dwarf fortress.

or maybe

is correct

>>341456302

My favorites are Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Fallout: New Vegas and Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl.

Fallout 1 and 2 are awesome too.

>>341457394
Good taste

Fallout 1/2 is not open world. Being able to go to any location at any point in time is not enough to qualify it as such. You also need to be able to freely travel between them and not with fast travel

Oh wait even nu-Fallouts require you to explore the world before you can fasttravel

You get the locations of the places you need to go to. And you don't travel with your character there, you just click on a map and a cross moves around.

Nice projection too - I hate bethout.

Gothic 2: density over size. The world itself isn't big, but packed to the brim with content, its hard to take 2 steps without stumbling upon some secret cave, den of bandits, valuable loot, random NPC that gives you a chain of quests etc. The game has no invisible walls, but naturally nudges you in the right direction by placing stronger monsters in places you probably shouldn't visit. Nobody stops you from trying though, in fact second chapter is all about passing the area with monsters far above your level. Also, a very high degree of verticality, there are mountains and you can climb them

Space Rangers 1/2: basically, a perfect simulation. Every character has agenda and goals, world is at war and it fuels economic and scientific changes, new stations are being built and destroyed over time, all of that is unscripted and sometimes happens on the other side of the galaxy from the player


Open world games that are JUST HUGE can fuck off
>>
>>341456302
It's easily Grand Theft Auto 5
That world had some much work put into it to that it's amazing.

Not true either, open world does not imply seamless travel, only that it has a great detail of basically unimportant surroundings to what are the primary points of interest of the game, meaning that even if it has multiple large maps it is still open world.

Space Rangers 1-2 are literally powered by magic. The base game was programmed by a couple of guys working pretty much for free back in 2001-2002 and it still more alive than any open world game i can think of.

Gothic 2

>>341456302
Fallout: New Vegas (with all DLC + mods) and Fallout 2 are tied at the very top. Fallout 4 has great art direction and a tantalizing world, but falls short because of the lack of RPG mechanics, quantity of interesting quests and side-quests, and general buffoonery that messed up an otherwise inviting open world.

Pic unrelated obviously OP?


Fallout 1-4 have a boring as fuck open world.

No Z levels it's shit

swg because I played it when it released, I could try to explain, but you wouldn't believe me anyway

What are the best open world games for explorinng new things and places? I'm looking for something with a wide variety of unique assets, not necessarily the largest world.
It always irked me when devs would brag about how huge their open world was but in the end its just the same handful of assets shuffled into different positions over and over (Draugr caves in Skyrim)

>>341463120
>Fallout: New Vegas (with all DLC + mods) and Fallout 2 are tied at the very top.

seconding this

picking fallout is kind of a meme answer but new vegas is leagues ahead of any other open world game i've played, it just gets a bad rep because of shit that only came as a result of a rushed development period and working with bethesda's meme engine

imo fonv doesn't even need mods to be considered the top, and dlc is just icing on the cake
>>
>>341457394
Has the gameplay matured since last year yet? When I last followed the experimental versions all that was added were more and more random items
>>
>>341463608
Z levels were recently added m8
>>
>>341464161
if you try the nehrim mod for oblivion it has more unique assets to give the world more of a hand made feel, than the total kit based based approach betheseda use to populate their worlds.
>>
>>
>>341464465
also gta5 have probably spent the most in terms of development budget on creating unique art assets in hard numbers, but it's about as interesting to explore as google maps
>>
>>341456302
Open world game as a whole? A gta, maybe Vice city, or maybe something like minecraft.
My personal favorite for an open world level is still Chernarus though.
>>
Morrowind or New Vegas.
