"Open World" has become studio-speak for "low-effort game design".

@graf @grey @milk I love how dark and moody GTAIII was. It had a certain depressing dankness about it.

@milk The open world gimmick gets old real fast and nobody realizes it because they just end up fast traveling everywhere and looking up where to go on the internetIf you were to remove fast travel from the games people would figure out how awful the average open world is and if you were to take out quest markers normalfags would find the game unbearable

@VidMasterEon @milk I gave up on Dragon's Dogma because 90% of my play time was walking from point A to point B, retreading the same paths fighting the same enemies in the same places etc. Open World games work when the world is full of treasure and you have a incentive to explore.The worst "open world" implementation is the hub areas in Destiny 1 and 2. You have to go through a loading screen and then run about the world in order to access the menu, when you should be able to access those menus from the Director in those games.

@monsterislandcolonizer @milk I have no idea how you would make traveling funThe easiest answer is enemy encounters but stomping trash mobs get old quickly

i actually think Elden Ring was really close to having a good open world, the game's itemization just sucks ass. once you know your "build" there is literally no reason to visit 99% of the dungeons in the game, you just grab the pieces you need and ignore everything else. the game really needed some level of randomization of loot. doesn't need to be full on Diablo autism with 50 stats and sub stats and procs and stuff but it needed SOMETHING to justify exploring all these caves and shits with items you don't need and can't do anything with if it doesn't fit your 'build'. open worlds aren't too bad when there's stuff going on. whenever i replay Bethesda games i'd always have to download mods to add randomized events and spawns and stuff. STALKER felt really fun to play with the right mods because no two spawns of a fresh area were the same, the mods to Bethesda games kind of give it that same feel where it's a living breathing world and not just empty nothingness between the places the game designers actually designed.

@RyokoPilled @milk The ones i enjoyed the most were deus ex's and mankind dividedThe 1st game gives you a bunch of small areas to play around in and MD's prague is so packed with tiny places to explore and find stuff

@VidMasterEon @milk @monsterislandcolonizer probably by not using combatIf you make enough movement systems that traveling around heavy terrain becomes a puzzle in itself, then the whole world would become a large series of gameplay areas, rather than an empty open worldof course, that would require putting in the massive amount of time to actually make whole game-world of content, which studios nowadays certainly can't do. Maybe an indie dev team could attempt it though.

@monsterislandcolonizer @VidMasterEon @milk Lego: Marvel Heroes had some the most fun and versatile open world travel of all the open world games I have seen and played. A B-game from 2013 from a spin-off franchise has better open world design than both AAA-games and indies. That's not good.And like always, open space games (except Starfield) have the best traveling play due to the very nature of space games.

@SuperSnekFriend @graf @grey @milk You can make a decent travel space if you just fill it with enough interesting stuff to DO.Just got back into Saint's Row 2 on PC and there is always something to do if you so choose. Wanna go blow shit up in Mayhem? Do it. Wanna jack an ambulance and drive around with the defibrillators? Do it. Want to just piss off the cops and see how far your souped up vehicle you fixed up at Rim Jobs can get you? Do it.That game was made over 10 years ago and is emblematic of AA janky but fun game design

@monsterislandcolonizer @VidMasterEon @SuperSnekFriend @milk To go on 15k light year journey Eta Carina you have to individually jump from star system to star system with a 60ly range sucking up fuel from main sequence stars along the way and reaching a handful of neutron stars that you can fly your ship into one of the jets to slightly damage it and get a one time 200ly jump to get there after hours of jumping, scanning and sometimes exploring each system you arrive in.Then there's the tedium of having to go to back and forth maybe a 100ly or so carrying ship components with you to upgrade at one of the workshop planets where the risk of getting ganked by some random high level ship is the highest.
