Myst in VR.

Specifically, I want to be able to pick up and manipulate linking books, I want to have lots of tactile puzzles, I want to really play with the lore of Myst in a VR setting.
Cool idea, but Myst games descended in quality from the first one and I have a hard time thinking it's possible.

victoria 3 may be a link between EU4 and Hoi 4.

Then, you could start a game in Crusader Kings 3, and bring it all the way to the end of Hoi 4.

Is that good enough?

(Buying all 4 of those games would probably cost 250 anyways :) )
CK2 starts, at the earliest, with Charlemagne. He is not the beginning of history. And you can't get anywhere but Europe, North Africa, and western Asia until the 15th century. Personally, I want to play China in Spring and Autumn, or Mesopotamia in the days of Sargon. Or even just give us a peloponnesian game.

All of a sudden I want to play a post-apocalyptic trucking sim.
You play a ruthless truck-driving mercenary driving a battle-scarred, salvaged rig which you can upgrade with armour, bulldozer ploughs, machinegun nests, caterpillar treads and of course refrigeration over the course of the game. Missions might see you delivering weapons to various factions vying for control of the wasteland, transporting viable/non-irradiated soil from far-off places to settlements in need of it, or even safekeeping an entire (small) colony/group of survivors in the back of your truck, possibly as they are pursued by some vengeful enemy across an especially hostile landscape.

And of course sometimes just running for your life or transporting more mundane goods like crops, medicine and supplies.
I think it would be badass. And no, this wasn't inspired by that awful movie at all, I only just now remembered that it involved a rig. >.>

I got to know the YouTube series "Trucking Tuesday" a short while ago. According to them, every trucking simulation is postapocalyptic, in a way. :P

Why so?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

As a guess, not nearly enough traffic on the road in those simulators. No pedestrians in most cases.

They're all incredibly shrunken compared to the location they take place in in the real world.

The trucks have ridiculously small cupholders. They could barely hold a MegaGulp.

I want Soulsborne games in more time periods, despite the lack of sense it might make and only because I want something more to play after I finish exhausting the main trilogy ;-;

Caveborn. Play as a caveman and do battle against horrific pre-historic monsters.

Doesn't Generic High Fantasy usually lack the doom-and-gloom-and-darkness-and-death feel that seems to be what Soulsborne is made out of?

You can have a doom-and-gloom-and-darkness-and-death feel and still have playable orcs / elves / halflings / generic high fantasy races, you know. Haven't you ever read The Lord of the Rings? :P

Dark Soul's tone is dead-on generic for fantasy.  Like literally, take those storyless "go to the tomb and kill 5 ghouls" sidequests that every fantasy RPG has, and that's Dark Souls.  That's the plot, that's the setting, that's the characters, that's the gameplay, that's the entire game.

If anything, Dark Souls (and Dragon's Dogma) are to western fantasy what Pacific Rim is to Japanese Kaiju films.  Which is to say: about the same, but unusual in that it was made in a different place.
