the constant bitching about this being a linear game doesnt make much sense. why on earth is an open world game better than a linear one by default? we have so many open world games out and coming out its not even funny. watch dogs, dead rising, destiny, witcher, dying light, dead island, AC4, AC Unity, AC Rogue, the division, MGS5, sunset over drive, infamous, farcry, the crew, FH2 and a lot, lot more. why on earth does every game need to be open world?

People don't care about quality, they only care about replayability.

I however buy a game as long as I consider it to be of high quality. In fact I think linear games are generally better than open-world games.

In most cases, a quality game does have some type of replayability

 

Iike i personally wouldn't immediately play a Final Fantasy game again right after i've beat it. I would have to give it some time. As long as i can EVENTUALLY go back to a game, it has replay value.

 

Actually, i can't even really think of a a game i thought was good that didn't have some type of replay value.

If you consider playing through games a second or third time as replayability then yeah quality linear games are highly replayable. I did that with all GOW games.

But for most people replayabilty means having so much content that they aren't done playing through all that the game has to offer. So that is the reason why linear games do not sell well anymore if they don't have a multiplayer mode as well.
