Yes. OSRS reviews on steam are still listed as very positive.
Idk why you'd ever play it on RuneScape, it's like nearly unplayable without Runelite.
I wouldn't say unplayable, maybe less convenient? I get what you mean though
example: why play CG on hdos or the steam client when I can use runelite and have c engineer tell me "2..1.. mage/range" every few seconds for easier cycles lol
I’ve only ever watched people like Settled play the game but is tile marking even a thing in the base client?
Because I feel without that it’s a whole lot more than just less convenient
Nope, and I mean it's actually unplayable without Runelite. They other guy is missing out a lot of details, even simple stuff like increasing the render distance and using GPU rendering.
You're exaggerating. That's the point he was making.
The official client is totally playable. Lots of people use it. RuneLite is just a lot more modern and expanded.
I've actually never met a single person who uses the official client, it has so many things that are just required to play. Sure you can click and move like normal, but you're missing a massive amount of essential information and QoL features.
Remember kids, casuals, and people on mobile, plenty of the player base doesn’t use runelite but also doesn’t base their personality around a game from 2002 and talk about it all the time so you’d never know. I’ve played for nearly 20 years but almost never talk about it online and absolutely not in person. I’ve used runelite for a lot of that time but in the 00s I was on the browser with everyone else and played a fuckload perfectly fine
Uh yeah and the game today is very different then it was in the 00s. As much as I wish I was a 10 year old mindlessly killing goblins all day for next to no experience, people optimize their exp/hr nowadays, and that requires Runelite. Mobile is good for when you want to do woodcutting while on the toilet though.
YOU min/max your xp/hr, not everyone. Some of us just enjoy fishing on karamja and chatting or chopping some trees and talking shit in draynor or making deals at the GE. So many people that have gone into min/max mode assume that everyone does the same barrows run with them 40 times a day when that isn’t the case, the majority of us don’t care about 2/3 tick this or that or best t-bow drop rates, we just enjoy the game whatever way we want to enjoy it
I definitely don't think you speak for the majority here.
