    I will do the same as with GTA V:

    • Play the whole story
    • Do side-content till I’m bored
    • Fuck around trying to go as fast as possible around the whole city.

    I am a simple man, I just want to have a big city to run around.

      We finally found him! John Openworld! The core reason why game devs keep making every game into an open world!

      I have a question I always wanted to ask. Is it more important for the world to be deep or wide? More side content or more to navigate?

        I do prefer content to be distributed in central hubs with fast transportation between them. I don’t like fast travel, I want to be the one moving. I want to play the first spiderman game because of that.

        If you want a deep world, you should use the dark souls formula using branching paths with a defined beginning and ending.

        Open world is for 3 good missions in each central location and 100 fetch quest I will not do

            Haven’t played any of them yet but I would like to. It would depend on what you can do in those areas. If it is like for example assassins creed without traversal between cities I would enjoy it.

                I didn’t, my pending games list is extensive and you are matching every one. Currently I am playing Nier Automata, after that I will play Mirror’s Edge because I understand it is a relatively short game

                  Ah gotcha. How are you liking Nier so far? It’s more of a spectical fighter than an open world traversal game.

                    I have gotten to the Forest Zone. The combat is pretty good, I like the combos and parry mechanics (even though sometimes I just mash dash to avoid attacks).

                    I also like the traversal style with the changing cameras switching from 2D to 3D. For now, the world is small enough that I could avoid fast travel and do multiple missions while going from one to another.

                    The drone is something I find superfluous, sometimes I forget shooting with it. Maybe with keyboard it is different.
