The best farm animal simulator on Mac is turning into an MMO
Goat Simulator is one of the best games of the year -- no, seriously, you can waste a whole lot of time doing absolutely nothing as a goat -- and now it's getting a ridiculous update that is going to make it even more of a time-sink. This Thursday, the PC version of the game is getting a patch that will turn it into a multiplayer game, and not just a multiplayer game, but a multiplayer fantasy RPG. What a time to be alive!
Previously, Goat Simulator's main draw was just how absurd it was to run around as a goat, beat up some unsuspecting humans, and maybe get run over by a car or three. It's not clear how much the new update will change that, but from the video teaser released by developer Coffee Stain Studios, it's clear that the absurdity is still very much alive and well. Unfortunately, game designer Armin Ibrisagic tells me that the company doesn't currently have plans to bring the MMO update to the iOS version of the game, though that could change somewhere down the line.
If you're expecting anything resembling a traditional MMO experience here, you should probably revise your expectations a bit. There appears to be an XP system, and there are definitely character classes and a new Skyrim-esque setting, but don't expect it to give you a reason to cancel your World of Warcraft subscription.
