A question for you all - which VIDEO GAME has your favourite in-game interface? That means UI, controls, everything. An interface that not only feels natural and good but immerses you in the game, makes play easy, AND makes you want to keep playing. Can be from any era.

@vampiress Ico. Everything you need to know is communicated without screen-furniture. It is a beautiful game.

@criffer Screen-furniture. I love that term. The lack of it si why I love and constantly re-play GTA V and RDR2, though RDR2 is leaps and bounds ahead of GTA V.

@vampiress @criffer I started playing RDR2 but have struggled to get into it. What am I missing? I've not played any of the GTA series, but generally enjoy first-person role play story things.

@daedalus @criffer RDR2 is the best video game ever made. Also one of the best pieces of art / stories ever committed in any medium.

GTA V is fine, if you like that kind of thing (which I do, but I wouldn't go claiming it's some unique work of art).

@daedalus @vampiress @criffer I left it about half-finished for several years as well, only got in to it when I tried again last year.
Glad I stuck with it that time. The story is a great western, but I do think it drags a little at times.

@daedalus @vampiress I found the first few hours very slow and didn't get it either, but eventually it clicked for me once it opened up and I got how it was trying to do things, it was worth pushing through for sure.
