None.
Dark Souls 1
It's better than any open world game, but it's not really open world in the same way as those games.
BotW hands down
>troony Vegas
>troony gear solid 2
>he fell for the meme
>Troonout troony Troongas
Forced meme
I don’t even like fallout, at all, but I can easily tell everything that has been claimed is forced as frick
BoTW=Elden Ring>FNV>TW3>Skyrim
Open world games are shit
All of those games are popular and fun to play so by default nu Ganker hates them.
BotW. If you disagree you don't understand video games.
What a c**t rag
I think Far Cry 3-5 are pretty fun (also 2)
Morrowind
Gta 5 or gta san andreas
go back
the witcher 3 and then new vegas
botw is the only one of those ive finished.
the rest of them felt like chores. granted botw also felt like a chore at times, but it was a chore i wanted to do.
botw is like helping grandma bake cookies, it just sucks you gotta help with the dishes after. those other games are like being forced to clean your room
Top 3 are Elden Ring, Botw, RDR2 in no particular order
death stranding
This but unironically, at least it's kinda required for the game since it wouldnt make sense if the map was small
Open world is such a pointless tacked-on "feature", especially in ER's case
all of them except witcher 3
Shadow of the Colossus, Morrowind and Gothic 2 shit on all of your goyslop.
How much does Witcher 2 save transfer improve the Witcher 3 experience and how much does Witcher 1 save transfer improve the Witcher 2 experience?
None. The devs just didn't care. CDPR life philosophy.
Witcher 2 just doesn't have any of your choices in 1 matter. At all. If you found the most OP gear in Witcher 1, you'll get them at start of 2 but they'll look like garbage and will become useless after 15 minutes of play. And I think Thaler will send you a message if you keep him alive in 1.
Witcher 3 only respects one (1) choice, whether you kill Letho or not. But ultimately you just get one side quest play out a little differently. Thaler will be alive even if he died in your W1 save. I think Roche will comment on whether you sided with him or not but it doesn't really affect anything,
Nothing really matters, honestly. Doesn't matter if you saved the princess instead of Triss. Doesn't matter if you sided with Saskia and Iorveth. Doesn't matter if you cured Foltest's daughter. Nothing.
From what I remember
>W1 to W2
Just gives you better equipment at the start of the game which gets powercrept almost immediately anyway
>W2 to W3
Certain quest in W3 goes very differently if you didn't kill certain character in W2 is biggest change. There're also some small changes like dialogues changing slightly reflecting your choices in W2.
Minecraft
None of those
they're all fine 🙂
what games have fallout 4 society town building?
any non reddit game
fnv's great but its strength isn't really from being an open world game
Rdr2 > Skyrim > Witcher 3
Out of those? BotW.
Of all time? Gothic 2.
FO3 is a better open world game than new vegas
Skyrim has the best open world in that picture, no contest.
Elden Ring is the best game in spite of its open world.
BotW is the worst game in that picture and doesn't do anything well outside of some nifty traversal and physics.
genshin impact>>
else
My top 3 are:
>New Vegas
>RDR1
>Dragon's Dogma
Everything else is trash.
Death Stranding 2 will save open world games.
Whatever you say Kojima-san
sir, you have shit taste
too obvious bait
tendie pedos will call you based and actual people who play video games will call you a moron
This is single most "please tell me I fit in here" post I've ever seen on Ganker. Except it looks like you're trying to fit into reddit instead.
RDR 2 has the most beautiful and immesive OW
GTA:SA has the most complete
Fallout:NV has the best writing
TW:3 has the best lore and overall universe
Just Cause 2.
Skyrim and it's close to NV and BOTW. the rest might as well make a linear game at this point
Skyrim
>Whats the best open-world game?
GTA IV
Fallout 3/NV
Kingdom Come Deliverence
San Andreas
>perfect size, not too big, not too small
>perfect variety, every area feels unique
>perfect acessibility, no giant objects you need to go around, no mazes, no death traps you have to evade 100 times
>perfect setting, feels like real state/county/whatever
>almost every location properly used
meanwhile every single game in OP's picture is full of empty, barren plains and the game suffers from many aspects of their respective worlds
of those 6, in order from best to worst
>New Vegas
>Breath of the Wild
>Wild Hunt
>Elden Ring
>Skyrim
>Red Dead Cutscene and Obnoxiously long miscellaneous animations boring-ass movie-game 2
RDR 2 would have been better as a TV series instead of trying to be a game, prove me wrong. There literally nothing good about it except for it's story and characters. Everything else about it that one could argue as also being good (animations and whatnot) are negatives when it comes to actually being a fun video game. I fricking love it my first time through but I've tried 4 times to do a second playthrough and I just can't do it because of how tedious and monotonous it's """gameplay"""" is.
finding random stuff in RDR2 is the best part and honestly one of the most immersive things in videogames ever but yeah, the game itself sucks, it's just riding on a horse and then hiding behind cover and L2+R2 hundreds of enemies over and over again
You know what, you're right. I take some of it back. The exploration aspect of the game is quite good. But all that could have very easily be repackaged into a better game with much more appealing core gameplay.
It would have been ruined if it was a tv series because it would have been written by a board of New York hacks, middlebrow bullshit to the core but they think they are great, smart writers and are better than they actually are
The assumption is obviously keeping everything story related as is.
Rdr2 > TW3> FNV> BOTW > ESV, haven't played ER. Also, I only actually like rdr2 and tw3.
fallout 3 and red dead 2 has the best atmosphere
mgsv has the best gameplay
does prey's space station count as open world?
Shadow of the colossus, dont @me you know im right
Of the ones in tehre I've played and purely in terms of how good and justified the open world is
skyrim > shouldn't even be open world > elden ring > garbage > botw > dogshit > witcher 3
I'd assume new vegas and rdr2 would be somewhere in between skyrim and botw
I scrolled through my Steam games and ranked all the modern open world stuff in terms of how much I enjoyed them. From most to least:
Arkham City
Dragon's Dogma
Ass Creed Black Flag
Kingdom Come Deliverance
Elden Ring
Arkham Knight
Spider-Man
Ass Creed 2 and Brotherhood
ELEX
Fallout New Vegas
Witcher 3
Far Cry 3
Saints Row 3-4
Skyrim
classic Ass Creed games (3 > Revelations > 1 > Unity)
Nu Ass Creed Odyssey
Shadow of Mordor, War
Sleeping Dogs
Days Gone
Nu Ass Creed Origins > Valhalla
Just Cause 2
Metal Gear Solid V
FNV and Elden Ring are the only open-world games I felt invested in from that list or in general, even if Ganker has developed a rampaging, tribalist hateboner against both of them for years now.
Elden Ring>Xenoblade X>Witcher 3>the rest
Kingdom Come Deliverance for me. One of the only games that felt like it had an organic, contiguous open world that wasn’t just artificially copy-pasted or overly-varied.
Out of that picture I’d say BotW made the most use of its open world. If Fallout 3 was in the picture instead of NV, I’d choose that
>One of the only games that felt like it had an organic, contiguous open world that wasn’t just artificially copy-pasted or overly-varied.
>Out of that picture I’d say BotW made the most use of its open world
These are very contradicting statements.
Well not really, the first is praise for KCD and the second claim is that BotW made the most use of the open-world concept. It had a shitload of copy-pasted stuff like Koroks and Temples but the open world concept actively worked in the game’s favor (whereas I don’t think it matters at all if ER is open world or not).
>but the open world concept actively worked in the game’s favor
I think the exact opposite. Ignoring all the copy paste, I still think it ruined the game a few hours in and that they were so strung up on the freedom aspect, it ruined all purpose and progression and basically just became a walking sim where you have to stop thinking because you know the destination isn't going to be worth the effort.
Well, I can only speak to my feeling that, when I played through the game, one of the few motivating things about BotW was the feeling of exploration and immersion. I didn’t really like the combat or the “dungeons,” but I did love that the world felt big enough that I couldn’t tack everything down immediately, while never feeling totally barren or copy-pasted (with the exception of the desert area, which wasn’t that great). The game seemed to push exploration and poking around the world’s edges seemed a natural thing to do, not one that seemed forced because it was the outskirts on a map.
With Skyrim (which I still think is good, open-world wise) and ER, I think it’s easy to fall into this idea of “look at the map, find the most out-there location, and go see if the devs hid something cool.” Whereas with BotW, it felt that the devs did away with this idea and made everything equally interesting to navigate. The same is true with KCD. I’m not sure if this makes a lot of sense to anyone but me but, yeah, that’s it.
>Whereas with BotW, it felt that the devs did away with this idea and made everything equally interesting to navigate
We might hold opposite views on how well botw executed that, but appreciate you explaining your stance respectfully, it's rare when it comes to botw.
I think skyrim is by far the better open world of the three, but er is the best game. Elden ring managed to fill its world better than any open world I've ever played and had a far stronger art direction, whereas skyrim literally wouldn't be able to work without being open world as its whole shtick is going hard on worldbuilding and immersion and I think people recognizing and trying to capitalize on that potential is why it's by far the most modded game out there.
Though I'll admit I'm biased when it comes to botw since I was a huge zelda fan and don't feel like it's a zelda game and I truly hated it a while after leaving the plateau, I do think it got some things right with its traversal and physics.
Fair enough yeah. The art direction in ER was absolutely fantastic, I agree completely
Elden Ring for gameplay, RD2 for immersion.

Witcher 3 won and it's not close
Why does Genshin never get included in these threads? I don't play it but it mogs all of these pretty hard.
>blocks ur path
1. Witcher - best story + world+immersion
2. New Vegas - Best Rpg of the list
3. Red Dead - Beautiful world and hunting simulation, but it would have been better if it were an rpg, a bit boring otherwise
4. Skyrim - It just has aged badly compared to rest and has a robotic feel to its characters, npcs
5. Elden Ring - well its a souls game so its trash, jerking off to boss fights and ridicolous difficulty is not my taste
6. Zelda - kids game
I'm partial to horizon myself
Open world is trash.
Would be BOTW if it had actual exploration rewards.
But since it doesn’t its Outer Wilds.
>can go anywhere at any time
>can finish the game immediately if you know what to do
>open world IS the game and it would be impossible for it to exist without it
Zelda and RDR2 are the only ones with good openworld
>good open world
>dogshit side content
Pick one
can't you stop polluting /r/gaming garbage, OP?
What makes open worlds good to me are side quests, can't think of a single open world I liked that didn't have good side quests. So for me, NV/Witcher 3 are the best there.
BoTW is closer to Just Cause 2 or MGSV for me. Fun sandbox to frick around in with absolute dogshit side content
