The world was at a slightly larger scale than the people/cars.
You moved relatively slow (top speed in the fastest car is only ~100mph IIRC).
The reduced draw distance helped hide the world.
Most of the objectives weren't just on the main stretches of long roads and had you going through multiple turns to get to them.

They actually made it feel like three full, distinct cities, and it was still possible to get lost and find new places after hundreds of hours of play. Meanwhile V has a map that's something like 6x the size, but still manages to feel tiny and rarely gives any feeling of exploration.

pubg and vice are COMPLETE opposites. each area is handcrafted and made to resemble or be specific location. pubg is literally throw darts at the map, okay thats 4 building, repeat

a game dosent feel big because youve travelled for 20 minutes and seen nothing
a game feels big because youve travelled 10 and found 20 different things. it feels big because theres so much to see, so much to do, so many different things.
no one cares about an hour of flat plain desert with some different elevations

>>388590826

>>388599642
in open world your escape plan is literally "the opposite direction of the enemy, maybe slightly left or right if a hill or obstacle might conceal you faster". in a building, even if you know it by heart, being spotted and running away isnt a simple "turn around", its possible your in a dead end, its possible your escape route is longer then the route the enemy takes to block it, there might be multiple routes and you may need to make a split second decision.

outside its just...run the other direction.

The catch is that a Discord account is allegedly needed to be connected to a Revive Network one. Past that though it's straightforward, you create your six dudes on the website, find the launcher through pinned messages on their chat, and launch the game via a certain page to start playing.

Everyone has all cosmetics, weapons, emotes, and some widgets unlocked permanently, but consumable widgets seem to be inaccessible so that means less tonic faggotry but also no bandages or wrenches.

This seems pretty good, is this My Summer Car?

It's simple.

You need to make a map SMALLER to make it feel bigger, and design quests to teach the player about the details of the area.

Take GTA:VC. The game's starting quests keep you around the same area long enough that you start to learn the intricacies of the city. Then you start to have fun ditching cops with the jumps you learned, or dodging through a narrow pedestrian walkway as a shortcut that you know, but isn't on the map. That way, when shit gets real, you get satisfaction in outsmarting the mission/cops/whatever with the knowledge that you gained in an organic way.

From there the game gradually pushes you to the other side of the bridges, but never at a rate that you feel overwhelmed, or where you don't feel like you generally know where things are even if you don't know everything about the area. Eventually you end up learning the whole city.

Now take GTA:V. It's an utter clustefuck, which, to Rockstar's credit, is just like LA even if the traffic is too light. If I need to get from downtown out to the desert or some fucking mountain, I'm not going to be arsed to figure out how to get there, that's a gigantic pain in my ass, and there's far too much to know. I'm just going to follow the general direction of the objective marker because driving around aimlessly isn't fun.

Same thing applies to fantasy games. TW3 suffered from the "ride roach to place then follow map markers" with the exception of a few quests. JC2 is probably the worst offender. Open world games need LESS space with MORE content that rewards the player for knowing the area.

The biggest flaws with GTA5's map have to do with the yellow brick road GPS that's a staple of rockstar games, the low density of content is some thing that could be argued is appropriate to the fastest common mode of travel in the game (10 car garages being limited to the city not withstanding), which if it's multi-player would be super cars, high end sports cars, or helicopters.

>>388609297
purple side bottom has dragon advantage. Bot lane is harder to gank, they have the open side of the pit as well. Blue can get seen and trapped in the pit while purple cant generally speaking. Blue has steal advantage but a ward resolves that.

>>388609601
Riot historically has been god awful at fixing or implementing quality of life features. This last year or so they have been kicking ass at it though, implemented a new client, sandbox mode, new honor, and replay system which players have been crying for for 5 or so years with no word from them so who knows they might actually implement the camera swap some time.

if they leave it as is I imagine it would be because of confusion reasons. bot lane and top lne are synonymous with the characters played there at this point, it would be a major change in communication.

The gap in years between Vanilla to Cataclysm, where the old map was made unavailable is less years than Cataclysm to present day.

I don't know the exact numbers but as an example.
The vanilla map lasted 5 years
It's been 7 years since the new one was made

>>388613301
As long as the aggregate win rate is as close to 50% as possible then it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Asymmetric allows for someone to be exceptionally good at exploiting one side's advantages to their benefit, symmetric allows you to be certain you can thrive on which ever side of the map you're placed on.

For what it's worth, I can't think of a game that's stood the test of time and has asymmetrical maps. Sports and board games are played on symmetric fields and boards.

I wish I could post Runescape but it is either dead space of nothing but walking or have so much shit shove into a single area that realistically can never be a real town (Lumby nowadays) making the map poorly designed. Also the devs fuck themselves over when they literally surround the F2P area with P2P stuff. They can't expand without outright making P2P stuff into F2P.

Eldevin is basically Runescape but without the mistakes. Image related. Towns feel like towns and space feel like space but if you stick to the roads you aren't stuck walking for hours just to reach somewhere.

GTAV's map is packed so full of detail it still blows my mind. I often hear this bullshit on /v/ how GTAV's world feels small and isn't fun to explore, but it just shows me that you haven't even done any exploring outside the missions.

GTAV didn't put its own map to good use in the main story but god damn you can just go walking through the different areas and be completely immersed. You'd be surprised at how many little details they thought of if you actually pay attention to the surroundings.

The game has some nice little locations that make you go "oh wow, that's neat" but there's nothing really breathtaking about any of them. None of them come close to matching the mystery of San Andreas proper, except for perhaps the abandoned mineshaft out in Blaine County. But that's just one place.

>>388607431
Blue side advantage on the map is mostly because they nerfed the ever living fuck out of dragon. Taking dragons is basically a negative objective at this point - you get mathematically more value from stealing two jungle camps and pushing a wave yo tower. Back when it gave 1k gold divided to your team it was more worth it, and even further back when it gave XP purple side actually had advantage in high elo.

Even then, most of the modern blue side advantage is because modern riot is absolute pants at champ design direction and counterpicking no longer exists in the game, so blue side gets advantage of first picking a strong champ and purple side getting last pick no longer allows them to hardcounter their matchup of choice.
