Independence Day is a strange holiday. It’s a day where unsupervised kids set fire to public property, fleets of firetrucks sing the song of their people, street beggars switch their cardboard scribbles from “really hungry” to “army veteran,” and more red meat is consumed than can possibly be healthy (or safe for the cow population of North America). It’s also a holiday that’s falsely dated, as the Continental Congress actually voted for independence on July 2nd — regardless, the 4th of July is still a day that represents freedom. And what better way to enjoy that freedom than to ignore all responsibilities and play video games until it hurts to turn away from the monitor? Here’s Hardcore Gamer’s top four games to play on Independence Day weekend.
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.
I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.
I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.
Perfect. 👌👌
I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.
The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.
Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.
I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.
On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
lol half a day left(in EST anyway) better get to playing.
*Looks at time submitted*
Gee, thanks for the heads up....3 days late.
Funny thing is America is 9th on the list of nations with the most Freedom. It's like cheering because you got the lame medal for taking part. xD
