Four Amazing Open-World Maps in Not-So-Amazing Open-World Action Games

Sometimes an interesting setting and high quality of open-world map aren't matched by the rest of the game. Here are four open-worlds that didn't get the games they deserved

Got AC Unity for free when Notredame burned. Story never compelled me to finish it but man I played it two or three times because of the city and the fluid parkour

PrimeVinister1146d ago

Once it was largely bug-free the environment was really easy to appreciate. And the old-AC-style parkour was at its peak here and in Syndicate.

AC Unity looks amazing. I kind of see it as the last AC game where Ubisoft had big ambitions. Too bad it was riddled with bugs, MTs and a generic story. I doubt we'll see a AC game looking as good and having as much details in animations and the open world as AC Unity did.

PrimeVinister1146d ago

The density of environment and detail in tandem with the huge crowds (when they eventually worked) was very ambitious and I think you are right in saying they haven't been as ambitious since.

Best co-op AC missions

PrimeVinister1146d ago

@yay111 haha, I had forgotten about them. Yeah, I enjoyed it but didn't get into the co-op thread enough to play it regularly

The Getaway and Sleeping Dogs

Both had well designed worlds but you had so little fun in the mix

PrimeVinister1146d ago

I felt Sleeping Dogs was too good for the list. While it wasn't amazing, it was definitely a decent stab at it considering it was passed around teams before release

annoyedgamer1146d ago

Sleeping Dogs is actually good though...

TheColbertinator1146d ago

Don't get me wrong. I love both games but they had certain flaws

SierraGuy1145d ago

Open world has killed gaming.

Everything feels like a walking simulator...fun stuff.

AndrewM1145d ago

Hahaha, then don't play them.

I sort if disagree with The Getaway. Playing it all those years ago, it had a dodgy control system, more so vehicles, was slow and was graphically unfinished. The sequel was even worse and the third game on PS3 was canned. I think Sony should take both games and merge them into one (as with the soon to be released Max Payne 1 and 2). Weird how Sony messed up The Getaway never to be seen again.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

The Getaway: They Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore

Over twenty years have swept by, but barely any other gangster shooter is as dark and exacting as The Getaway.

I loved the first one sooo mu h, would love a new game or even a remake would awesome tbh.

Bring it back Sony!!!

chrisx363d ago (Edited 363d ago )

Mark Hammond. What a great game. It was much better than part 2. This game defined what true next gen was to me back in that generation, it's definitely due for a remake.

ModsDoBetter363d ago

Excellent game, Black Monday wasn’t too good but the first one was amazing. The way the waypoint system worked with car indicators and the healing mechanic leaning against the wall. Loved it.

banger88362d ago

This game looked so good back in the day. Still holds up well even now. Could you imagine what a PS5 remake would look like?
