/v/ - Video Games

GTA San Andreas was an odd Western non-RPG non-fantasy example of a game that gave me a sense of adventure, people shit on its storyline but it had a good atmosphere of an adventure with the whole plot of going from city to city while visiting the countryside in between, I expected that out of V but sadly there was only one city and a boring countryside map that was underutilized and open entirely from the start.

Dragon's Dogma does a great job of making its small world feel a lot bigger. Smart quest design/game design means you ideally spend a couple hours in the first area and then move on to the city.

The Etrian Odyssey games. Also the Trails games, while not really having a lot of traditional adventuring, for some reason give me an adventuring feel. Probably because you get to go all over a country and see the different cities and explore. Legend of Grimrock, mostly the second. And Okami of course.

>people shit on its storyline

>Game has extremely memorable characters that people endlessly quote more than a decade after its release

>Game spawned memes that only became more enjoyable decades after release

>Story has really great character development and keeps you interested throughout

>story ends in a very satisfying way

Why would anyone complain about GTA San Andreas's story?

Well deserved retroactive hate for all niggers.

>Well deserved retroactive hate for all niggers.

the main character in San Andreas is great because he's clearly a poor black person who's dumb ("I don't need to go to no college to study no accounting") but he's extremely likable and has some of the best dialogue in the game. The character doesn't feel forced or fake like most ethnic characters do today. Rockstar was really great at writing ethnic/minority characters who were really likable. (See Niko Bellic.)

did we play the same game? CJ is the worst GTA main character in the entire series. He's unlikable and boring, a whiny bitch.

It's mostly IV obsessed autists who hate everything that isn't overly dark and brooding. And IV was pretty damn good, flawed but it was like a pretentious art film with admirable qualities. I've yet to see a video game city as detailed as IV's Liberty City.

>if I keep insisting the whiny bitch that is CJ is interesting without any counter-argument it'll become true

No, it will never be true. Throughout the entire game he's a demotivated faggot with no interest in achieving his own goals, complaining at every turn, and practically just having solutions to his problems be dropped in front of him. He has no drive to succeed and barely even knows what he wants. He's a cuck and every word out of his mouth is a dripping faucet of stupidity. This is coming off of a motivated, pissed off asshole who wants to take over an entire city, a smart talking dickhead who generates jealousy from his partner and has to deal with real problems from his past. Someone who starts with almost nothing and builds his way up through a system pitted against him.

Far more interesting than a faggot nigger who gets bullied by the cowwupt poweece and gets all his solutions dropped into his lap. He's a fucking busta.

>still the best high seas swashbuckling adventure game of all time

Why aren't there any good pirate games boys? Why did it stop with Sid Meier?

GTA San Andreas just didn't click for me. I'm not American, I'm not black.

imo if you like adventure games you could try solus project

>>14679068

There's the Sea Dogs games, right now playing Age of Pirates 2 and it's great.

>>14676986

Another JRPG with a great sense of adventure is Grandia, the game begins with the protagonist, who lives in a world where everything has been explored, deciding to go on an adventure to the literal end of the world, to see if there is anything beyond that. Along the way he meets all sorts of characters and has all sorts of hijinks, like stopping a forced marrage or exploring a ghost ship. When he finally scales the wall at the end of the world, he finds out that there is so much more beyond that.

Hell, even the main theme screams of ADVENTURE.

Try Port Royale 2, not really a pirate game but it allows you to play as a Privateer.

I remembered this game being a great example of adventure-filled vidya. There will be a new version soon.

Hollow knight.

I just want some detailed boat sailing mechanics at LEAST Sea Of Thieves level but with the big ass world like Pirates. Also the sword combat wasn't good in Pirates.

Someone needs to make the ultimate pirate game with realistic swashbuckling, shanteys and tunes, lots of adventure with crazy islands and dungeons, custom ships and good sea combat. Has to be multiplayer of course.

(((W)))RPGs are about pozz, not adventure.

Dragon Quest 7 nailed the feeling of an epic journey. All of the Ghosts n Goblins/Ghouls n Ghosts games gave me that vibe as well, which is strange for a platformer.
