I was like, wow this looks cool.

Then I realised it was procedural generation. Can games please stop doing this? I want a designed world to explore, not a random one. Example: Binding of Isaac has EVERYTHING I would want in a Zelda game except a single designed world.

How is that a negative? You play Zelda once, you know the map. You play Isaac, Minecraft, Torchlight, and you get a slightly different expereince everytime.

A single, intensively designed world to explore is very important to why I play games.

But it just doesn't make sense for some games. Going back to your example: The Binding of Isaac. It wouldn't be nearly as good if the dungeon and room layouts were the same through every playthrough.

I don't play those games, then. I'm not saying it should be like that, I'm saying that there's not enough 'indie' games that do single worlds and an abundance of procedural generation ones.

And I would prefer Binding of Isaac to have a single layout. I would buy it if it did. So I have to disagree.

Really? One of the points of the game is to explore the dungeons and find item rooms, shops, secret rooms, etc. If those were always in the same spot, then...
