Thank you so much for these suggestions! I will most definitely start trying all of these out. Time to dive into some youtube videos on each first.

I suggest taking a peak at Final Fantasy XIV. They offer a generous free trial if I recall. If you like story-driven games then that I think you may enjoy.

 

Edit: To clarify, Final Fantasy XIV is a MMORPG that is story-driven and gates new areas behind story progression. A new expansion is launching in November and in my experience the community is one of the least toxic communities I've ever seen for MMOs. You don't really need to know too much about any other Final Fantasy games to get in to it. It references a lot from other FF games but not knowing them shouldn't affect your enjoyment of the game.

Mafia (series)...

 

-Mafia (2002) (still my #1 video game experience to date. I replay this here and there as the years pass and it never fails to deliver a top notch experience. but when I replay this for a while now I have been using a unlimited draw distance mod and a wide screen fix which makes it display in a proper aspect ratio on modern resolutions like 1080p etc)

 

-Mafia II (2010) (and the Definitive Editon (2020) which gives a small boost to overall graphics but at the same time it's got some bugs. so overall a new comer to the series I would probably go with the original 2010 version overall)

 

-Mafia III (2016) (even though this is the worst of the series overall, it's underrated)

 

-Mafia: Definitive Edition (2020) (a remake of the original 2002 version. the original is still superior overall but this is a nice graphics boost etc. but the three main characters ain't as interesting in this as in the original which mainly comes back to the voice acting as Tommy/Paulie/Sam is just superior in the original vs this remake which is partially why the original is better. but I do feel they did Salieri/Frank justice though in this remake. even in terms of look... Tommy(main character)/Paulie/Sam are a bit too altered vs original where as Salieri/Frank you can tell who they are).

 

the Mafia series is superior to the overrated GTA series if you ask me. because in terms of playing through the single player, which is what these games are all about, the Mafia series are games I replay from time-to-time as the years pass where as the GTA series, while good enough to playthrough once, don't have the lasting impact on me like the Mafia games do and I have no urge to replay those. sure, you can see GTA has a big budget etc, but they just don't have the magic that the Mafia series does. Mafia (2002) is a masterpiece (a word I rarely use) as it's my #1 video game experience to date (even to this very day I can honestly say it's #1 (even though graphics are obviously showing it's age but the overall experience is still top notch).

 

since the OP mentioned it... I used to be a rather big fan of the Hitman series (which I have been playing since the old days when each was new basically (2000/2002/2004/2006 etc)). but looking back on it... that series peaked for me with Hitman Contracts (2004) (i.e. the 3rd game of the series). I did play Hitman Blood Money (2006) (the 4th game of the series) but after that I pretty much lost interest in the series as I played a bit of Hitman Absolution (2012) (the 5th game of the series) but never finished it and a little of Hitman (2016) but never really had any urge to finish it etc.

 

also, I think the Call of Duty series has been pretty much the same ol' crap for many years now. in the old days I remember liking the series a little but lost interest in that shortly after. I was never a big fan of this series though for whatever that's worth. but it seems like everytime a new one comes out the "reviewers" overpraise it. even in terms of multiplayer shooters... Counter-Strike is definitely my clear cut #1 long term as I used to play that pretty heavily back from 2000 through about mid-2000's or so.

Guild Wars 2, especially if you like Elder Scrolls Online (ESO)

The base game & World Story 1 are now free so you can jump in before buying the latter expansions / world stories.

The base game is designed to get you to level 80, all content after that is designed for level 80.

Then I would recommend playing Morrowind.

I am currently playing it on OpenBSD and it is still a fun game in 2024.

Many people think it is the best RPG ever made.

 

 

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on OpenBSD

Personally, as an older mature gamer. I do have to recommend that you play Red Dead Redemption 2. It is one of my favorite games at the moment. I've played through it once and completed the game. Now I'm currently enjoying the game up until chapter 4. Because I want Arthur healthy. Another game I highly recommend is Grand Theft Auto Five. I've played through the story mode twice already. Both games are visually gorgeous in my personal opinion. I have other games in my library at the moment. But, I have yet had the time or willpower to get started or even get into them yet.

    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
