nah its these two

I blame him for it. Arena is the first open world game I can think of.

>>386055438

i'm almost 100% sure that that's not true

>>386055201
Ubishit took the craze and bodyslammed it in to hell with it's cut and paste open world games. I hate open world because of it. MGSV gets a pass cause I like movement mechanics and there's actual shit to do.

MGSV is the definition of empty open world. at least things you do in Ubishit games actually change the world.

i will never ever take minectaft seriously as a video game

you know why? because everyone i know who plays it is a child. i legitimately don't know anyone over 10 who's playing this shit

>>386060346

ubishit games are pretty good

ff15 is the best example for an empty open world. and quite literally so, there is absolutely nothing to do except killing a bunch of enemies every now and then.

>>386055201
Partially, yes.

>>386057068
It might have been among the first in first person though. It predates Strife, and it came out the same year as King's Field. Its direct influences were games like Ultima but those were top-down 2d games.

S'truth.

>>386055201
He's responsible for gaming itself.

if you were not gaming when GTAIII came out and saw all the gta clones after you did not see the biggest inspiration in gaming.
This game literally created a new era of vidya

No, Assassin's Creed is. Devs have tried to mimic AC, not Elder Scrolls.

Anon how many 10 year olds do you know...?

>>386055438
>first open world game I can think of.
that you can think of.
Zelda is credited as one of the pioneering open world games, though not the actual first.
I used to play hunter as a kid, on the amiga and that was before arena.

>>386062079
You should stop playing MOBAs before your brain also starts to disappear.

MSGV isn't a traditional "open world game" like Oblivion or Skyrim though.

Try to inhibit dht. It's the form of testosterone that causes balding.

>>386055201

Probably gta3.

>>386063526

i don't know about that. sure there are tons of gta clones, but other open world games mostly seem to try to follow the elder scrolls/fallout formula

That's what I'm talking about

>>386063526
this, gta3 was the game or at least the time for open world craze

>>386062581
you're right, it's less interesting and has less content, only offering better gameplay, which gets tedious well before the game's halfway point.

Skyrim kinda sucks
There's a bunch of people you can't kill, which makes playing as a criminal shitty
>Get caught stealing in some inn
>Try to kill the person who caught you
>She just pants on the ground
>Turns out she's an essential
Overpraising New Vegas is a meme at this point but I loved how you could kill anything and have the plot actually change around that instead of lazily making the plot revolve around a bunch of dumb NPCs

>>386062173
most garbage open world a lot more like Assassin's Creed than what bethesda do and unlike bethesda most open world dont even bother making a semi coherent world that are just giant checklists.

Those guys just sneaked in and finished what Driver started.

>>386055201
Probably, I'm not saying Skyrim was the first popular open world game. But it does seem to be around the time the open world craze really took off.

Neo-/v/ gentleman.

Remember how we all hated it. Remember how we all laughed at how ridiculous the very concept of paying so much for so little was. Remember how none of us thought anything like this would catch on in any way.

>>386055201
I blame GTA personally.
