What would you say is the best video game ever?

Which game has a more immersive open world?
Once I spent an afternoon trying to kill as many women as I could so I could stack up their skulls in my house like bricks. By the time I got to my 50th kill, the old lady said, 'oh I know how this goes.' I thought that was quite clever!

Supposedly dull as dishwater with janky combat. The lead is a bender too and you apparently have to romance men to progress. Not my cup of tea but maybe it's your thing.

I wasn't aware you could even romance men and I've played it twice. I prefer games that give me control over the world and punish me for mistakes rather than on rails experiences like RDR2 where you can't fail and you're able to get shot millions of times without going down.

I read somewhere that in order to complete the game you have to do some weird mission where you suck the local baron's cock so that definitely suggests it's gay to me!
Do the decisions you make actually impact the world?
Something I really like about Baldur's Gate 3 is how adaptable and immersive it all feels. The main story perhaps doesn't change that much, but you can kinda do whatever you want in most quests, and the world bends depending on your choices.

I haven't played BG3 but it probably dwarves both RDR2 and KCD for immersion based on what I've seen.
Your decisions do impact the world in KCD and you have many ways of dealing with every quest and side quest. The NPCs also have their own real life schedules that they stick to and you will have to plan around those. There's no forced gay ****. There are men characters you can romance apparently but your main attraction is to some village girl who you can ignore if you want.

Just to name a few examples:
Kingdom Come Deliverance is probably the best modern example. Realistic medieval.
Mount and Blade Bannerlord for more medieval sandbox.
Elder Scrolls games if you want more fantasy/magic stuff.
Fallout games if you want guns.
No Mans Sky if you want space fantasy.
Elite Dangerous if you want space realism.
Stalker games if you want something different. Stalker Anomaly is free and possibly the best available version of Stalker.
Day-Z if you want zombie survival.
Most of these have a healthy amount of mods as well if you want to improve anything.

It looks like we're after entirely different things from a video game.
Nothing comes close to RDR2 as far as I'm concerned. I like a challenge, but I also like what RDR2 offers. It's more like an interactive movie, a kind of choose your own adventure book in visual and audio form.

The Valentine bank robbery is my favorite mission. I've replayed it a dozen times.
The music throughout the whole game is just stunning, but the mission you've just linked definitely has one of the best pieces.

It's a shame the online aspect wasn't a success. An online immersive world constantly being updated would have been cool.
I played it very briefly and it was oddly fast and arcadey, which kills the pedestrian, methodical flow we're used to offline.
