Because everything must be multiplayer. Despite how much I love rdr2, I haven't spent a huge amount of time in red dead online. And I think half of that is how incredibly hostile the multiplayer world is. If I see another real person, the odds are very good that they're going to shoot me, sometimes because they think I'll shoot them but sometimes just because. I don't enjoy PvP and a game experience where I have to worry about being shot while I sell poo poo to the butcher because someone's decided to gleefully murder everyone who walks into town is not fun for me. Trying to deliver a wagon and then getting it stolen by a high level player with a sniper rifle is not fun for me, and while a lot of games let you opt out of PvP, red dead online doesn't, not really, so almost all my interactions with other players are negative. Sometimes the horse races are fun, though.

Multiplayer games with PvE are much better when pvp can be opted into. Valheim is excellent for this, as the pvp toggle solely affects whether you take damage from other players. Seems RDR2 (and probably some others) could greatly benefit from a similar option.

The best "recent" pirate game was probably the Curse of the Vampire Coast DLC/Faction for Total War: Warhammer 2. Undead pirates led by a vampire who had his mind and personality shattered by an Aztec lizardpeople curse, an opera-singing banshee, or a... human? (I thought she was a siren that had cut off her fin and replaced it with two sawfish bills for legs but apparently she's just a mutant human) pirate who uses sawfish bills as her peg legs. Or just another old vampire wizard. You can loot and pillage, dig up buried treasure, and be a general nuisance to everyone along the coast. Sounds like a pirate game to me.

RoboRodent posted:I've played RDR2 twice. It really resonated me, for whatever reason. I want my horses to be happy and I want to ride around skinning animals until I feel like doing story. I feel that that all the care you put in the horse really make it resonate if it died. I'm one of those who reloaded when my horse died. It also made it more emotinally when Morgan says thank you to his horse when it ultimately dies. RDR2 also feels like one of those games that it's actually possible to go around exploring in. Unlike other open world games not everybody is out to kill you, there's no artificial borders. you don't have to level up or unlock parts of the story to go places, there's also a lot of genuinely interesting places to stumble upon.

Sid Meier's Pirates was a lot of fun, and will teach you to ransack Saint Augustine immediately to keep the bad guys from spawning up in the rear end end of the map. I usually follow it by ejecting the Spanish from Mexico for the same reason.

Was that the same as the PS2 game I played a while back, The Legend of Jack Sparrow? Where he was saving his and Will's asses by pulling a Scheherazade to avoid being executed? Also I played the first island set in Legend of Black Kat, couldn't get past the first boss. Might try again some day. On another note I've started playing Disaster: Day of Crisis on Wii. I've had it for years but never tried it, the shooting is really fun.

On open worlds I'm digging the Cultist Hunt in AC: Odyssey. I really like the idea of these people being out in the world and not tied to missions and figuring out where they might be from clues is very satisfying. Would be happy playing a big open-world game where the idea was to find specific NPCs without any signposting. I also love it when I wander into a random cave and there's a cultist hanging out in there I had no idea about.

Seems the US has bad luck with Wii games, given your version of Pandora's Tower has a high chance of breaking right at the end due to a bug that's not present in the EU version :P

If you want me to get excited about a western game you're gonna have to get weird with it. Have a shaman grant me ghost wolf powers or have mad scientists inventing crazy gadgets or something. Otherwise it's just a shooter with three guns, against human enemies with the same three guns, plus maybe grenades reskinned as dynamite.

It's a pvp shooter but for wild west with a twist I highly recommend Hunt Showdown. It's basically cowboys going into a zombie infested bayou to find and kill one or two specific boss creatures, then escape with the bounties from their corpses. But other cowboys are out to do the same thing and won't want to share the bounty. The gunfights are so satisfying and the game oozes atmosphere. Multiplayer games never used to interest me much but playing hunt with friends has kept me relatively sane over the past year.

hunt is specifically what has me wishing for more cowboy games, but despite being a great game, it's very hard to blanket recommend because not only do you need the patience to deal with its extremely unforgiving and difficult nature but you also need an equally patient friend to play it with. it's somewhat doomed to forever be a niche product because of this, but if you can meet its steep prerequisites to enjoy it, drat if it isn't an experience you can't get anywhere else. and it's gained population for the last six months so it's not about to go anywhere.

Edit to add: Please not a looter-shooter though, I could practically feel the monkey paw twitching, and I do not want a looter shooter with a pasted on deadlands theme with "huckster" "gunslinger" and "mad scientist" being the classes, dropping colour rarity, but otherwise indistinguishable loot and charging you ghost rock (the freemium currency) for respecs.
