When's the last time you genuinely felt like you were on an adventure when playing a video game?

Oblivion, no question.

The Witcher 3 got me a few times.

Playing Dark Souls for the first time alone with the room lit only by my monitor was an experience on occasion.

But adult life pulls you out of games in a way that never happened when you were still in school, so probably like... Mass Effect?

BOTW is the most modern game.

Kingdom Hearts 1 is the most recent game I've played that does it though.

Underrail
Stalker
Grimrock

Dark Souls 3.
It lacked replayability, but going through it the first time was amazing.

Before that?
Shivering isles in Oblivion. Runescape like 14 years ago when I a kid. Unironically Destiny, but only the first time doing the raids blind.

Minecraft

Blackwake for sure
youtube.com/watch?v=s--RWbgxGaw
BEST OST

OP failed to specify a good adventure

Breath of the Wild, even though some parts were disappointing.

Monster hunter 4u

...

BotW, Mario Odyssey, MHW, all did that for me pretty easily.

Probs Witcher 3 or Breath of the wild.

When I played Xenoblade Chronicles last month.

>tfw no Master and Commander Game
Its not fair

BotW
XCX

XC2 was a good game but didn't really have the adventure/freedom spirit these open world games exuded.

Twilight Princess right after I played BotW for a week and realized I couldn't have fun with it. Fucking blazed through TPHD on Wii U with a smile on my face as my launch day Switch just sat in its dock

World of Warcraft (2005) and Witcher 3 (2015)

dark souls

I've actually read one of the Aubrey novels, all I really remember is a crewman getting courtmartialed for fucking the ship's goat though
Blackwake is probably the closest thing you'll ever get

Holy shit,weeb fag detected

Dragons dogma

...

>But adult life pulls you out of games in a way that never happened when you were still in school
So fucking true. I keep trying to get immersed in Kingdom Come, but I keep thinking about other responsibilities and stuff that's coming up throughout the day.

where the fuck do you think you are, weeb

FF XV for me.
Wasn't a 10/10 imo but something about it brought back a joy I hadn't felt for a long time.
Before that would be Infinite Undiscovery.

Divinity Original Sin 2

this music man, it just says ADVENTURE

youtube.com/watch?v=BksokWc3Da4

Actually, how is Lands of Lore 2? I loved the first one, but this one seem very different.

Maybe BotW, it's actually hard to remember if I got a true sense of adventure (which I don't get from it anymore). Dark Souls 3 would be my next pick

Medieval 2 Total war Third Age: Alliance campaign

ah, but there is!

Both are great

LoL1 is just a good dungeon crawler with great story.
LoL2 is a very good dungeon crawler, with great story and a crazy main character

Vanilla WoW was when the world felt big as fuck and overwhelming
Runescape 2 as well

mass effect series

Mankind Divided.

That game was basically all I thought about for the few days it took me to beat it.

Dark Souls 1 for the first time, especially when i get used to it.
And pretty much every souls game, that was great expirience, sad that we will never live that period of time again. I wish to get back to 2009, when Demon's Souls was released.

I dunno Wind Waker maybe
It's been a long ass time

Dragon Quest VIII

Holdfast is decent on land but the naval combat is, by far, the worst part of the game. You can spend 30 minutes sailing and never fight anyone and ships take ages to turn, it sacrifices fun for realism in all the wrong areas.
Naval Action is a good "realistic" naval combat sim if you're looking for a 3rd person simulator as opposed to an FPS

Ghost of a Tale soon for me.

eh, got it on sale, it was fun but definitely not worth 60 bucks. Jesus, the original deus ex is so far off from how shitty the story is in the new games. If they could bring back the focus the original deus ex had i'd be in love with the series

>liking TP
I didn't really get into BotW but you have legitimately terrible taste.

...

MGQ

Summer Time Saga.

It's very rare for a game to make me feel like I'm on an actual adventure, even when playing RPGs. I can actually account for each time I have felt it, in order:

>Zelda 1
>Chrono Trigger
>FFVII
>Breath of Fire III
>Oblivion
>Minecraft
>Zelda BotW

That's it, and yeah I've played a fuck ton of other RPGs and the rest of the Zeldas, etc. but no I didn't get that feeling. BotW is obviously the last time I felt it, and I think it's because like with Zelda 1, you can literally go wherever and do what you want.

Mass effect 1 I think. The entire campaign against Saren and then Sovereign made the things you were doing feel insignificant against an ancient being, so when you had to fight against it, it felt like a monumental challenge.

Which is why it was so disappointing when ME2 only focused on a slave race of the Reapers, with a DLC mission dedicated against the Reapers, and then in ME3 the reapers had already arrived, with no way to stop them.

KCD

The first Dark Souls

Kingdom come deliverance

Ys VIII. Ys games always get the feeling of adventure, and the latest one was no exception

Xenoblade X
Wonderful 101
Color Splash

this
the fast travel map also reminds me of Python And The Holy Grail

Breath of the Wild made me feel like no other game had in over a decade.

Witcher 3. I almost forgotten how great it feels... been trying a lot of other games afterwards but I just can't get that feeling again.

Before that I'd have to go way back... Rune was a major one

These are just off the top of my head, there's probably way more. You guys need to use your imagination instead of over-analyzing everything. Just have fun. Not every game is full of loot boxes and cutscenes.

Demons souls

Unironically Sup Forumsirgin Quest. Knowing that a fellow Sup Forumsirgin put all of his autism into the game just so you can have a grand old time made the experience of every discovery so much better.

Subnautica edged on adventure and then petered out.

I guess Morrowind.

The story is completely different. Instead of being on a journey to save a kingdom, it is about rediscovering the past and what others have left behind. You essentially play as a hobo exploring forgotten ruins and salvaging artifacts. It is a bit interesting in the way it handles player freedom, allowing for things like attacking main characters and adjusting the story based on that, as well as having huge chunks of the game that are never mentioned or hinted toward that you can skip entirely.

Weebs make me sick.

Dragon's Dogma, when escorting the Hydra's head through the mountain pass and you come down the other side of the mountain and see Gran Soren far below, and the countryside between you and the city.

wew lad, i had me a feel.

Playnig Banner Saga for the first time, cause I never knew what the next event would be about.

Perhaps the folks over at Reddit, Tumblr, Neogaf, Ebaumsworld or Resetera would be a better fit for you then.

Witcher 3 blood and wine, nothing ever since. Nier automata had its moments but honestly I treat it more as a comfy walking sim with nice music or slasher when I want to let out some steam. I don't give a fuck about protags and story so its hardly an adventure.

Gothic 1/2/3, Darksiders 1, Chrono trigger, Tomb raider 2013, darksouls 1/2, Half Life, Metro 1/2, Ryse, Castlevania LOD, Dark messiah

>This user has been banned (Permanently) for mentioning the alt-right nazi propaganda site Reddit
can i get paid to 'moderate' resetera now?

No joke, but Kingdom Come, at least when it stops for being linear for a moment. It has the most immersive forest in vidya for me.

Any game with a horse

Dragon Quest VIII, original on PS 2. Didn't feel much in J-RPGs since then.

...

FFXIV main scenario up until the castrum, then again with Heavensward. High hopes to get through dragonsong and play Stormblood

Unironically ff15. If you responded back saying the game is shit I'd have to agree with you, but there's something charming about exploration in that game that made it fun as hell for me. It sucks the combat is wonky.

Reddit has surpassed Sup Forums in every possible way. i don't even know why i browse this shithole anymore.

good, fuck off then

youtube.com/watch?v=5rNbcEPdJEg

EO4 felt just right. Not too much of a trash story like usual Zelda games, but enough elements in-game to keep you in caution state.

We dont know either.

Desert of Kharak

About two hours ago.

Now this is why i hate this site. you can't even present a good argument.

if you hate it so much go
we don't need or want you here and you clearly don't want to be here, fuck off
final (you)

Even Pocket Card Jokey?

>When's the last time you genuinely felt like you were on an adventure when playing a video game?

Breath Of The Wild

Not that user but TP is still a better Zelda game. BotW is just another open world Ubisoft game wrapped in a Zelda skin. Deal with it.

...

How do we go back to that time when we could experience joy and wonder?

>has surpassed
Are you implying reddit has improved over time? I've browsed reddit for nearly a decade now and consider its current state the worst it has ever been. The front page has been cancer for a long time now but the last election did a number on the psyche of the whole site in a way that has never been seen before.

I thought about buying this if I can find it somewhere cheap. Is it worth a go?

hell. Especially when you disable the HUD for maximum immersion.

Adventures have twists and turns, the bad only make the good stand out more. But if the adventure is bad from start to finish then its not an adventure; its a shitshow.

Nah. You can keep posting this for another eleven months though.

When you find the Fountain of Youth.

Dragon's Dogma

CK2 Game of thrones mod as King Bobby B

fuck yeah

First of all, that wasn't even close to resembling a good argument. Secondly, if you don't like it here, fucking leave. We have had enough influx of Reddit and we don't want you here.

Why are you so salty? i just stated my opinion.

The other day, while playing underrail
god i love underrail
