      Speaking of Red Dead, I just started playing RDR1 again today on Xenia Emulator on my gaming laptop. I still own my release month PS3 copy and the GOTY edition with Undead Nightmare on 360 but my PS3s and XB1S are all dead so I'm emulating it. It's been years since I've done a full playthrough of it.
      RDR1's world doesn't get enough love. It's not as pretty as 2's but it nails that lonesome gunslinger vibe of old Cowboy movies perfectly. It's a meditative experience riding through the areas of RDR1 while seeing the beautiful skies. Ut's also much more eerie feeling than RDR2.

Finding Skyhold for the first time literally took my breath away - wandering around in Skyrim is like being on vacation...with highwaymen and dragons.

      No game has come close to the mind boggling nature of oblivion to me when I first played it. The idea that I could walk from the mountains to the imperial city without any barriers, with a bunch of stuff to do along the way, was insane. I had never played an open world game before that, and it was also the first Xbox 360 game I had ever seen or owned. Absolutely mind blowing graphics, physics, world, customization, everything was so different and fresh.
      Suffice to say Bethesda studios open world games have been a favorite since but Oblivion and Fallout 3 were the most impressive and continue to be my favorites.

    Glad to see Dragon's Dogma getting more love. It's also the only game I've ever played where your characters body type effects the game - if you are too tall, you can't fit into certain areas, too short, you can't get to certain cliffs. The bigger you are, the more you carry and the smaller you are, the more fast you are.

I might go and do some other quests if I can be bothered. Got it on PS5 for cheap before the update and price hike. Right now I am knee deep in Jedi Survivor. Even then I put aside some of the challenges while I do other stuff and level up a bit more. Already at 76% in and put aside one of the main quest boss fights for the moment (I died so many times on Jedi Knight difficulty). Guess I am not a Souls type gamer.

Everybody loved me and had no idea that I waa the one pickpocketing everyone and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down lmao.
    Just remember, if you play this game, that everything gets better with experience. At the start everything is hard. Lockpicking and combat seem absolutely untenable, but with practice they become a total breeze, and you'll master the skills you put effort into, and nothing else.
    Also, go learn to read ASAP. It's extremely important.

    I spent hundreds of hours on the PS2 game Steambot Chronicles. While the game doesn't have anywhere near the same level of branching narratives like Skyrim, Fallout, or most of the games on this list, you could still do a lot of things and never have the exact same play through. For one, you had this little "personality test" at the start of every game, which determined things like how much money you could earn and how you would react in some scenes of the campaign. Then you had a host of options to choose from during many interactions, from playing the amnesiac as a nutjob who salutes everybody he meets to demanding money from everyone who asks you for a ride during missions. It got to the point that I had so many saves on a single memory card, with dozens of different sessions, that I ultimately had delete everything just to well and truly start fresh (and not eat up as much memory with the 40-50 different saves, lol)

    I always thought the Witcher 3 combat system was excellent! I never understood why it got hate, but I found if you use all of the tools at your disposal (i.e. signs, concoctions, potions, oils, etc.) and prepared, as I think the devs intended, it significantly improves rather than just using your weapons and occasional signs. I always just assumed the people complaining were doing just that.

    • @awdadwadwad1723
      @awdadwadwad1723 Před 6 měsíci

      It’s not because of the preparation, using your tools or signs, but because it’s super animation-heavy which makes it super clunky, as you cannot cancel or change most of moves, but wait every damn time until your move is executed, which is atrocious. That’s the reason why I beat it once and will never come back. Exact opposite and how combat system should be is Nier: Automata.

    I'm so glad you mentioned Vermintide in this clip. That game does not get enough recognition. I played it for hundreads of hours and never got bored even if it might be repetitive for some people doing the same maps over and over, yet is very challenging on legendary/cataclysm difficulty.

    I would definitely add Red Dead Redemption 2. You can just get so lost in how beautiful that game is. Riding your horse slowly along the prairie, up some hill to look out at the vastness ahead of you. Or ending up in a cave you never knew was there before. Also, Fallout 4 is easy to get lost in. There are so many buildings to explore!

    In the case of Skyrim, the modding community is huge factor that significantly extended the lifespan of this amazing game ( at least for me, I would probably not come back into it so many years after I finished it several times without mods).

      ​@bernardoheusi6146 Origins was the best game, but that doesn't make DAI a bad game at all. Origins wasn't nearly as big as Inquisition ended up being, and there's honestly a lot more content.

      @@thereallaw244 Though, some might say that a good chunk of side-quests isn't even particularly necessary to the overall plot of the game. Like the Hinterlands, there's an insane amount of quests in that area that it almost becomes a chore to complete them. I hope that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf brings back the heavy old-school RPG narratives and array of dialogue responses that Origins has while retaining the rich atmosphere of Inquisition's maps and cutscenes. I also hope they at least make the tactics more specific like Origins.
