Not a good open world.
>>736914374Why?
>>736914374What's a good open world in your opinion
>>736914450None. It’s a shit level design gimmick designed for goyim.
>>736914374empty world more like it
>>736914374I think it's a good open world. shitty story but a good world.
>>736914374but i like it
>>736914374If it is a map with edges that have ending , it is not an open world.
having jrrrrr Martin ruin the stroy was the worst part. that fat fuck can't write his way out of diabetes
>>736914657Go play linear games
>>736914965I don't think you understand the concept of open world
>>736914965
>>736914657let me guess you play online gaas games
>>736914374It's good for a first playthrough and that's all it needs to be.
Correct, Its a perfect open world
>>736914965our planet earth is contained in a globe. it may not have edges but it's a world.
I thought it was a pretty good open world. Needed just a tad more ways to get to areas in any order, and Liurnia sucked, but other than that I liked it.
>>736914965>real world isn't an open world because it's contained in a single planetcrazy
>>736914374It's ultimately one very fancy line toward the end.
post your drip
>>736914374Open world can't be good.
>people start complaining about videogames being bloated to the bone and plagued by empty open worlds and repetitive content, citing those as the reason for Ubislop's failures>japanese franchise switches from linear corridors to empty open world and copypasted dungeons>it's hailed as one of the best games ever made and becomes a huge hit + a cultural phenomenonhow the fuck do you explain this shit
it's no different than the real world. you still need keys (passports) to travel to new places
Exploring the Lands Between for the first time was like being a kid again discovering Hyrule
someone tell japan and poland that open world is not a bunch of hallways
>>736914374Not an open world if its handheld where you can go in a linear fashion; Its just Pokémon Emerald tier "open world." If the routes are blocked and unlocked in Castlevania style exploration format.
>>736915361nobody cares about the tombs
you want a good open world where you can go anywhere and get your shit kicked in? the play the Gothic games
>>736915389I like Garlic Bread.
>>736915361We've flipped15 years ago all anyone would complain about is how linear games were with zero exploration
>>736915389can I have bread dipped in garlic butter?
>>736915293Not mine but my favorite.
>>736914374I hated Elden Ring but the world was great. The fuck you talking about?
>>736915361The open world isn't empty, and the dungeons aren't copypasted.
>>736915520xavier renegade angel nice
>>736915520fuck yeah
>>736915489Eurojank slopPeople literally only praise gothic ironically or are bandwagining because sseth made a vide, nobody actually likes gothic except for 45 year old german crossdressers
>>736915583I bought the games on release
>>736915489*(also Dark Souls II: SOTFS)
>>736914374Too linear. The player is forced along a certain route.
>>736915634dark souls 2 is too easy for me. it's a good game, but my least favorite in the franchise
>>736915612Hello Helmutt, stop trying on your mother's dresses
>semi open world (bioshock/system shock) > Linear (half life)>>>(powergap)>>>>openworldSo many games would go from 6/10 to an 8/10 if they were not open world
>>736915361Am I the only one that enjoys ubisofts open worlds? The AC renditions of ancient cities are well crafted and FC5 had a good depiction of MontanaRPG Level restrictions on zones blocked by grind are the real problem, not the open world imo
>>736915430they're the core part of the game like it or not>>736915401>RDR2 is not open world because you don't unlock the map until chapter 2>GTA V is not open world because you don't unlock the map until after the prologueCastlevania format = going in a single direction up until you unlock a different path btw.>>736915537It's mostly empty save for the overworld fights (boat guy, dragons and the horseback night guy) and caravans and the dungeons mostly play out in the exact same way, very few of them have puzzles or invisible walls.. about 5-6 of them in the base game I reckon.
>>736915727they're not a core part of the game. they just have good gear
>>736915702lol wut?
>>736915727name one tomb you need to complete to beat the game
>>736915750Dude, dungeons make up for 99010102728047% of the game. If that isn't a core part for you, I don't know what is.
>>736914374You seen this?
>>736915838tombs and dungeons are way different on elden ring
>>736915848Acts 7:43 KJVYea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
>>736915838>>736915867tombs are generic spots to farm for gear. you litterly don't have to enter a single tomb to beat the game
>>736914657then start the thread as "open world games are shit" instead you obnoxious disingenuous rancid tranny nigger
>>736915848My favourite schizo is back yay!
>>736914374More like bloated world. I wouldn't even mind Elden Ring so much if it didn't have so much inflated content without substance.
>>736915848post the underground map now
>>736915909You need to do the secret black knife boss in one of them for ranni's quest IIRC
>>736915971it would have been a lot better if jrr diabetes Martin didn't write conveluted bullshit story lines
>>736915537Why lie?
>>736914374Why's it called the lands between? Between what?
>>736915984I finished all of her quests. like I said you don't need to do them to beat the game. there are a lot of endings
>>736916037my balls
>>736916037Because you spend most of your time riding through the lands between the actual content.
>>736915937
>>736914374how wide did margit gape your bussy
>>736916030They aren'tThey use similar assets but each one has a unique layoutSo i ask shazam, why do YOU lie?
>>736915972Don't rightly know what map, haven't finished the game.
>>736915007>open worlds your linear game in your path
>>736916165damn you're not even half way through the game
>>736916037because you leave it for dark souls 2, just like things betwixt.
>>736916152I played the game nigga.The open world is unrewarding and 9/10 of the hidden nooks and crannies had no reward and the other 1/10 is like a rowa fruit or something.The open world is just there to waste your time and bload the TTB (time to beat).I dropped it after Academy of Raya Lucaria, because I knew it would be another 10-20 hours of open world slop, until the next piece of content (legacy dungeon) of similar quality.
>>736916165have you beat Starscourge Radahn yet?
>>736915007Open world games just need to go back to more content dense and meaningful map design.
>>736915867>>736915909There's more than 50 'tombs' (dungeons) in the base game, they house 1/3 of the bosses and many of the valuable items, summon upgrades etc. Them being optional doesn't cut it, they're the main source of your runes and upgrade stones early on, only a speedrun maniac thinks otherwise.They aren't bad, but it makes me wonder how people excuse chalice dungeons V2 while piling on other open worlds for boring Far Cry outposts. Enter, (sometimes) find the lever, kill the guy, open a chest, repeat. 50 times.
>>736916361there is hidden weapons, armor, and items all over the place. you're retarded
>>736916234>>736916410Dropped it after Stormveil Castle. That was the most Dark Souls experience I got from it, everything else felt empty.
>>736916484Well you don't understand not everyone wasn't sprint towards the final bossPeople enjoy down time and some goofing around
>>736916571you should play it again. it's pretty much a choose your own adventure game. it only feels empty to you because you want your hand held
>>736916541>t. played game with a guide and only went to the lootspots with meaningful lootTry playing without the wiki and see how badly designed it is.
>>736916624Gothic is hardly a sprint.
>>736916659I still have the original unpatched version installed when there wasn't a wiki
>>736916648Nah brother, when I saw the copy pasted bosses and gorillion tombs I was like fuck this shit. Never returned.
>>736916659>>736916718I pre-ordered this game and beat it before there was a wiki. yes I cheated and used great stars hoar stomp
>>736916778you're missing out
>>736916541NTA, but the game is stupidly stingy with upgrade mats. So finding a new weapon isn't that exciting when you know you'll have to go farm smithing stones just to make it usable. Also ER's fashion is ass.
>>736916718I member for like 2 days after launch the boss drops for a lot of the tombs were completely different, like the first gladiator guy you fight in i think weeping peninsula used to drop a very good axe but it was changed to a shit tier spirit ash
>>736914374Not just a good open world game.The best.
>>736914374awful lot of faffin' that could've been shortened
>>736916853the funny thing nothing actually matters. all you need is good items. you can beat this game naked if you have over powered items like the great dragon quest shield talisman
>>736916940>dragon crest great sheild talisman
>>736916940Yeah, but that isn't fun.
>>736916832FOMO don't work on me.Isaiah 41:10 KJVFear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
>>736914374If the world was 50% smaller (except legacy dungeons) and had 50% less reused enemies it would've been 10/10 perfect
I enjoyed exploring it therefore it's good, and I don't give a shit about your stupid and wrong opinions, don't @ me.
>>736916985go back to x faggot while I delve into hell and destroy it myself
>>736916994I agree it's a fun game too
@736916994You're wrong. Cope.
>>736916926And yet you left in the entire filler peninsula.
>>736915848VGH... KINV
>>736916983it's fun because you have to scoure the land to find these hidden items. you don't even know what the haligtree is because you gave up. you don't deserve to have an opinion
>>736916983>>736917174if you beat the game once regardless of what ending you choose then maybe I'll listen to you.
the only real flaw in this game is the obscene reusing of bosses, everything else is perfect
>>736917620besides the shit storyline from jrr Martin I agree
>>736917740literally the least important part in a souls game so it's ok
Making the world big with long distances and empty space between points of interest just so the player can be given a mount to traverse those distances is fucking cancer. In case of Elden Ring it's just an artistic decision but in other games like Diablo IV you know it's just a fucking ploy, shoehorning in a tedious pointless mechanic so they can sell mount skins in the shop. Fuck off with this shit
>>736914374Because you don’t know what open world means. You think open world is linear. This one has natural delineation via harder mobs. It teaches you your boundaries because of the difficulty of certain areas, or you learn to overcome those areas. It’s a pretty good open world. Dickhead
I have no issue with copypasted content, butchered quests or lack of towns. The biggest issue with ER world is that the exploration is absolutely unrewarding, the worst sin an open world can commit. 99% of shit you get for beating dungeons is worthless trash. They are not even worth doing for runes because of how hard the inflation hits in later levels. This is the reason why games have monetary currency and random gear. They did this right in bloodborne with gem farming but somehow couldnt do this for their biggest game ever? Miyuazaki is such a fucking hack
>waahh there's too much walking between placesJourneying across vast territories is an integral part of an adventure. ER does it right.
>>736918406They are a good source of upgrade mats because of the flowers and stone imps drop smithing stones prettu frequently but that still means you only need to do one or two per area on the map
>>736916648Same, except the academy.Dark Souls will remain the peak of the series.
>>736918704>using summonsreally nigger>stonesyou get more than enough from just clearing mines. Or you can just simply fucking buy them nullifying any need for farmingyou do all these shitty dungeons on your first playthrough because you are clueless. On consecutive playthroughs you skip 90% of world, which begs the question why is this shit open world in the first place
>>736919074Woops, meant for >>736916571
>>736915520>"Zanzibart...what doth life?"
>>736915361elden ring is loaded with points of interest that pull you every direction and has plenty of hidden dungeons to make exploring off the beaten path worth it.
>>736915293
elden ring 2 map just leaked
>>736916504because they're all different layouts, enemies, hazards, gimmicks that make them memorable. I seriously wonder what you guys even like about souls games if dungeon diving isn't what you play these games for.
The only bad thing about it was it being too small
>>736920308nice a kingdom hearts collab cant wait to play with my favorite disney mouse *gigglesquee*
>>736920001on few first runs yeah. But it would be better if the loot wasn't 100% predetermined. On subsequent plays most areas just get ignored due to being useless.Which is why i only really play rando now.
>>736914424NTA but the retarded multi hour golden seed + sacred tear + titanite chore run at the start of every playthough past the first is beyond awful
>>736914657Dark Souls 1 is also an open world game.
>>736914374Agreed. There's no point of an open world when you're going for low interactivity and the game world isn't even alive. If they made an entire game set in a fantasy megacity like Anor Londo that was dense and detailed it would have been far more impactful.
>>736920434>because they're all different layouts, enemies, hazards, gimmicks that make them memorable90% of them filled with fucking imps
>>736918489>Funny past enemies that can't keep up with your magical horse with double jumps and infinite stamina is an adventure>Enemies being tied to invisible arenas is an adventure>Enemy convoys walking a set path every time and turning into statues at the end is an adventureNo
>>736922262>FunnyRunning*Fuck me it's over!
>>736914374I remember thinking the underground was going to be awesome. In the end it only looked intriguing
>>736921446Why do you rush upgrades instead of picking them up while fighting content?
