>open world anyone else getting sick of open world games?

>>324085629
No.

I am sick of "empty" open world games, though.

>>324085629
Nigga at the pace things are going we're gonna be getting open Galaxies, never mind worlds

>>324085629
I like Open World games like Metal Gear and Witcher 3.

I think those games got it right. Bethesda games and some of the assassin's creed games can go fuck themselves.

MGSV was shit though.

fuck off dumb drakeposter

>>324086186
Holy shit, Metal Gear got it so WRONG though

Because most open world games are pretty much a mile wide and an inch deep.

Post some open world games that are actually good.

>>324085629
They have their place

>>324085629
Already sick of them. In the last 6 months played Witcher 3, Fallout 4, MGSV, Mafia 2, Black Flag and probably a bunch more. Theyre nice when done well like Witcher 3 where theres interesting shit all over the map and not like any of the ass creeds where theres just collectibles and thats it. More linear experiences can be great.

What are some of your favourite recent open worlds, /v/?
I really enjoyed GTA5 and Witcher 3's, they had real attention to detail, even if a lot of people didn't stop to check out the fun details in GTA.

>>324086186
I agree, I preferred MGSV's over TW3, the Open World facilitated the gameplay, it's all the about the Open Infiltration, that's what it's made for. A lot of open worlds just try and create a bit messy sandbox full of pointless shit to do.

so, there were MMOs, music games, modern day military FPS, MOBAs, and Open world games. what's gonna be the next trend that these devs and publishers are gonna milk to death, faggots?

>>324087053
VR, because it's the next step in higher immersion, like FPS and open world games were, and MMOs were for a brief moment in time.

The deal is that being open world or linear doesn't make a game good. Each style has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The problem is that many companies completely fail at creating an open world worth exploring, and that feels packed with content.

>>324085629
Played Witcher 3 and I think we've hit peak open-world. There's nothing more to be done with it.

>>324086743

The world was completely empty, other than the occasional bases/outposts

>>324086743
The map is totally empty aside from a smattering of very discrete points of interest. The game would have been much better off as a collection of Ground Zeroes style locations. Big enough that you have freedom, but small enough that they don't waste their and your time on a bunch of sand.

>>324085629

They are always shit. Except, weirdley enough, Fallout 4. Smaller world, but every location had a little side quest/story going for it. Well done, Bethesda. I appeciated that.

I wonder who's behind this post.

>>324085683
This.
Even playing shit like Gothic, you notice how much more care was put into things, compared to worlds that are just big to be big, like The Witcher 3.

>>324087191
Not really. Even that places that DID feel interesting didn't make up for the empty fucking world they sat in.

>Game hinders itself incredibly just so the entire world can be seamless

There is literally nothing wrong with loading screens if your level design is good.
I would rather have loading screens with dozens of diverse maps instead of uninspired feilds of nothingness without them.
See SoC, I dare you to give me an open world game with cooler environments.

>>324086757

GTA 5

You'll need a paragraph to prove me wrong.

Something I know you don't have the time, patience, or intelligence to do. I'll take my (you) and leave now.

>>324086743

the maps were empty as fuck, anon. it would have been loads better if it had

MGS V open world is fine. Empty, but fine.

Lot of options for new tactical approach. Love that game.

Todd actually came by the other day. Gave me a check for 10 000 dollars to shit post on 4chan.

"It's hard to reach the pedophile otaku crowd, man" he said.

"As long as this check don't bounce, I'm your man" I said, all Leonard Cohen-like.

>Approach from left

>Approach from 100 other angles that all end with you fultoning everything in sight anyways

>>324087169
i think one of the biggest problems are reviewers using linear gameplay as a con which means the publishers force the devs to tack on open world.

>>324088097
Yeah it all leads to fulton or kill but... you can use C4 to blow up patrols, sniper rifle, lot of shit. I can't get bored of this game.

But fallout 4 did open world pretty good. One of the only things it did good too, the other one being the gunplay being so much better than 3 or new vegas ever were

>>324090741
>fallout 4 did open world pretty good
Explain.

>>324085629
To be honest i dont even remember what is like to play a not-open worldgame. The last of Those that i played was FTL, and FTL is open world too.
Do they still make not-open world games?

>>324087576
except GTA V's "open world" is garbage.

literally nothing of value outside of Los Santos that you can't already find in the city, unless you're one of those conspiracy autists who think there's actually believes the dead end easter eggs in the game.

>>324091293
Well, one of the complaints is that there's usually a lot of nothing in there type of games. In F4 i felt like every 20 steps there was something to explore, a cave or a building or whatever.

only when they're of the ubisoft variety.

doesnt matter what kind of game it is, if it's open world they NEED to make towers for us to climb, i guess. here's calling the division has that crap too.

>>324091923
Thing is though, it was ALWAYS some cave or building ALWAYS filled with enemies to kill and loot for random, often useless shit. It was shooting gallery after shooting gallery reusing the same assets and enemies. Sure it had some sort of interesting backstory or gimmick once in a while but I was still bored to shit.

>>324086757
Saints Row 2

>>324092373
Witcher 3 wasn't much better. It's a great game but for every place like Hindhold and Lornruk you have 10 generic copy pasted monster nests and random fucking towns with one merchant and nothing to do

>>324092975
I do agree. A lot of the Witcher 3's contracts and places of interests were uninteresting and the smuggler's caches over Skellige was fucking bullshit. I'd still take Witcher 3 over Fallout 4 any day though.

>open world

"Jack of all trades, master of fucking none" the genre. What's the appeal?

you should have stopped gaming in 1995 son

>>324088246
>using less effective tactics

why

at least it made sense in MGS3 because there werent any broken mechanics that make all guards pointless

I'm playing through Saints Row 3 right now and it's a perfect example of what I hate about open world games. There's just nothing to do in the whole city but replay longer versions of main missions. And most of those aren't even fun the first time around.
There are some collectables but they only give $1000 each and you make 30k every couple minutes just by leaving the game on. I did get a cool looking car/motorcycle from doing the hacking minigame but they're not any better performance wise than a lot of cars and trucks on the road after spending $200 to tune them up.

>>324086374
It seems to just be a meme thing to hate on MGSV on 4chan. Everywhere else people are praising it, especially on Steam. I watched some videos of it and I must say it is the most impressive looking game of any game I've seen released this year.

Saints Row 3 is a straight up downgrade/reboot of the series

>Earn territory by purchasing rather than doing the main missions
>Fanfic-tier story
>Lifeless Pedestrians
>Unreplayable missions despite being able to using a mod
>Terrible endings
>Not a single reference to Dex's storyline which was focused upon in SR2 and it's dlc's

>>324086743
No one ever backs up their reasons with details. All they can say is "<insert game here sucks>", it's just the cool thing to do on 4chan.

>>324085629
There aren't a lot of good open world games, that's for sure. Here's to hoping someone pulls it off right.

>>324095372
>It seems to just be a meme thing to hate on MGSV on 4chan


Look, I love the series, but I hate MGSV. I hated it before I came back to 4chan from my month long hiatus and I continue to hate it of my own accord. My opinions about the game are my own. The game is a disappointing turd.
