Very fun city, but there is a lack of unique environments outside your standard city fare

XCX is great tho, although static
>>
>>382013564
Only Morrowind has a better open world in this entire list. The Witcher 3's world is rather shit, RDR's is just boring desert. GTA SA and VC lack variety (although SA does come close), Just cause has a boring world with great transversal, and is Bully even open world? I thought it was pretty enclosed in the school, and even the town felt small.

Can't talk Gothic 2, although the first Gothic's world was great. RFG haven't played, heard destruction was good

Anyone you can think of really, it's not a hard question, and I don't even like the open world genre, it's pretty shit and overdone.

Everyone of those games have a better open world.

Superbunnyhop explains it best. The open world in Zelda is literally like MGSV. It's kept fun due to the solid engine and gimmicks but once you realise it's filled with nothing but 5 minute long shrines and trash korok seeds you get bored as fuck.

This game isn't exclusive, 99% of this board can play it due to it being on PC and the game is mediocre at best.

Enjoy fighting the same 3 reskinned enemies and collecting literal tree poop
>>
>>382013663
Infamous 2 unlocks different districts as the game progresses
Just when you get tired of the area you're in, it opens up more. Each one is pretty distinct.
>>382013854
There's nothing wrong with Witcher 3's world. It's not the focus, it's the backdrop and that's exactly what an openworld should be.
Breath of the Wild has its priorities way out of wack which translates into mediocre gameplay, dungeons, music, and all around polish compared to previous entries in the series.
>>
so i bought this switch machine last week just to play arms online but i see a lot of people talking about the The Legend of Zelda Breath on the Wild for Nintendo Switch so my question is is it worth the time? I mean i dont care about the money since im a neet but as a fellow gamer i want to be doing worthy things with my time
>>
>>382014071
Yeah, but we are specially talking about worlds though. The fact is the world of witcher 3 is rather bad. Infamous 2's districts honestly looks and feels the same to me, but maybe that's just me?

>>382014017
I completed the game on Cemu already though, liked it a lot. No need to be so aggressive when we have a difference in opinion

The destruction is literally the only thing that's good in that boring shit game.

>>382014017
RDR has way less enemy variety, density and environments. It also had mediocre gunplay. The only shining bit was the horse controls, and the story was rather boring and poorly paced.

I think it's another case of "overrated because it's not on PC", just like Bloodborne
>>
>>382014436
It's still worth playing, the destruction makes it worth it
>>
>>382014261

Genuinely wasn't meaning to be aggressive at all. I get the appeal of Zelda, but I just don't get how people can say it has the best open world when it's essentially MGSV/Just Cause 2 tier.

A literal sandbox with zero actual depth

It's closer to Gmod than it is Gothic 2 (an open world masterpiece imo).

Let alone "some".

Witcher 3's open world is a joke and it's not even open world, it's multi-region. Xenoblade X's open world is great but completely lacks interactivity. All the western games have generic shit open worlds that should be ignored in this thread.

>>382013564

>>
>>382014552

>RDR has way less enemy variety, density and environments.

But RDR has actual content, an engaging narrative and actual side content.

Breath of the Wild has you collecting tree dung and completing 5 minute long braindead shrines while you find the same different colored Goblins.

>mediocre gunplay

Better combat than "spam flurry rush and win".

>I think it's another case of "overrated because it's not on PC", just like Bloodborne

I think you've just outed yourself as a single platform PCbro buddeh.

Zelda actually has huge, complex, interactive and fun dungeons with cross-room puzzles and optional solutions.

Basically NO OTHER OPEN WORLD GAME EVEN TRIES DUNGEONS or tight level design like this. Witcher 3, for instance, does linear, generic caves and calls them dungeons.

Hahahaha.

It has another goblin encampment but inside a small ass skull face this time!

I've played both games, peasant. There's a reason Witcher 3 has more GoTYs than every Nintendo game created (combined).

What's even the best side quest in that game? "HURR, GO COLLECT 3 PIECES OF WOOD LINK, PLEASE!".

MMO tier garbage

Witcher 3 on the other hand is a milestone, the best game ever made you could say.

Zelda is another shitty zelda game that got good reviews because "LOL, ZELDA". The general is already dead, /v/ only talks about it when it's shitting on it and it sold like shit compared to Witcher 3.

It's irrelevant
>>
>>382014895
Stop shitposting, we played Witcher 3. You can't interact with anything, can't even burn fucking hay with characteristic Witcher signs as Igni, there are bugs everywhere, even after 50 patches, it's not even open world but multi-region, there are invisible walls, completely empty at times (Skellige sea and mountains) and it has zero level design depth such as actual dungeons and puzzles.

You look like a retard who has no clue about game design at all.

>>382014718
>actual side content
Arguable, because most of the missions can be boiled down to "talk to NPC"
>engaging narrative

Stop shitposting, we played Zelda.

It's a shallow sandbox with a bunch of gimmicks sprinkeled in to distract from the fact that it has shit for enemy variety, shit for side quests, shit for main story, shit for writing, shit for literally everything aside from "DUDE, YOU CAN CUT DOWN TREES, LOL".

Get me the best side quest in your shitty game, go on, i'll wait.

There are none, it's all shitty fetch quest tier garbage made by a company targeting infants. No real character depth, no good writing, no engaging side quests. Just gimmicks that get boring after 5 hours, JUST like MGSV

So does Witcher 3 m8. It has actual boss design as well and actual side quests that go further than "LIIIIIIIINK. MY CHICKENS ARE MISSING, GO COLLECT THEM PLEASE"

Zeldas side content sucks dick. It's literally worse than Skyrim.

>Yeah... That's a good thing. Instead it actually has unique dungeons

It has 4 dungeons, that's literally all it has side content wise.

4 dungeons and 120 2 minute long shrines. No incentive to do them because they are piss easy and suck dick.

There is no open world game that comes remotely close to Zelda BotW, Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 2 when it comes to sheer world building.

If you know anything about game design, you know this. It's crazy what Monolith Soft does there. And even the open world itself is stunning, even if it was empty (it isn't) due to the basic concept (traversing huge titans in Xenoblade 2, can even see see what limbs you're on currently).

Eventide by a long fucking mile. Tarrey Town was such a fucking let down. It was literally 2 objectives alternating between finding some NPC or cutting down increasingly larger amounts of fucking wood for a town that barely has any use outside some random vendors that sell nothing unique and a cutscene of a wedding. I fucking felt cheated trekking around the world to get the NPCs and blowing up trees for the wood for literally NOTHING. Also, the houses and design of the town was ugly as fuck.

When someone asks you what 1+1 is do you also say 3?

Witcher 3's open world isn'T doing anything better and it's mostly generic and even has invisible walls and a sea (Skellige) emptier than Wind Waker somehow. No idea how they managed to do this, really.

Witcher is good because of character interactions and decision making, but the game itself is horrible.

>>382016101
>Whats even the point in exploring in Zelda?
It's the only open world game where exploring is fun in it of itself and getting to a new location is a puzzle all its own that gives you unlimited freedom in solving.
Also unlike in Witcher 3 the game isn't designed around quest markers which is refreshing.

At least you aren't even trying anda dmit you're full of shit. The picture you quoted meanwhile is actually 100% on point and even gave Witcher 3 two pictures to be fair.

And almost none of your points are indicators for a good open world or just subjective nonsense.

Even the lightning in Zelda is part of the gameplay while it's just a Paint stroke in Witcher 3.

This "Interactivity" meme needs to stop. It's a great addition sometimes, but honestly it's wasted on Zelda's openworld
"Emergent Gameplay" was pioneered by games like Dishonored and Thief and it will remain ideal on these types of FPS-lites for the foreseeable future.
The mechanics are much tighter in these games.
>>382015962
This just proves you have no idea what makes an openworld good or not. Xenoblade's world isn't good because it's handcrafted or looks good, it's great because every aspect of player progression ties into it. It also represents a tangible progression that Breath of the Wild and many other open world games lack.
Exploration in XCX leads to greater resources with the installation of probes, these resources are then put into R&D, the weapon makers level up, you buy better armor. Very tactile and satifying progression. Exploration directly translates into XP with points of interest as well.

It's sad how Witcher kids think this guy here makes a great argument while the picture he posted shows a screenshot of Witcher 3 that shows an area that has invisible walls everwhere. You literally cannot even go to any of the areas marked by the red squares. And of course all the pictures are bullshit. There isn't anything there.

Meanwhile you see lots of interesting stuff in the background of the BotW picture and you can go everywhere.

BOTW is a 7/10 game at best.
Combat is broken and flurry can activate even if you "dodge" hits that would not have hit you anyway, making hugging enemies' sides and mashing dodge super easy to abuse constant flurries.

But this is nothing compared to healing and food, you can carry near infinite full heals and there isn't even a "fullness" bar that prevents you from eating 20 cakes in 5 seconds or at least a limit on how many cooked foods you can carry. Not even a freshness mechanics that destroys your foods after a few days so you can't just hoard 50 of everything.
To top it all off, everything is paused while you're in the menu and it's all instant, you don't even have an eating animation.

Just fixing these issues would easily take BOTW from 7 to a 9, that's how big they are.

Yeah, XCX's world does lack meaningful interactivity with the environment, and in a few regards it feels less alive than XC's world (but I don't feel like elaborating on this right now).
However it does shine in other aspects, such as worldbuilding, monster encounters and that Miranium and resource management aspect. It's just a different kind of game from BotW and Zelda in general.

Use the Aard sign to blast down the door to the house. Inside, loot everything and use your Witcher Sense to track all collectibles. There is a dead body, burnt documents, and a monocle. The pan in question can be found in the back of the house. Grab it and return it to the lady for some EXP and money, as well as some Baked Apples and Apple Juice for the road.

>>382014849
Was this your first Zelda game? Every Zelda from ALttP on had more complex dungeons than BotW. When I did the first divine beast I said "wow, that was a pretty good for a first dungeon, I can't wait for the next one". Then the next three were just as a short and easy. Because the game lets you complete it in any order, all the dungeons need to be "level 1" and it suffers because of it. What they should have done was either make the dungeons take place entirely inside the divine beasts then have four dungeons of increasing difficulty and complexity that are served to you in order regardless of which beast you do first, or make four versions of every beast so that when you get to the last one it's not trivially easy, but long and difficult.

Then add like 7 more dungons after that.

I despised W3's combat and I've shit on it for the various ways in which it completely fucked exploration and discovery of a 10/10 map(s) up the ass for what is essentially a barely glorified Korean mmo system. However, I do believe it did less harm to itself with that than BOTW did by destroying any reason to explore in the first place other than to justify spending X amount of money on it. Completely erasing any interest in or mystery surrounding the new Hyrule in the first 20 minutes of the game in a single cutscene is easily the single worst decision a developer has made in a long time.

Loved both games.

Still kek'd at the blatant double standard. Witcher 3 is fantastic, I prefer it to Breath of the Wild but the truth is, they both seek out to achieve different goals.

Witcher 3s open world is a backdrop to add to the immersion. Zeldas open world is 100% to the focus which imo, led to a lot of the content to feel pretty damn rushed and inconsequential.
Nothing in Zelda thus far has had the same impact on me as most of the side quests in the Witcher 3.

No point actually having a discussion with you because before BoTW everyone enjoyed Witcher and praised it for its side content but now that BoTW is out and people compare it to W3 suddently ever side quest in Witcher is a MMO tier shitfest with garbage writing in a game with awful combat shit world etc. etc.

The point is, Witcher 3's open world feels hollow and fake because your interaction with the world is so limited. I've had this problem with a lot of open world games after BotW.

The people who call botw a shit game are just as bad as the ones who call it the greatest game of all time. It's a great game but it has some issues. Pull your heads out of your collective assholes and enjoy video games.

Who cares? Super Mario Bros. 3 lacks environment reactions. You phase right through trees and clouds. Doesn't make it any less of a good game.
Immersion is a meme. Plus, won't the cartoony graphics and otherwordly creatures (Goron and Zora) in Breath of the Wild do a fairly good job of ripping you from the immersion, wouldn't you say? At least the hyper realistic graphics of Witcher 3 serve to mitigate that disconnect.

It's an idea that could end up being gimmicky at best. XCX already has a fair amount of frantic action going on during battles, more than BotW, and numbers you have to keep track of. Why should the devs have to implement a physics engine to add more clutter and potentially reduce performance on a console that already has mediocre hardware?

In Xenoblade the stuff there is to do in the world contributes to player progression and worldbuilfimg. A better idea would be to make those gigantic alien structures more interesting, with some questline behind it rather than leaving it as a setpiece. Make those floating islands actually float - not exactly taxing on performance.

Because it's Nintendo and Zelda. Their fanbase was alwas cancerous. It's always "Nintendo can do no wrong". They could literally sell pieces of cut content from the game (which they fucking do, look Hard Mode as a DLC) and people would be happy and glad for it.

Expansion pass for BotW costs 20$, for 25$ you can get both Witcher 3 expansions that have more content together than whole Breath.

Witcher 3 is whata great open world game should aspire to be.

Zelda is a barebones, early access survival game that relies on player patience, which gives nothing but tedium to people who want actual content. Running and climbing is not content. All they did was dilute simple physics puzzles across the world with mediocre everything.

Its an experience for people with autism who enjoy doing the same things again and again.

Saying there's nothing to do in BotW's overworld is a fucking lie.

Saying it's all the same because it looks the same is fucking shallow. The Shrines all look the same, but they have very different puzzles and mechanics. The Koroks all represent different puzzles, and are mostly meant to be stumbled upon rather than hunted down unless you're just a completionist.

Gothic specifically, because they didn't go fucking overboard with it. That's the biggest problem with most openworld games. They are so big that you just stop caring. You don't feel like you're making progress with exploration. Even if you do, you quickly find out they ran out of ideas and just started copy/pasting everything under the sun.

That's why games like Gothic/Risen 1 are so good with their worlds. They build the world only large enough to fit they amount of ideas they could come up with. You constantly see new things and even when they re-use enemies they do so in different ways under different circumstances. Most games, like BOTW, just have the same old outposts with the same kind of enemies and same kind of treasure over and over again.

What's funny is that not a single cutscene plays just by entering a town for the first time yet you get a cutscene when you enter every Zelda village on the first time (Korok village, Hateno Village, Zora Domain).

And what about Wii U scores? Still higher, not with console. BTFO witcherfag
>>
>>382023570

I played it on Cemu and it just has nothing to discuss. Literally what is there to talk about? The coolest shit in the game (Dragons) turned out to be more shrine bait, there's no real interesting side quests/characters/lore/story to talk about. Nothing but the same rehashed Mokoblin camps or another shitty Shrine/Korok Seed.

This is why Witcher 3 was a genuine milestone and the user reviews/sales/GOTYs confirmed it.

Breath of the Wild reminds me of MGSV. Genuinely. An above average game that got an overly inflated Metacritic on namesake alone.

So what, MGSV has a higher metacritic yet everybody knows it wasn't better and the GOTYs proved that.

Witcher 3 is THE MOST AWARDED game ever made. No Nintendo game comes close, not even OoT.

Breath of the Wild is what exactly? Nothing, it doesn't have the highest metacritic, it has below 9.0 user scores and it doesn't excel anywhere.

Witcher 3 is a hallmark in gaming and will be the benchmark all open world games are held to.

Zelda Breath of Wild is already forgotten and got outsold by Horizon Zero Dawn, LOL

Even if you're probably baiting, TW3 is nothing but another Half-Life 2. Mediocre in every way possible except graphics but doesn't go anywhere at all for the medium. Same thing is going to happen with the new Cyberpunk game. Same thing happened with GTA 5. Same thing is gonna happen with RDR2. In the gaming industry they're praised because this or that but if it was any other medium critics would give them terrible reviews. They're the average blockbuster movie that has forgettable stories but pretty visuals.

Witcher 3 is the perfect example of making players think they're actually playing when they're just watching a movie. You can't have a good game if the combat is just holding the attack button. The "open world" is just a meme. ITs literally empty with a monster camp occasionally sprouting up. The side quests aren't interesting because the gameplay is boring. Maybe if they focused on gameplay instead of long cutscenes they could have made a good game. RN its just a shitty movie with holding a button to kill things

They even have the exact same protagonist, a holier than thou bounty hunter who is smarter and cooler than all the plebeian citizens he encounters, every woman he comes across eyefucks him and wants his dick, and does quests for idiots who couldn't kill the wolf who stole their cheeses if you gave them a gun.

No. Stories in games is usually A to B shit so there's not much that stands out. But even if I stay within gaming then FFVI or Max Payne or BotW has better stories. BotW is simple and straightforward but it's also really well made given it's an open world game. It's really smart how they created the story so it's non-linear. Max Payne is old but is also much more memorable. I've played through TW3 and the expansions but the only thing that stood out to me was that ghost guy and you played poker and he wanted to live out his fantasies.

Not even GOTY

Witcher 3 shits on it tbqh

>>382027067

Zelda has had hundreds of chances to win with its 20+ games and even with every game combined, it has less GoTYs than fucking Dragon Age Inquisition

LOL

Does Witcher 3 have Geralt flying side by side with a dragon?
Didn't think so.

The Senior designer of the WITCHER 3 says it "Raised the bar for open world games", you literally can't get any better than that
>>
>>382014849
That's true, I'd agree with that.

But on the flip side Zelda doesn't really handle towns/cities as well as other comparable open world games, and as a franchise it never really has done.

I like Zelda because it does a couple of neat things with the mechanics - like how weather changes some locations.

But the world itself in terms of its world-building, NPCs, lore and overarching main quest - as well as side quests - simply isn't as interesting to me.

The dragons were pretty great but they got old after you figured out their patterns. Should have been more rare and less necessary for armor upgrades.

Zelda is quite possibly the most overhyped series of all time. Literally anybody who thinks that it's the "greatest series of all time" is nothing more than a manchild with rose-tinted glasses who needs to get a grip on reality.

This particular island was very nice.
The Wii U version ran terribly at first.
It quickly got better.

The gaming designer for Witcher 3 also praised Horizon Zero Dawn.

It's like calling a 4/10 beta manlet "handsome".

Fact is, the gaming world knows whats what. Witcher 3 has a much higher user score, much higher sales and more GoTYs than every Nintendo game combined.

Stay booty bombed

If only the combat system wasn't as flat.
While the system in W2 was quite clunky at first, it at least felt satisfying when you learned to use it.
I do understand that as a developer, you'd have to move forward in some way regarding such an issue, but I don't feel like they've achieved the same feel of momentum as other games in the genre have.

Fighting in W3 felt shallow.
Credit for adapting the MGR-like finishers. Leaving a corpse neatly split in half was very fun, even comical at times.

Exploring at very first in BotW, with CEMU being incapable of emulating the magnesis and stasis powers, you were left with bombs, and potions, to deal with things.

I ran into a white-maned lynel. The worst of the kind. I had made a lot of spicy food, found a good jacket and went for the iciest mountain-top I could find, and set about conquering it.

It was already contested, by a foe I should not soon forget.

That thing whooped my ass at least 20 times, and only went down after eating my entire inventory of items.

But like any Souls game, I kept knocking my head into the wall, until it gave.
Felt very good. And more so, it really led me to appreciate the new combat in Zelda.
It feels so astoundingly good, in terms of weight. When these Lynels whack you, you are nothing but a corpse flying through the air.
When it graces your shield, your heart skips a beat. And when you time the dodge just right, that's the one moment you may strike.

All a very satisfying process.
I wish Witcher 3 would've adapted something similar.

What is the guy in the video doing? Detlaff can just be cheesed with igni, and his only other good attack was that bats in his second form, but you don't even have to doge those, you can just sprint to one side.
>>
>>382013425

Xenoblade X is the only one. Only in terms of environment design, climbing and exploration though - the world isn't interactive like BotW's at all.
