I think you come across the female palaeontologist whilst you are at the camp near Valentine. All she does is ask you to send on bones via the post office/stations when you find them. I only found 3 in the wilds...a couple others I looked up on internet. Others...didn’t bother.
Same is true with dream catchers...found about half of them whilst exploring but didn’t bother with all. Will do if I play it all again.

Yeah I remember meeting the palaeontologist, but not come across any bones yet. Same with the treasure maps.

After playing RDR2 in 2020 up until chapter 2, I have revisited in Oct 2024 on PS4 (my time playing RDR2 was rudely interrupted by starting 'The last of Us' and thinking games don't get better than this! Story, characters, gameplay etc.) and fookin loving the open world adventure....

perhaps I was too daunted by the sheer scale, randomness and unable to work Deadeye etc. properly!
But now really enjoying all that aspect of it.


Anyhow, I'm a bit slow in regards of getting the latest games, as shown with my Football manager saves (on FM18 sporadically nowadays) and looking for inspiration regarding these types of games?

Any recommendations (apart from getting out more! 🤔)?

GTA 5, Days gone, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost of Tsushima. Witcher series is meant to be good but never played it. Probably missed off some really obvious ones as well.

Get on Ghosts of Tsushima. Been pout a few years so you can pick it up cheap somewhere. One of the best games I've ever played.

For open world games I find Assassins Creed hit and miss but I really enjoyed Odyssey and the most recent one set in Baghdad. Odyssey is absolutely huge and they've basically covered a scale model of Ancient Greece, the Baghdad one is more contained but still massive

Story, characters, gameplay etc.) and fookin loving the open world adventure - Witcher 3 would be my recommendation for all of these things

I could never really get into Witcher.

Even GTA (the last one) I did all the storyline and got a bit bored just driving about.

I do like open world games though, I installed Mafia thinking it would be along the same lines but it wasn't :(

I love/d GTA V, realised that it's been out 11(!) years and I still like to have a mooch about in the world they've created.

I played through the remaster of the first Mafia and it's weird that they set a linear game in such a great looking open world, outside of free roam mode you could play the whole thing through and not see most of it. I've got back into Mafia 3 which has such a good setting and possibly the best soundtrack in game history but it's very repetitive.

I'd go onto Metacritic, filter by top rated PS4 games, and go down the list until I see something that piques your interest - check user reviews too, but if you find something with both good overall critic and overall user reviews it's more than likely decent.

Couldn't get into GTA 5 unfortunately as my driving skills on video games is shocking 😭.... always crashing!

Days Gone and ghost of Tsushima interest me a lot but heard DG was a bit of a flop?

Just bought Witcher 3 GOTY, so I will look forward to that, not played the other 2 previous games, does it matter? Should I read up on the lore a little?

GoT appears to be still holding it's value, so not as cheap as you'd think!? Around £20-25 second hand.

I think that bodes well as an indication of how good it is 👍

Cheers

Re. RDR 1 (not 2), I have a PS3 and PS4 pro.
Is it worth the extra money to play it on PS4 instead of PS3? as it's only around £3 on the latter and £35 on PS4!

Days Gone is absolutely fantastic, I think it was IGN who absolutely hammered it in their review of it and it put of loads of people but for me it's one of the best games of this gen.

I've just remembered about Mad Max, it has a real sense of being desolate and vulnerable. I'm pritty sure it uses the same combat system as Arkham Asylum game.

Just a heads up...re. Batman, the 'Arkham collection' on PS4 is £5.99 for 3 games on PS Store until 22/11 atm.
And Mad Max is £3.99.

Never played Batman, but at £6 should I be looking to buy them? Any good? I've had a brief look at reviews...

Coincidentally, MMax, Days Gone and Batman is there a lot of bike/car travel?

Mad max is a lot of car travel going to different sections, but it's a vast open world. It's not a tight city like GTA V,

Days Gone has lots of bike travel but it adds in other elements, so for example you burn fuel as you're using the bike, so you tend to be cautious with it and just feather the throttle to conserve fuel etc. obviously you also need to find fuel to refill your bike.

It's been years since I played the Batman games but IIRC there's about a decent chunck of the game where you solely travel by vehicles, and I'm pritty sure it's quite poor driving mechanics. If you struggle with GTA V driving you have no chance with this game.

Watchdogs is another decent series of games but lots of driving.

I would say at those prices for the Arkham and Mad Max games it's an absolute no brainer. Fantastic games.

Nah, I didn't play the previous games either. It's a bit confusing at first but you eventually get to know the characters and world.
GOTY edition comes with the expansions as well which feel like standalone games in themselves.
It's probably my favourite game ever and has quite a bit of replayability

After a search, the PS3 version is a bit buggy/laggy due to frame rate, unfortunately.

Hugely underrated, loved the atmosphere of that game. Shame a sequel was dropped, would have happily gone in for more

All great, the first (Asylum) is my favourite as it's more confined and claustrophobic whereas the others possibly go too expansive (depends entirely on your taste for this kind of thing though). £6 for all three is an incredible bargain, I'm tempted by that myself even though I've played them all through
