Oh yes, and you can play in single-player." Well, that sounds to me like the perfect excuse to see if it holds up as a single-player game! You know what I'm like with other people: I'm fine with them on principle, manufacturing things and driving buses and shit I just can't stand when they try to relate to you or ask you to stop making lampshades out of their flesh. "Yes, granted, smartarse, but the difference is, you have to come up with the grindy fetch quests yourself it's like self-flagellation, but with boredom.
Oh yes, and the gameplay is largely concerned with grinding up specific numbers of items all bloody day. So with Conan Sex-iles, Funcom are having another spin of the severely-unbalanced roulette table that is muhmorpuhguh development, so let's hope- "Excuse me, Yahtzee Croshaw of the Internet, but Conan Exiles isn't a muhmorpuhguh it's a survival game!" Oh, forgive me I got confused, 'cos it's a role-playing game, it's massively multiplayer, and online. Imagine my joy, then, to discover that Conan Exiles is bringing the wonder of the giggle zone to a new generation, and the opportunity rose for Thinderella to ride again! Although, after turning all the body sliders down to minimum, Thinderella was still rocking a monster booty, which was slightly disappointing, but then I suppose this is the nature of body types in the Conan universe: if your thigh muscles are only as big as medium-sized pool floats, you officially qualify for humanitarian aid. This was a privilege, you may recall, I immediately set out to abuse by creating the character of Thinderella, the Necromantic Naturist, and vowing never to constrain my giggle zones with earthly fabrics.
But massive online role-playing was a natural fit for the Conan universe, because where else could the gameplay capture the feeling of being strapped to a grinding wheel for twenty fucking years? L, O, and furthermore, L!Īge of Conan was a perfectly faithful adaptation in that there were a lot of deserts in it and player characters had the option of running around with their giggle zones hanging out like they were role-playing as a Boris Vallejo painting. You may remember the last time we here at Zero Punctuation shoved our critical periscope right up Conan the Barbarian's loincloth, it was for Age of Conan, quite a few years ago now, one of Funcom's many attempts at muhmorpuhguhs that went the way of all the others 'cos running a muhmorpuhguh is like having to share your house with an incontinent giraffe that's constantly injuring itself on the staircase and incessantly complaining to you about how the PvP is unbalanced.
