This was the same point i made in the ghost of tsushima thread. People always compare open world games to GTA or something and rule them generic. But realistically we've never gotten an open world game in that particular setting so for me its fresh.60% of an open world game appeal is the setting and mythos... So, I don't understand how anyone can argue generic open world generalization when there are zero games in this setting.
So, it doesn't make sense this being labeled a generic open world.
