I hope not, all "Open World" games are repetitive and boring.
The best thing about Zelda being "linear", is that it serves the gameplay and the storytelling, instead of just serving the "freedom" of the player.

Open world games are good for sandbox games like GTA or Just Cause, because the main thing to do is go around and have fun wrecking stuff. But for games like AC, Far Cry, the Arkham Series, etc etc, it gets really old really quick.
That is the difference between Arkham Asylum, a perfect game, and the rest of the series, which is really not as good.
Games needs to be kept to the point, tight gameplay, tight story, no filler, no boring side quests.

Your comment become a joke when you said Arkham Asylum is better than Arkham City. 

 

But hey, that's like your opinion man. 

 

AC has some amazing open world games with the masterpiece AC2, also Black Flag and Brotherhood. Far Cry 3 and 4 were amazing games. 

 

None of those 3 series got old to me (and almost all that played then) 

 

Sorry but you're in the minority when you say that. Nothing wrong with disliking open world games. They're just not your thing. 

 

But try not to speak on behalf on the majority of gamers. 

I like open world, but I have to agree that Batman:AA was better than B:AC.  I like them both in different ways, but AA is just a tighter experience and captures the classic Batman "feel" better.  AC made lots of advancements, but at some sacrifice of execution.  Regardless, the opinion is not a "joke" to say it's better, that's for sure.
