What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

It's brilliant. I know it got a lot of stick for being released unfinished (rightly so), but its now been patched and tweaked making it one of the best open world games around.

It looks amazing and runs really well too, even on older hardware.

IMO yes.

- not experienced a game world that feels so lived in and alive before (closest thing that comes to mind is assassins creed unity), not to mention, the sheer density of the world. If you like this kind of world, you will want to explore every corner
- the side missions are incredible, some of the best imo with how fleshed out they are, not like witcher 3 where it just feels stretched out and a load of waffling for the sake of having dialogue
- number of ways to play the game, full on guns blazing, melee build (either samurai like or just brute force) or more stealth/hacking type
- upgrade/skill tree to tailor to the above play style

There is just a lot to do.

And of course, having incredible visuals adds to the enjoyment and immersion.

Some of the late-game Cyberpunk side-missions have writing that's among the best I've ever seen in a game. It's really sad that the state the game launched in meant that for a long time, you'd get shouted down for trying to talk about its actual content. The whole "jailhouse Jesus" quest chain deserves as much attention as Witcher 3's Bloody Baron.

Yup it was a master piece, the one with River Ward and his case was incredible too.

Haters gonna hate though.

I've been playing through it for a good 25+ hours now, while I am enjoying it (as I like good story driven games) personally, the game world itself feels lifeless in respect to random NPC's, they are very wooden, and their reactions to you aren't very varied. Compared to how interactive NPC's were in RDR2 for example, it just doesn't compare.

That is true to some extent but RDR 2 is on a much much much smaller scale, it's mainly st dennis for that "lived in/alive" feeling.
 
Back to Dota2 now instead of WoW, when I started levelling my 3rd character just for something to do in between raids I realised it was time for a change. Mixing it up with some Rainbow 6 and a bit of Avowed (Xbox).

Finally upgrading my GPU means I finally have started Cyberpunk.

First run through before I'll chuck a bunch of mods at it and throw in optiscaler.

Getting sidetracked, happily.

It took me 3 attempts to really get into cyberpunk. Rarely made it past Lizzie's bar.
That third attempt though? I got sucked right in and that game is nothing short of exceptional. Just a bit of a shame it had such a torrid release because in its current state it really oozes quality and shine.

I'm 9.5 hours into Assassin's Creed Shadows and I'm having a really good time. So much so I spend my day thinking of it whilst at work
