Goat MMO Simulator: Oh God What

Goat MMO is an added feature to Goat Simulator, a third map with its own special achievements. It comes with several new mutators—-some presented outright as the MMO's classes (Tank, Rouge, Magician, Hunter, Microwave, N/A) and some as things to unlock. The whole thing is a parody of many parts of MMOs, especially World of Warcraft.

Now that the dry bit's out of the way, onto the real review: this is really stupid, even more broken than the rest of GoatSim, and as such it is a wonderful addition. The quests are mainly a) fetch quests and b) really, really dumb (bring a guy butter, bring apples to a guy who is 4 feet from said apples, etc). Some are exceptional: there's a quest that appears to involve licking 10,000 things, a quest that seems to be broken due to quests not tracking between sub-areas, and a quest you don't actually know the terms of because the questgiver is a mermaid and speaks entirely in GLARRR BARRBLBB RBLAREB.

Which brings me back to the point about the lampooning of MMOs—-the mermaids (fish with legs) are Murlock parodies. The elves are all fetish hippies. There's a quest that involves killing "bears" (guys in bear fursuits). All the while, a "chat" window scrolls through basic terrible MMO player chat, and at first you could be forgiven for thinking you might really be in an MMO full of blatant trolls.

If I have any gripes, it'd really only be with the one quest that doesn't work because of the inventory-between-sub-areas thing—-not sure if that's intentional or if it's a thing that'll actually be fixed. Either way, if you like GoatSim, you'll probably like GoatMMOSim.
