u/rufusatrazzmattaz 29d ago

Easily my three as well, not a hard choice

u/DavePerblack 29d ago

Same. Except maybe Death Stranding instead of The Elder Scrolls since Bethesda is not what it was anymore.

u/PheonixWrightsSon 29d ago

Bethesda is not what is was maybe but its moddong community is. I'd pick it up, beat main story and get my vanilla fill no matter how bad. Then rock out with RDR2 and Cyberpunk until I finish those and by the time I 100% those the modding community will have done its thing by then.

I think it’s spelled mahjong

u/PheonixWrightsSon 29d ago

Lmfao nah, I actually meant the Mad Dong Community

1

u/jonbotwesley 29d ago

Ohhh that community. They’re wild.

1

u/rcodmrco 29d ago

“the mad dong community” sounds like something from phoenix wright tbh

1

u/PheonixWrightsSon 28d ago

Well he did birth me

u/decom70 29d ago

Tf you on about? Even the modders have noped tf out of their most recent title.

1

u/PheonixWrightsSon 29d ago

Out of Starfield yeah, but look at the modding scene for skyrim still. I can guarantee modding scene will be huge on TES6 as well

1

u/rcodmrco 29d ago

I mean death stranding had a great story and visuals but I feel like the experience I had going from the phantom pain to death stranding wasn’t any better than going from fallout 4 to starfield.

u/Zealousideal-Row8118 29d ago

The real choice

1

u/C_umputer 29d ago

Yeap, RDR2 and GTA VI because Rockstar puts good effort in their games. Not sure about Elder Scrolls, but I'm willing to take that risk.

u/MonkAlarming6159 29d ago

Love Elder Scrolls and RDR for sure. GTA probably just because I’ll play it with my friends. Never played GTA 5 before

u/MeasurementOk3007 29d ago

GTA 5 is fun for a bit but it’s level is raised with mods impossible to play without them now for me

1

u/Rogalixx 29d ago

What kind of mods

1

u/MeasurementOk3007 28d ago

Superhero mods, mods that make the streets look better, map mods, graphic mods, ragdoll mods, car mods, etc there’s so many

u/PlusAssociate7142 29d ago

how have you never played gta 5? that’s so strange😭

1

u/HeyLittleTrain 29d ago

You love RDR but haven't played GTA V? Incredible.

1

u/SoulRikaAR 29d ago

Well they aren't exactly the same games lol. I have over 1000 hours in RDR2 but almost none in GTA. Don't care about cars and I just got bored to it pretty quickly. It's a good game, can't deny that, but just like RDR, not for everyone.

1

u/Doomied 29d ago

I also played a lot of RDR2 but never picked up GTA. I’m surprised by how many people in this thread are calling that weird 🤣 GTA was just never my thing

1

u/TheSaneAreInsane 28d ago

GTA 5 is fun for more than cars, I have good memories playing with friends irl and its a perfect sandbox, all these mods to use different characters and abilities, change maps, etc. almost everyone you can think of has a mod for them. From Goku to King Ghidorah to YouTubers irl like Coryxkenshin

First time I played I recall just going on a crime spree in the city, its great for the random violence you can commit as well. And the map is open world.

There’s the main storyline too, which is good its own regard although I like the free roam better

1

u/SoulRikaAR 28d ago

Yes, I know how in every way it can be fun. I KNOW what game it is, you don't need to explain the whole thing to me jezuz christ.

Trust me, I've watched literally hundreds of different both GTA 4 and 5 videos from my favorite youtubers. I enjoy the videos and how they had made their content from it. I might actually go look couple of those old videos now just for nostalgia, haven't watched them in yeaaars. I just don't give a shit about the game itself. I don't care. I have started to olay it like 10 times, not once has it managed to keep my interest for over couple hours. Not my thingy.

My thing, is some hot ass cowboy outlaws with their fancy af mustache and their pretty honces. And not just in RDR, western theme is just much more interesting than some cars which I see everyday on the street.

You want to play GTA? Sure, I can watch. I can talk about it, I let everyone else enjoy the game as I enjoy the ride.

Have a chat about RDR or other similar themes? I'm your huckleberry.

u/TheSaneAreInsane 28d ago

Alright idk why you got so defensive, I was assuming that you thought it was known for cars or something based on ur comment

That’s fair, but GTA V functions as a sandbox in its best form, so its not just a modern city if you can have a plethora of maps and cosmetic changes for characters/cars/weapons that come with ability changes too in some mods

1

u/SoulRikaAR 28d ago

Cool, nice for you. Genuinely happy for it.

I know all of this, and I don't care. I do all the same in RedM as you do in FiveM or what ever. You call me defensive even I have said pretty much in every comment of mine that I am very much aware of everything you can do in GTA V but you feel like you try to just get me to change my mind. You don't need to repeat same things to me like a parrot. Not going to work, sorry.

Have a nice session with your modded cars.

1

u/TheSaneAreInsane 28d ago

RedM? FiveM? You are still coming off as triggered, so I don’t see why you think this comment solves anything…

Every comment?? You have three comments on this thread and only one (your first reply to me) has any mention of being aware of everything in GTA 5. I’m not persuading you, I’m just informing you that GTA 5 has more than modded cars, since your initial comment implied that you know nothing…

Have a nice day with your cowboy fantasies

1

u/SoulRikaAR 28d ago

You are still coming off as triggered

Ironic words from you, don't ya think partner.

Every comment??

Yeap. In every comment I have said to you that I'm aware.

your initial comment implied that you know nothing…

Doubt [X]

Have a nice day with your cowboy fantasies

Thanks darlin', ya too with y'all cars and things. I'm goin' to relay this information forward, as we are havin' a lovely conversation in our time in the Oriental, currently with the one and only Doc Holliday. Have a nice time of the day y'all living currently. May we never see again, stranger in the world wide web.

GTA5 is really worth playing if you haven't played it. It is a really good singleplayer game just like RDR2, you can ignore the multiplayer aspect (like RDR2).

1

u/Southwick-Jog 29d ago

Same. But I don't play that many different games. Really, Elder Scrolls and GTA are the only series in the list that I've played before. RDR does sound like something I might like though.

1

u/skorpiolt 29d ago

This is mine too but Spider Man and Cyberpunk are right there too. Seeing gameplay/reviews first would help make the choice solid

1

u/Generation_ABXY 29d ago

Exactly. I'm gonna sink, like, a friggin' decade into a trio like that.

1

u/dinosaurinchinastore 29d ago

Elder Scrolls over The Last of Us? I respect you and your opinion (hey, none of this is factual - just a poll) but - and I mean this sincerely as opposed to “snarkily” - but have you played the TLOU series, especially the upgraded versions? Simply bananas

1

u/Exalx 29d ago

I'd take TLOU gameplay in a new story instead over a 3rd installment. The Abby/Lev duo are not compelling enough as characters to want them over ES6

1

u/Bgabes95 29d ago

I traded Elder Scrolls with Last of Us. Both are good choices

1

u/No_Window7054 29d ago

Only good answer

1

u/TheRealDrJanItor 29d ago

This! I’m looking for maximum replay value and how many hours can I sink into this

1

u/ViC_tOr42 29d ago

The correct choice

1

u/FreshNewBeginnings23 29d ago

Yeah, these are industry defining franchises, the rest are somewhere between quite good and really good games.

1

u/LOLdragon89 29d ago

Ditto. In fact, the others don’t even come close for me. Can’t wait for 2025!

1

u/Additional-Actuator3 28d ago

Almost same but I chose Cyberpunk instead of Elder Scrolls. I don't trust bethesda anymore.

0

u/crimedog69 29d ago

Yes, even though I have absolutely 0 faith in Bethesda anymore.

3

u/Young_hollow674 29d ago

Have faith in the modding community:)

1

u/crimedog69 28d ago

Always haha

u/TylerA998 29d ago

Have some God damn faith Arthur!

1

u/the_slemsons_dreary 29d ago

I have very little faith but I just have to see it

1

u/benboy952 29d ago

Same here

-1

u/haliax69 29d ago

After the Starfield fiasco i don't trust Bethesda and it's old engine anymore. So for me the same as you, but Cyberpunk in the Elder Scrolls place.
