Comfy traveling games

Games about traveling. Preferably PC, but anything goes.

Not games where traveling is possible, but where the game focuses on it or has a lot of it. Comfy trains, planes, boats, RVs, etc. Preferably not alone, too.

Just Cause 2

euro truck simulator

Jalopy

...

Organ Trail

Outrun but SEGA doesn't make that anymore.
The Crew is nice for just cruising

the traveling was probably the only thing FFXV did right. its so fucking chill sitting in the car while someone else drives and hanging out at rest stops and shit

HALF-LIFE 2
the undisputed king of ROAD TRIP VIDYA
you road trip in a boat and in a car. you get guns. you can run people over and do sick jumps. it's great. the ambient sounds are really nice.

HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE ONE has no cars
but EPISODE TWO does, an even better one. It has a small road trip, whatever, but the final boss fight promotes VEHICULAR COMBAT. In my head I was playing Brighton Rock while doing 180's while refilling my ammo and nitrous charging into bastard alien scum. aAAAAAAH HERE'S YOUR KILLER TRACK!

nothing quite is like these two. racing games are boring and precision. I want something raw and creative. Combat is a satisfying avenue for car tricks, panicky rushes of fight-or-flight (both of which cars can do), and going really fast. I love it.

FFXV killed the "road trip" aesthetic. Never seen a game do it better

Final Fantasy VII

Dwarf Fortress

doesn't the car handle like shit?

nope. not a good example since you can backtrack super super quickly. when the world is that accessible and small, it doesn't feel like you're actually going any distance at all. having an overworld where cloud is the size of a massive town is immersion-killing enough.
i'm looking forward to seeing how FF7R does it.

Train ride introduction tin the original animal crossing, never progress through it, just stare at the screen.

Pyre is a visual novel about riding with your companions in a magical imp-powered wagon from area to area to participate in a space jam tournament to win the the prize of freedom from purgatory.

Also has 10/10 music

baby driver srsly scratches an itch that I haven't been able to find in vidya and it irks me. all the sandbox games have AI that are incredibly easy to escape from via car. all the racing games are boring, clean, and all about memorization.

Burgers are sandwiches.

>a sandwich is something placed between two things

it's a sandwich

FFXV biggest strenght is the road trip aspect. Everything else takes a backseat for better or worse.
The absurd amount of dialogue, the spontanious exploration trips, THE FUCKING PHOTOS at teh end of each day.
It's really good in that regard and if you dont progress to Chapter 8 then you only have the Open world in your memories instead of the garbage story.

You can set a destination and one of your party members will drive you to it while you can change the radio stations, access the store or look at interesting spots in the environment.
Or you can drive yourself, which is slightly magnetic to the road but it's okay since you want to drive on the road anyways due to immersion

Have you tried Driver and Driver 2?

I've seen the movie, but no I haven't played any of the games. The gameplay I looked up makes the world look extremely flat, lowly-populated, and really spacious. Doesn't seem like it would suit my mood. Although watching those low-polygon pop-in ridden 5th gen graphics reminds me of Crazy Taxi, which is pretty good. Although I always game over when I get to the downtown part with the skyscrapers.

#1 game people pretend to like

...

but I honestly like it, user

I like the American Truck game, if only because it reminds me of riding in my dads truck.

it is fun, but they need to hurry on adding more states.
