Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Looking for suggestions.

It must be open world with free exploration.

We can leave the Fallout series out.

"Dying Light" is a great open world zombie apocolypse game. That came out in 2015. Recent enough??

Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

The first person parkour aspect of the game makes me motion sick, otherwise I would have enjoyed Dying Light.

Horizon Zero Dawn looks pretty good and is on my to-play list.

Yes! I haven't played HZD yet because it's not available for Xbox but I'd like to play that game so much.

I'm going to get it when it goes on sale again. What sort of games do you like playing besides post-apocalyptic?

With the exception of sports games, I play a little bit of anything. Since last year I've been playing a lot of Destiny 2.

What about you, what sort of games do you like?

BTW: Did you know I was Xbox Live friends with Lara? We never played anything together because he was afraid I was going to wipe the floor with him in Mortal Kombat.

No, I didn't know that! I'm a PC gamer, so I don't use a gaming console these days, although I have in the past.

I like Action/Adventure, RPGs, Time Management, Survival, Life Simulation, MMORPGs sometimes, the occasional sandbox. So, I play a bit of everything as well except horror, I'm not really into those, but I'll watch someone else do a playthrough.

Biomutant seems interesting and it's going to be released soon, apparently.

Thanks!

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

The visuals seem nice but I think this game involves too much micromanagement for me.

OMFG then why didnt you just say that n***a?? Do you know how much nicer I would have been to you if i knew that? fuck! it could have been so different!

Lol I jest, I remember you used to talk about Sims alot, but I kinda thought that you are one of those people who only plays certain games, a ' waste boxer ' as I call them lol.

What else u play?

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Way too many to name them all but here are some:

Right now, I'm juggling between Saints Row the Third Remastered, This Land is My Land, and a Plague of Innocence, but I have played almost all of the Assassin's Creed games, the Far Cry series, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and 4, the Witcher series, Dead Island series, WOW, FFXIV, FFXV, Neverwinter, DOOM, Life is Strange, EverQuest, Risen 2 & 3, Sleeping Dogs, GTA, Mass Effect, Vampyr, The Long Dark, Lord's Fallen, Tiny Nightmares, Warframe, TERA, Vindictus, The Walking Dead series, Gothic and a shit ton more that I don't feel like listing.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Oh sweet. I never could get into the saints row games, too silly for me. Youd think a guy with my personality would enjoy beating people to death with dildos right? lol but nope.

I recently got the walking dead definitive edition and im slowley working my way through it, but its kinda lame when you already know whats going to happen, and I do not look forward to season 3 and 4 because they fuggin suck, but when it was getting released episodicly I never actually finished it because by the time telltale went bust i already hated season 4 and just gave up.

But I brought the D edition to finish what i started, considering I invested a few years of fandom into it!

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

I like silly games like Saints Row and just finished up Agents of Mayhem. I only played the first few episodes of TWD telltale series because they were gifted to me. Normally, horror games aren't my thing. I'm much too squeamish for that. Lol

Yeah, I like the Sims games, but that's not all I play. As you can see, I'm into a little bit of everything. I wanted to play RDR 1 & 2, but couldn't really get into the whole "old west" theme. If you know of any great open world survival games besides Last of US because I'm not into the zombie genre either, let me know.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

besides Last of US because I'm not into the zombie genre either,

Most open world survival games do include zombies these days, or some sort of zombie like threat. A game called RUST is coming out soon that me and my friends were gunna buy, its PVP and PVE, but we decided not to buy it when we found out about the MONTHLY server wipes, screw grinding your ass off only to have all your progress rolled back every 4 weeks.

There is a non zombie open world game called The Long Dark where you fight against the elements, but I have not played it or even looked into it so I cant really speak for its quality.

You really should give RDR2 a second chance dude, seriously one of the top 3 games I have ever played in my life, and, not trying to say that you are a snowflake or anything, but despite it being set in the old west, it hardly references the way black people were treated back then ( that may actually be seen as a good thing OR a bad thing I guess )

But yeah, aside from a few in mission conversations with a black character, you would be forgiven for forgetting how racist it was back then because the game hardly mentions it.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

I've heard about RUST and it's on my wish list, but now that you mentioned the server wipes, I might remove it. The thought of losing all of my inventory after grinding so hard for it doesn't sound very appealing to me.

I've played The Long Dark; it's posted in my list above and I was just telling Évariste about it. It's a really good game if you don't mind having to scavenge for everything to survive.

I might try RDR at some point in time, but I think This Land is My Land is close enough for now.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

The server wipes on rust may just be a console thing, consoles cannot handle the type of data that PCs can for too long. Since you are playing TLIML i take it you are on PC.

I've played The Long Dark; it's posted in my list above

Yeah I swear I saw it in your list but while writing that I could not remember your list in full and did not wanna back out of the thread to check as I would have lost all that I typed, coulda just copied and pasted it now that I think about it lol my bad.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Yeah, I do all of my gaming on a PC. I'll look into RUST and see if the server wipes are just console based or includes all platforms.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

The title "The Long Dark" reminds me of The Long Reach, which is a very interesting little adventure game.

I love how ridiculous Saints Row the Third is.

Dead Island received so much hate because people considered the trailer misleading but it was actually a good zombie game.

I love everything I've played from Telltale Games. Tales from the Borderlands may actually be my favorite game from the Borderlands series. It certainly is my favorite from Tt.

Mass Effect is my favorite game series of all. I'm so glad you mentioned it because I seize every opportunity I can to say how much I love the series. I'm Mass Effect vegan: I need to mention ME.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

The Long Dark is an open world post-apocalyptic survival game that takes place in a frozen tundra during the coldest winter on record. You have to scavenge for everything you need to survive while searching the landscape for survivors.



I love how ridiculous Saints Row the Third is.

Same here! Have you played Saints Row 4?? It's even wackier with aliens, no less. Lol

Dead Island received so much hate because people considered the trailer misleading but it was actually a good zombie game.

I didn't enjoy playing Dead Island as much as I should have because my nerves were always on edge!! Always looking over my shoulder for some random zombie to run up on me. Pressure!!

I love everything I've played from Telltale Games. Tales from the Borderlands may actually be my favorite game from the Borderlands series. It certainly is my favorite from Tt.

Tales from the Borderlands looks like a fun game, but I've never played it despite watching a walkthrough.

Mass Effect is my favorite game series of all. I'm so glad you mentioned it because I seize every opportunity I can to say how much I love the series. I'm Mass Effect vegan: I need to mention ME.

Mass Effect is awesome and I never got to finish it. I stopped playing it right before I upgraded my graphics card and really should get back into it, because I love intergalactic sci-fi games.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

its TTs second best game imo, i do not really care for the main borderlands games but i loved this! fyi tho if u do play it, episode 5 was REALLY bugged and kinda ruined the fun for me, right at the end.

But yeah, a fun and friendly game, i recommend!

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Have you played Saints Row 4??
I have. I actually started with the Third, then I moved on to 4, finished it and went back to the Third.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Damn, The Long Dark is beautiful!

It's available through Xbox Game Pass, so I decided to give it a try and, oh boy, I'm glad I did. Thank you so much for the recommendation.

Beautiful visuals, great ambiance, superb soundtrack.

Now the icing on the cake: Episode two starts with the song The Lion's Roar, by the Swedish duo First Aid Kit and I simply love them. Their song My Silver Lining plays during the end credits for Tales from the Borderlands, which is a game I love immensely.

its gay that w probably wont be getting a second season of TFTBL =[

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

It is such a shame what happened to the studio. The way they treated their employees was awful.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Not really open world but The Last of us is a great apocalypse game!

Thank you for making this thread btw, while reading it I realised that I have not really played any open world games of this type, save for fallout. I'm going to monitor it and keep an eye out for some good suggestions

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

The Last of Us is simply one of my favorite games!

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Right? I actually LIKED the 2nd game too…..well, not THAT part never that part

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

I kinda wanna suggest DayZ to you, its open world, and has Zombies and wolfs and bears and PVP, but if you are playing on console then id suggest looking it up first, its not that great on console, full of bugs and has been for years. PC version looks good tho.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Biomutant could take that title once it gets released in a few weeks.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

Seems interesting but I haven't played on PC for quite some time now.

Have you played Ark: Survival Evolved?

"Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

yeah. Fuck ark. I really disliked that game.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

It was laggy and buggy on console, my friend is confused why i hate it, he thinks that because i like the Jurassic Park films i should like this game. I like the JP because they do their best to show how Dinos actually acted….and I seriously doubt you could make a real life T rex your pet by throwing a rock at its head and shoving some berries in its mouth.

The best thing about ARK is that your character takles shits at random times and w/o warning. You could get to a point where you are so advanced with electricity and metal armour and guns….yet you would still happily drop a duke while climbing up a ladder.

The best moment I ever had on Ark is when my friends character punched my character and my character just happened to drop a random turd at the exact same time he hit me, both being stoners we were LOLING for ages lol

I haven't played it that much. I did a couple of things solo. I kind of liked the game but it requires too much grinding for you to do anything.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

It's a great game.

Re: Best post apocalyptic open world video game of recent years?

You only wish to leave out the Fallout games because you know they are BEST. You are looking for second best because having played through Fallout you need new challenges.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.
