let's be honest, we're all waiting for the next elder scrolls game.
true..
+Jake Harvey I'm not.
My PC can't run it anyway.
:(
well the elder scrolls online was a MASSIVE disappointment so all we can do is hope that Bethesda cab redeem themselves
+Sean Dolen Redeem themselves from what? lol they didnt make elder scrolls online
Seth Delmar Oh really? Wow, then nevermibd I'm all for the next elder scrolls game!
The worst open world game that I hate is called Life.
I think it's more of a mathematical equation (or set of them) rather than a game.
how so?

Well, you can always hit the ''exit'' button
Dan Threepwood
I see what you did there. As a Soul gamer I will never give up!
Im just getting into "The Witcher 3" and i didnt thought a game could contain so much content, details, and story.
Stalker the most forgotten/ unknown gem.
Its garbage
@@joeltaveras5857 youre taste is garbage
It was a great game
@@leonunderconstruction he's a fortnite player he doesnt know what a good game is
Is anyone else PROUD to be a gamer?
me!
Story of my life.
Better... Storys*
No
+Anthony Pointer why tho? after watching this I think that if anyone should be PROUD that would be game designers... you just play games dude...
This is a huge reason why I want to be a game designer.
goodluck
+KING BAB thanks man, got accepted into a game design major for next fall. pretty hyped
+Finest Be my friend
bunnyboyy1 sure pal
Same!
Wow I just discovered gameranx and I have to say, they do such an amazing and comprehensive video description on games, it's pretty outstanding. I'm into it! Keep it up guys.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was fucking amazing. That game blew my mind the first time I played it. An open-world FPS with survival horror elements? FUCK YES.
such is life in the zone. stay cheeki breeki
Eric Harris the start of SLAVIC memes (Not just RUSSIA OR UKRAINE, SLAVIC nations in general)
STALKER is such a sadly underrated game. Challenging as balls to.
the only game that was easier on the hardest difficulty. they actually tried their best to make it as realistic as possible, bullet drop, ricochet of oblique angles all before that was a big thing. those games were a 8/10 since they were so short and somewhat disorganized would love to see them remade into a longer game with bigger maps
i love you guys
no gaming channel makes better videos than you
ikr
+Zaytham Slott True that
that could be a haiku if you try
+Zaytham Slott maybe Ahoy?
gameranx is under rated ign is over rated
4:59 fucking skeevers.
Lol
skeevers are actually Satan in disguise
+james wasda If you hit a skeever once it jumps, it will fly into the air!
deathie7 if you shoot a firebolt at a dragon skeleton, it will fly quarter of the way across the map. But you have to hit it before it stops moving, and then it turns into a moveable object.
What about runescape which was a pretty huge open world in 1999 and had a working economy and was a massive multiplayer open world where players would play together in the open world?
Sucked no sorry
@Alex The Awsome like what? And are of those games still around? don't get me wrong, just wondering. I've played runescape a lot between 2004-2012, then i met World of Warcraft and forgot about Runescape even existing. It was a good game though, I don't know when it was introduced but the Grand Exchange system and a dynamic economy for a game is pretty good.
0:03 Kyraaaat. I loved this map so much.
He totally just blew over GTA 5
You*
What's new about it? It's the same thing as any other open world game. Nothing new. The same old stuff
he blew over many, many open world games.
this was about the evolution of it. what did gta 5 add that hadn't been done before?
+miner69erher that's right, GTA V is like a homage for every rockstar franchise
well, ac came out in 2007 I think, and I'm pretty sure it's an open world stealth game.
Lol
lol
lol
Your absolutely right. Metal Gear The Phantom Limb or whatever it's called was certainly not the first open world stealth game. Don't know where Falcon got that idea!
+Grant You're*
First open world stealth game? What about Assasin's Creed?
Assasin's Creed is good game, but stealth is weak...hiding in group of people is not hiding, if you didn't play MGSV give it a try, amazing game
hiding in a box is less stealthy than hiding in a group of people so stfu, but i guess maybe assassin's creed wasn't open world or they just forgot about it.
Man you can argue that one guy dressed completely different from everyone else can't hide in a group, but to use as an example a game where you can walk aroun in a box and you're hidden is not the perfect way to do this.
Every game has it's gimic, ACs gimic is leap of faith, MGSs gimic is box, hidin in box was fun thing from MGS1, people liked it and it stayed. AI from MGS is much more advanced and sofisticated you don't need box to finish game, box is retarded but fun, but hiding in shadows and in blind angles is what is making this game exelent. When you hide in crowd in AC, AI doesent suspect a thing and crowf alows anybody to blend, but if you hidr in box, guards suspect something is wrong...
BTW games are soposed to be unrealistic, rhat's why they are fun and we play them.
Jesse McCormick even though the world is open in Assassin's Creed games, when you play the missions, the game sort of paints the picture of how it wants you to kill a specific enemy. Especially after you've acquired a new weapon. The world may be open but that really isn't open gameplay per se. Hitman would be the polar opposite of this. While having a small world most of the time and not having a lot to explore, the mission execution is about as open as it gets.
Assassin’s Creed 2 and GTA San Andreas are my all time picks for the greatest open world games to date! 💯/💯
Tresicre Tatum and sadly neither of them were mentioned in this video
gta 5 ......sleeping dogs what abt those games ???
AC 4 too .....best map ever in AC
Rahul Verma AC Odyssey has the most beautiful map in the series imo. I find myself stopping on the sides of cliffs just staring at the landscape for a good min.
Tresicre Tatum I a. Currently replaying AC2
Test Drive Unlimited and Unlimited 2? You know, only _the_ most open racing games ever?
Yea
+titleguy1 nfs underground 2 set the ground for open world racing game not test drive unlimited it was nfs underground 2
+titleguy1 Your Forgeting Burnout Paradise
+titleguy1 Sadly they weren't that very good. Which sucks because they have so many good concepts that makes me love and want to play it but they end up soooo boring. Especially Unlimited 2.
Yeah they are just racing cars. Gets boring fast. To bad he didn't cover mmos in this video.
The people in the comments saying why did you forget this forget that you can't have every game in the video
+Nova Mortuis or maybe not every game made a difference in the genre.
RedX165 that to
Video games are still getting better really fast. About time for a volume 2 of this video idea for your channel.
Personally, I think the Witcher 3 is the pinnacle of Open World Games.
King Banana GTA is
King Banana
Yeah GTA
Asep 003 I like the fantasy theme more, personally.
Asep 003 only gta5 and San Andreas were actually open world the rest were restricted to certain islands
In terms of the actual map, absolutely. Beautiful, detailed, dense. But the gameplay was just horrible in my opinion, so I couldn't really get into as much as I wanted to.
Uploaded 2 seconds ago, damn im early
damn
Daaaaaaaaaamn Daniel
+AyyJack no
+Alex Martin daaaaammnn Alex!
+DarkPotato You wut m8? O_O
Dying Light, The Witcher 3, MGS V, Fallout 4... wow what a year
No san andreas? That was the game that made feel the "Open World" back then.. 😶
Alex The Awesome
Not in the way SA did it. At one point I owned an airport with a jet pack. If I traversed the whole map, I’d pull out the jet plane. If I wanted to explore, gimme that jet pack. Plus riding a bicycle felt so satisfying for some reason.
Watching this in early 2019. Sad to see how gaming went downhill fast in just one year.
I thing grand theft auto 3 was the biggest game changer.
90s- ocarina of time 00s- gta3 2010s- Skyrim/Witcher
GTA 3 felt shit even for it's time.
Deathpool agreed
Scarface the world is yours in my opinion was one one of the best even better than GTA 5 in my opinion i know i will get alot of hate from this but you could truly have alot of fun in this game i recommend this to you
For most consumers definitely. For game developing absolutely no. It brought Open World games more into the main stream
wow, no mention of Gothic? the best designed open world ever!!!
Had to scroll through comments, I knew someone else had to mention Gothic. It had many features Elder Scrolls series only later implemented, and world was so well designed.
Idk how people praise some old ass buggy games. Like you literally gotta go out of your way to enjoy that shit. At least Bethesda games have a crazy huge modding community that you can depend on to change any part of the game you want. What does Gothic have? Combat? The story and characters are pretty average writing.
The production on this video is AMAZING!!!
"first ever open world stealth game"
What is Assassin's Creed? Entire video you didn't mention AC (except of that one picture of Altair at the beginning) and credit where credit is due, it's certainly an important series in open-world games history. You even commended Dying Light for "bringing in a bit of parkour", lol
11:50 Dying Light is just amazing, is one of the few games i can say for sure is one the best games i've ever played and even though i've finished all the main story and secondary missions, the game still gives me that feel that ther's a LOT more to be done before stopping
no gothic?, the first actual awesome open world rpg and to this day still is awesome
Had to scroll through comments, I knew someone else had to mention Gothic. It had many features Elder Scrolls series only later implemented, and world was so well designed.
leidenisthebest ur avatar makes it look funny
I'm convinced that the only people who like Gothic games are just weird contrarians who find everything wrong with any game made after 2005
Damn I've been subbed for a long time but never really dug deep into your content.
Just saw random videos, game reviews etc (if I remember right) but these videos are awesome! Love learning more about obscure gaming history and technical facts about graphics/processing etc.
Extremely thoughtful and well put together video
Why does a 6 hour long, linear piece of shit game cost as much as a 200+ hour RPG?
$$$$$
***** lol yeah, but shouldn't bigger and longer games cost more?
Like the way a single movie DVD is cheaper than a TV series boxset.
+jim jimjim Which game are you talking about?
rikoLas All games really. Some games you can complete in just one day, when others you can play for literally hundreds of hours.
thanks Jim. If the next elder scrolls or WoW expansion costs $200, because they also said "how come a 6 hour game costs $60...surely a 200+ hour game is worth......" We are done as best pals for life.
I loved the evolution of rocks in RPGs
Nice intro! Great video as always. I love these gaming history lessons. 🤓🤓🤓
What about gothic? The First One where you have to choose between factions, and that you didn't have to wait for loading everytime you had to enter a cave
Arma 3 is a severely underrated game, in terms of everything that happens in it and the actual setting it takes place in
You are right. He didn't talk about PC exclusives that much. PC only games outweigh consoles game by far. Arma is a good example. I wonder if Xbox One X will have it? I say this because the other consoles were too weak to run it. The Xbox One could or PS4 for sure but at minimal settings. A high-end Pc still can have a hard time running it. I still do with a Ryzen 1700@4.0ghz and a Aorus 1080 Ti.
And up this year..
No Man's Sky.
Can't wait for tht. Since they finally win the lawsuit of the word "Sky". Word-based lawsuit,I just hate that thing.
it looks like shit lololol
It good for people who love exploration and it seem good so far
Tweetug 36 i think it looks shit just buy gta san andreas and 4 for exploration xdd
+JeevesPlays Minecraft Obvious troll is obvious.
Amazing work bro!
This is a great video. Good job.
How many more years till we have film quality graphics. Where people can't tell if you're watching a movie or playing a game. And by that I mean actual gameplay not cutscenes. That's the big question. Of course no one knows the answer yet but I REALLY hope it's in my lifetime.
It most likely will be.
Go check GTA 5 redux mod. It is really realistic.
dude no way what about unchated 4
Yes..and I wonder how immersive it will get..not only seeing 'real life' graphics but full 3d and touch etc. Like a holodeck.
10 years - 2026
The video is about games but correct me if I’m wrong but the thumb nail is from the Never ending Story
To clarify before I make this statement, I was very young: not never ending story unless in a remaster they covered the boobs. I remember being a kid and thinking I would get in trouble if my mom knew the never ending story had breasts in it.
That's what I was thinking : "they made a game on it?"
Man the fact you mentioned Asherons Call. That was my jam. I miss it.
Playing Shenmue for the first time when it came out, shortly after I got a Sega DreamCast was truly one of the most amazing Memories I have in gaming!! Nothing before it, even came close to just how immersed you felt the first time getting up, Browsing they all the Drawers in your house, going to practice in the Dojo & then, finally beginning your adventure where everything seems so new and fresh and amazing at the time!! And anybody else like me who shares this truly exceptional memory, can never forget getting the job at the docks running the forklift!!!! Than the following forklift races!!!!
I absolutely love the first Shenmue & have it on both my Ps4pro & Xb1x!!
Farcry 3 was heavily stealth based. I'm not sure you could call it a stealth game, but it was certainly the precursor to that.
how can u forget to put gta 5
ikr
+tom ato (Tomato) yeah i mean when the video started the first thing that i could think of was gta 5 and he did't even talk about san andreas he was talking about iv which we all know it was kinda fail and when gta5 came out it was san andreas and gta iv together and even better
totally agree
+tom ato (Tomato) good game, but wasn't really a milestone
+tom ato (Tomato) GTA 5 really didn't do anything new for open world. In fact it kind of detracted from its own series rather than adding anything new. I mean it's DEFINITELY pretty...but uh...yeah. Not much else.
Came here just to give you a thumbs up for mentioning Asheron's Call. Amazing game for its time that I hardly ever see mentioned anywhere by anyone. It was revolutionary by MMORPG games standards too, the combat, the spell crafting system, and the skills system were great
Shenmue on the almighty Dreamcast was a real game changer.
I'm surprised Assassin's Creed wasn't mentioned.
Agreed. Assassin's Creed should have been mentioned for being the first open world stealth game instead of Metal Gear Solid 5. But hey, people just have to praise Hideo Kojima for literally anything right?
Why would you choose all those minion pics
Did you know that the blue whale could be the smallest living creature if it just wasn't that large?
WOAH!!! Mind BLOWN!!!
I love this list of games. I didn't know a lot of the older games. I noticed you had 0 MMO titles. Are you planning on making a video about the history of MMO's as well?
Open world games are by far my favorite genre and what makes them even better is VR which turns these games into mind's blowing experiences games like fallout 4vr Skyrim VR are amazing then you have the modded VR games like dying light in VR is just amazing and then there's my favorite the GTAV VR mod this is simply the greatest gaming experience I've ever had looking forward to more in the future
Nice video! I have a request though: Please do a video on surround gaming and if it's worth it? Also please compare it to open back headphones. I want some headphones that I can listen to some music beautifully but get that great awareness of where footsteps or bullets in csgo are coming from for example.These are the things that those surround sound g4m3r headphones promise.Just want to make sure I make the right choice. I'm thinking of getting some good headphones then just putting a ModMic 2.0 on it. Thanks
~Some Guy On A Computer
+Some Guy on a Computer Being able to listen to music and concentrating on, of all things, footsteps, are two completely different things. That's like saying you want to bench press, but you also want to type an essay at the same time as fast as possible.
***** What i'm asking for is a headset with balance? I want to play games and competitive sometimes but still want a good listening experience
I just want an answer, with the community saying one thing and the marketing saying another, I just want to make the right choice.
dayz isnt a open world game, its a failure
Lol
+leeroy newman wait til 0.60
Lcarpetron Dookmarriot do you really think clientside performances are gonna fix dayz? do you know what serverside perforamnces are? thats what dayz really needs.
Wouldn't say it's a failure, they made a ton of money off of it. And yes I know they're better games but dayz is a really unique fun game to play, a lot of memories.
+leeroy newman
DayZ (the mod) is important because it influenced lots of indie developers to create their own open-zombie-survival-MMO, which evolved into open-something dangerous-survival-MMO (like Ark with dinosaurs or The Forest with those... things).
Great video! Wished you included mmorpg's as well since they also have a fair history of games which influences the genre as well in my opinion. Maybe sometimes even destroyed it. But still would have been interesting :3
How is Outcast not in this list?
Still one of the best games I've ever played, so ahead of its time.
that video thumbnail was neverending story
Does Mercenaries 1 & 2 not count as open world?
There's a few more early open world games that were about, I'll see if I can remember their years. They might not be the first one ever, but still early examples of what was to later become.
1989 saw Vette! You were to race around a low poly recreation of San Francisco and it was completely open world. You could ignore the race to your hearts content. I don't know the exact size of the map but it was huge, an example of what early DOS computers could really do. It included as many landmarks as it could as well as areas. One of the games I had been able to play and it was so much fun, violent too, nothing like tearing down Lombard Street and running over a nun. You crashed and bashed your way through the city, to the finish line you took whatever route you wanted and they weren't just pathways it was a fully realised city with districts and places to go in totally irrelevant places to the race. You had a variety of camera angles and car tuning abilities. You even could have accidents which could game over you or get pulled over by the police, which you could try to talk your way into being let off or bribe, they didn't always work though and you still might get busted. There was another game before Vette! from 1988, I forget its name but it is a similar game. Also before Vette! were the early Test Drive games.
Another early 3D game of that time was Terminator, for DOS machines in 1990. It was a first person shooter where you took the role of either Kyle Reese or the Terminator, the objective to kill the Terminator or escape him, if you played as him you had to track down and kill both Kyle and Sarah. It had a rather sizeable recreation of L.A. to explore although nowhere near as big as Vettes San Francisco. In you you stole cars, ran people over, shot people, had police chases. You could go into shops and buy things or steal things, if caught stealing the cops would be called on you. There were other types of buildings you could go into although I never did figure out what they were all for, I think you were supposed to find information on the whereabouts of Sarah and Kyle....but you had an indicator of where they might be anyway.
Another game I can think of came out around the time of GTA 1, Crime Cities, an open world game like descent, flying cars in a future cyberpunk dystopian setting, all huge cities to fly up and down and all around in. Shooting the Hell out of other enemy vehicles.
Some of the early games tried a lot of ideas and some neat open world games can be found, but those ones I can mention as they are ones I have played and can recall a bit more about them.
I feel like I may have made this post before, this video seems familiar although I have no indication on my end of seeing it. Oh well, those are some games anyhow.
EVE Online is almost exclusively player-driven narrative, IIRC, aside from NPC mission givers in low-security zones. Been awhile since I played it though.
Who else just took a trip down memory lane
SHENMUE!!!
I need to play that again
Ive heard, I hope to god it is good. The trailer was really bad, which is worrying, but could be nothing.
I never played it but I watched the whole thing on RUclips over several days! I have the new one ordered by backing it but it is taking forever!
100% best series on this channel
The footage shown was Ultima 3 (which had a grid of 255 x 255, thus requiring 2 eight-bit-bytes for any position plus one byte for the content of a grid field)
no man's sky? Guild Wars? Final Fantasy? Shadow of the Colossus? WoW? Far Cry Primal? Dragon's Dogma? Infamous? Crack Down? Xenoblade Chronicles? Prototype? Burnout Paradise? Ghost Recon? Saint's Row? Sleeping Dogs? Watch Dogs? The Division? ok
ikr?
THANK YOU for mentioning Dragon's Dogma and InFamous, those were both awesome yet underrated
+Figs Final Fantasy is not open world
+sguitas FF15 is going to be open world so be excited for that
saints row 3 had to be the best ive ever played :)
The Witcher 3 soured every game I've played since. It was so good that when I finished it and all expansions, I was disappointed and couldn't even play anything else for a couple months.
Ryan Stoned good lord, why? That gameplay is atrocious.
Witcher 3 stans are so annoying. Y'all are like Star Wars fans acting like it does something that's never been done before and will never be done again. Its a great game, but if you that weirdly invested in some shit where you press buttons you need something called a life: girlfriend, career, other hobbies that aren't gaming.
@@geordiejones5618 Listen we all know that gaming all day, every day, throughout a lifetime, is a waste of a lifetime. I agree on that.
But what he said never implied that he has no life outside of gaming.
Your comment has 3 sentences, the first of which is a remark, a personal opinion, calling someone annoying in the comment section of a gaming video, for praising a good game. The second sentence is simply not true, because no one claims that nothing like Witcher 3 will ever be done again, and in fact agree that it has been done in smaller scales before. No other game just had had the same effect on them. And your third sentence, could be said about any hobby ever.
Overall your comment neither adds anything of value to the comment section or to your own life, nor does it accomplish anything other than being obnoxiously rude.
Gameranx deserves BIG props for this well researched piece ;-) I was fully expecting them to skip right over some of these earlier titles. Some VERY notable omissions: Midwinter 1 & 2 and Hunter (on the Amiga) Mercenaries - Playground of Destruction (PS2/Xbox) Body Harvest (N64) Microsoft Flight Sim (PC)
Thanks@
First open world game I ever played was Driver 2. A friend had it and I played at his house, I was amazed I could just drive any where I wanted.
i want to see rock star and cd project red make a game together.
damm
damn*
+witcher fanboy undead redemption made by rockstar and cd project red pls
Fuck naw. I'm not down with that. We need the two companies in competition.
Also CD projekt is good, but Rockstar made GTA 3, GTA vice, GTA 4, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption, LA noire....and even bully
To say the least, CD projekt has a long way to go before it is on the level of Master Rockstar. The ultimate one.
The Witcher V, where Gerald is doing heists with MG's in Los Santos and in the Map of Witcher 3 (lol)
I take it you aren't counting MMO's in this? Everquest, World of Warcraft, and EVE Online were very noticeably missing from this video. Heck, EVE Online actually succeeds in having everything be basically 100% player driven content.
Matt Brandenburg MMOS can be linear, and they don't provide as much freedom as a game like breath of the wild
YOU GUYS PUT MIDTOWN MADNESS IN THIS VIDEO THANK YOU!!! We need a Midtown Madness 4!!!
I was surprised that Hunter from the Commodore Amiga was not on the list. Was a great 3D game released in 1991. The use of vehicles in the game was amazing!
still haven't completed witcher 3 and have had it since release...>.
Are you also doing all the side missions?
+How Big is the Map? no
Redheadedgamer The Witcher 3 is just a big long game!!! Hours and hours of great gameplay!
How Big is the Map? Really I just don't want it to end deep down so I refrain from playing it. I would like to play it but i just get an urge that says NO
Redheadedgamer If the games ends, you can play the DLC!
What is the thumbnail image from? Looks like Neverending story?
Ashersons Call was my first mmo. So many memories.
Wow best gaming channel hands down!
no mention for pokemon?
ut feels open, especially with a region map in each game
*it
It's not a open world you have to beat areas to move on. So it doesn't fit on this list
+WoodedOrange same goes to GTA
+WoodedOrange an open world pokemon game would be legit.
CHIMICHANGAS indeed, accept for its latest entry gta 5
Anyone else noticed that the map at 3:08 is a swastic cross? O.o
+DarkHero - Destiny Content
Yep. It was meant to be the thing that the swastika was based off of, not the actual swastika. :\
Actually it's apparently meant to be a Buddhist symbol of peace but you know
Ethan Drain I actually knew that
+DarkHero - Destiny Content oh ok I just assumed you didn't
+DarkHero - Destiny Content Th-the-then when ask??
That music is stellar sir.
Shenmue had time routines too. Some people work, some went shopping or friends house, it was unique. You had to write down there daily routine to remember and to catch up with them, very unique.
witcher 3 is by far the best open world rpg i've played :)
I strongly disagree that Skyrim is more dense than Morrowind. Morrowind was HIGHLY populated. Otherwise, carry on.
Just came back to see this again after a year ago, the open world genre is still expanding, I feel I am so small while thinking that next milestone will be some thing galactic open world like Star Citizen.
I've been sitting at my computer for 3 hours. I'm still waiting for this video to bring up Jak & Daxter, which has the most immersive open world considering how simple the game is. Great game design.
You missed a big one: 2004-World of Warcraft.
+PLord that is still going
fatarsemonkey
I wasn't talking to the trolls, i was talking to the maker of video.
...that's an mmo not an open world
PLord
No WoW is still going
It is still open world.
Skyrim = best game of all time (possibly until TES6)
oh wow i want to like this video 4 times in a row, GREAT job on this one, this might be one of your best videos yet. also you forgot grand theft auto 5, now this game is a great open world game, but it is also one of the first games that truly brought story telling to video games, before grand theft auto 5 there were not many games based around a story, they were all very linear, grand theft auto 5 on the other hand was open world and at the same time one of the best story's ever told in modern video game history!
Hi there Great vid! Whats that music in the background please!? :)
Name of the song at the beginning?
You forgot to include 2 of the most important milestone open world titles in this list:
1.Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
2. The First Assassins Creed
+iKrloz Perez And Call of Duty 4
assassin's creed isn't necessarily a open world game because of the memory sequences that break up the game play
+Defender Of Faith How the fuck is cod4 an open world game?
I wish you would've given Dying Light more attention in this video. It's such an important addition to the open world gaming experience. The day/night cycle for one!! MGS V needed a lil more love as well. But this was a great video!!! Loved it
I get so delved in oblivion or skyrim. I will always love open world games
I am interested in seeing what No Man's Sky will be like.
its a will buy to me
dont give a shit about the price
i want to name stuff Deeznuts
+BOBlibob Have you got spore? Elite Dangerous? Try mixing both and add a dash of the X-series. Then focus more on discovery. That's what it'll probably be like
***** stop being jealous of my swagger
Fable cannot compare to an open exploration world like Morrowind. Fable was, ok. But very badly marketed from the start. But, no rpg can compare to TES games really. They are in league of there own. Not because of the RPG or open world, But because of both of these, and the lore that backs them up. It's simply astounding.
+Wodinn Morrowind was the peak in the open world aspect of ES games, each game after that has cut back more & more of the freedom to explore aspects, remember when we could super jump, walk on water & fly? oblivion & skyrim murdered that freedom.
+Fuzzy Duo I'd rather have a genuine combat system that looks and feels good than the ability to super jump and fly (in Skyrim you can walk on water)
THe Elder Scrolls games are great, but The Witcher 3 took the TES' formula and cranked it up to 11.
I can't wait to see what Bethesda can do to top The Witcher 3.
cmq18 It didn't take the TES formula, like at all. They are totally different, Skyrim is my favourite game of all time, and I thought The Witcher 3 was... Fine, I suppose, but still pretty boring.
I'm not going to argue my point, because you're not going to get it. Also, I'm going to guess you don't like reading books.
The Gothic Series had done a ton of things that games nowadays don't even do as well. But in 1986 Alternate reality had an open world that was excellent eps for it's time. It's still to this day my favorite RPG. It was a MMORPG simulator before mmorpgs even existed. It was like the matrix in game form.
What game is that image you put as your video thumbnail? It looks like it's from the never ending story clip with the statues you have to pass to become worthy. Or is that a game? I would love to know!😃
Dark Souls is definitely open world you didn t even mention it.... THE SHORTCUTS
Is that Never Ending Story as the thumbnail?
+Terra Gamer I don't think so but that is what that reminded me of.
One of the hallmarks of open world for me is the experience of feeling a huge world open up before you and that you can go anywhere. There are two defining moments for me where I fell in love with open world. The first is when you emerge from Vault 101 in Fallout III and see the Washington Monument far in the distance. The second is emerging from the sewers in Oblivion and seeing the Alied ruins across the bay. These big reveal moments create a feeling of expansive potential that are essential to the open world experience.
For me it's in Breath of The Wild. I actually had that feeling twice. The first was when you exited the shrine of resurrection and saw the world. Then you explore the Great Plateau and are able to explore a relatively small, yet large area. When you get the glider however, that feeling returned. You got to see what just a small area had in store and weren't fully equipped. Now you have more movement options and no longer are limited to exploring Hyrule.
Those were awesome moments for me.
