Slightly off topic but the level of technical and artistic detail in GTA5 never ceases to amaze me. It's shame it's so muddled thematically but it's a tour de Force of game development

I think Rockstar truly took that attention to detail to the next level with Red Dead Redemption 2. Everything is taken into account, down to the animal behaviour. You can even spot birds! https://www.audubon.org/news/birding-its-1899-inside-blockbu...

I sometimes just start rdr2 just to be amazed again on how far game development has come. It's a shame though that as an programmer, I can't really play games anymore without constantly thinking: "how is that made?" And before I know it I'm taken out of the game and imagining algorithms. Very annoying, but can't help myself.

How marvelous the true nature of nature.

Forget "Men Who Stare At Goats" - now we have "Thugs who Stare At Fountains" :D But jokes aside, this is a really interesting and approachable article! It just suffers a little bit from the writer not being a native speaker. I'm German myself, maybe that's why I notice the German tendency to "concatenate" words (e.g. "surface-topology" or "cloth-simulation") even more when it is (mis)used in English? Just some constr…

I will happily second this. Along with Horizon Zero Dawn, this is the most amazing game I’ve played in years. I’ll start it up sometimes just to go horseback riding along the amazing scenery, or go fishing, or bird watching, or hunting, or any number of the seemingly pointless things you can do in that game. It’s very therapeutic, especially after a stressful day.

RDR2 is mind-blowing. I've already finished the game, and am still playing it just to walk around and do silly stuff like fishing and hunting, which I would NEVER normally do in a game.
But I can't keep away from RDR2. It's by far the best game ever created IMHO.
I've never been so moved by an ending (I got the "high honor" ending in the main game).

I rarely play games these days now that I have 3 kids under 5 years old. The last full game I played for GTA V on my still working xbox 360. If GTA VI comes out , I will probably buy a new console just so I can play the game knowing that I might not use the console for that game only
