Death Stranding, the sci-fi delivery simulator developed by Kojima Productions set in a near-future post-apocalyptic America likes to throw a lot of these random deliveries at you from time to time. Like delivering original PlayStations, detailed model weapons, items used by old robot-lovers and the fountain pens of famous writer's of years past. But one of these standard orders that you'll be tackling often if you like to sweat out Premium Deliveries like me is delivering "classic open-world games".
Death Stranding is set in our universe, and likes to reference a lot from our own current pop culture, including Super Mario (which I'm surprised Nintendo let him get away with). Which brings me to my question. These classic open-world games that Sam Porter Bridges is delivering to various preppers around the nation. What do you reckon they are? I don't know when the Death Stranding timeline diverges from ours (prolly a few decades) but in that time, there's a possibility that the various open-world games we've gone on to trash like Fallout 4 have actually become revered classics!
Okay, jokes aside though. Open-world games. Which ones would you say are fit to be classified as 'classics' or 'modern classics' and why? I'd wager Skyrim as it ushered in a new benchmark for open-world RPGs when it comes to the scale of the world, production values, the big ol' soundtrack and the ridiculously expansive lore that TES games are known for. A quintessential fantasy adventure for the whole family.
If I'm being honest, you could probably throw GTA V into the pile too. Knowing Kojima, one of these games is absolutely MGSV because why not ;^) The thought of picturing Sam delivering these games which for some reason weigh a ton to randos has got me chuckling like a fool. "Bro I need my copy of Daggerfall PLZZZ!!1"
What say you, Era? What's your pick(s) and why?
