| SpartanFX said: I mean they are horrible.you walk around ,drive around,ride horse around for many hours to get to a point and even when you get to the point they give a boring mission. the whole thing is very unispired and almost empty.(not that the worlds are not busy,,,cause trust me they are busy)
let's see what games i played to get to this point: GTA4 assasin's creed 1 and 2 Infamous Far cry 2 Red dead redepmtion mafia 2 etc
all boring and repetitive after a while.
what in the wolrd do you people like about open worlds?to me it is very over rated.
not to mention that the graphical hit(worse graphics due to rendring big parts of city) is the icing on the cake.
i feel like something is wrong with me.Every reviewer loves sand box games and yet when i hear the game is sand box it is a big negative in my book.
in linear games they throw many exilirating set pieces at you so you are constantly entertained . not the same case in open world games. |
I completely agree most popular sand-box games of this generation are highly overrated. I wouldn't call the genre "boring", since that's subjetive and depends on particular tastes.
However, looking at your list I can tell you my own score to some of the games I've played and finished:
GTA4 (highest rated game this gen, probably ever) I won't even bother talking about this thing. Suffice to say it's the worst GTA of them all. In my book: 6/10
Assassin's Creed 1 (it had some mixed reviews, but still not as harshly critiqued as it deserved ) The worst time I have spent with a game this gen. Just terrible, but still it had a couple of good points. 5/10
Infamous. This one was actually enjoyable once you get awesome super powers, and at the end it was quite dramatic. It was not lengthy so that saved it from becoming too tedious, although I wouldn't go through it again . 7/10
Red dead redemption.The so-called game of the year 2010. Same as GTA, same flaws, except the story was a little better and there wasn't any awful driving and the scenery was superb. Still, it left me cold at the end. 7/10
