Skyrim doesn't let me go on an adventure. It just gives me chores to do.
The only Zelda game that let's me go on an adventure is the first fucking one. The others hold your hand through a story.
Fallout new vegas kinda let's me go on an adventure because I choose where to go and there's stuff that happens without some story to tell me why I'm there.
What other games let me have an adventure and use my wit to solve things and explore dangerous places no one would dare go?
>>339777748
Shadow of the Colossus
Witcher 3
These two games definitely have something grand about them when it comes to giving you that sense of adventure.
>>339777748
Witcher 3. It became a overhyped meme, but it's legit good.
>>339777927
>>339777938
Never played or spoiled anything about Witcher 3 so I'll add that to my list.
Shadow of the Colossus was perfect for an adventure so I might pick it up and replay it.
>>339778161
Another would be Dragon's Dogma too. Goddamn, that game on the PC is fucking heavenly.
>>339778515
Dragon's Dogma is garbage.
If your willing to deal with the new player annoying shit. Dwarf fortress adventure mode is top tier adventuring.
>>339778669
You're garbage.
>>339778515
tell me why >>339778669 is wrong and D'sD is a great adventure.
Dwarf fortress always looked like some 4X game. What's it like?
>>339778515
This
Dragons Dogma is indeed an adventure, and it has some pretty good gameplay too
>>339778161
Does SotC emulate well?
I don't have any older sony hardware
>>339778515
>>339777938
3d games that use the main buttons for attacking and such bother me
I played darksiders 2 right after dark souls and was such ass at it for the longest time because I was instinctually hitting r1 to attack
At one point I switched the binds up but only became more confused by the mismatched prompts
>>339778826
Dwarf Fortress is amazing is you get immersed into it, but at a casual perspective it looks nerdy and difficult. Adventure mode is literally the best sandbox RPG with the most 'freedom' that I know of. LITERALLY do anything you want that is realistic, and it keeps getting updates.
>>339777748
Xenoblade, both games, full stop.
All others can go to bed. There is nothing, NOTHING, like these two games when it comes to pure adventure.
>>339778826
Dwarf Fortress has two modes, Fortress and Adventure mode
Fortress mode you have a fort with dwarves on an embark square that you pick in the world. At this point you can't leave that area but tons of things from goblin ambushes to fire-spewing forgotten beasts will come and pester your fort dependent mostly on your wealth.
In adventure it's mostly just a roguelike RPG, you make your character and go around the world on an adventure. I don't know much about adventure because I never learned how to play it, but it sounds like your best bet.
There's also plenty of other roguelike adventure games to tickle your fancy, Brogue is a neat free one that comes to mind.
>>339777748
Have you tried Herc's Adventures?
>>339777748
Resident Evil 4 and 5
Any Tomb Raider (the recent ones if you want less backtracking)
Metro series
Soulsborne games
Uncharted series
Last of Us
Diablo 1 (and maybe 2)
Half-Life series
Fanmaps for any Source shooter can sometimes be interesting to explore too
Also TES/Fallout are 10x better once you find the right mods (ex: creature and advanced melee overhauls in Oblivion, every major IRL gun brand in NV, some in 3, entire new worlds for Skyrim, etc)
And if you choose Witcher 3, don't forget the Blood and Wine dlc, it's very pretty to look at.
>>339778826
Think d&d in vidya form with even more freedom. It's incredibally difficult for new players and has a steep learning curve. But after you get past it dwarf fortress is one of the most immersive rpg's out there. You can literally do almost anything you want to do. From saving some kidnapped children, to killing literally every living thing in the world until it is a desolate wasteland.

If this trailer doesn't set your ADVENTURE hype to maximum it's time to stop playing games.

Is book of glint good?
The mc and title remind me of guild wars

Use your "wit" to answer this question. Fuck off and go explore your options.

The writing's not exactly spectacular yet (he's getting assistance), but the art is miles ahead of Prequel's. Also already got new characters coming in, so the original intro getting discarded wasn't a total waste.
Also the guy's been busy for over a month with college finals, but has been back to work recently. New update hopefully any day now.
This game was exactly what you were looking for, OP. This was adventure to a T.
Wanted to go somewhere? Had to ask other players for directions and / or a guide.
If you went off by yourself and just explored the world (which was massive), you'd ALWAYS find some random but interesting thing that piqued your imagination, that, chances are, few others had seen in a while.
Go out into the desert, you'll come across some camp, or tomb, or quest area, or little village... same for literally anywhere else. If you were unlucky you'd stumble on a particularly interesting area, but discover a massive raid boss and have your shit pushed in.
It shut down years ago. RIP. I miss this game so so much. This really was the closest thing to an adventure in gaming.
>>339779790
>reminded to check prequel
>still no update
>last update was Halloween last year
merch was a mistake
>>339777748
specifically what genre you looking for?
>>339777748
Dark Souls.
In particular, the first one. You're given a vague objective and then just dropped into the world where you can go in whichever direction you want and explore. It really is a great adventure.
Fez
>>339779571
I just listed stuff based around "explorative-feeling" themes independent of how casual or challenging they may be. It's OP's choice or not.
>>339779218
>>339779446
Looks pretty cool. I'll look into it more.
>>339779329
n-no are you being serious?
>>339779525
very funny. Have you ever heard of a map? You look at it and it suggests you where to go when something is unexplored. That's what I'm here for. You guys are like my map.
>>339779972
fuck. oh well. All adventures come to an end (except exploring space)
>>339779992
I know bro feels bad man.
>>339780086
doesn't really matter to me.
>>339780097
I've played all the souls games and bloodborne.
And alright I'm going to try dwarf fortress for sure and D'sD for sure!
>>339779992
Yeah, he GROSSLY underestimated how hard it would be making thousands of individual printouts and shipments alone. And atop a QW side-story, flash game, and another in-progress for the Sigrid mission.
At least he wasn't just jacking off the whole time though.
>>339780297
Here's a guide for dorf adventure mode.
>>339780518
Yeah it's wonderful he's doing so much
Sucks that he tried to shove a 3 foot long toblerone down his throat
Metaphorically...

>asks for adventure game
>give good adventure game

>>339780819
Nigga I wouldn't know if Herc's Adventures is a serious suggestion. It's hard to tell. You have to at least understand my hesitation.
>>339780690
thanks! pretty excited.
>>339780297
If exploring space is what you're into, X3 Albion Prelude (or Terran Conflict) is a pretty cool game
Quite a few sectors for you to adventure into, and later on you can do some really cool shit like owning tons of ships, building self-sustaining torpedo complexes, or even just being a trader who eventually gets a space truckin empire
Shitloads of great mods too
>>339781027
Why wouldn't it be a serious suggestion?

also as much of a meme it is the Souls games have what you're looking for
>>339777748
I wonder how she'd like the taste of dick
>>339781173
I'm not specifically looking for space exploration (just finished a playthrough of Stellaris) but absolutely I'm into space exploration. Mass effect 1 was pretty awesome with the Mako. I'm sorta excited for Andromeda.
>>339781331
Sitting in my collection. Really great but not the sort of adventure I'd want to replay right now.
>>339781353
If your dick tastes likepineapplethen she'd love it

>The only Zelda game that let's me go on an adventure is the first fucking one.
And Link's Awakening?
>>339779790
Just read what there is of the book of glint
I'm enjoying the setting a lot, very much like a ttrpg I played with my freinds.no name, sorry, they made it
Such early mention of the dome makes me uneasy though
fallout
>>339781748
Link's awakening is great but you can't just do anything you want. It's a great adventure but I've played it once and don't really feel like playing it over again.
>>339782139
Like the first Fallout? the RPG? Tell me more.
>>339777748
Played any Metroid or any of the games like it? I heard Axium Verge was good.
>>339782258
you aren't held back and get to explore everything
>>339779218
Came here to post this
>>339778669
this desu
the combat system is very good but the gameplay gets repetitive quick and the world is not really that interesting
1st Mass Effect is godly at this
I will never ever forgive Bioware for ruining the series
>>339782430
Never heard of Axium Verge but Metroid is my favorite series and I won every game.
>>339782448
fallout or zelda?
>>339782894
man I know. I loved all the little shit about finding weird alien artifacts and spooky geth stuff. Fuck Mass Effect 3's ending. I'm on the fence about Andromeda though
>>339783181
>>339782430
I own* every game
>>339783181
bailout
>>339781027
Just get an emulator and try it dude, you'd be surprised, probably in a good way.
>>339777748
Legacy of Kain games might be worth a go.
>>339778826
gameplay isn't 100% there yet. Hard to navigate the world even when you know what you're doing. Pic related, my last character, she aspired to create a great work of art. died due to blood loss had her left arm torn off by a night creature.
reminder to report avatar fagging as its against global rules.
>>339783181
I fully expect Andromeda to be shit but I'll get it anyway and try to imagine I'm playing ME1 for the first time again
At least they're bringing back the Mako
>>339777748
>I want an adventure without a story
So you just want to dick around in a sandbox, except not because that's apparently chores?
I got nothing for you, buddy. Whatever the hell it is you're after, you're going to have to find a better description than "adventure".
>>339777748
>Buy or emulate one or more of the following systems: PS1, PS2, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Dreamcast.
>Buy or emulate games for them.
>Have an adventure.
Adventure is a lost art in modern gaming.
>>339777748
Dragon's Dogma
>>339784053
So you're retarded and don't understand what OP wants even though everyone else did. Good riddance.

Is it bad I bought an actual pc after playing on a toaster for years just to play DD at 60fps?
>>339784450
I made mine for das3 so no
>>339784450
at least you didn't build it just to play Minecraft, Counter Strike, or League like most people
>>339783769
hmm might be cool I'll take a look
>>339783907
yeah I'll probably buy it used or something. slightly hopeful
>>339784053
I'm not saying an adventure can't have a story. But when the exploration is locked behind a story it's not an adventure, it's more like a safari. you get to just loom at things but only as the car moves. And what I ment from Skyrim is that you don't actually find new things or unearth wonders. You find a person or item and he (or the item) tells you to go talk to some other guy or kill some things and return to him and that's your reward. Not the reward of actually finding something and exploring uncharted territory.
>>339784116
don't worry I've got systems.
>>339783834
Yeah guess you're right. I'll just post random images. Remember guys no fun allowed.
The greatest point and click games of all time and /v/ has never even heard of.We'll just ah... forget the 5th one.
>>339777748
Haven't checked all suggestions, but anyone got less combat oriented picks?
I always dig when the enviroment itself is the biggest enemy, but sadly most games who focus on that usually only accept one approach (like Zelda games only having one puzzle solution).
I don't care what my end goal is, but something that has many ways to be reached?
>>339784864
I liked the 5th, even as unfinished as it was. >tfw you will never get the magic bow as the thief ;;
Thanks for all the suggestions. Heading to bed. Have fun adventures, /v/.
