The lack of diversity, and so many games morphing into this open-world sandbox is what's ruining gaming for me. Thank God there are indies there to keep the diversity present.
Open world western rpgs are boring as fukk. Fetch quests and collectathons with mediocre gameplay and bad story telling.
Whats he point of an open world if you have shytty gameplay. Its like once youve played 10 hours youve already done everything but to beat the game you have to do the same shyt over and over and over.
Its about exploration my ass. Go for a hike outside if you want to explore I want to play a game not look at rehashed areas with different alignments of objects and backgrounds.
