Fallout 4.
I started Fallout 4, instantly loved it, and got the initial few quests done and made my way into the open world. There were also side quests asking for help and stuff though. I thought to myself - let's knock out the small stuff so I can get the hang of this.
400 hours later I was basically fighting deathclaws with a high XP character and had barely completed past diamond City I think.
I didn't realize the side quests never stop and I'm an idiot but I was having fun anyway. I eventually looked up why I had to do so many and realized my issue. Finished the game shortly after because I had a maxed out character basically for beginner missions.
Wow! That's such a contemporary game. I've been a fan of Fallout since the original 2D games, so my warm feelings lie more with those.
That said, I did enjoy Fallout 4 on the PS3 (or PS4? I can't remember now). Anyway, I enjoyed that game a lot. It was a huge comfort while I was struggling through college.
I love those kinds of games that sort of feel like single player MMOs. You can just play and hang out in the world, and forget about your IRL worries for a few hours.
