      Please do not misunderstand my question, I’m not judging whatsoever but I’m genuinely curious what the appeal is of this game. I bought it when I came out, I recently redownloaded it, I played for probably 20 hours total and I just don’t get it. Is it the absurdity? I want to love it I just don’t understand it. I’ve been meaning to ask in the Discords but I’m a bit of a coward.

        I mostly play JRPGs so I was in the same boat as you a while ago, I got to like the game after my girlfriend fell in love with it, making versions of the people you know and then overseeing their actions and the whackiness that ensues is pretty fun.

    Animal Crossing.

    Chill AF, rarely deal with other people, most dangerous thing in the entire universe makes you look silly until you sleep it off.

    Depends. Do I get cheat codes? If so, GTA:V. Get an awesome pad, planes, cars, helicopters. Can go on a rampage if I want or play games (golf, bowling, etc) and then just wipe it all away by dropping my wanted status to zero.

    Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. It has its downsides, such as Ganon and monsters existing, but then there are beautifully desolate environments like Akkala and Tabantha Frontier. Magic exists, and if the going gets tough we always have Link to rely on! I’d like to be a Rito so I could fly around…

      Also there’s a town of beautiful women where crossdressing is mandatory for men to even gain entry.

      Also, giant fairy ladies and dragons. And koroks. And delicious food.

    Assuming that to me the game world becomes real and isn’t limited to the same path that the video game forces the player to go through, I would probably pick one of the Dungeons & Dragons games like Planescape or at worst something like Curse of the Azure bonds.

      I’d say the lack of stimulus is the scarier thing there. The world is a vast thing, and even if you could live long enough to experience everything that exists now… huge amounts of new things to experience would have been created in the mean time.

      And that’s just our planet. There is a paralyzingly large amount of things to experience in the universe.
