If you want a deeper story and plenty of hours play I would recommend Assassins Creed (I've just completed Origins which was good fun), and Red Dead 2 (No spoiler but there is a "Virus" story arc which kinda fits in with the times).

If youve got an XBOX id give the Game Pass a go - Theres always offers available for new customers who havent subscribed to it yet.

I'd recommend Prey if you haven't played this one already?

It's a super atmospheric, story rich, open world set aboard a space station. Some really cool stealth and crafting elements in there. Killer sound track to boot!

If you haven't already, I highly recommend playing the Mass Effect trilogy. I know it's a bit old now but it still holds up and is pretty deep, especially the first game. And I'd agree with sidetracked and say Outer worlds is probably the best recent Sci FI rpg.

Haven’t ever tried Outer worlds but seen a little YouTube video of it. Looks an awesome game. Fallout 4 is quite a good game to loose some hours to, though it isn’t quite sci fi it has element of it through out.

I really enjoyed Outer Worlds recently. It's a sci-fi action RPG with a really cool world to explore. It can get fairly challenging on the highest difficulty.

Great character development in this one.

Decentralized game economies will help on all of these fronts
for a while ;)

what are decentralized game economies?

Basically instead of the game studio owning every piece of property in the game space, the players do. Tools, skins, characters and any other asset can be bought and sold by individuals in a free market. A blockchain records all transactions and facilitates this trade.

it seems to me the more immersive the platform the tougher it gets on the body. cheap vr gets on my nerves before i get queezy, a full on setup with peripherals and i feel like its a portal just getting back to irl.

About 15 minutes. I only use it for porn : D

jeez it takes me longer than that to decide on porn :)

Same, although i was watching porn for about 3, maybe 4 minutes. Not gonna lie.

I'm a tantric Sex God. But also over 40, drinking relatively heavily and dabbing up to half a g a day. Y'know how it goes...

I wish i did mate, i'm over 40 and a heavy drinker.

Sting with his tantric stuff was an influence on me, but only when i had to give money to Band Aid in 1984. Seems a bit too much like hard work. ;)

I've been in VR all my life just like the rest of you

I need a break at least every 90 minutes.

I've done maybe 4 hours, I switched up games though and that help you from over dosing in a single game.
