For single player, do you prefer open world or linear games?

[Mortal1]

The well exectuted open world reigns supreme for me even linear games are better once they start added room for exploration like Last of us Part 2, Sekiro. Once a game is able to grab you into its world with the right mechanics your going to love going back to see the world.

linear

I like linear but i like to play a mix if different kind of shyt.

Linear games like Uncharted and Last Of Us are infinitely replayable to me. I dont think ive ever replayed an open world game.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Some spicy hot takes.

Bruce Straley is the ex-Naughty Dog director, worked on uncharted 1-4 and TLOU, second guy is Ubisoft guy that worked on Far Cry 4 and Assassins Creed 3

Ummmm this a little too nerdy for me breh

When it comes to games

I like my game directors or designers nameless and faceless.


I love a lot of games…. But there isn’t one game I love enough where I need to know who was behind them

But you know movie directors

 

[Greenhornet]

open world easily

there's no replayability in walking down a hallway all over again with the same cutscenes as before

I'm surprised the voting is so one sided

Just like movies and TV, I cant do some shyt when its scripted like that

like
"you can only walk to the edge of this cliff"
"omg the cliff crumbled"
"begin bottom of the cliff hallway"
"fight your way from the bottom of the cliff"


I like to feel like I'm playing the game
not like the game is playing me


whereas a game like Skyrim, maybe I just want to craft and do alchemy all day
I'm free to just walk around and gather ingredients and enjoy myself. I'm in control of my playthrough and style.

But you know movie directors

They more out in front of their products.

Some even have their names attached to the films ala Nolan or Tarantino.


Outside of the MGS guy, very rarely do you see
“Sam Haskins presents Uncharted”

And then see dude on Late Night television shows and red carpets and etc sit down interview shows promoting this project

Obviously I mean gamers, i don’t expect a lot of people in other subsections to know half the directors yall talk about in film room either.

Yall be like “they got Wes Anderson to direct episode 8 of Yellowjackets this shyt finna be trash “

Na man…. Not gamers.

Outside of the head MS, Sony, and Nintendo guy and that’s based off the G4s or whatever.

I don’t know the name or face of anyone from any game.

If the creators of GTA, Uncharted, Mortal Kombat, or Red Dead walked passed I wouldn’t who they was as neither would you Bubba

And it’s all good

What about Todd Howard?

 

[The Pledge]

Open world unless it’s a setting I fukk with.

If it’s Star Wars or Marvel, I can take linear.

 

[tinnyskillz]

Ideally something in between the two. But if I had to choose one, i'd prefer linear. Both is needed in the industry though imo. It's just that these days too many games go open world that would've been better off linear. Plus I feel like thes devs make these big open world games, and they're either empty, not lively, lack interest or, all of the above. It's like they make it open world just to say it's open world.
