What is the gayest new videogame trend and why is it open-world?
>>319913759
I guess I am just a dick-sucking faggot and all around lover of cocks.
Open world is the best.
>>319913759
Overblown budgets and milking old franchises.
Also open world is not new.
>>319914065
It's only just recently it's been forced into games that would have honestly been better off with a more focused, linear map, because, muh open world, I guess.
>>319913975
Will you care to explain why are closed-world games better? Because apparently I love to suck me some dick
That ain't a bad trend. Tho I suppose it might become one if publishers start shoving it in every game.
The gayest new trend is pronouns.
>>319914238
A lot of games would benefit from some control over the direction and pacing of the story and gameplay/difficulty, aspects that open world can end up sacrificing
>>319913759
I sort of agree. But TW3 had a pretty good open world.
The gayest new video game trend would probably be putting toke gay characters into everything.
You guys are going to call me tumblr/reddit/sjw/whatever but using "gay" as a synonym for stupid just makes you look like an underaged imbecile.
Gggg

Closed-world games are more detailed and less boring travelling. There is no point to having a big massive world if there is nothing to do in it and it's basically just scenery รก la La Noire.
>>319913759
No, it's early access survival you double nigger.
>>319913759
>open world
>new trend
wew lad, what's it like living in twenty ee lev en
>>319913759
>open world has only recently become a thing
I love this meme.
>>319914446
are you sure?
>>319914238
You might want to re-read my post.
To be honest. I grew up on open world games and find linear game play restrictive.
>>319914675
>>319914682
Maybe I should specify: it's FORCING open-world in games where they would benefit from not having it.
>>319914551
Fucking this.
>hear about game
>hear about its crafting
>hear about its awesome setting
>hear about its RPG elements
>look it up
>its an early access survival greenlight bullshit
You can count how many of these games actually get finished on one hand.
>>319914783
Such a thing doesn't exist. All games benefit, except for rail shooters and sports games obviously.
>>319914783
forcing? more like because developers want to have it, but the problem is they're bad at it and just make it big empty places with nothing to do and are only making games open world to cash in on the buzzword
the witcher 3 however does open world right
>>319913759
>new
Where have you been the last 5-10 years?
>>319915145
>only 5-10 years
It's hardly new.
>>319914551
This. Open world isn't even new, good job convincing me you only just started playing video games in the last few years.
>>319913759
i thought that turning everything into a COD first person shooter clone was the worst era in video gaymes
>>319915197
That's right. It's been a thing for much longer but was never the big new trend that everyone and their mother was going for. Now there are loads of them each year. But the real offender is what this anon pointed out. >>319914551
>>319913759
Why can't we fucking have a open-world game about building, fighting over land, resources etc. The devs just need to make a decent system, the players will take care of the rest. There literally has to be no story whatsoever.
>>319915440
literally this. Its actually one thing almost all MMO fans clamor for.
>almost every AAA game realesed this year was open world
whe will this shit die bros?
>>319915440
>I want to play Minecraft
Alright, kid. I'm sure there's a subreddit you can go and talk about it in.
>>319915635
That's exactly what I mean with the point of this thread, but I guess you can always count on the /v/irgin autists of 4chan to misinterpret
>>319913759
open world is a disguise. its where you hide how shallow your game is, pad the length dozens of hours, and seperate each event enough that it hides how bad each element of the game is but you're just glad at the moment to actually encounter a gameplay element that you don't mind after all the trekking around
>>319914551
This guy gets it.
Also games with no mechanics and the excuse that they're "story-driven". I don't care if you enjoy telltale, they're part of it. An advantage of games is that you get to convey feelings through gameplay.
>>319915775
Make a better thread next time, faggot.
why did they go directly to open world instead of opting for open level? smaller but still big enough levels with multiple gameplay approaches and decent amount of detail. both mgsv and w3 would benefit from that.
>>319914493
You're being really gay, Anon.
>>319913759
>What is the gayest new videogame trend
Gayest?
Probably Gay Romances.
Developers are trying open world when they're not ready for it.
>>319916146
Because for some fucking retarded reason, people want to run across miles and miles of generic terrain in games that don't benefit from it.

Open world killed Metal Gear. I wish the meme would die already.
>>319916146
MGSV' suffered more from the storytelling. I'ts game play was fine.
The SJW stuff is getting blatantly dumb these days.
>>319913759
>why is it open-world?
Because it allows you to give the illusion of your game being better because it has more content when in reality 90% of it is shitty.
Duh
>>319916656
Gameplay was fine, but the environments were awful. It really should have more indoor sections where you could infiltrate large mansions like the one in Africa, but they only put one in game, and the rest was empty, boring, "open world", with some shitty villages and copy pasted outposts. But OP is completely wrong, and a faggot, Witcher 3 did open world right.
>>319915769
Not even close.
