MODERATORS
I tried SPT a few months ago (with additional mods) and it was enjoyable especially if you like tarkov. There's a mod which makes the maps connected, where different extractions lead to other maps. There's lots of things you can do to make the singleplayer experience better.
Although I've ended up playing the GAMMA modpack for STALKER Anomaly instead. It has what I look for in tarkov, and then some.
What's SPT?
Single player tarkov, the mod that the RPS article is talking about
NFS World come to mind, there is mod that allows you to play the game with emulated server (so you can play it offline). Also the community made an effort to recreate the client and restore the game by making community servers (alongside some added custom content).
Maybe MMOs that have custom client or simply localhosted emulated server mod count on this context.
Thank you so much for this, I had no idea, I played this a lot as a kid.
np, NFS World probably bit niche side of NFS even though there was EA Black Box involvement on that game, while the original World has MTX nature, the emulated server deletes them and convert them into the same in game currency that you won from events.
I keeping tab on NFS Edge restoration (Project Verge) as I never played them (It was China only iirc) and it seems pretty fun if the MTX part are gone, hopefully they can manage to replicate the success like in SBRW to allow custom community server.
I know it's technically not a mod but most older versions of RuneScape can be played "offline" by creating a personal private server. Everything from RSC to HDScape can have private servers but I don't think I've seen private servers for RS3.
Did cs2 have offline mode? I remember playing cs1.6 against bot, it's quite fun.
Yeah, it was called "Half-Life."
Yes CS2 has an offline mode.
It does, but no lab so far
Still super in progress and a genuine pain to set up last I checked, but grasscutter (name iirc) for genshin impact. I was hosting a server my friends and I played on and we just played in a gtfo gacha configuration. It's one of the few I know of being reversed while the game is still live on official.
I saw that some time ago but I remember reading that they didn't have enemy spawns and AI, something like that.
There were enemies the last time I tried it but they weren't perfect or totally accurate to any particular version of official. Quests were also really hit or miss and some required manually overriding as cleared. some public servers automated this but I couldn't find much on the procedures when I was hosting one.
Modders are almost finishing a private server for Dragon's Dogma Online, you can even host your own, enemy spawns were the newest breakthrough, but I couldn't take any quests.
Good thing is that there's a money cheat and every shop sells it's entire year stock, even collabs, christmas, etc. Anyway here's everything it does and how to get it.
That sounds wicked. Almost like it would be the preferable version for newcomers and hardcore fans alike. Even over the official servers if they are still up.
Omfg. Thanks for sharing this. Ddon is my favourite really generic fantasy game and I really missed the qol changes over dark arisen. I see there is still work to do but I'm likely going to be testing this out in the new year. I really miss the spell casting inputs, my favourite of all games with magic where I actually feel like I'm personally making the spell stronger rather than just minmaxing stats or charging for stupidly long ultimately reducing DPS.
Escape from Tarkov has a very good single player mod called SPTAKI
The article I linked with the post was about that. I still can't think of a lot of other examples though
Yep sorry, just read the post didn't check the link
No worries. It was a good recommendation
life :D
Local co-op games, or just strictly games that are multiplayer with an offline single player mode/main game story line?
I wish the devs would just fuck off and let us coop against bots with progression or let mods do it.
