ITT: bad games that happen to be sequels and happen to be open world

>>384348712
This was the most soulless game I've played in awhile

>>384348712
> open world

I think you mean to say levels without loading screens linked by a central hub.

Open world implies you can go anywhrre in the game space. Try going down to street level outside of setpieces

>>384348712
GTA V
MGS V

>>384349187
I'm STILL mad

>>384349237
>GTA V
What about the rest of them since every one of them is open world?

>>384349301
Nope. V is shit.

>>384348712
I actually enjoyed the hub of ME2, after I recognized the city enough to know the central routes

I will never laugh enough at people who are mad at this game.

It's an excellent game and one of the best games of the decade.

>>384348712
Open world was only one of the many things that made this bad.

>>384349618
It's a good game, sure, but it's certainly not "excellent."

Witcher 3 xDDDD

gook from grorious nippon made it so of course it has to be a masterpiece

>>384349618
The ending(s) were underwhelming at best. I guess they nailed the
>Revenge is hollow
part. But I'd say it's because Skullface was criminally underdevelopped/used.

It took me 60 hours to complete it, 15 of them were just going from one place to another and another 15 were completing pointless missions.
This game really needed to be like the 2nd part.

>>384349937
Whereas The Witcher 2's maps are mind-numbingly boring, because there's barely anything in it, it's just a setting for an act, nothing more.

>>384349368
But its not made worse by being open world you flaming retard. The game is simply garbage in its own right.

>>384350196
And those acts are what the witcher is about. The game doesn't have good combat or rpg mechanics. It's all about story, and that doesn't need a map as big as your momma's ass.

I remember Alan Wake was going to be open world. Then they realized that would have been shit so they changed it like a couple months from release and the game we got was rad. I wish more devs would be like Remedy.

>>384350656
But that results in a bland map. Flotsam was great, but the following two maps Kaedwin Camp/Vergen and Loc Muinne were dull as shit.

every open world game

>>384349618
it has great mechanics but the story is incomplete and the game suffers from awful pacing issues.

>>384350985
It's obvious that we have different priorities for what we enjoy in a game. If I have to choose between having a bland map or having tens of hours of tedium doing side missions that don't advance the story or bring gameplay innovations, I'll choose the first one in a heartbeat.

>>384351106
Good joke.

>>384351438
I don't really have a priority, I'm just indicating that The Witcher 2's map isn't all that better.

>>384351130
So aside from the 'incomplete story', every MGS game ever?

MGS3 is one of my favourite games of all time but if you think it has good pacing you are having a laugh

>>384351637
>>384351637
it has no issues from my point of view, linear games rarely have pacing issues.

but mgsv makes you do repetitive missions to feed you a minute of story. Dump all the important shit in tapes and the mute venom doesnt work at all on a mgs game.

I wanted the hour long cutscenes and codec calls from old.

Its still a great game mechanically, just leaves a sour taste.

>>384351637
Eh, that's only due to the long cutscenes, which mainly happen towards the end, and that one between the two missions. But I mean, everything in that game takes forever if you're playing it stealth, so I don't tend to notice unless they go into one of those real life footage segments because I immediately get really bored.

>>384348712
What was it about this game? I normally hate open world, even back before literally every game was doing it, but Mirror's Edge actually seemed like a good fit to me.

>>384352178
For me, it took way too long to get from one place to another

>>384349937
>>384351438
Your argument makes sense however there's absolutely nothing forcing you to do every side quest and the main story or map zones aren't blocked by side quests or anything.

>made worse by being open world
Really? THAT's why the game was worse?

>>384352445
The only way I had to know that the side quests made the game worse was to play them. I have realized that by the time I arrived to Skellige, after many hours wasted going up and down in Novigrad.

>>384352728
Yes, that is why the game is worse.

>>384352251
Plus there weren't many paths back an forth, so all the movement got tedious pretty fast.

Honestly I think ME 2 was one of the few times the jump to open world made sense. The level design itself was garbage and didn't maximize its potential, but it could have been great. ME 1 was almost entirely linear and only had a handful of times where you were actually rewarded for exploring to find new routes to beat levels or get faster times. In the open world version (in concept) you should be able to find a ton of different routes that lead to different options for level-clearing, quicker shortcuts, and rewards, but DICE fucked it up.

>>384352728
Ew. What do people have against characters being attractive?

>>384348712
the sjw story hurt it more then anything else

>>384353208
Mass Effect 2 wasn't open-world. In fact, it was the complete opposite "jump", whereas ME1 was open-world.

I preferred ME2, but there's nothing open about it when each mission literally has a unique location.

>>384354310
And I'm retarded.

Woah what a shocker

>>384348831
You better delete this image, (((they))) might see it

>>384348712
you mean feminist propoganda

>>384349618
I dunno, i think V is worse than the others but never understood why people prefer samey-looking corridors and circle rooms. Those don't provide any difficulty either.
