Stop Filling Your Open World Games With Filler Content

OnlySP: Can a game really have too much content? Yes, and it’s a serious problem. Filler content is harmful.

madmonkey013095d ago

could be like mgs5 and not fill the open world with any content.

Aloy-Boyfriend3095d ago (Edited 3095d ago )

151 side ops which consist of the same set of missions. That's a lot of filler content actually. I can't bring myself to finish them all. It's tiring!

Witcher 3's open world and content went along perfectly. Everything had a story and a purpose: Witcher contracts, Treasure hunting, side quest each very different from the other, and some miscellaneous stuff. I can't express enough how amazing this game is and it's rich and dynamic world

Filler content is not good. It doesn't justify paying $60 just because the length is over 20 hrs of playtime. Not for me at least! Quality > Quantity.

Please devs Understand!

You're preaching to the choir my fellow gamer. Cheers!

The Witcher is on a different league. It is the only actual Next Gen game in every possible way. Oh that bittersweet story.

Summons753094d ago

Sooooo the side ops didn't exist? News to me, what did I do for 70 hours then?

WeAreLegion3094d ago

I really enjoyed the "filler content" of Mad Max.

BushLitter3094d ago

I think there is way too much side stuff in Mad Max

TeamLeaptrade3094d ago

Yeah a lot of games have way too much filler content. I don't mind missions that are similar as long as it's not repeated a ton. Just make all of the missions different and fun.

Roccetarius3094d ago

Most of the content in these games are purely padding. It usually comes with stretching content too thin as well, which is what the main game of Witcher 3 suffered from.

It's more important to crank the amount of hours up these days, instead of quality.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein17d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers16d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long16d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius15d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius15d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

I had a blast with a Bugs Bunny game on PS1 as a kid. It is probably trash now but at the time, it was awesome.

"50 Cent: Blood in the sand"

Ps3 scored 6/10 all round loads of review sites but was so much fun while not a technical masterpiece in any way has a worthwhile engaging story and script and of course an unbeatable soundtrack.

Honorable mention to Drive Clubs Ferrari Fxx-K. Should be there over Horizon.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

Gardenia475d ago

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim475d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno475d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
