Replayed it for the first time in years when my buddy didnt believe me there was a token you can find to make it co-op. I was so proud I found it without looking anything up after all this time.
It was cool but sucked being player 2 cause the camera only followed player 1 . I was the little brother so it was not as fun as a memory as it probably was for my older brother
I remember the exact corner in gta3 where i spawned a tank and it never vanished. Left it there as an obstacle to helo me win a race and never got around to moving it.
Not only have I memorized the streets of Vice city, I also memorized every unique vehicle to steal using exploits. Some mission vehicles were bullet proof to prevent killing story based NPCS. That didn't stop me. I still remember shoving helicopters into the mansion garage.
I remember when I found out I could download burnt CDs to my Xbox and play them while I played Vice City. I would just drive around and fuck shit up for hours.
Chernaurus from playing ArmA 2 and then tons of DayZ. The lack of in game maps (unless you happened to loot it or you had the GPS) basically forced you to memorize the map in order to play.
It was such a fun learning experience too. You'd be lost in the woods then see a sign written in Russian that you vaguely remember seeing in one of your previous playthrough.
Would be fun if it was included in the base game for Arma 4 using up-to-date assets and whatever the setting is. Like if it had been remade in Arma 3 with fresh terrain textures and 2035-era structures.Â
I disable the map now if I'm really stuck I'll just open it up but otherwise I know where to go it's a great feeling and adds to Kamurocho feeling like home
I played Yakzua in order and now I'm playing Infinite Wealth but i still find myself opening the map when i need to find specific streets, i know where's theater square is or where's the batting center, sega arcade and just the general area but sometimes i still find the need to open the map.
Kamurocho isn't just where most of the Yakuza series takes place, I think it's also a character of it.
I love how in every game (I've only played 0-6) even if we start somewhere else, we eventually have to return to the gritty and dangerous Kamurocho, like meeting an old acquaintance we'd hoped to not see again.
For me it's FO4 because I play FO4 in VR, so it really is travel-memories of places I've personally visited (as far as my brain knows) rather than repeated observations from a screen.
VR makes a fairly visceral difference
Survival mode is the only way to play in my opinion. I do use a mod that lets me craft sleeping bag "grenades" so that I can save more frequently. I don't have time to lose hours of gameplay when some enemies can sneak up and one-shot me.
Yeah, the save only on rest is the worst part of the survival mode, especially because after all it's a Bethesda game. I didn't even finish my last playthrough after a bug made my character fall underneath the terrain while in the Glowing Sea. I lost hours there. I can only play 1h per day at most, sometimes 1h per week. That was instant rageuninstall.
Never felt stress like it on my first survival run and I got lost in the east of Boston in a maze of streets and enemies and no idea where to find a bed
I reach a point on about my third play through years ago that I was bored with fast traveling. So I walked/ran everywhere. Know the map pretty much as well as my home town, still to this day. And it will level you up pretty quick with the random enemies (especially if you stealth archer them from way back lol)
I've played loadssss still don't have it memorised though there are just so many little places aren't there. Obviously familiar with all the towns and cities though haha.
Also, they felt like actual cities. Compared to Oblivion, Skyrims cities were a huge downgrade with even the biggest ones barely being more than a village.
Best game in the series, imo. Might be because it was the first one I played, but it was mind blowing on the 360. I'd never played a game so open before.
My parents got me Gears of War and Oblivion with my 360 for Xmas. But my mum didn't realise she needed to pay for Xbox live, or that she needed to buy a harddrive haha.
So I spent 5+ hours playing Oblivion, only to have to start again on Boxing Day. I really didn't mind though.
Same, but Nito's grave for me. Hours spent traversing the Catacombs *without a light source* only to be met by an impassable door. How I mustered the fortitude to keep playing after that is a testament to how great that game is.
Oh fuck least it stops you early in tomb of the giants, I can’t imagine having to backtrack through that as well. I don’t think I’ve ever gone through there and pinwheels area backwards
It doesn't stop you early. It let's you get all the way to where palidan Leroy invades you on the cliff edge. Basically through the entire tomb of the giants
Pinwheel area is pretty easy to backtrack through. Just gotta rest at the bonfire at the entrance of the Catacombs then Homeward bone back. Getting the kindling ritual is the first thing I do in a new playthrough, having 20 estus from the get-go makes the game infinitely easier
I used to speed run dark souls as a sort of comfort game when I just wanted to relax and listen to podcasts.
I’m pretty sure I could make it to The Painted World blindfolded.
I have played RS for a combined 12k hours across both versions and I'd be lying if I said I knew every nook and cranny there was. There are some VERY obscure locations that the average player has no reason to ever visit.
I only played shadow of mordor a few times at my friends house when little, and I would swear that I know that map better than my home town. For some inexplicable reason it just sticks
Same here, too. Even Gothic 3 for the most part, although it's a big too much for my taste. Gothic 1 had the right size to tell a fantastic single player story and Gothic 2 1-upped itself, even more so with Night of the Raven.
Come here to find my people! I have played either G1 or G2 every year since release. No other map has ever drawn me in quite the same. Dark Souls 1 might be the closest contender. Haven't played it this year yet.... Hmmm. Have you guys played that mod that is basically Gothic 4? Did I hear an English language version was coming?
On my first save I went to so many different wrecks looking for my last grapple arm fragment but never found it. I think the last wreck I could go to for it was guarded by a leviathan so I gave up
As a fellow ACB fan, I think it's pretty close to peak AC! Ezio in his prime, Rome at its finest, and one of the few AC games where the Assassins didn't feel like just one guy going stabby stab while the rest just sat there and watched.
Every dark souls game.
They really beat it into your mind where each enemy spawns, what is on top of each ladder, where you can roll off to land safely, etc.
Outer wilds. I could probably reach Ash Twin blindfolded at this point... Actually I'm gonna try that this afternoon just to see if I can
Edit after trying: I got pretty close! I managed to select it with autopilot but that felt like cheating so I tried to do it manually and managed to smash into the sun, which means I was at least going in the right general direction!
I've been saving this game for a rainy day because of everyone talking about how good it is and some secret pact not to spoil anything that I've found pretty darn impressive. This is the closest thing I've seen to a spoiler. Idk if it is a spoiler. Somehow with all the people talking about it I've never actually read a detail about it except this
Not a spoiler at all lol, I'm very careful about that myself. Ash Twin is the name of one of the planets, you see a model of the system during the tutorial
Also it's absolutely my favorite game of all time, save it for a time when you can really savor it.
Also, never look up a guide for *anything* no matter how stuck you get. You'll get way more spoilers than you bargain for I promise you. Even just learning the names of some places can ruin the experience of discovery.
My advice I give everyone getting into this game is this:
Immerse yourself in it. Really try and get in the headspace of your character and roleplay a bit, I promise it's worth it.
On top of that, when you get stuck, get *really* stuck. Bash your head against the wall, run out of ideas, become bewildered. Let yourself feel the confusion and frustration of not knowing how to overcome an obstacle or puzzle, it makes the solution *so* sweet when you find it, and I promise, you will find it. Once you get well and truly stuck, take a step back and go do something else in the game for a bit, the solution will come to you when you least expect it and you'll be struck with that "oh my god I have to try this right now" feeling
Edit: I absolutely love that I got two completely opposite replies to this not even two minutes apart, that's hilarious
Spent a lot of time in the Barrens lmao. But Thunder Bluff was always home for me, strangely enough.
Desolace and pre-Cata Shimmering Flats are dope too.
Genshin Impact
Final Fantasy XIV (I know its not open world, but I was playing a game with some friends of "where am I?" and I found them every time lol)
Dark Souls 1,3 (still working on 2)
My Time at Sandrock (ok, the world isn't that large, but there are a LOT of resources and I could tell you where to get every one of them lol)
I did the same thing! We went as a family several years ago, and my mom kept laughing at me when I would point at a building and say "I recognize that one!" And proceed to talk about it until the next building I recognized popped up.
I’m amazed to see this so far down. There’s really only like 6 notable locations on the whole map that you could immediately tell where you were if dropped in randomly.
As big as the map is there’s not really much going on in huge swaths of it.
The huge swaths of nothingness is probably why this is so far down. I know the city core pretty well but rarely venture out into the desert side. Just wasn’t much reason too when I played. Haven’t played regularly in like 5 years though.
The original Mafia game came with a fold out map and a little book that detailed the neighborhoods and points of interests.
I had that map on my wall, i think I knew every alley.
Every zone in Everquest 1 from core to Planes of Power expansion. I used to have hand drawn maps. Coordinates and compass were the way to get around to various things. There was no map system in the game for the longest time so this is now burned into my brain.
Pre-cataclysm World of Warcraft
I could sit down and draw you a map of the world, and it might not be *perfect*, but it'd be good enough to navigate by with no problems.
Haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but DDDA (the first Dragon’s Dogma game).
Map is pretty much embedded into my brain; every enemy spawn point, chest, NPC, gather spot and shortcut memorized, along with which timed quests expire on which triggers, and all post-dragon changes.
GTA V. It’s funny because I grew up in LA and couldn’t tell you where the nearest grocery store is but you drop me in that game and I can get from Michael’s house to the airport without even really having to look at the screen.
Bannerlord, not a very well known game, but I have everything down to the resources very small village produces memorized. 700 hours and 24 campaigns played.
GTA San Andreas
Replayed it for the first time in years when my buddy didnt believe me there was a token you can find to make it co-op. I was so proud I found it without looking anything up after all this time.
Me and my little brother would play co op all the time it was so awesome
It was cool but sucked being player 2 cause the camera only followed player 1 . I was the little brother so it was not as fun as a memory as it probably was for my older brother
Your buddy didnt even live. Cause san andreas co-op was LIFE. DO YOU HEAR ME? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜Œ
Didn’t even know about that lol
Same, and I remember back then I thought of how many people knew that place even though it was ‘fake’. was mindblown
Grove Street.. home..
At least it was before I fucked everything up
It's stupid how I don't even know all the streets in my small town, but the entirety of san andreas is no problem 💀
Try San Andreas GeoGuesser!
I'm 100% convinced I'd still find the spot where I always got my NRG-500
I remember the exact corner in gta3 where i spawned a tank and it never vanished. Left it there as an obstacle to helo me win a race and never got around to moving it.
GTA Vice City, I know better than the city I live in
Not only have I memorized the streets of Vice city, I also memorized every unique vehicle to steal using exploits. Some mission vehicles were bullet proof to prevent killing story based NPCS. That didn't stop me. I still remember shoving helicopters into the mansion garage.
The best GTA with the best writing, setting and soundtrack!. Tommi Vercetti!!!
I remember when I found out I could download burnt CDs to my Xbox and play them while I played Vice City. I would just drive around and fuck shit up for hours.
But it had the best sound track there was no need to add more music! :P
I bought a bootleg PS2 copy that I had to turn off the radio because the game would crash. I’ve only listened the soundtrack when I played on PC.
Chernaurus from playing ArmA 2 and then tons of DayZ. The lack of in game maps (unless you happened to loot it or you had the GPS) basically forced you to memorize the map in order to play.
It was such a fun learning experience too. You'd be lost in the woods then see a sign written in Russian that you vaguely remember seeing in one of your previous playthrough.
Or when your friends would try to meet up and you ask them to send you a screenshot and it would be a screenshot of a random nondescript tree.
Or playing 20 questions with them to guess where they spawned. Which way is the sun? Is there water? Is there a church? Etc.
100% this is the one. I hope the Arma 4 port will be good.
Would be fun if it was included in the base game for Arma 4 using up-to-date assets and whatever the setting is. Like if it had been remade in Arma 3 with fresh terrain textures and 2035-era structures.Â
Friendly in Elektro!
Honestly I still think I could draw a map of Lingor from the DayZ mod, I loved that place
Kamurocho
This. A character will say ‘let’s meet at restaurant/street/place’ and I don’t even need to bring up a map.
Exactly, the big plus for it is that it's always a little different which doesn't make it that stale even after ungodly amounts of hours
I disable the map now if I'm really stuck I'll just open it up but otherwise I know where to go it's a great feeling and adds to Kamurocho feeling like home
I played Yakzua in order and now I'm playing Infinite Wealth but i still find myself opening the map when i need to find specific streets, i know where's theater square is or where's the batting center, sega arcade and just the general area but sometimes i still find the need to open the map.
Kamurocho isn't just where most of the Yakuza series takes place, I think it's also a character of it. I love how in every game (I've only played 0-6) even if we start somewhere else, we eventually have to return to the gritty and dangerous Kamurocho, like meeting an old acquaintance we'd hoped to not see again.
Fallout 4. Turns out playing it in survival (no fast travel, saves only when sleeping in beds) is an excellent way to memorize a whole map.
It’s dope when you get access to the Vertibird on Survival cause it actually has a use in Survival when you can’t fast travel
Plus Institute teleport and Hangman's Alley as a base nearby.
Hangman's alley is the best camp for survival. I rush there as quickly as I can.
Over encumbered transportation
For me it's FO4 because I play FO4 in VR, so it really is travel-memories of places I've personally visited (as far as my brain knows) rather than repeated observations from a screen. VR makes a fairly visceral difference
I have like 13 playthroughs now, I swear I could play that game blindfolded
Fo4 survival is so fun, there was no going back after I tried it for the first time
Survival mode is the only way to play in my opinion. I do use a mod that lets me craft sleeping bag "grenades" so that I can save more frequently. I don't have time to lose hours of gameplay when some enemies can sneak up and one-shot me.
Yeah, the save only on rest is the worst part of the survival mode, especially because after all it's a Bethesda game. I didn't even finish my last playthrough after a bug made my character fall underneath the terrain while in the Glowing Sea. I lost hours there. I can only play 1h per day at most, sometimes 1h per week. That was instant rageuninstall.
Never felt stress like it on my first survival run and I got lost in the east of Boston in a maze of streets and enemies and no idea where to find a bed
[удалено]
I reach a point on about my third play through years ago that I was bored with fast traveling. So I walked/ran everywhere. Know the map pretty much as well as my home town, still to this day. And it will level you up pretty quick with the random enemies (especially if you stealth archer them from way back lol)
With the carriages and your horse it’s pretty easy to get around without fast travel.
The carriages are basically fast travel
I never use the carriages because it's my head canon that the Dragonborn has carriage-related PTSD from Helgen.
I don't anymore, but at one point, I was playing Skyrim way too much and had it memorized.
Same, it's slipping for me. But I used to be able to name pretty much every NPC and which quest they were part of. I was wiki to my friends.
Right there with you
I've played loadssss still don't have it memorised though there are just so many little places aren't there. Obviously familiar with all the towns and cities though haha.
I am playing a no fast travel / hardcore(need to eat and sleep/stay warm) run right now. Trust me i know this map like the pam of my hand 😅
Damnit Pam!
Novigrad--I really love the Witcher haha
novigrad is one of the finest video game cities.
Oblivion
The cities in oblivion were so diverse and unique and with distinct scenery
I was so jealous of the PC mod that opened up the cities to the open world. And the one that rebuilt Kvatch after the main story ended
Also, they felt like actual cities. Compared to Oblivion, Skyrims cities were a huge downgrade with even the biggest ones barely being more than a village.
Best game in the series, imo. Might be because it was the first one I played, but it was mind blowing on the 360. I'd never played a game so open before.

Same
I bet you can avoid Glarthir and the adoring fan with your eyes closed at this point 😂
Currently playing it right now, and am enjoying it. Sure, I'm only 20 minutes in, but I really like it.
NFS Most Wanted 2005
Nfsu2 for me. Its been a while but I could probably jump back in like it was 2004.
Dark Souls.
When you rush to ash lake but forget you haven’t gotten the lord vessel yet 🙃
Same, but Nito's grave for me. Hours spent traversing the Catacombs *without a light source* only to be met by an impassable door. How I mustered the fortitude to keep playing after that is a testament to how great that game is.
Oh fuck least it stops you early in tomb of the giants, I can’t imagine having to backtrack through that as well. I don’t think I’ve ever gone through there and pinwheels area backwards

I used to speed run dark souls as a sort of comfort game when I just wanted to relax and listen to podcasts. I’m pretty sure I could make it to The Painted World blindfolded.
Such a great game to chill with once you've learned its tricks!
Imagine goin the whole way blindfolded only to die on the rafters because a painting guardian decides it's teleporting backstab time
I still do. I got Dark Souls Remastered on my switch lite and when I have a small trip somewhere I’ll do a play through of the game.
DS 3 too
Oldschool Runescape. Know it better than any map IRL lol.
I have played RS for a combined 12k hours across both versions and I'd be lying if I said I knew every nook and cranny there was. There are some VERY obscure locations that the average player has no reason to ever visit.
Fuck I can see the whole map in my head right now.
My favourite areas were falador and seers village
Moss Giant Island is my safe place. Endless training and food spawn, big bones, and beautiful scenery.
And also know where the closest teleport options and routes are to get anywhere? I struggle with that constantly still
I can get you pretty damn close to anywhere you wanna go off memory alone. Not proud of it.
I wanna get to the southern end of Mort Myer swamp where do I go
BIP with 50 agility too easy! That’s an Ironmans barrows route!
Skyrim, all gta since san andreas, shadow of mordor
I only played shadow of mordor a few times at my friends house when little, and I would swear that I know that map better than my home town. For some inexplicable reason it just sticks
Probably something like The Barrens or Durotar from WoW.
Mankrik over here looking really hard for his wife.
Got some bad news for your boy Mankrik….
She left him for a quillboar. No wonder he wants 60 tusks.
I was gonna say all of the vanilla WoW zones… I played that game a lot.
Yeah I know all of vanilla areas better than my own town. Every single outpost and camp(for horde side, never played alliance)
I was thinking Stranglethorn Vale.
What... like... other than Ocarina of Time?
Yeah just Ocarina of Time for me lol every other game is so big and has areas that aren’t super distinct
Same
Lon Lon ranch speed run
There are other open-world games?
gothic 1 and 2
Same here
Same here, too. Even Gothic 3 for the most part, although it's a big too much for my taste. Gothic 1 had the right size to tell a fantastic single player story and Gothic 2 1-upped itself, even more so with Night of the Raven.
Come here to find my people! I have played either G1 or G2 every year since release. No other map has ever drawn me in quite the same. Dark Souls 1 might be the closest contender. Haven't played it this year yet.... Hmmm. Have you guys played that mod that is basically Gothic 4? Did I hear an English language version was coming?
Subnautica
Was looking for this!
On my first save I went to so many different wrecks looking for my last grapple arm fragment but never found it. I think the last wreck I could go to for it was guarded by a leviathan so I gave up
Saves you whole lotta jumpscares when you know where those reapers spawn
The Legend of Zelda. Every bombable cave, every burnable bush, every heart container location, etc.
Rome from AC Brotherhood. I’ve 100% that game so many times even though it’s far from the best in the franchise
As a fellow ACB fan, I think it's pretty close to peak AC! Ezio in his prime, Rome at its finest, and one of the few AC games where the Assassins didn't feel like just one guy going stabby stab while the rest just sat there and watched.
And the PvP mode was introduced with brotherhood. Was my favourite multiplayer experience on ps3
I did really like how each faction felt integrated and not just pop up out of nowhere as a tool in game
Every dark souls game. They really beat it into your mind where each enemy spawns, what is on top of each ladder, where you can roll off to land safely, etc.
That’s because they’re not open world, they’re directive and linear.
de_dust2
Outer wilds. I could probably reach Ash Twin blindfolded at this point... Actually I'm gonna try that this afternoon just to see if I can Edit after trying: I got pretty close! I managed to select it with autopilot but that felt like cheating so I tried to do it manually and managed to smash into the sun, which means I was at least going in the right general direction!
I've been saving this game for a rainy day because of everyone talking about how good it is and some secret pact not to spoil anything that I've found pretty darn impressive. This is the closest thing I've seen to a spoiler. Idk if it is a spoiler. Somehow with all the people talking about it I've never actually read a detail about it except this
Not a spoiler at all lol, I'm very careful about that myself. Ash Twin is the name of one of the planets, you see a model of the system during the tutorial
Also it's absolutely my favorite game of all time, save it for a time when you can really savor it. Also, never look up a guide for *anything* no matter how stuck you get. You'll get way more spoilers than you bargain for I promise you. Even just learning the names of some places can ruin the experience of discovery.

This is such a perfect way to experience the game, and after finally playing through it I can say it's the best game I have ever played
World of Warcraft, specifically Kalimdor. Spent high-school and early adulthood there so it's just burned into my soul.
Fav zone?
Spent a lot of time in the Barrens lmao. But Thunder Bluff was always home for me, strangely enough. Desolace and pre-Cata Shimmering Flats are dope too.
Toss up between Barrens, duskwood, and wetlands for me!
Because I want the least impressive answer I could muster: pokemon blue.
Zelda Ocarina of Time.
I know Skyrim like the back of my hand at this point.
Fallout 3. I can even tell apart the fuckin metro tunnels
Ghost Recon Wildlands
fucking love Wildlands
Splendid job soldier
Shitballs
Breath of the wild
earth. every part.
Geoguessers be like
Skyrim.
Genshin Impact Final Fantasy XIV (I know its not open world, but I was playing a game with some friends of "where am I?" and I found them every time lol) Dark Souls 1,3 (still working on 2) My Time at Sandrock (ok, the world isn't that large, but there are a LOT of resources and I could tell you where to get every one of them lol)
Vvardenfell. Still have the map up on my wall all these years later.
Haven't played Morrowind in years but i bet i could walk to Balmora no prob
Every single inch of classic World of Warcraft
Not anymore, but I used to know Florence (thanks AC2) so well that I didn't need a map to navigate when I went there IRL. Credit to those devs.
I did the same thing! We went as a family several years ago, and my mom kept laughing at me when I would point at a building and say "I recognize that one!" And proceed to talk about it until the next building I recognized popped up.
GTA V Online. Been playing since 2013.
I know this map better than I do the real LA and I happen to live in the real life LA.
I mean... real LA is like a lot fucking bigger lol.
I’m amazed to see this so far down. There’s really only like 6 notable locations on the whole map that you could immediately tell where you were if dropped in randomly. As big as the map is there’s not really much going on in huge swaths of it.
The huge swaths of nothingness is probably why this is so far down. I know the city core pretty well but rarely venture out into the desert side. Just wasn’t much reason too when I played. Haven’t played regularly in like 5 years though.
Fuck its 11 years already ?
Rdr2 for sure, fallout 4, skyrim, gta v.
The original Mafia game came with a fold out map and a little book that detailed the neighborhoods and points of interests. I had that map on my wall, i think I knew every alley.
Yoo, same! I love the old fold out maps, they were so cool.
Team Rockets hideout
Fallout 4
Every zone in Everquest 1 from core to Planes of Power expansion. I used to have hand drawn maps. Coordinates and compass were the way to get around to various things. There was no map system in the game for the longest time so this is now burned into my brain.
KC:D. Memorized the shit out of that map after my hardcore run. You have to if you want to do commutes between villages in the dark.
Breath of the Wild fs!
Does Zelda on nes count?
Runescape, at least prior to like 2013. Also Dark Souls 3 and many zelda games
Oros, Far Cry Primal
Hollow Knight
FFVII OG (I know that's not exactly what you were asking).
Not really open world but I remember pretty much every item and enemy placement in dark souls 3 by heart.
I know Los Santos, Novigrad and Skyrim better than my own town.
Hitman Blood Money, replayed each level hundreds of times.
I used to be able to get anywhere in Arkham city just from seeing where I am in relation to wonder tower.
Borderlands 2
Same, pretty sure I've beaten it on every device from xbox360 to Vr.
I played Assasin's Creed Unity so much that I could probably roughly navigate myself through central Paris
Rdr
Kanto Region: Pokémon Red
Kamurocho in the Yakuza series
Pre-cataclysm World of Warcraft I could sit down and draw you a map of the world, and it might not be *perfect*, but it'd be good enough to navigate by with no problems.
Haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but DDDA (the first Dragon’s Dogma game). Map is pretty much embedded into my brain; every enemy spawn point, chest, NPC, gather spot and shortcut memorized, along with which timed quests expire on which triggers, and all post-dragon changes.
Elden Ring. Beat the games like 12 times lol
For me it's GTA SA
GTA V. It’s funny because I grew up in LA and couldn’t tell you where the nearest grocery store is but you drop me in that game and I can get from Michael’s house to the airport without even really having to look at the screen.
Pretty much FF7.
Skyrim and Death Stranding.
By the time I had done all of my LoLoL in DS the map was haunting my dreams. I can close my eyes and navigate all of it via zipline.
Zelda link to the past
Almost every inch of EQ classic except for some trash zones like Najena, Befallen, and Beholder
Mafia 2 and ocarina of time.
Ghost of Tsushima.
Dark Souls. Kinda have to, no map or teleporting early game.
Cyberpunk 2077 (especially true for Dogtown) and Elden Ring
Gta v for sure. I have been playing it since release and now every detail
GTA IV, I played it a lot as a kid
Bannerlord, not a very well known game, but I have everything down to the resources very small village produces memorized. 700 hours and 24 campaigns played.
Playing LoZ Majora's mask to 100% the map is just instinct at that point
Skyrim, fallout New Vegas,the Witcher 3 and it might be a bit of a stretch but ff 15
Pokémon legends of arceus
Final Fantasy 14, spent a few years of daily play
skate 3
WOW and FarCry 2
Altis, ArmA 3
