Hey folks! Back in the PS2 days I had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and besides the quests and stuff I also loved just driving around and going on little road trips and stealing planes.
And then in the PS3 era I had Just Cause 2, and the voice acting was terrible, and the quests were kinda dumb, but wow was it fun to just drive around and go on little road trips and steal planes. And your dumb little hookshot was nearly immersion breaking it was so unrealistic, but instead it was a ton of fun zipping through the air from 150 paces to kick a dude off his motorbike…
Anyway, I’m wondering what people’s opinions are on these kinds of games these days! I know Cyberpunk has some driving, but I don’t know if people enjoy cruising in it. I really liked Breath of the Wild, which is not really the same but had some screwing around times. I know there’s a GTA 5 which I never played but it’s probably good, I think there’s a Just Cause 3 but I haven’t looked into it. Some people love Red Dead 2, which I mostly bounced off of but maybe I was wrong.
Do you folks have any favourites in this “genre”? Things I should check out? Stories of worthless hijinks? Thoughts?
I just recently got Spider-Man on sale and I’ve not once used fast travel except in the tutorial because it’s too much fun swinging around the city. And there’s like 50 types of collectibles/ side missions to do while you’re fucking around.
Also you should definitely try Grand theft Auto v if you had that much fun in San Andreas
Yeah, I said in another reply I didn’t even think of Spiderman, but I actually have been playing the remaster of the first modern one, and I agree fully. It totally matches this vibe and it’s pretty great!
