that being said, you'd have a better time making a great linear campaign then throwing a bunch of randomness in there (see LoU)
my bad for mentioning DA, i was thinking DA 2 and that game was boring to me. i dont even kno why i listed it
Open-world really isn't all its cracked up to be :yeshrug:

Where's Batman AA and AC on this list?It seems like the open-world buzzword is the saving grace for shytty story lines. Let's throw a bunch random crap in to divert attention from the lackluster story that goes nowhereThe best game last gen were linear (Last of Us, Bioshock, Uncharted 2, Tomb Raider, Gears
, Dragon Age, Dishonored)
Sadly, I don’t get giddy when I hear about a game, which was once linear, going the open world route. A lot of devs are abusing the hell out of it and pushing mediocre titles. Dont get me wrong, there's ALWAYS exceptions, this is just how i feel.
AC is def more like an open world game, and it was one of the best that dropped last gen

It depends on how open the world actually is. Too many open world games are cities where you can't enter 90% of the buildings, basically turning nearly the entire world into padding. Drive here, drive there. Why not just cut right to the location you're going and cut out the ten street blocks I have to drive through for the sixth time?
It's not that it's bad, but a real open world game will give you a playground, and let you explore everything in it. Every crevice, every building.

State of Decay would change your mind, but you limit yourself to what you are exposed to so suffer like the fakkit you chose to beIt seems like the open-world buzzword is the saving grace for shytty story lines.

skyrim got very VERY repetitive, i threw a comment in there about exceptions tho so
This is something that dead rising 3 did a really good job at. You could enter most buildings and creating weapons/vehicles kept things fresh throughout the game
what I didn't like about Batman AC is it's easy to finish the main-story pretty quick, and just be left with a lot of stuff to do/find
I think Skyrim did a better job of distracting you with side missions to stretch out the whole game
edit: now that I think about it, the advantage games like Skyrim have is 'looting'. you want to do side-quests so you can get some cool loot. and hopefully that cool loot will help you complete the 'main quest'. in Batman AC you just get 'experience points', and again, at that point you probably already beat the main story and unlocking new abilities just becomes a novelty

Skyrim got repetitive? How? The sheer number of different things you can do or explore....that statement literally doesn't make senseskyrim got very VERY repetitive, i threw a comment in there about exceptions tho so

the challenge with open world games is that there has to be a POINT to the stuff you're doing. just going around and doing stuff gets old after awhile. every gamer needs direction.
fukkary was so good, I didn't even remeber any of the missions
fukkery you say? sounds right up my alley. tell me more about this game. 
sorry but that shyt sounds boring as hell. what's the point of going into every building and every crevice in a game like GTA?
its only cool in games like Skyrim where you can literally pickup and collect everything. otherwise there's no incentive.

yeah i've seen open world and online ruin enough games for now...they think just because they throw those 2 elements into a game that it's going to be amazing and that's not always the case.
