This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I still can't get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.
Avowed
It’s incredible
Breath of the Wild
Bruh, I still haven't gotten over oblivion. Skyrim never scratched that itch.
BotW has significantly better open world exploration and puzzles but much weaker towns.
I played it for a few hours and stopped. Extremely boring
Zelda botw and totk
No.
maybe Days Gone
Zombie hordes and motorcycles in an open world. Feels kind of like Far Cry 3/4/5.
The Witcher series is probably the closest one
Also, World of Warcraft. Sure, it's an MMO, not a regular RPG, but you can complete it entirely on your own, and you'll get a rich and vibrant world full of enough stories to keep you there for thousands of hours. In fact, I would advise you to start with the Classic version - a remake of 2004 World of Warcraft - so as not to get overwhelmed with content, before heading into newer ones.
Also, if you truly insist on solo/coop play, things like AzerothCore allow you to host a private World of Warcraft server for yourself and/or friends.
Hogwarts legacy is pretty sick. But yeah, witcher 3 has dlc this year and witcher 4 next. Pretty sick.
"I want to try something newer, with better technology" this is where you are wrong little guy(i use guy in gender neutral), in most cases for games its usually better to try something older. you want a genuine rich first person RPG? play morrowind, detailed character creation, huge sandbox and you can just make your own story in it, just don't use the iron dagger if your character isn't proficient with it, its an rpg, if your character is bad at something the combat will really show it.
