What would you say is the best video game ever?

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.

The online world is also **** because you can't make people play the game the way it was designed.
Have you ever played a squad based military sim? You're lucky if you can find one other person who wants to use comms and coordinate an assault or defense.
I'd rather wait until AI is smart enough to create bots that act like the human players should.

I was a big fan of the Hidden and Dangerous games. There was a lot of strategy you had to plan and lots of different ways to complete the mission.
The first game was a buggy mess though - once I looked up to the sky with my soldier and his head fell off, then he started melting through the ground. It was like a bad acid trip.
PS LOL @ this noob making a YouTube video playing the game in easy mode!
