and other stuff like that. And BotW is an absolute joy, many if the grievances leveled at it didn't resonate with me, I didn't miss dungeons, found the weapon breaking to be a good way to mix up the combat and loved the self contained puzzle shrines. But there's just something about the world of RDR2 that really hits the spot. I couldn't blame anyone for picking BotW as the ultimate open world game, but for me it's RDR2.

I love Breath of the Wild but I agree, Red Dead II is my favourite. 

I think it is something to consider that Arthur's contradictions are common place in the genre, especially Westerns that focus on outlaws like The Wild Bunch, Pat Garrett, Butch Cassidy, 3:10 To Yuma et al. Killing is part of his job but that doesn't mean he doesn't have some sense of right and wrong - and the later parts of the game where he comes to realize that Dutch's code is bullshit work with his internal conflict very well. I think video games are interesting in the way that the character is you and you are the character. I find it basically impossible to not do the honorable thing in the game when I have the choice and that makes the journey the character goes on even more rewarding. The mayhem of GTA has no appeal for me here. The hero of the Western is very often incredibly violent, even if they are the "good" guy. Hell John Wayne spends a whole movie killing Native Americans in The Searchers. I think the contradiction is intentional in Red Dead II and says a fair lot about the environment in which they were created, and of the United States as a whole, and the natural world. Evil and Good sit side by side, as do beauty and horror. Anyway, something to consider.

I’ll go with all that. There was just something about that world that totally resonates with me.  It’s probably between that and Firewatch for my game of the gen and it’s gotta be something to do with the setting that’s getting me.

Day of the Dead is the best

Doom 2s maps aren't a patch on the original imo, for the most part. The additional monsters tho are great and really add to the package, as does the super shotgun, ofc.

Original Doom is superb too of course. I remember D2 more though as it took longer to get through. I kind of include both games as one package in my mind.

Played it on default. Then replayed it on Ultra Violence.
