Interesting thread. I have read most of it. And I find funny how many sandbox games you have played to come to the conclusion that you hate them. I mean, you sure should have liked some things about them, otherwise stick to linear games only.
However, i do think that some glorified sandbox games are not that good. They are no good just because they are open world games. No more heroes is a game with a decent gameplay but it should have been linear. The open world was insulting. Just a trick to make the game last longer.
GTA IV, hated. RDR Loved it. Bully, loved it, San andreas, loved it. Mass Effect 1&2 loved them. Oblivion, hated it first, after a while adored it. Fallout? so far hated it.
Yeah, there are lots of crappy sandbox games. But just as saying that a game is no good because it is too linear, it doesn't make sense to state that a game sucks because is too opened. It depends on the game. Can you imagine Gears of War being a Sandbox game? NO WAY.
A less controversial way to name your thread would be: "I don´t like Sandbox games, so what!", but it was more fun in your way.
