Anyone else feel "bored" of open world concepts? I LOVE the genre, it's just I've been wondering, there aren't many things in the world itself that "wow" me. But I mean, what is there left? Even if you create your own original landscapes, like in Xenoblade Chronicles (the first one), there's not much to draw ideas from? Am I wrong? Please give me some solutions to this problem, landscapes being too similar to Earth and to each other.
That's why open outer space is the future

It sucks Mass Effect failed at that opportunity. At least Space Sims are coming back online.

But space ends up same-y, too.

Waypoints. Instead of learning the world and becoming apart of it, you have a nice little gps that you stare at to do fetch quests.
You grew up
You realized most open world games are rather shallow experiences just for fucking around

Not when you have different planets/cities/space stations to explore.

Yes because in the end they leave you with nothing to do but wander around with repetitive auto generated quests and bad ai that doesn't acknowledge your actions in any way.
Open world could be good but the technogoly is lacking at the moment.

This isn't what I'm talking about. While I do agree with you, what concerns me most is that every open world will feel the same when they have a desert, tundra, coast, mountain range, volcano, whatever else Earth has. I want to know how people will create new, imaginative landscapes.

They take too many resources from the rest of the game most of the time, too. Many times the game world just ends up feeling empty. Like you said, the possibilities are there, but the technology isn't.
WOW "op" are you (sic) "autistic" or SOMETHING?

Why not just release it on two discs and keep the resources that way?
Easy, really. First, you create your own personal universe inside a jar, with its own physics and logic separate from ours. You wait for a planet to form life and then you stick that in your game.

It's a feature, not a genre. i.e., Burnout Paradise is a racing game that features an open world.

Are you being sarcastic or not? If you aren't, could you explain a little more what you mean?
>>319491026
Lol
>>319490206
This.

? What's so funny?
>>319490206
The tech isnt lacking.
Just that "repetitive auto generated quests and bad ai that doesn't acknowledge your actions in any way" are exactly the thing they want to make. well, outside the "ai" part. Open world nowaday are mmo simulator, designed to feed the audience till the next full release. Rockstar care more about gtao than gtav should tell you something.
If you give the concept and budget to someone with interest and experience in the crpg genres, you might have better open world but only 1/10 the scale of current aaa "open werld". And that's if their autism doesn kick in and they run out of budget.
