Open world, player decision making games are overrated

[Batz]

strangely enough, i agree. I like rpg's and open world games, but some thier novelty wears off (far cry 3, skyrim, etc.) even red dead redemption got boring after awhile

 

[ChrisDorner]

I disagree. Some of the most fun I've had this gen are from games that had fun mechanics and large worlds for me to play around in.

Assasins creed, skyrim, far cry, state of decay, mass effect, just cause, dragons dogma, red dead, Forza horizon, Darksiders, just to name a few, were far better than the linear games in my opinion.

Next gen it looks like they are taking everything "open world" you movie gamers are gonna be

where the hell did you get that from? A few open world games shown at E3? Sit down somewhere.

At least half the games shown at the big events were open world.

 

[MostReal]

I personally don't care for Open World games

I'm not in the mood to go down the list but I can guarantee less than half of the games shown at E3 were open world.

I could tell a few of you cats posted in here in knee-jerk fashion.

I said EXCLUDING GTA, Rock* open world games, Skyrim/Fallout. A few runner ups could be included but the majority of the time I've felt some games that have open world elements feel tacked on and "me too". Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3 fall right under this.

Saints Row 3

 

[mortuus est]

i like the ratchet/clank games and shyt like that tbh

 

[samtalksradio]

funny it this is the exact opposite for me. as a casual gamer now, open world games are better for me to play around with, get bored, in go on with my life

 

[daze23]

there's a lot of upcoming open world games

GTA5
Watch Dogs
The Division
MGS5
The Witcher 3
Dead Rising 3
DayZ

Far Cry was always 'open world' though

I feel like the Infamous series was one of the worst at this. Nothing you did in the actual game had a real overall effect on the story until the very end of the game.

Arkham City didn't feel "open world" to me. shyt was pretty small, and I felt like everything took place at a handful of locations
