This year has seen a fair number of open world games, how do you feel about them?

The concept is great, but just because your world is big doesn't mean there's going to be a lot of stuff to do in it. If you're going to make an open-world then make it because it has to be open-world for your story or you are going to put a lot of detail and things to do with it, otherwise, you;re just doing it because of the hell of it.
