yes that's totally a word) like, taking hits on someone, stealing, stuff like that. seemed pretty cool to me

I dunno man. With all the lore that goes into EVE you can do quite a bit with it. The game wouldn't have to revolve around spaceships. You could do a third person game or something. With the thousands of planets, moons, and stations there is plenty of scenery to make up. There is more to EVE than the capsuleers.
Well, one of the benefits of an offline version would be not getting spammed by a 'grinder, who'll sell you in-game currency for real money.
agreed a single player version of EVE would remove so much of the negative aspects of the game (scammers, gankers, null sec alliance members and the feeling of upcoming war between them and high sec) the only problem is that by removing the players makes half of the game is pointless. Why bother mining and building items when NPC traders will supply it and you can get paid more for shooting.Ryotknife said:
Star Wars the Old Republic hands down. As it stands now TOR is one of my favorite games already but I also admit that it's mainly due to it's single player content(read: stories). Add to it the ability to save me game, try out mods, and best of all no fees and it might just become my favorite game period. Heck I'd probably enjoy it if they kept a lot of the multiplayer stuff, just make them optional modes.
Almost all of them, frankly. Most MMOs at least have pretty decent amounts of lore that can't quite be fully explored in that multiplayer persistent mode.
EvE has a super cool universe. At least Valkyrie might have a single player mode, that could be pretty damn good. ToR, of course, probably should have been a single player game to start with, or even 8 separate single player games. WoW has a huge amount of stuff that could be really explored in a single player setting.

I tried to play SW:TOR and I tried HARD to like it, even switching classes and trying again when I couldn't quite enjoy myself as the first one. But the combat... The fighting in that and so many WoW-style MMOs is just so incredibly boring! And that isn't even the worst part, the worst immersion breaker by far is the clusters of low-flying birds just hovering in the same spot for absolutely no other reason than to be farmable by passing players. Takes me right out of the moment, and I simply can't enjoy myself in such a world... I will never understand what fans of the MMORPG see in these games, but I guess it's good that they are there for others to enjoy... I just wish I could have a Star Wars game I could actually enjoy some day, cause it has been quite a while now X3.
I agree, and I'd love to play that game if it was a bit 'more' when it comes to the combat, which takes up a fairly large portion of the game. It's just the same as any MMORPG fight, terribly boring. Also it has quite the learning curve, and the most useless auto pilot I have ever seen X3. In the end I didn't last longer then a month before giving up on that game too D=.Caiphus said:
Definitely Star Wars: The Old Republic. My biggest problem was the MMO bits stapled awkwardly to what otherwise have ended up as a fantastic RPG with a ton of different protagonists to choose from (both good and evil). Really a pity.
Probably alone in this, but I liked Tera's asthetic, but the game was held down by all it's MMO Bullshit, in that it became boring and grindy as fuck.
The Old Republic. Loved the story aspects, but there's so much fucking GRIND to get to each one that I just couldn't be asked to put that much effort into the story.
