Just mention an open world game with the same system, that's the only thing you need to do. Even if you mention a game or two games I would feel the same thing, "open worlds should try this" Basically every open world that I've played since fallout 3 has the system where you have a quest and the quest shows right there on the map with the exact location. Mention open world games with the same system on breath of the wild and I will say thanks couse I want more of that. |
Off of the top of my head: The Witness doesn't tell you what to do or where to do it ever. It doesn't even have a map of any kind unless you're using the boat. You just have to remember where you've been and where you might have been. There's also games like Myst which like The Witness, don't really feature side quests, but also don't tell the player much of anything and figuring out what to do is the entire game.
All of the Demon's Souls/Dark/Bloodborne games do this, and you just dismissed them as "not open world enough for you". So to the Elder scrolls series to varying degrees, but you've seen to gloss over them because you've only played Skyrim which has the most hand holding and visual cues of the entire series. There's also dozens of point and click games that do that same, but again, I'm sure you wouldn't call them open world. There are the dozens if not hundreds of MMOs like Eve: Online who do this exact thing, but once again I get an itching feeling you won't count those.
Then there's all of those games that have options or gameplay modes that remove/limt all HUD and map elements forcing players to figure things out on their own like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Hitman: Revolution.
I'm not even going to bother to get into more obscure titles.
The point is, this has been done hundreds of different times in dozens of different ways, and this thread just comes off as yet another "look how totally special Breath of the Wild is guys!" thread.
