Witcher 3 was a contender, what with Geralt and his witcher buddies getting completely hammered, dressing in Yennifer's undergarments and calling up the sorceresses for a booty call, only for them to get caught by a really angry Yennifer.. That was amazing.

Far Cry 6 has a mission where you get shitfaced and decide that you're going to graffiti over every bit of propaganda in the town that you're in. You graffiti the first one, and it gives you an updated objective saying you've done 1/100-something propaganda murals in the town. You do another one while giggling with your buddy, and after the third one your buddy says something to the effect of "hell yeah we are revolutionaries! How many have we done so far?" and your character says "uhhhhhhhhhhh fuckin' ALL OF EM!" and the objective goes from "3/100-something " to "COMPLETE!"

I was giggling the whole time. :3:

Does the drunken bender mission in Skyrim count?

The first mission of Watchdogs 2 (after the prologue/tutorial) is Marcus waking up on the floor after a party and the first objective the game gives you is to find some pants

The Witcher 2's drunk scene is better imo because it's SO impactful that the lovely tattoo you get during your escapade is still on your neck in 3 if you import your save file. Lunatics, the lot of them.

That is why it's funny, just the idea of someone yelling LENNYYYYYY drunkenly at your dog and both you and the dog give the same look of "what the gently caress". It's like something out of a sitcom I love picturing it. It's like a real life interaction from the game.

edit: Like you're walking your dog and exchange how do you do's at the stop sign and you're like "hey my dog's name is Leonard but I call him Lenny" and they just SCREAM "LENNYYYYYYYYY" and part ways without ever telling you why. I promise it's not at your expense.

I've been playing Chicory over most of today as a chill out game (got three trials of the wielder to go) and love the bosses. They are really interesting visually and have great music. For a game that lacks a lot of combat, what combat it does have is completely nailed. Especially the (lategame character arc spoilers) bosses against Chicory as consumed by her own despair and the one before it fighting Mirror Main Character. Those were really cool both visually and thematically. Also the sidequests are hilarious.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I cannot overstate how awesome it is finally having a modern Soulsborne game with an actual open world. I was pretty hesitant going in - after all, I think an argument could be made that a lot of From's games are 'open world' of a sense, since there's generally a few different routes to explore at any given time and all of the world geometry is (often oddly) interconnected. But a true big open world (with some nice traversal convenience concessions!) means that there's basically no point so far where I've gotten stuck on a tough couple of bosses or anything, I can always just gently caress off and explore and come back later when I'm better equipped.

Plus I finally figured out how and where I can summon my sweet jellyfish bro, I call him Bloober and he's a great mascot/distraction in giant mob fights.

It is very nice to be able to hit da brix if an area is too hard

It was a nice touch that one such area is directly outside the first door in the game. And also directly east of there. And also there is an impossible boss that drops down if you go west

Unironically yes, it's awesome that there's a bunch of deadly stuff towards the beginning that you can run away from or around entirely, it really hammers home how easy it is to use the new open areas to your advantage (and that there will be big tough challenges to overcome when you're feeling more like a badass). I wouldn't say the design is as tight and memorable as something like 1-1 in Demon's Souls or the first couple of lanterns in Bloodborne but there was clearly some real thought put into it.

you don't have to play a song or some bullshit to summon it, and when you do summon it you don't have to wait 10 minutes for it to go around an entire goddamn mountain or doggy paddle its way to you because you were slightly too close to it for it to respawn near you.

I also really like how it stops and goes when you want it to stop and go.

there's one area that has a lot of rooftops that are fun to jump around on too.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising had really good horse controls. You basically just summon it under you so there was no fussing around with it.

Assassins Creed Odyssey had it where tapping the button would call your horse, but pressing and holding would have the horse come to you and you’d auto mount it.

i was not sold on the horse at all and still need to go back and practice horseback combat against that tree sentinel motherFUCKER

but then i started finding and using the insane Sonic the Hedgehog style whirlwind-powered HORSE JUMP BOUNCE PADS and i am similarly convinced torrent is the best videogame horsedog ever

you didn't even mention that your amazing horsedog has a double jump for some reason

I've been noodling around the map and poking around in Caelid which is a bad idea because not only do things want the player dead there, they are extremely good at it. But I really like just seeing what is around.

I do think that maybe having the game basically flash a giant blinking arrow that says "GO HERE" for the first big dungeon and actually have it be a brick wall of difficulty isn't a great idea though.

Sending people to Castle Morne would have been a better early place to lead the player. There is a nice horseback battle with a giant at the beginning, some good lessons on pulling creatures from a pack inside and a boss that is kinda hard, but not Margit hard.

Not only that, you can auto mount it while running, which always felt incredibly smooth. You just whistle, take off running, and your horse will automatically catch up for you to jump on to in a couple seconds.

Something I don’t think the game can be assed to explain is that mounted L2/R2 attacks both work by holding the button to do a melee drive by attack, that helps a lot with mounted combat.

yeah, like any group of baddies in the open world is basically effortless and riskfree to defeat when you're mounted. Bosses will destroy you, though.
