Geez, Just Cause 3 is massive! I'm surprised that The Witcher 3 wasn't higher.

frostypants2589d ago

Witcher 3 kinda mislead people with sub-maps patched together and lots of unplayable area on that world map.

gamerpop2590d ago

I don't remember Fary Cry 4 being especially big... seemed smaller than Fallout 4 to me.

septemberindecember2590d ago

Probably because you can travel faster.

madhouse022590d ago

Who cares how big the game is if there is nothing in it tho? Zelda is a whole lot of empty space...

Nu2590d ago

Skyrim is worse though with that empty space.

Goldby2589d ago

aint got nothign on Just Cause 3 tho.

That shit is emptier than a blonde riding shotgun on a motorcycle

Nu2589d ago

@Goldby lol

mcstorm2590d ago

I think Zelda has a nice mix in the game as it's not just about fighting there are a lot of hidden thing in this world but each to there own

Darkfist_Flames2590d ago

who care about empty space, as long as you can collect seeds man, those lovely 900 seeds, oh and copy and past enemies and shrines.

DanteVFenris6662589d ago

Horizons open world is basically like zeldas but without the shrines and korok seeds. And without always having an interesting landmark to explore in the distance. If their is an interesting landmark it's locked behind a quest.

MASTER_RAIDEN2590d ago (Edited 2590d ago )

I love how zelda is not nearly the largest or emptiest map on this list yet you still single that out.

Kakashi Hatake2590d ago

Exactly, open world in its current form is getting old. That's why I enjoyed Resident Evil 7 as much as I did.

mcstorm2590d ago

I'm not unsure about Res 7 i feel 5 and 6 were a let down and don't want to feel the same about 7 is it better then then two?

Link2DaFutcha2589d ago

Not sure why you got a disagree there @mcstorm, but yeah Res7 is way better than 5 or 6. Really fun game, great mechanics, and super spooky. I had a blast with it, currently going through some of the DLC now, in between zelda and horizon.

DanteVFenris6662589d ago

It really doesn't. Maybe you just can't see all the hidden puzzles in the world 900 korok seeds and 120 shrines.

Also if your a Sony fan I hope you can say the same about horizon where the open world is nothing but empty space with enemies in it. Everything interesting is quest directed. No incentive to explore besides maybe the cauldrons which again are just revealed to you on your map and some even quest directed.

I love horizon but for different reasons than I love Zelda.

C_Ali882589d ago

stfu madhouse02.... You sound bitter.....That game IS NOT empty, always something to do.

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx1d 17h ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

anast23h ago

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl7d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis7d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits7d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast6d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast6d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead6d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
