Just got back to Civ 5 and could not record any game over the last 3-4 years I was invested in.

Red Dead Redemption 2, busy hunting animals to drip Arthur out! Best 100 hrs of gameplay OF MY LIFE!

Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump up those numbers.

I’m at 264 rn

I'm only 37, but chiming in anyways. I can spend hours just riding my horse, camping, hunting, and fishing. I always wished R* would have taken that engine and map, and just made a full cowboy simulator with it. No storyline or missions, I just want to build a ranch, raise and sell livestock, and protect it from bandits. That would be the last game I ever needed to own.

Just turned 40, started my 3rd play through last night. I always turn to this game when I’ve got a lot of stress and other shit going on in life, not sure why but things always come together when I close my days out with a little RDR2.

Just turned 40 myself. My game of choice the past 10 years is League of Legends. If I don’t get 30min to myself at 7pm most days, I will murder my family.

Hey, this thread is for 40+ not 40= ;)

Beautiful scenery, engaging quests, and you get to blast stuff with a sawed-off. No mystery there.

Early 40s, can confirm that RDR2 hit the spot. Played a lot of it this year.

The only part I dont like is I get that "building a house" song stuck in my head!

Bow da bow da bow da bow bah BAH NOW! and there it is again.

Sadly, saying hello to people in towns was my only social contact with people during Lockdown...

[–] TerahardJuan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What you should have done is made your whole community play RDR Online...

Same game for me.

[–] RP702@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

45, just had a breakup of a 5 year relationship and RDR2 was my first game played on a new PC. What an experience. I hunted and screwed around way too long when I knew what was coming.

42yo. Best game I’ve ever played. I spent hours one day searching out the best spots to camp and watch the views.
