Well I hope no one copies Ubisoft's shitty collectathon open world design.
Destiny is not an open world game. Unless cooridors mean open world now.
wow uncharted 4 will be open world, is this why ND delayed it?RPG mechanics are now passe huh? The best games of last year were arguably Shadow of Mordor and Far Cry 4. At least the numbers support these as being in demand.
With games like Batman, Witcher, The Phantom Pain, Fallout, Just Cause, Mad Max, Tomb Raider and Uncharted 4 all open world type games, clearly the best stuff coming down the pipe is all open world. The sentiments in this thread are fascinating, but everyone the hate for Ubisoft is as popular as their games lol.
Edit: Forgot about Dragon Age Inquisition being at the top of last year as well.
Monolith sure did.Well I hope no one copies Ubisoft's shitty collectathon open world design.
Absolute brilliance, sometimes simplicity is perfection.
I disagree with that. Whilst this may be true for main story missions, the side objectives and patrols have you exploring all over the different locations. It's very much explore everywhere, complete your bounties wherever or however, and collect everything you can in the process.
The problem with saying a blanket statement like that is it is not entirely correct, yes the formula has been done to death to the annualised titles, but it does not instantly make those games worse off, for some people they enjoy what that formula produces. I for one found more enjoyment out of the more 'formulated' Unity over the AC4 pirate game, because it was more like the previous games formula.I'm calling them bad because the formula is bad. You only have to compare those games with earlier entries in the same series to reflect that.
In regards to the series you mention here, elder scrolls/dragon age, I feel as if they have been improved, they have taken the base that the previous games (at least in part) built.Adding more open worlds while removing depth did not make better games. Is Skyrim better than Morrowind? Is Inquisition better than Origins? They certainly sold more!
You might say yes, but saying otherwise is not contrarian, it is just the reality of what those newer games are, which is nowhere close to where they are could be. So just copying them again because they sell is selling gaming short.

Need more games like Crackdown that actually build the missions into the game structure and let you affect the world. More interactivity with stuff is needed too, I'm tired of only being able to interact with civilians by killing them.
Out of all those games I only played Smash. Not sure how to feel about that.
Open-worlds were a mistake, they're nothing but trash.
I don't understand anyone buying sports games. They are the must underwhelming, janky "AAAs" on the market.
I am waiting for good open world game design ideas which don't rely on GPS map and redundant sidequests.
SOTC was a good example.
Why create all these beautifull enviorments just to force players to constantly have their eye on a mini-map. :/
It's not open world don't really know what the poster was talking about. It's open linear where you have multiple paths and routes to reach the same point.wow uncharted 4 will be open world, is this why ND delayed it?

Some let you turn the HUD elements off, thus making it the player's choice. This is better than annoying those people who do want waypoints etc.
LOL i actually like Ubisoft games but this is too damn good.
Thing i loved about Bloodborne is that there wasnt a map, it really made me work out where to go and as a result i actually remember all the paths and areas and how to get there which made the game much more memorable and special. Its been years since i have played a game where i have been able to do that and i realised its the over reliance on maps and waypoint markers.
With most other open world games i hardly ever remember exact locations or routes to get there because i just stick the waypoint on and away i go.

I didn't understand the Bloodborne quote. Someone please explain?
The waypoints, objectives, checkpoints...etc were photoshopped into the image to resemble generic open world games, the game itself has none of those (except the health bar), you have to figure everything out yourself.
To be fair, if Nintendo can combine the Smash Bros. games as one SKU then I think Ubisoft has a case.
I keep hearing Call of Duty is losing steam every year and yet...
The first time I tried to explore in Destiny, I was given 4 seconds to turn around or die. I love the game, but "explore everywhere" does not belong in a description of it.
Fully open worlds can be great when done right.
