What MMO Gaming PC games do you like/play?

Ok.. and this looks looks interesting. Do you currently play? Does it have a stand alone that is free to try out?

I bought it a few weeks ago and now I'm trying to beat all the campaigns on expert with my friends. You can play it however you want, whether that be solo, co-op, or goofing off. Either way the game always feels fair and the game leaves me impressed on how it balances the difficulty for many situations.

It costs $10 but when it's on sale it's usually about $2

@fattymeatysardine Hello Ferrit Master lol... or is that a possum? At any rate... How many play, and are you/your friends, looking for extra players? I gather this is Left 4 Dead version 2?

It's a Japanese mouse ニホンヤマネ that hibernates.
Anyways, it's up to 4 players but we're tackling expert so a new player wouldn't be ideal.
And Left for Dead 2 includes the levels from 1; it's an upgraded version.

So if anyone wants to 'initiate' me... lol... I am a rather intense study.

I'm curious, what sorts of games/genres are you looking for?

Like at this point there's just... there's so many. I look at my profile on Steam and I've got like 873 games on there, it says. And that's just modern games available on PC. Retro games, which fill half this PC's hard drive, is probably over 16000 at this point.

Note thought that some types of games are missing from some spaces. For instance, AAA games (the big budget ones) are comprised entirely of investor-safe releases, so almost all genres are missing from that group. AAA games are mostly shooters and... uh... uhhhhhhh... something. Open world games, that's the other one, they like those. Things like Assassin's Creed and whatnot.

Anything other than super-safe releases are going to be found outside of that group. AA or indie. There's occasional exceptions, most of which seem to be released by Capcom or FromSoft (Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Dark Souls & Elden Ring, from those two publishers), but usually that's the rule.

I usually can come up with suggestions for things to try out, but it depends. I usually avoid AAA games due to their tendency to release all buggy and unfinished and with WAY too many stupid cutscenes (also I dont like FPS games really, which is half of AAA games at this point... not too fond of "open world" games either come to think of it) so I have zero suggestions there, but anything else, chances are I can come up with some ideas.

Probably not for multiplayer games though. For me the only real exception to the "I'll do it myself" rule is fighting games, which are pure 1 on 1 PVP, which I guess is what makes it okay for me. I do know those very well. But other multiplayer focused games, no. I might know that a given one exists, like I've certainly seen Arc Raiders and whatnot, but beyond the name and type I usually have no details on them.

Chances are though I'll be much too familiar with Monster Hunter before too long. That's the one my friend keeps wanting me to join him in, and I did used to play the older ones way back when... feh. So I guess there's that one. I'm rather doubting I'll actually stick with it though. It looks way too easy to hold my attention for very long.

Name your favorite MMO and tell others why you like it...

If you don't know what that is (no worries-read on): An MMO is a Massive Multiplayer Online game is a genre of online video game where thousands of players simultaneously inhabit the same persistent virtual world, interacting, cooperating, or competing with each other. Key features include large-scale player interaction, character progression, and ongoing, evolving game worlds.

I have only tried four and then stayed with Pantheon which is in EA stages at this point. I like that one best so far, but am open to other games as long as they are playable on my gaming PC. It's pretty cool. I am open to mentoring/friending people on this game, and love it when others reach out to me as someone did, with another game to try (like a friend did with Monsters & Memories).

I have also tried these:

I tried out WoW very briefly. I put in almost a week and found people to be rather uncivilized, rude and/or younger on that game. One asked me to group with him and when I followed him he purposely jumped over a ditch, which I following him went into, and way down into a monster cavern, with no way out, as he laughed... and kept taunting me/my character as I realized it was futile to fight off the never ending monsters in that pit. That was the final straw for that game! So happy I didn't invest any funds in it and it was merely the free version ha.

GW2 was ok, but lacking connection, people are not actively seeking guild members or to help/mentor you in that game as per my experience. That one I might go back to if I. had buddies to play with. Like I said the connections are important draw to gaming for me!

Monsters & Memories, tried with a friend, but it is available in spurts (free) due to that current development stage.

Then again there is Pantheonmmo, which has a nice community. The most fun I had was when I organized play sessions for friends. I have toons (characters) that I have developed from lower levels all the way up to mid 35ish. I'd be happy to introduce others here to it!

Does DCS count? I am still learning the game, it is very difficult. I have not flown with other people yet. I have in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. My friend and I fly places.

I am not sure which games are MMO. If they are where strangers play, I would not do that. I get tricked easily and people make jokes using insults that I guess people are not bothered by but upset me.
