Open world game with Witcher 3's side quest story depth, Horizon's fast-paced and frantic combat, and Breath of the Wild's player-driven exploration, freedom of movement, and physics-based environment interactions = the perfect game???

I can only handle so much open world so I don't think this would be my perfect game (I felt like I was pretty much done with those kinds of games until zelda came along)

I saw that Doom is on sale on PS4 and was thinking it might be a nice change of pace to just shoot something after 70 hours of BotW exploration

e: also I haven't played Horizon but I'm surprised you'd pick that over platinum combat

Out of the literal dozens of things on my plate right now, is my first video game related work - I've been asked to do the writing for a "pixel art open world turn-based RPG set in the real world with absolutely no magical or urban fantasy". It's gotten me excited to the point where I'm impatient and trying to learn how to help with the actual game making myself. I've always wanted to play a game like that that doesn't at any point involve (or devolve into) mystical poo poo.

So for example a typical gameplay loop for a session will be something like "Go see a local punk band, get involved in a drunken fight with rowdy skinheads, pick up a new party member that fights by throwing guitar picks"

idk I'm probably making it sound lame, but it won't be, I promise

My backlog project is being put on hold now because of Turok 2. I hardly even got through the first game (Age of Empires III) because I was pretty busy. Oh well!

I'll start it up again once I'm finished with Turok.

I've started by own backlog project. The secret behind games like Turok 2 on your backlog is to sell them so they're no longer on your backlog and you can use the money on a game that's actually fun. :ssh:

They're good puzzles like the shrines, great puzzles, but they're just not quite dungeons.

The only thing in BOTW that feels close to a proper dungeon is the labyrinths or the final Hyrule Castle, which is EPIC, but because there's no real key items and you get all the runes in the first hour of the game, it doesn't really feel like a zelda dungeon.

I love BOTW for what it is, great game. But now if they could make a sequel majora's mask style using the same engine and assets but focus on traditional dungeons, I'd be in heaven.

I really like Horizon's combination of versatile enemies with a versatile player, I think. A lot of open world games give the player a big list of tools to use, but few of them make you actually want to use those tools like Horizon does. You've got a bunch of ways to interact with the enemies, who are surprisingly complex and make you want to use a variety of strategies. It's a ton of fun. (This does not apply to human enemies, who are bog standard and pretty boring. Breath of the Wild does humanoid enemies leagues better because they're more unpredictable and versatile.)

I like Platinum combat but I think for the game I'm envisioning, I don't need technical, combo-based combat. I want the frantic, improvisatory feel you get in Horizon.

Zaphod42 posted:

:yeah:

Set it in a revised version of the Great Sea with better and more complex islands to explore and ship-to-ship combat with moblin pirates and I'm sold. Oh, and bring back the grappling hook but let it grapple on to anything just like you can climb anything in Breath of the Wild. Obviously you'll need a grappling hook to board enemy ships in style, after all.
