Date: April 22nd, 2026 4:01 PM Author: Walnut Provocative Therapy Trailer Park You are better off starting with GTA: San Andreas or just going straight to GTA 5. GTA III is great, but it is dated. It gets to be more fun for sure, but it doesn't have the variety or dynamism of later games. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859368&forum_id=2#49834779) |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 4:10 PM Author: Kink-friendly crackhouse sound barrier Elden Ring’s is pretty good if you have a lot of time on your hands or ingenious intuition about things. The way that some quests progress is like NES Simon’s Quest tier if not more cryptic.
Every one of these games that has lots of Fields and Land bores me automatically btw. They need to stop making these imo. Like Zelda’s open world has shrines which have Things inside of them. Land and trees and Herbs and Caves are bullshit if that’s all there is. |

Also there’s a cool af underground area with multiple entrances and exits on the overworld. Other things like that too probably which I never found. |
