are there some games you play just to drive/walk around and enjoy the environment? I don't mean walking simulators but games that have a good environment on top of other gameplay

It has good atmosphere, but in terms of actual things you can find there are far better options out there

I wanna drive around the wasteland though

That's why I said it has good atmosphere user. It's not a bad game at all, just doesn't have many POI's, if you like driving around in a big desert then that's fine

Came to post this. As a game I was overall disappointed, but I did have some pretty good times just wandering, and enjoying myself.

Neat. Now beat the shit out of them and steal their dog food

>is an experience
Doing anything is an experience you blithering retard.

I load up battlefield 1 maps solo turn off hud and go hiking

When will Cockstar release it on PC. I'm sick and tired of 30fps and mediocre graphics, and no mods.

It's been almost a year and they haven't said anything, so I'm guessing never

>It's been almost a year
Has it been that long already?

It came out in November, we're at September now

Look, I realize PC graphics will be better quality but if you can honestly quote that image and call it mediocre there is just no hope for you. You have been poisoned, likely by Yea Forums to be forever an unhappy tired gamer.

I bought a PS4 partly for this. Especially when you get the thunderstorms on the plains the level of immersion is amazing. Too bad it's ruined by controls that make you feel like you are in a straight jacket.

The Division has one of my favorite environments ever. Walking around snowy Manhattan listening to the NPCs go about their lives just feels so alive even if you run into the same random event a few times. Then you enter a safe house from being in the snow and it feels actually safe and warm.

I wish they had just kept expanding it instead of making 2.

Yeah I loved how the city felt. Maybe if I had friends I wouldve actually played the endgame content.

I'm probably the only human on earth who wasn't disappointed by RDR2 at this point, then again I didn't have any expectations to begin with because I didn't play RDR1 as I skipped 7th gen.

as a yakuza fan I will not give up on a pc port to red dead 2 after a single year.

Nothing beats GTA SA for me in those terms but I don't think that's the answer you were looking for.

New update sounds fun honestly. I really loved the ambient world events in rdr 1 and if this is close to that I may play online a fuck ton. So bounty targets is already a godsend

Im most interested in them saying the combat will be less centered around headshots. It's super frustrating the way it works now, i hope it gets better.
Also these screenshots look so much better on my tv. I made a twitter specifically to easily upload them and post them on here, but they look shittier and blurrier. I'm too lazy to do some USB bullshit.

I have no interest in PvP so let headshots be whatever. I hope they don’t change for the ai enemies. I’ve been waiting for infinite bounties since the game released tho - I’m still pissed that the campaign bounties were glorified side missions that you would expend and run out of.

The problem is when it's in motion.

Stop being delusional. As someone who has all consoles and a gaming PC, RDR2 exploration will forever be a blurry, 30fps mess where you can't even look to the side while riding from the fucking blur. It's just not a pleasant game at this moment.

I was going to ask at some point if there's any game like Euro Truck where you just drive around real environments but in a car instead of a truck.

I played it on my dads fancy pants 4k tv and it was blurry. Im playing it on my old "flat" screen tv and its not blurry at all

too bad it's ubishit

Looks even better tbqh

Just because the TV is 4k doesn't mean the game will render in that resolution

Saint's Row 2.

Skating or riding a bike around Bully's Bullworth is comfy fun too.

Is this Origins? That was the first one I'd played since Black Flag and yeah, the environments were fucking killer. Wish there were more dope Egypt games.

If they made it a game where you just fucked around with your buddies and slowly worked towards a peaceful resolution while fighting some monsters on the side, it would have been a somewhat new change for a Final Fantasy game and people might have actually enjoyed the effort they put into things like fishing and driving.

I'm sure that's intended.

Outer Wilds, Ghost Recon Wildlands. Honestly I would like a tourist game where you can customise your character and drive/bike/fly to places and do cool activities like surfing, skiing, base jumping, visit historical sites and shit. Basically real life but it costs only $60 dollars and I don't have to be me. Honestly in Wildlands I sometimes took a minibus and travelled through the mountain areas imagining I was with friends in Bolivia.

>gta v
>get enduro bike
>first person

I check weekly GTAOnline when there is an active dripfeed to drive and fuck around in general. I know they are bootleg recreations of real cars but they are still fun to drive.

Also Garry's Mod. I like to build my own vehicles and test them out, from vanilla tools to advanced stuff, and there are countless of maps to drive.

apparently all the good endgame content is part of the DLCs

yep

Attached: Witcher 3.webm (650x360, 2.97M)

oblivion

oof

This, but mostly because of the trains. Riding trains in that game is peak comfy. Also buses in Mafia 1.

Fallout 4. The game itself is not too good. But, I am a huge post apocalyptic fan and that is the only thing Bethesda did right.

I used to enjoy pissing cops off and start a runaway towards the forest and try to find a cabin or a construction site to stand my ground there. GTAV has better graphics but for some reason I didn't care much about anything.

On one hand it is, on the other the more you explore the more blatant the copypasted assets become. There's only so many times I can see the same building or statue and suspend my disbelief.

they did post apocalyptic better in 4 than 3?

The most maddening thing about FO3 was that it would have worked so much better if they just placed it earlier in the timeline lmao.

But what about Comrades? Not only did I do all the side quests, I also did a lot of hunts and I've beaten the boss in Comrades, at least the initial one, I don't know if they added more bosses there. All because the world is peak comfy.

The world I meant.

max comfy

Attached: fire.webm (800x412, 3M)

For me Just Cause 2 was the king of this. Navigation was great, environment was huge and varied, and it was just fun to zip around and look at the landscape.

Their later games haven’t come close. Mad Max wasn’t a bad shot at it but obviously they didn’t have as much to work with.

Yakuza is the obvious one, just wondering the streets doing silly side missions is some of the best most comfy experience known to men. I especially like the indoor environments in Kiwami 2 where you can look outside. So comfy

Which space sim is the best for comfy immersion? Still have Elite on my backlog, but a lot of space sims came out since.

Watch Dogs 2 is great for that too, but I prefer the silicon valley region of the game. It's very comfy somehow. The city not as much.

Don't know if that fits the discription but I love the maps in Driveclub. Just drive around them from time to time in a non competitive way, very comfy. Used to enjoy PGR maps the same way. Especially with the rain turned on

The first game was better in that way.
Snowy newyork was way more comfy to walk around in than spring DC

OK, jokes aside, the EA Skate series were fantastic for this, anywhere you free skated you could find new spots and cool shit.

If we're talking about a Tony Hawk game, Pro Skater 3 had probably the best maps for this

theHunter Call of the wild
You can hunt animals in different settings, drive with ATV's or just walk around chilling.

Attached: 20190103233528_1.jpg (2560x1440, 620K)

Tony Hawk's Underground

Fuck yeah. Skate 2 was the peak for this

It's Elite Dangeresque imo. Nothing beats sitting just inside a sun's corona scooping fuel, having your cockpit lit up by the glow whilst there's no-one else around for literal lightyears for pure comfy imo. Might not be a truly great game but it sure is an awesome cockpit simulator.

Is this the game with the game map that is like a gorillion square km?

GTAIV and V, Witcher 3, Skyrim (heavily modded), Fallout 4 (heavily modded), Mad Max, Horizon Zero Dawn (especially that one overgrown city ruin with the big brachiosaur robot patrolling around), Breath of the Wild.

A part of me kind of hopes that the campaign in Halo Infinite actually ends up being full open world because it would be kind of comfy to be able to explore a Halo ring at my leisure.

Just have to get good

I still get on to play that survival mode for this reason. Exploring solo or with a low player count is extremely atmospheric. You just craft, shit on actually pretty tough NPCs, and slow your permanent infection until you can extract. It has HEAVY snow weather so in some places you can't see more than a foot in front of you, you have to manage temperature by staying inside or near fires.

Did they eventually patch John being a skinny rake no matter what you did?

I really liked walking through the map in The Division but the game itself is so fucking boring.

FO4 with the FROST mod is nice to just dick around in.

I hated RDR because it felt like a watered down GTA to me, although I did enjoy a few segments like the famous riding into Mexico. RDR2 was fantastic though. I'll probably never forget rolling through those hills in first person on horseback and seeing a rainstorm just slowly wash over the area I'm in.

Its ELITE Dangerous.

I liked RDR1 since it was fast and fun with collectables but RDR2 seems boring to me.

Witcher 3 by far. I spent hours and hours wandering around just admiring the scenery alone. I think Novigrad is one of the best RPG cities ever, with a good amount of effort into refraining from copy/pasting buildings. Toussaint in the Blood and Wine DLC is one of the comfiest outdoor settings ever.

>Novigrad is one of the best RPG cities ever
I sort of agree, but it bothers me how little you can interact with that fantastic looking city. You can't talk to the NPCs, only a handful of them that are involved in the main story, or some sidequests that are quite few considering how large the city is.
Even though you can explore everything in 3D, a great deal of detail was put in everywhere, I can't really feel I'm part of it, I still feel Athkatla for example much more alive and bigger, even though it isn't.

Sleeping dogs

I still say that if you took Sleeping Dogs, threw a green filter over everything, and put the characters in black trenchcoats and sunglasses, it would be a fantastic Matrix game.

GTA5, but roleplay as a street photographer. Comfy as fuck taking the time to soak in the atmosphere and capture the best shots.

On the other hand, the “normal” way of interacting with NPCs and shit in a RPG is pretty damn weird. I mean I live in NYC and 99.9% of the place is merely scenery, I’m not bumping into regular people to talk to them or trying to go into every building.

I was endlessly cruising around island back in TDU.

Fuel was a mediocre racing game but with friends online it was comfy to just explore. It could’ve been a great game if guns and walking were added. That map size was impressive. I would’ve liked to have flown a chopper or plane around that map.
