Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are the ones that Immediately come to mind. I’m sure there’s more but those immediately flash out.

Also, Usually there would be Bethesda titles galore, but I feel like after Skyrim, their games have been just pretty good and not the masterpieces of western RPGS they were before.

So what comes to mind with you guys, what are your favorite games of the 8th console (or video games in general) generation?

    I guess I would have liked the ending more if it was exactly the same, but Sam just hadn't taken any coins. Nate having to specifically choose to sink the treasure is a fine conclusion to his arc in the game (and frankly, him giving up the treasure by just stopping the search partway through doesn't really work narratively- he had to reject it in a more concrete way), and Sam declaring that he only wanted the treasure because family is a bit hokey, but it does also function to close his arc and explain why his obsession isn't enough to kill him. I just feel like having all that, but Sam also kept some coins to give to Nate... like, it works thematically, but I think it would have been stronger to not have that.

      Totally valid! Think they were just trying to give the characters as happy a send off as possible, and it's enjoyable enough. I don't mind the cheat so much I guess because I enjoy the happy ending selfishly and don't mind paying for it in this game with a little inconsistency.
