Cyberpunk 2077. I've been known to simp pretty hard for this game, but I do consider it to be one of the best games ever made. The story, the music, the acting, the gameplay, the visuals... Every single part of the game is just masterfully done. I feel it's one of those games that everybody should play; a sort of "milestone" game like Ocarina of Time or Skyrim. Even if you're not a fan of FPS or RPGs, it's worth turning down the difficulty and playing just to experience the best story ever told through a video game, in my opinion.

It’s a great story, and one of my favorites—I’m still replaying it. But I think the best story ever told through a video game is RDR2. But those are my two favorite games, so you really can’t go wrong either way.

+1 for RDR2. Probably the best game I've ever played, made me cry several times. 10/10

I was very much into the game but then came keanue reeves. I like this guy, but having a famous actor in a video game completely breaks it for me.

I was out and lost all drive but continued. I never fully finished it though.

The City and npcs are very well made though.

Exact same feeling for me

Unpopular Opinion: Cyberpunk is gameplay wise just a reskin of Far Cry

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I haven't actually played any of the Far Cry games, so I couldn't speak to that. But if they play anything like Cyberpunk, I might have to give them a shot!

Original Far Cry is pretty neat actually. It was an odd series where it went from "Large levels shooter" to "Flawed open world shooter with cool fire" to the modern "Go all over, climb towers for more map, and upgrade stuff" formula.

Like Crysis afterwards, it felt like a "tech demo game".

The original Far Cry was fun even though it feels VERY dated these days. The AI can be challenging, the weapons are fun enough, and about 50-60% through the game you start fighting ridiculously unbalanced enemies that frustrated everyone! :D But it's still good in the way a silly B-movie is good.

Better version of similar gameplay? Crysis. Crysis was so cool.
