- FriendlySimmers4 years agoSeasoned Aceno way to me the sims game must remain an offline game
That would a negative for me as I already play a MMO game called World of Warcraft. But even in that game, I am a lone wolf and would rather just be left alone to do my thing my way and have very little contact or socialization as possible. Yes, back when I started playing WoW just before Burning Crusade came out, I was in a guild and doing guild things with the other members. But over time, the guide just didn't grow and was disbanded when the Guild leader had to stop playing to take up a job to help with her family when the husband got laid off of work. I then just kept to myself with the exception of 1 or 2 other players until another player got all mad at me because he claimed that I didn't know how to play my Mage because I kept dying. So after that incident, I just don't group up with other players and when someone sends me an invite to group up to do the quests, I decline and go somewhere else to play until until they leave the area. I only group up with people that I know that play the game which these days is zilch since the hubby hasn't played WoW in almost 2 years. So yeah, I wouldn't touch a Sims MMO with a 10 foot pole.- ChadSims24 years agoSeasoned RookieI play Sims to build and create not to interact with others have we not suffered enough with the limitations of Sims 4 since they started it as an online game. Yeah no this does not look fun.
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/h2IPZDJ-pt0/maxresdefault.jpg - VWoodsong4 years agoSeasoned AceTwo things: First, the Sims series isn't about role-playing games (but some individual players do choose to use a somewhat RPG-like playstyle), so it would be a major departure for the franchise if their next main title were to suddenly be made into a role-playing game. I love RPGs myself and have enjoyed some MMORPGs in the past. But I have no interest in a Sims RPG of any kind (single- or multi-player). Secondly, if the next game were to be a non-RPG MMO, I would have no interest in that, either.
- SheriSim4 years agoSeasoned AceIt really depends, I like playing the sims rotationally, so I certainly want TS 5 to be like sims 4 in that way. If they have a good single player mode where I can play a good rotational game by myself, I don’t mind if they have another mode where you can play with other people too. If it’’s cross compatible with the play station I could play the game with my daughter, which would be fun for me. But, it would probably be a monthly subscription and I don’t really like that idea.
- Karamazov1234 years agoSeasoned AceIf it was an optional add-on to Sims 5, I'd try it out once to troll and harass people. You know, just have my sim constantly slapping others. But other than that, I'm not interested in a multiplayer experience for a game like The Sims.
- LatinaBunny4 years agoSeasoned AceI’ve played some MMOs, but still preferred the single player (and co-op) experiences more. I don’t want to play a MMORPG format, and MMORPGs usually limit customization and freedom, which is the opposite of what I want from a Sims experience.
- Magdaleena964 years agoSeasoned AceBeing someone who used to play a lot of MMOs in the past, I think I would give it a try. I don't think I'd be particularly active, though. The Sims is still very much a singleplayer game to me.
- LiELF4 years agoLegendI don't see the point, really. There are a bazillion MMORPGs out there that people can (and do) play already. The Sims games are popular because they do their own thing, part of which is being a simulator, not an RPG. I guess Sims Medieval could be considered an RPG and Sims 3 and 4 have occasional RPG elements (Into the Future and WA quests, Strangerville, Cottage Living, etc.) but to be honest, the only reason I didn't stick with Sims Medieval is because it was too linear to the game's story and not to mine. I like having some RPG to be optional but ideally prefer player customization and good simulation mechanics.
For Sims to become an MMORPG would be to change its identity completely, they might as well rename it altogether and kill off the franchise to go that route. - kukkahilla4 years agoSeasoned AceI played one MMORPG for years and, in the end, I think it's hard to find people who share your gaming style and it's hard to match your schedules. Of course how hard it is partly depends on the game as well. Anyhow, I very much prefer The Sims as it is. I love the freedom to play when I want and just for myself. I can take the story where I want and I can change it when I want.
I admit I have seldom thought it could be fun if I could play with my sisters in the same save at the same time, but no. It would also be a lot different and I'm not sure how it would actually work. I haven't thought it much and I'm not that interested in it.
