I wish games went with the Gothic 2 route of an open world where you're free to explore and can actually find interesting locations instead of just copypasted bullshit and collectibles
even Morrowind clones would be fine, though that's almost a bit much walking

I still generally like prequels, especially when they explore why the bad guy becomes a bad guy, but they are very overdone these days.

Witcher 3 was good not because but despite its open worlds
All the interesting locations were parts of quests that you got in town anyway, so all exploring got you was bandit camps and smuggler caches

>>345239285
It's not a bad idea but the current conventions for open world aren't very friendly. It usually results in giant pads of land with quests that make you trudge through them for menial tasks at the other end. Personally I prefer hub worlds with a lot of shit to do condensed into one area.

I was jaded to that word when Gears of War 2 was supposedly 'bigger, better, badass" and the third one was 'biggerer, betterer, and badasserer'(Cliffy B actually said this shit)
Gears was actually a decent series though. Battleborn can fuck off.

At least Purple made the game into what it should have been in the first place.
>>345254064
If they wanted to make Purple why couldn't they just create some original content for it? Why did they have to be lazy bastards just rehashing Red and ruining its legacy?
>>345254064
No, they made it into what YOU wanted it to be in the first place. The rest of us were fine with the way it was. All we wanted was a fresh coat of paint, not a fucking palette swap.
