A good game with a big world is better than a good game with a small world so I'll go big world.

That's not necessarily true.
A game quality may be completely derived from its presentation, and a small world might actually work better than a big world for some games, not to say if the world ends up being too big it may actually start making the game be annoying and tedious even if it's great, it can start to take too long and make your interest drop.

It really depends on the game and how it's presented, there is no better or worse by default, there is how a game makes use of it.

exactly what happend to witcher 3 imo. Great story, graphics, gameplay and co...but the world was to big and got to boring.

I dont care to help any random npcs in any random village if there are 39 other villages with 100 other people that want pretty much the same.

A great game with an great world size wouldnt even need fast travel imo. Witcher 3 does of corse.
