Probably because 98-99% of these mobile "MMO" games aren't actually MMOs. The only "interaction" you have with all of the other players is via leaderboards - which are generally tied intrinsically to whatever P2W systems these games have. Hell, outside of the leaderboards and cash shop/gacha systems (which require a connection so the devs can make that sweet, sweet P2W whale cash), they pretty much don't even have any online components at all. The only aspect of an MMO that they actually have going for them is being "massive," primarily because they are free and on mobile devices.

What if the worst MMO was the friends we made along the way

Requiem, it is an MMO that I do love despite it being so shit lmao. During the reboot last year, I ran a community discord for the game, and it was active for a while, we had direct communication with the team over at WarpPortal and tried to do our best in order to make the game a better place for new players I gave up on the game shortly after new years 2023, because the Community Manager that was assigned to our discord just kept changing, they changed 4 times in the span of 3 or so months. They said they would improve the game, and add better balancing, remove the OP end-game stuff, fix formulas, new gameplay, new engine, all false-promises tbh. I was hoping for a better delivery, but a little over a year later, they clearly gone back to the p2w tactics and selling everything for real money. Game-breaking exploits were not fixed up until a few months after everything flooded the market, day 1 release had a massive exploit where you were able to complete one of the agent's quests an infinite amount of time, and level up to max level on day 1. As much as I love the game, I gave up on it because after trying so much to communicate with Warpportal and their crappy staff, it was apparent they didnt give two shits about the state of the game, and went from 500+ players a day, to around 30 players a day in the span of a few months. the game was more alive back in january 2022 compared to now.

Idyl. My man. My guy. Buy an outlet cover. Its like, a dollar.

Really loved how Idyl read my mind about my response to "it's just the same thing over and over"

I can't believe Temtem wasn't featured.

The third MMO you played uses a very old, very "no longer used unless you want your game to fail" control scheme called "tank controls". They are, quite literally, how you control a military tracked vehicle ("tank"). If this is the first time you've met up with these controls, count yourself lucky. In the 90's they would positively ruin games with this control scheme.

@neoqwerty

6 ай бұрын

To be fair in the 90's tank controls either happened because they were cinematographic angle games where the tank controls were better than constantly running back and forth on a screen transition, or first person games that were generally nice enough to make the enemies just as clunky and slow as you, usually with a dodge/backstep option with indecently long invulnerability frames. This looks clunky even for me, and I've played Illbleed's prequel Blue Stinger.

@KerythDraws

5 ай бұрын

Tank controls have a time and place, that game is not one of them.

Honestly I would say try playing the GraalOnline family of games. They were originally a 2D online MMO similar to Zelda Link to the Past, they launched on mobile in 2008 making them much more accessible. Theres also different versions like one involving street gangsters and guns, and a futuristic server and an old west server. Its kind of a lot to take in but it makes for an interesting MMO case study

I got groomed on that game 😊

Literally watched this to see if these were games Josh Strife Hayes had played. The fact that you mentioned him at one point made me lose it. I felt called out. 🤣

Pro tip: If you make these videos it's really easy to get a sponsor from the steam refund department if you keep playtime to less than 2 hours (that's not that hard to do judging by these games) Keep on keepin' on Idyl

I hope SNHU sponsorship covers the cost of a new outlet cover ❤

Man, you pump out videos like I pump out...the ability to watch videos.

Idyl, I didn't like that thing you said at the end

That was a great video, but I just can't agree with your very last point. I can't believe you'd pull a switcheroo on me like that, I trusted you and for you to blindside me like that, and RIGHT AT THE END? Absolutely bonkers my guy.

I love how idyl is covered in oldschool light beam that schools used to show pictures or make our repreeentation with it before computer times (the think before projectors)

i cant get over the no outlet cover behind you lol

I don’t want to pick any fights but that thing you said at the end really isn’t that bad. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That thing at the end was efd up dude.

Ah yes, the ancient art of sudoku

Hey Mr. Josh Strife Hayes, I mean Idyl. Idyl, you should play Horse Riding Tales, it's 90 minutes of mining wood and 3 minutes of riding a horse. PS: That thing you said at the end of the video was very controversial.

i like to think the 'we are collecting the necessary equipment for the adventure' is actually part of the cutscene, and is stated dramatically by whatever god is narrating after every line.

The outlet without the plate cover really bothers me. How do I donate so you can get that fixed?

Great vid but what was up with that thing you said at the end?

I remember playing Requiem way back in the day. I wanted to like it because of themes and it had a hardcore mode that deleted your character on death, but it didn't hold my attention and didn't play that long.

WoW's default controls also have A and D as turn, and if you aren't holding right click your camera doesn't turn with your mouse either.

the lantern on idlyls forehead filled me with fear and dread

I played Requiem back when it came out, used to also be called Requiem: Memento Mori. I even have a video on my channel of me and a friend killing a boss. Anyways, I recall eventually being able to change into some kind of Uber Monster form at a certain level, so things did kind of change at later levels. Not by much though.

I'm like 90% sure World of Warcraft also has tank controls by default, only difference being I believe the camera follows the direction your character turns. Did have any options to change the controls?

13:27 This rant probably summarizes why WoW gripped me for so many years. WASD strafing + right click mouse camera, hoo boy... that set the gold standard for MMO movement to this day. I had friends that tried to get me over to Guild Wars from WoW, and it was made much harder by GW not having the same level of control. Gameplay is king, and movement is a huge part of that. Look at the hit platformers...

wasn´t wow at launch set so that you turned whit A and D, strafed whit Q and E. so you needed to change that yourself in the setting menu (think Blizzard changed that in Wrath). just a thing I remmber when I played wow in late vanila to early cata.

Your content is fantastic, I don't understand why your sub count is only 34k. Keep making broader video game content outside of OSRS and views will keep coming, your videos have fantastic quality to them.

My favorite part is the wall outlet missing it’s cover plate. Very spooky

IT LOOKED LIKE THAT HAT WAS TRANSLUCENT I was staring for so long like, "Is that the outline of his head showing through the hat??" No, in fact, it wasn't; it was a shadow, and I am a dumb.

you're a funny guy. I randomly got recommended one of your vids and subbed.

This is my kinda content. Get in the garbage mines!

Me watching in February and you saying its spooky season 👀 getting josh strife hayes vibes from video and prob why in my recommended lol

I can't believe you'd say something like that right at the end there! I'll get on twitter and canceling right away!

what was the game on the thumbnail, it kinda looks like a warframe character

I love the outlet with no cover plate on your wall. Props

What happened to your plug faceplate cover?

Idyl that thing you said at the end was really upsetting 😢

Woah man, I can't believe you said that about your patreons at the middle of the episode!

I like the part where you embraced the transformation and proceed to go "Full-Goblin-Mode" @ 3:00

The scariest thing in the background was the missing outlet cover 😮 good thing it isnt real and is just a projection though, right Idyl?

Realm of the Mad Guard and Dungeon Fighter Online were both around that time right?

I played quite a bit of Stein World in high school because it was the only browser MMO that was unblocked on the school computers and worked after flash's death. I got to level 17 before I stopped playing. I fully agree with the game's criticisms. It could be a really fun game, but the quests are repetitive and boring. Dungeons aren't much better either.

Another banger video 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 man I wonder if this guy also plays the classic rpg tabletop game DND and has a second channel for it 👀👀👀

If developers took a step back to consider whether their traversal mechanics were engaging before creating their game we wouldn’t have 90% of the open world games that have come out over the past decade.

that intro had me looking like your wall outlet

Damn, pretty sure that concerned ape has a pretty good case for IP theft on stein world. Just about everything in that game looks like its been ripped from stardew valley.

P2E is Play to Earn, like the games that claim to offer you Crypto or something you can either spend in the game or allegedly change out for some tiny amount of real money.

i used to play a lot of eudemons online, would love a review of that game and all of its exploitive tactics, it used to be pretty good

Idyl, that thing you said at the end was VILE. I'll never be able to support you again!!

I knew Stein World was going to be bad when it made a Runescape player quest....

“Requiem” was never good. I tried it as a horror-addicted middle schooler and it was just janky AF and not worth more than a 15 minute test play. It weirdly gave me the same feeling of playing “Shaia Online” and uh…well…”Shaia” wound up as another corpse in the MMO graveyard, so…

Worst MMO is 100% Aion classic now. Imagine killing mobs and getting no money because their solution to bots is to just remove gold from dropping off everything. It feels gross. On top of this they hand you a lv10 gold weapon which completely guts the player agency aspect of it.

gotta say this video was very cool but that thing in the end... geez man
