Huh, surprisd to see SMT V is not make it to the list.

I find it interesting that Gmod almost touching 20 yrs and sfm still relevant to this day, there is always that guy who animates memes on sfm.

Fallout 4. The amount of world exploration and itty bitty stuffs almost makes me lost myself in exploration, even though the story can be really short depending how you progress the content. On my first playthrough, I clocked at ~90hrs of play time and only just passed the 1/4 of story progression just because I sucked in sidequest and exploration.

Never thought I enjoyed the base building and assisting settlements aspects, Bethesda did great job on Visual storytelling speaking as Interplay/Obsidian Fallout fan.

Another case is STALKER Anomaly mod which can gives you theoritical endless playtime as long as you creative to build your own CYOA Stalker story. Though I don’t recommend Anomaly if you’re looking for the STALKER lore (as they’re fan project) and should be treated as post-vanilla playthrough.

If you’re okay with demolition derby stuff, FlatOut 2, Ultimate Carnage, and also Wreckfest is decent arcade racer. FlatOut minigames also fun for couch play with 2-4 people.

Wrecking competitor is fun and you can set the difficulty as you wish.

Hmm, Black Flag doesn’t have cloud save. Atleast these achievements could motivate me for another playthrough…

EDIT: Checked steam, they also added achievements for AC Revelations. If other Ezio saga and AC Rogue get achivements too it’d be real treat as holiday is coming to motivate people play the game again🤔

Seconding to emulation, for open world RPG you may find a lot of them on older consoles like pre-Gen 7 consoles (PS3/X360). To OP, assuming emlation is compliant with law on your country, older games are great too if you don’t mind delving pre-2010s games.

Tbh this is first time I learned japanese being divided over mods. As stated on the written article, Capcom and Square Enix on Final Fantasy are those that “worried” by mods because they deem some stuff are too “over to the top”.

On Assetto Corsa for example Japanese players embrace modding because it is one of the only way to fully experience driving over real course like The infamous Shuto Expressway network that back in the day used for street racing.

The social element is introduced in Persona 3 however the school setting can be traced back to SMT: if… that also introduces the spin off series Persona (Persona 3 before the re-release P3FES was marketed with Shin Megami Tensei moniker).

No, however it loosely contain some elements of mainline games like alignment “Law vs Chaos”, multiple endings, and moral/motives. Full body expands the multiple endings a bit especially with the new character.

Now that you mention it, also no Synchronicity prologue, SH2, IV:A missing… Definitely this chart came before Persona 5 as it has the placeholder art instead of the released game cover art.

As long as the bare necessities is available e.g 14" with HDMI, 2 Type C with PD and DP Alt, MicroSD/SD card reader, smart card reader(?), 2 USB A 3.1, 1x 3.5mm jack, 1x ethernet port, kensington and easy maintenance, for me it’s enough. VGA connectors (dang those older projectors) can be handled with VGA to HDMI adapter.

My daily device is T14 G1 AMD with dualbooting separate SSD (M.2 WWAN slot used as SSD).

Funnily the Persona series deals topic that is closer to our day to day live (i.e Persona 3, Persona 4) compared to mainline/other megaten spin off series.

If someone wondering how big is the Megami Tensei universe (the series as a whole), this picture below probably the closest I can get. There are other pictures too but I guess this one is the one that have connection between the games.

EDIT: I remove the image link just to avoid the headache of the lore and consistencies.

Imo what I like from this series (especially on the main line series) compared to the other JRPG games is that the mythology portrayal, the mature themes and the battle of “Law vs Chaos” is that great and doesn’t shy away from source material. I couldn’t explained it myself but it is just something different than your average JRPG.

Oh and Megami Tensei almost always has banger OST if you all never played them.

Dunno but I can hear Louis, Ellis, Bill voice line “pills here!” when reading that line. It just ear worm thingy

The days when it was simple :(

“PUT DISPENSER HERE”

“Would you kindly?”

“Patrolling Mojave almost makes you wish for nuclear winter”

“ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ”

“Rise and shine mr. Freeman, rise and shine”

“Hey, you finally awake”

EDIT:

“I make my own luck”

(Several monologue from ezio saga and kenway saga is worthwhile unfortunately I couldn’t fully text it all :( )

“Guys the drill, go get it”

“Ahhh, I need my medic bag”

“Mission failed, we will get them next time”

“ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!”

“Engravings gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever”

“Boss, try to remember the basic CQC”

“The numbers mason, what do they mean” perfect response when someone suddenly pop in 6 digits nuclear code

“Victory can’t be achieved without sacrifice”

“The flags may be different, but the methods are the same”

For games, you’d rather use game repacks as they sometime provide smaller package for downloading. The most common one are dodi, fitgirls, though other repacker like el amigos, KaOs krew, Mr Dj also available. If you don’t mind ddl, cs-rin.ru and torrminatorr also available.

Avoid IGG-Games they have shady history in case you use public tracker.

remember rtfm! Megathread, wiki, fmhy are available so you can browse easier as provided by the community.

Nexus mods isn’t shady, they inform user regarding data breach. They provide mods and have been serving mods ever since pre 2010 I believe (registered myself on that site back in 2014 ish).

Maybe slightly off-topic, I recommend to use Viva New Vegas guide as based on my testing the game is more stable and suitable base for modding up your New Vegas install, however also check out every mods you are going to install especially older mods pre-2018 (for me) as they sometime aren’t optimized which may makes unstable issue with the game. Hope you enjoy the New Vegas!

Nice idea but unfortunately good luck convincing everyone to collaborate into single super-game and integrate each “X simulator” as DLC assuming everyone also adhere guideline and consistent
