What does it take to be authentic, though? What does being oneself even mean, specifically in a social context? It seems to show up in how we present ourselves to others and in the impressions we leave on them - through what we say and do.

Still, its open world doesn't feel as alive and organic as RD. Although I hear it is more dense, which makes sense given the different settings.

Welcome to the forum. It's "Me follaré a tus madres."

Obviously.

Find a game with a more complex set of systems than Red Dead II.

I'll probably just end up singing the whole song to random people on the street.

Oh, hi, nice to meet you

Feliz Na'vidad

Just discovered this banger

The purpose of this journal is to share questions, humor, miscellaneous creative content, and raw reflections on personal empowerment and consciousness. My goals are to deepen my experiential understanding of these topics, improve my communication skills, have fun, and help others see things in a new light.

I haven't played it but apparently it has excellent combat too.

What realistic games do you enjoy? To me, realism is a nice side effect at the end of the day. I have fond memories of playing one of the Spyro games as a kid.

Okay, that's fair.

Oblivion, Bitch: Remastered.

That may be, but why not both? Intricate game design and cinematics.

That we agree on.

@Sugarcoat Thanks for clarifying. 😃

Nahh, jokes are fine. I assumed you meant GTA V?

I'm confused now.

The kind of creativity involved is more grounded and bounded by so-called real-life parameters. It's like comparing Breaking Bad with Harry Potter. Was the former less "creative” compared to the latter? Did it lose appeal by being more down-to-earth and adult than a fantasy world? Obviously, you wouldn't expect to fight dragons or brew potions in such a piece of media. And yet, its appeal lies precisely in its gritty, grounded, mature quality. Red Dead is one of those games that transcends the medium. You can imagine your uncle playing it - if he were even remotely open to trying something new. It's analogous to a well-made interactive movie. Also, in this discussion about realism, it is easy to overlook other key elements like the story, context, setting, world, characters, soundtrack, morality, symbolism, overall technical quality and focus on detail.

In Rayman?

I haven't played that one. My favorites in that genre (sort of) are the Jak & Daxter trilogy and Ratchet and Clank.
