Maybe Xenoblade because it had some original locales. Both had shit gameplay tho.

Say what you will about Todd and modern Bethesda. I'll agree with most of it. I do insist that Todd doesn't hate RPGs though, that he isn't making them worse. He just has a different preference for them. He clearly prefers exploration over combat or story, and he focuses his mechanics on perfecting that.

FO4 aside Bethesda's big names at least do exploration well. Very well.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WIld
Horizon: Zero Dawn

GTA 5
Forza Horizon 3

The best parts of fo4 are the horror themed dungeons. Especially dunwuch borers.

Dwarf Fortress (adventure mode) this should count for at least 5 games by itself
STALKER

>>386952404
Honestly I didn't play a huge amount of it. Enough to form an opinion but not enough to really understand it. I mostly just know I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other modern FOs or TES games.

I think I might have done one of those. Something something super mutants and gore. Was okay.

>>386950391
FFXV
MGSV

Fun games. Now the contrarians will say these are bad open world games, but prove to me that these would have worked better without open world.

There is literally not one open world game in this world that has even half as polished, varied and good gameplay and level design as Zelda BotW.

If you knew a little bit about video games, you would know this and wouldn't make such a terrible post.

>>386952274
San Andreas, maybe. Definitely not 5. The map arrangement is horrible and sub-optimal.

>Nintendo sure did make a classic again! It's literally over 2X better than every other open world game out there!
Get a load of this guy

>>386952590
With mods and the dlc it's a pretty fun game. Lots of good gameplay overhauls now (sim settlements, war never changes, horizon).

>>386953128
I just finished a heavily modded Skyrim playthrough. I'll probably go with FO4 after I've had time to cool down from open world stuff. Give the modding community time to grow as well.

>>386952890
Well name a few better open worlds, then.

>>386952890
Not him, but honestly it sounds like BotW managed to overcome the trope of open worlds being barren by adding a lot of good mechanics and rewarding exploring, giving it a handcrafted feel.

>>386952890
I agree with him

>>386952890
yep, that sounds about right

>>386954381
>but honestly it sounds like BotW managed to overcome the trope of open worlds being barren
As someone who owns the game, enjoys the game, and also bought the overpriced DLC, I think you are wrong. To me, BotW suffers more from the open world issue more so than even Skyrim. Every "puzzle" is pretty much solved by climbing up a big mountain and gliding over to the solution. I can also be riding on my horse for 10 minutes without seeing a single thing that says "come explore me". The only thing that really demands full exploration is the Korok, and it doesn't even feel that rewarding. At first, the extra slots is nice, but soon becomes pointless.

Morrowind
Fallout 1/2/New Vegas
Pathologic
Arcanum
Gothic games
EVE
Just Cause
Saints Row 2
BotW

I'm even tempted to say Witcher, which does it nearly good, shame for the last minute changes they shoehorned in. If you filter out the damn PoI's it's pretty damn good.

As much as I love these two, Fo1&2 aren't exactly open world. It's more HUB-based. Outside the towns and cities, stopping on the map manually will result in... nothing. A empty square of land. Random encounter at best.

>>386951810
i fucking love terranigma, but is not open world my negro, is an linear action rpg, a fucking good one

>>386950751

How is it that Nintendo has the two best open world games of the generation?

>>386955658
The fidelity of terrain in any instance of the game's high-resolution view is not what defines an open world.
Progression design is.

BotW, Gothic, just about every GTA, Saints Row games, and I'd argue Prototype.

hi ndroid

how's it like to have such deep delusions and ignorance?

>The map arrangement is horrible and sub-optimal.
what? let's just look at what you typed pleb;
>map arrangement
what's wrong with it? You have a believable big city, a small desert town and a lot of beautiful well designed areas in between. What's wrong then with the arrangement of the map, whatever that means?
>sub-optimal
what do you mean by this plebo? what is it supposed to be optimal to? You can easily get around it in multiple ways, the main roads are nice to cruise around.

>honestly, /thread
oh, I get it now. Don't my me droid, I know you guys are allergic to facts.

>>386952716
>varied and good gameplay
oh yeah, gliding through and solving generic easy as piss shrines while selling fruits to the next horse stable is so engaging and original
fuck off moron. Botw is a solid 7/10, like most nintendo games. We have cemu this time around, we saw your "game of the decade" crap.
