      I second this, greatest rendition of a fantasy story ever told in a video game IMO. Everything just comes together so well and creates a wonderfully integrated world.

      Same. Need to go back and finish Monster Hunter World, then the expansion pack. Going through Fallout New Vegas one more time to finish Lonesome Road, which is the one piece of content I didn’t finish back when it first came out.

    If you like Nintendo games:
    Splatoon 3
    Botw/totk
    Mario odyssey

    All of which are stellar games and all are in third person (mostly)

    Well Sleeping Dog definitely ranks up there, since after playing GTA games in American cities all the time getting to play in Hong Kong was refreshing. Getting to see vendors to buy pork buns from, driving on the left side of the road, and the melee combat was fun compared to always just shooting my way out of things.

      Your comment is so fucking funny if I don’t read the first two lines. (First sentence like: “Compared to playing in American cities all the time getting to play in Hong Kong was refreshing”)

        Haha yeah probably would have sounded absurd if there wasn’t any mention of games at all. Maybe I’ll do that next time.

      The best freedom was realizing the armor wasn’t doing that much to help me and it was just more fun to figure out the silliest outfit to kill bosses in.

    It’s a very uncreative answer, but Elden Ring is the biggest thing in my mind right now. A friend and I just finished a Seamless Co-op playthrough, I’ve got a couple different builds I’m also playing. I’ve hit a couple hundred hours. I just love the exploration, the setting, the art design, the way items contribute to build ideas, the boss design, the feeling of growth against adversity.

    The method of story delivery is also something that appeals to me. It’s carefully crafted, rich in lore and meaning, but it doesn’t care if you see it. It’s prompting you to pay attention and explore, you don’t just play between cut-scenes.

    Also Grim Dawn. Almost 1500 hours. I need help.

      Came here with the intention of mentioning Factorio as well. What really makes it next level, though, is the modding community and support for it. IMO the vanilla endgame is pretty quick, you can actually burn through the game with very limited resources and using very little space – and then you have modpacks like SeaBlock, which make complex machinery an absolute must, and make even basic stuff like power generation a proper challenge, to the point that a single playthrough will ultimately be at least a hundred hours.

      What Wube have created with that game is nothing short of marvellous.
