Im sorry for the words that Im going to use here, but the industry isnt a dick measuring contest.
Just because one game manages to become the largest game in the history, it dosent mean(I actually cant believe I need to say this) that the games to come needs to be bigger to be considered better.Thats a stupid idea to say the least.There are many games that are small and contained that are infinitely better than open worlds games, and vice versa.Thats the actual beauty of this industry:There are flavors and sizes for everyone, and they all come with its own quality.
So short answer to your question:No.Nowhere near actually.There will be plenty of people like me that actually dont like this gigantic size and total lack of story.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
