Open World Games
What are your favorte games? And on which platforms?
I prefer PC gaming for a few reasons - I much prefer mouse and keyboard to a controller, and I spend the majority of my day at my computer anyway. I still have a first gen PlayStation (favorite back in the day was MediEvil), had a Wii (long ago yardsaled), and have a Playstation 3 that I haven't used in years. On PC my current favorites are Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, The Last of Us, and ALL of the Far Cry games (tossup between Far Cry 5 and New Dawn). Just read the Elden Ring DLC "Shadow of the ErdTree" will be released on June 21, super excited for that. Let's hear some of your favorite games, for which platform(s), and what makes them so good in your opinion?

Just got the Shadow of the ErdTree DLC ... bummer though, savegames are not compatible, so you have to start a new game, and, you can't access the new realm until you defeat Mohg... been playing a couple hours and already leveled Vigor to 25 lol

I always play on PC.
Witcher III is probably my favorite. I love the Horizon games and the story. I'm about half ways through Forbidden West. My only complaint is the respawn, it should take longer than it does. Fallout 3 and 4. I was really let down by Starfield. I was hoping for open galaxy with all sorts of things to explore and do, but I got bored fast. I dig Cyberpunk, but it's too "busy". After hours and hours of play I still can't remember the map. American and Euro Truck Sims. Sometimes it's fun to just sit down and drive.

Elden Ring is always on my list of game I want to try but my backlog is far too big to tackle it yet.
Currently, I'm on Red Dead Redemption 2. Taking my time with it because it genuinely is a marvel of world building and character design |

I bought Elden Ring, played it for maybe 30 minutes, and uninstalled it. I don't think it's the game. It's me. I've played so many games since the start with the original Atari 2600 and Adventure, along with Treasure Island, Adventureland, and Poker on a Vic-20, it just grew from there through an Atari 400 and 800, three Amigas, and finally when Doom 2 and C&C came along, I had to get PC. I'm just too lazy and jaded now. I'll watch videos of people playing Elden Ring and think it looks so good, but then just lose interest when I think of playing myself. The last open-world game that really hooked me for hundreds of hours was Fallout 4 I think.. so quite a while ago. Dragon Age Origins was just fantastic, but I hated all the sequels. Not sure if that was another case of me just getting tired of gaming or the games legitimately sucked... or both.
I still buy and try games all the time, trying to find one that will occupy my time. Been playing Satisfactory lately... not necessarily an RPG, but it is open-world. Oh, I will say Valheim impressed the hell out of me, though. I eventually grew bored with it, but it did keep me going for quite a while. It's a bit too much an action game for my tastes; I'm too lazy nowadays to master the perfect timing for a riposte or whatever. |

Confused about the save game thing though, you can use your pre-DLC character in Shadow of the Erdtree. Is there some issue with the PC version? |

Subnautica is worth it for open world.
Previous characters should be able to access the Elden Ring DLC, mine did (PC). As long as you have defeated the two required bosses. Quote:
Dark Souls 3 is modern enough and much more linear than Elden Ring. Careful, Satisfactory is an unbelievable time sync (over 900 hours here). You'll probably like 'Dyson Sphere Program'. |

I beat Mohg without going to the Mountaintops yet, but I'd farmed a lot and I'm at level 258 LOL |

I really enjoyed Dark Souls but I ended up using a souls exploit to build up my character. Honestly, I got lazy and just didn't want to "get gud," but I was pretty far along by the time I started doing that (was around the same place as the painting world.. I can't remember what it was called). Never played DS2 or DS3. I just figured I'd suck at them, too. I did play Bloodborne and managed to button mash my way through that, but it was not pretty. Great game, though. I do have Dyson Sphere, but I just never could get into it. The curvature of the world and controls really bothered me. I can't remember if it was early access, but if they had an option to "flatten" the world, I'd have probably been good with it. The curvature was just too pronounced for me and messed with my head. |

Yeah, Subnautica can be frustrating when you can't find something, the map mod helps a lot.
Not exactly great at souls games either, just grind my way through. Elden Ring is more difficult than DS3, the DLC is much more difficult. Yeah, hear you on the round world. I found Dyson less grindy late game, as it's easier to build up new factories for increased production. Satasfactory 1.0 will be out in early September. |

Coming back to this thread to add Metal Gear Solid 5 into the mix. Even if you're unfamiliar with the series, this game is a masterpiece in open world gameplay and I highly recommend it. To this day, no other open world stealth game has hit this level of immersion and fun for me.

Starfield is entertaining for a while. Once you beat it and start over, it gets old quick. I'd love it if another Fallout came out soon. I'm not big on online gaming, I'm a little old school in that way. I played Balder's Gate 3 recently having never played a game of that type and I actually enjoyed it though not really my genre. I got most of the way through it before I had enough.
