What are some openworld or semi-openworld games with least filler content
do you even comprehend what you're asking for
Openworld games where the world serves no purpose?Mafia 2, LA Noir maybe...
>>744714607pretty sure mafia1 has even less filler
Because of the nemesis system, something happens every 3 min you're roaming in the open world.
>>744713982Deus Ex HR, Deus Ex MD, VTMB. Though this would be the old definition, and very stretched version, of "open world".
Dungeon Lords technically has an open world, but it's very gated and full of random mobs, instead of interesting content.
>>744713982what game? Looks kinda cool
I think the point where content in an open world game starts to feel like filler is when I can start to see repetition in it. Like for example in FF7Rebirth, when going through the grasslands area in the beginning and seeing the devs introduce these little tasks in the world for the player to do, felt like them planting seeds for the repetitive framework the game was going to work within. And sure enough once I got to Junon area all the same little tasks popped up in a slightly different context.ER also has this problem but it's not as bad because it's not as rigid with how the content is distributed around the world and regions. Issue still stands that there's too much repetition and I think a quick fix would be that things don't repeat more than twice.
>>744713982An open world without filler is completely empty, because an open world is in and of itself just a way to decompress the dense non-filler content without putting effort into designing a more relaxed connecting level or just sticking the dense content behind a level select screen.So I guess probably something like SotC would meet those criteria.>>744716053The modern, "unstretched" definition of open world is just lies and hype.
