Daily reminder that open world is a meme. Anytime a classically linear game series go open world, it ends up shit.
>>334543549
Depends, an open world game can still be linear, but it gives you the ilusion that it's open world.
>>334543549
Trying to recall linear game series going open world, but can't, help me out
>>334544081
MGS
>>334544081
witcher 3
>>334544081
Burnout. Burnout Paradise is such a turd compared to Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge. Unless you play multiplayer, but multi got old after a week.
Mirrors Edge (don't know how that'll turn out).
Tony Hawk. Once one huge map replaced smaller maps or levels, the series went to shit immediately.
MGS V could've arguably been broken up into levels or areas. The area size did allow for a lot of infiltration and ex filtration methods, but you could still have a large enough area to do that without making the game open world.
Mario
>>334544405
i dont know if that really counts, since it wasn't "classically" linear. witcher 1 was linear, 2 had the illusion of being open world, and 3 went full open world didnt it? havent played it
id say MGS is a perfect example, absolutely no need for an open world MGS like V
>>334544489
>but you could still have a large enough area to do that without making the game open world.
IGI comes to mind
>>334544625
Witcher 2 has a lot more in common with Deus Ex when it comes to game space than any open world game, I'd say.

>Burnout Paradise was bad
i love this dank meme
>>334543549
Define meme.
>Game goes from being open world to linear
>It fucking sucks as a result
>>334544740
>Imouto Paradise was bad
>>334543549
That pizza is cooked, whoever locked it was intelligent enough to keep people away from their cooked food.
>>334544740
Having to drive to fucking stop lights to start events, going to garages to change your car, any menu shortcuts meant a fuck ton of load times. If you want to do a bunch of races, it was a pain in the ass to do so.
Also, no real Crash mode/levels. You know, the secondary type of mode in Burnout in the past that was fun as fuck.
Burnout Paradise is an okay racer, but did nothing for the Burnout series besides faggy mulitplayer.
>>334544716
right, i actually prefer that type of game space over an open world. every area feels different and well thought out.
Final Fantasy went from open to linear to open again.
Strange
>>334544740
It wasn't horrible, but it was a huge step down from Revenge.
>>334543549
Just what do you mean by open world OP?
If you mean shit like you ubisoft games then yes it sucks.
But a lot good classic games like Zelda Or Castlevania are 'open world' in the sense of nonlinear map design, do they suck now?
Metroid says Fuck You.
Mario says Fuck You.
>MUH SANDBOXES
And with proper warps for the casuals, if Super Mario Sunshine had gone true open world, it'd have said Fuck You, too.
>>334544915
game was originally linear thoigh
>>334545773
is it really open world or is it like da3?
>tfw enjoy linear games alot more than open world games
>>334546337
Open world to me means GTA3 designed games. Go to a labeled marker on the map, start a linear mission in the open world, complete it, get reward, rinse and repeat.
OoT is like A Link to the Past but in 3D.
>>334547362
>the best mod-ability of any games ever released
i fucking hate bethdrones
>>334547231
When people say they hate 'open world games' I think what they really mean is I hate games that are GTA/Creed style games.
Is Marie 64 open world isn't?
>>334548710
>hub world is the same as open world
>>334547543
not a beth drone, but what game you think has the best mod-ability^?
STOP PIZZA BULLYING
>>334548864
So, even the PS2 GTAs games broke the games map up into discreet separated sections.
>>334543549
what is the point of having a giant toilet bowl when you don't have enough shit to fill it with?
Imagine seeing someone securing their pizza with a bike lock and then taking a picture of it
What would even go through your mind
>>334544081
Fallout. Look at what it did to random encounters. Also Fast Travel ruined the whole experience.
>>334549512
>Hey, this would be funny
There, that's literally it.
Not that complicated
>tfw enjoy both linear and open world games
All of you are faggots, someone had to say it.
>>334549580
>i see it all the time faggot
>>334545773
>Q: So why did you make it open world?
>A: Because there would be people wondering why it's not
>>334549514
Fallout wasn't linear.
>>334544696
My Mum's boyfriend bought me that game.
>Here you go Anon I bought this for you I really like it
It wouldn't install so I gave it back to him
When he left I told my Mum to make sure he never buys me games again.
>>334549512
I guess a black guy would go >white people.
If the guy is white, that is. After that he just goes and steal it like a normal bike.
Need for speed: most wanted was fucking awesome and a really good need for speed installment, especially for 2005. It wasnt the best racing game on ps2, but the open world aspect made it fun.
>>334543549
If it wasn't on the ground I'd want to eat that pizza. Looks pretty good aside from the whole "being on the ground" thing.

First things first man, gotta get the paper bag. That's one bad case of butterface right there.
>>334543549
what typically happens with open world games:
- graphics downgrade
- framerate issues
- generic combat
- tons of cut content
- AI with pathfinding issues
- ridiculous amount of bugs
- awful filler content
- large empty spaces
the list can go on and on. i would rather have tiny areas crammed with content than games that waste my time with little to no payoff
>>334543549
Good luck, pizzers.
>>334544696
That game was fantastic.
>>334550397
shit nigga can't smash da soudane button no more s.mh
>>334550696
I wonder if people are going to look back upon today's "open world" games in the same way we look back upon the 5th gen's graphics and emergent 3D game design.
>>334550935
>"hey remember all those good games we played as kids?"
>"let's totally not do that and torture the player with each agonizing step they take until they are completely bored out of their minds"
>"then once they are completely braindead, we can sell them DLC that they can easily make themselves with a tool that we will only release after all the DLCs have been out"
>>334550696
>>334550935
None of those are inherent to open well-designed but. With the exception of open space and what the hell is wrong with given the player room?
I'm hopeful the new Deus Ex game will be 'open world' done right with the city of Prague. I enjoyed exploring those massive maps like Hong Kong in the original.
>>334549514
It was never linear to begin with.
>Fast Travel ruined the whole experience.
kill yourself
>>334549963
holy shit sauce
>>334551474
traveling around the world map in the original games was better than always being able to see what is ahead of you and just preparing for it
i want to be caught off-guard and have a real challenge.

XBX (open world) is a big improvement over Xenoblade Wii (linear). The combat system and quest board work perfectly for the open world style. There's a variety of low and high levels in each continent to grind. Leaving the city with your flying mech to do what you want or to reach your next mission feel so good. Because of this, XBX have a better post game and feel less like a chore to play.
I only like fake open-world. The kind that kind of pretends it's Open World, but it isn't. It's just really big linear levels with multiple approaches.
Deus Ex. Bloodlines. S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Witcher 1 and 2.
When it becomes actual real open world, it becomes, without fail, boring.
the longer a series goes on for the higher chance a mech suit will be introduced
IM LOOKIN AT YOU KIRBY
>>334552953
On the most literal of levels, this stands to reason. There's only so many ideas you can exhaust before you get to mechs.
EVERYTHING IS A MEME
