Part 1/2 Long text ahead and a mixture of cringe RP stuff and "two stoned friends with way too much time on their hands" stuff. Be warned lol. I had kind of an internal monologue while doing this trail ride. Probably because I was inebriated, but regardless I took some mental notes and wanted to put it in writing before heading to bed. Everything is perfectly optional to read, of course, since I'm mostly writing this all for myself, but more power to you if you're interested! This post is kinda randomly peppered with screenshots I thought were pretty, and then some that are actually written about. I did my best to place them accordingly! The devs of the mod menu I use, Fortitude, recently added a slow motion feature which I've been having an absolute blast with! So tonight, accompanied by a lovely friend (whom I'm just going to refer to as Charles for simplicity's sake), I went on a nice long digital trail ride with Charles and took some screenshots. This was a whole ordeal lol. Started out rather normal, no issues whatsoever as we were in a private server and had all the time in the world to just take our time and take pics. We listened to music, smoked a bowl, just got comfy and prepared for a LONG journey because I wanted this whole thing to be in slowmo. Charles hasn't really played RDR2/RDO before, much less with mods, so I had to teach him a bit. But I digress! Early into the ride I started playing Angels and Airwaves, a band that I grew up with and love dearly. Turns out… Charles hates them lol. But he DID agree that they fit the Charles and Blair aesthetic really well with both sound and lyrics, plus helped me pick out the best song to put some clips to, so there's that. Then we ran into the red coyote. I tried my hardest to ignore it, truly. But my ADHD got the best of me. I think we spent the better part of 30 minutes in a constant back and forth of "Where is it?!" "THERE!!" "WHERE?!" "RIGHT THERE!" "I CAN'T SEE WHERE YOU'RE POINTING, YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT ROOM!" Let me tell you, chasing a coyote with cinematic mode on and in slow motion is HARD. I wish I had gotten some better pictures. Oh well though, the experience was worth it. And then I killed the poor thing. I didn't mean to, but I ran it over a couple of times and that did it in. I was actually gonna let it go after taking pics, and just let it despawn, but I guess little coyotes are no match for two stomps of an Arabian's hooves. So after selling the little cutie to Gus and getting my garment (that's my fave legendary and I somehow hadn't gotten it yet; I only let myself get legendaries when I see them in game and won't spawn them for myself), we continued south. More screenies, ofc, and I wanted to hurry through Armadillo (that town gives me the creeps. Also, I waved to a cop once and immediately became wanted) but Charles insisted we stop so he can buy some food (I told him how to fill his cores but he was immersed at this point lol, brave soul had been riding almost entirely in first person). So while he went to the general store, I chilled out with Johnny and Taima (Johnny is my horse, the brindle Arabian) and took some more pics. I caught a glimpse of Charles sprinting his big ass out of the shop when I said I was doing so, he immediately came running and said "Wait! I wanna see what [Charles] looks like on Johnny!" As if I was about to let that photography opportunity slip by lmao. Seeing Charles sprint is HILARIOUS btw. He's got kind of a naturally bow legged stride, and he honestly kinda runs like it's heavy. Iykyk. I gotta break the post off here bc Tumblr isn't cooperating, but I'll post part two in just a second. ♥

A Whole New (Open) World - Five of the Best Open-World Maps in Games

   The best stories give you a sense of adventure and discovery, and no medium can sell that feeling better than video games. Controlling your character in their journey and deciding their course on your own is the next best thing to actually being there yourself, and it’s in open-world games that this feeling really shines. Exploration is the name of the game here, with the best open worlds being vast and full of content to discover. What could be hidden around this corner? Or up that mountain? It’s easy to get lost in these grand adventurous maps, and that’s why I’ve gathered up a handful of great examples of the best open worlds in gaming. Sit back and enjoy the journey!

Sable    Do you like the idea of driving around the outback just to see where you could end up, but would rather do it from the comfort of your own home? Sable is the game for you. The game is just about you, your bike, and the vast open desert. It’s as relaxing and non-linear as it gets, and the desert itself has enough variety in the environment to avoid feeling same-y. There are a handful of side missions to carry you between the small settlements scattered about, as well as collectables that are spread out across the map without being too hard to find. Climbing up the sheer cliffs and mountains dotting the desert is incredibly impressive and satisfying, and gliding safely down to the ground is a great way to scout out new locations to investigate. There’s also plenty of cool lore and worldbuilding spread throughout the game, making Sable both a relaxing and fascinating open world to explore at your own pace.

Red Dead Redemption 2    Red Dead Redemption 2 proves that size really does matter - at least when it comes to maps. The Old West of RDR2 is absolutely massive, sitting at roughly 75 square miles of snowy mountains, thick forests, and open plains. The map is alive with countless NPCs and random events, from bandits ambushing you to helpless civilians that could really use a ride home. You could play this game for weeks, months even, and still find new random encounters all over the place. Exploring the West is surprisingly calming despite the dangerous wildlife and enemy crooks roaming about - the game features a “Cinematic Mode”, which allows you to sit back and enjoy the view while your horse follows whatever road you’ve put it on, without interrupting any story dialogue or important events that might need to happen on the way. The map of RDR2 feels real and lived-in, adding to the realistic nature of the game and its story.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet    The world of Pokémon has always been a vast and colourful one, and Scarlet & Violet opens it up for exploration like no game before in the series. The Paldea Region is the biggest map in the franchise so far, full of diverse environments populated by all kinds of Pokémon, new and old. The map is well-marked, letting you know exactly what is where, making it easy to figure out where you might want to go next. Certain locations can be quick-travelled to, but if you’re in the mood for exploration, the new legendary Pokémon acquired at the very beginning of the game, Koraidon or Miraidon, can be ridden like mounts to speed across the land! The map is heavily populated, so get ready to encounter new battles and wild Pokémon to catch every few metres - if you gotta catch ‘em all, prepare for a long ride across Paldea!

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga    What’s better than an open-world map? Twenty-four open-world maps! LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga takes the staple of LEGO games featuring open explorable hub worlds and brings it to a new level, with almost every single planet in the entire nine-film-long saga being a fully explorable map. Each planet includes dozens of collectables of various kinds, plus side missions and challenges that bring the total number of extra activities to over 1,000. That’ll keep you busy! From the desert sands of Tatooine and the frozen plains of Hoth, to the dark stormy Exegol and the towering skyscrapers of Coruscant, the game features every environment imaginable in beautiful brick-built detail. The various side missions will carry you from world to world, making the galaxy feel truly connected instead of being just a bunch of unrelated maps. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, LEGO, or just have that completionist instinct, the maps of this game will always have something for you.

Sunset Overdrive    One of the most important parts of a good open world is the ability to navigate it in an easy and interesting way, and Sunset Overdrive is a perfect example, with one of the most fun and exhilarating kinds of mobility I’ve ever played with in a game. Grind rails and bouncy objects line the entire map - you could jump, swing and slide a dozen laps around the city, taking a new route each lap, and never touch the ground. Speed and momentum is the name of the game, and it’s tied well into all the various collectables and challenges found throughout the map, such as timed races and items that require tough platforming skills to reach. You even get bonus points for battling enemies in the most stylish fashion possible! Add all that to the colourful and cartoony style of Sunset Overdrive, and you’ve got the biggest adrenaline rush an open-world game could offer.

   With that, our open-world exploration comes to an end. Which of these maps were your favourite? Do you know any other open worlds that belong on this list? Let me know! Reblogs and likes are appreciated, and thank you for reading!
