So, after the utter disappointments that were MGSV, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, and GTAV, can we all agree that the open-world genre needs to die?
Open worlds are literally anti-fun.

You just don't like them. Tens of millions of people disagree with you.
Cry.

>disagree with you.
You mean suckers right?
>>319366694
They were always shit filled with nothing but empty space and shallow tasks. Can't wait for people to wake up from this shitty trend linearity is not the devil there is a good balance.
Do you people know about differences in opinion?
Must you always conflate whatever outlier opinions you hold with actual objective facts?
>>319366694
We need better open worlds from devs who aren't lazy, not to kill the genre.
Also W3 and MGSV are good? And XCX just came out too, so is that.
>>319366694
Hey guise i hate le popular game am i oldfag now XDDDD
>>319368161
shut up
I prefer open worlds. I for one just enjoy observing the scenery. Also what the hell do we go back to?
Close corrider linear progressing games?
Open world is the logical step for gaming. We just need more dense worlds.

but he's right.
>I DONT LIKE OPEN WORLD GAEMS SO I WANT IT TO SHUT DOWN BECAUSE I SAID SO!!
Piss off

>>319366694

Ya naw
>le mgsv was bad
>>319366694
>Fallout 4
>Dissappointment
It's better than Skyrim which is all I really fucking needed. Cut it some slack senpai
>>319366694
I agree they need a fresh take. Just like MMOs they've grown stagnant. Too much focus on big worlds and the quantity of content over quality. XCX is thousands of fetch quests but lucky us it's randomized drops so getting a handful of flowers can take hours. Fallout is so concerned with density that the entire game is shooting randoms in the face.
It can be done. GTA and RDR flirt with great worlds and content. But to do it takes huge resources and top notch writers. That is beyond even Bethesda at this point and even Rockstar comes up short anymore.

open world games are shallow trash
i'd rather have open ended gameplay-centric experiences ala dark souls/bloodborne
or more focused adventures minus handholding
is that so hard
Fucking hate open worlds. They lack any sort of direction and creativity. They just make one big world and fill it with subpar, unmemorable quests, then throw you in it and tell you to do whatever the fuck you want. There's no handcrafted journey or adventure, just a shitty sense that you're on one.
100% agreeing with you OP, the open world genre is crap. It's like the FPS genre of last gen.
>>319366694
They are still in their life. You can start calling foul if things haven't improved by the end of this generation.
I don't have any hope for Bethesda shit, but Rockstar is always reliable and CDProjekt has only been improving with each game. I'm sure every other studio is working on a openworld game of some kind (its the latest fad following in the footsteps of FPS, 3d platformers, jrpg, etc) so something decent might emerge.
>>319366694
>literally
If you're a teenage girl, post nudes.
Else, shut the fuck up.
Depends on the game. Open-world really suited Red Dead. Riding your horse across the dry, empty plains made you feel like a real cowboy.
>>319366694
Sounds like you don't like that genre. Play games from a different genre.

Your opinion isn't objective. It's actually quite shit.
>>319366694
Some games HAVE to be open world though, too bad we never got a game like it again
>fuck you web of shadows sucked
>>319368161
>>319370672
Same fag
>>319371947
>Holy shit people have the same opinions?!!!!!11!
Nope. Refuse to believe.
>>319366694
Eh, I like open world games sometimes, but when I do, I like them a lot. Basically you need to know what you're doing to make a decent one, which doesn't happen often because AAA is trash and open world games are too expensive NOT to be AAA.
>/v/ complains about linear games for years
>massive influx of non linear open world games
>now /v/ bitches about them
There is
No winning with you cunts
