It's great. I can just attach -slop to anything and it completely invalidates any argument that the opposing party could potentially have.

Slop is anything you've had enough of. For me it's stuff like hero shooters and anything that wants to be the next fortnite. Most of you are just naming things you don't like and it's not what slop means.

Open world that is "filled with things to do". There is no clearer sign of completely missing the point than this, it's just taking advantage of a thing that provides filler for dense content, so that you can parallelize the production of infinite filler slop and call it your "content".
Shadow of the Colossus uses open world correctly, Morrowind arguably uses open world correctly, practically everything else does not use open world correctly.
>But muh exploration, I guess you just have no imagination
There is no exploration in these games, everything is homogeneous and equally spaced out, and the open world is just generated off a heightmap so you know what will be everywhere, it's just 100 hours of "did this while shitting instead of reading the ingredients on a shampoo bottle" content.

These games exist because incompetent teams get funding and not enough oversight while they chug away at a game that isn't fun, misses every deadline and has no central idea for 6-12 years.

It is. Quest markers are an automated system to ensure quest sanity.
If you move, remove, adjust, etc. a quest location, NPCs, landmarks, signposting, items, etc. all of it needs to still allow for the quest to be functional from beginning to end, whereas relying on an automated pathfinding system and just never being specific allows for the removal of large amounts of work and testing at the expense of an experience that isn't brainrot.
A quest log still forces you to read and an increasing amount of people in the first world can't do that.
