I've done my standard thing where I lose interest in going back to the games I was only partway through, so I'm looking for something new.
Was thinking of either Metro Exodus or Forza Horizon 4. Or maybe The Show? I don't know...I've been gone from that game for 5+ years and now RTTS mode almost looks too much like an RPG for my liking in the genre, so I'm not sure how much interest I'd have.
Anyone have thoughts on those or any other recent recommendations?
Have you watched streams of RTTS? I still enjoy it a lot personally; I don't find it to be too RPG-like. I'm not a big RPG guy but maybe I have a little more tolerance for it than you do, idk. RTTS isn't like 2K where you have cut scenes after every game, have to respond to interview questions, etc (at least up until this year's MLB anyways). I haven't bought this year's game yet, but from reading about it, I think this year's game went a little more in the RPG direction but I don't think it's anywhere near 2K in that regard yet. Still seems like you're mostly just playing the games with an occasional cut scene mixed in. RTTS remains my favorite career mode ever by a pretty significant margin; it's just so much easier to get through games in MLB than it is any other sports game (despite my overall love for 2K).
RPGs are my jam - it’s almost exclusively what I play. But the NBA2K model of making a sports game into an RPG is decidedly not my jam. I’m skeptical of what RTTS hasn’t become from what I’ve heard and read, but checking out some streams wouldn’t hurt. Good suggestion.
That said, I’m kinda good for now. Forza Horizon 4 is **** amazing.
