"Open world" games are frauds. A big overworld map is not an open world. How did the term "world" even worm its way into "open world"?
WHAT world? A world is full of dynamic processes competing with each other. "Open world" games are sterile and lifeless and almost NOTHING happens without the player initiating it.
What we need is a simulation of a world.
NPCs going around the wilderness and taking the resources they need independently, doing their trades and jobs, etc.
They harvest resources and bring them to towns, merchants bring them from towns to cities and other towns etc., - the only resources available to buy are the exact ones that NPCs actually produced and there is a real dynamic market that you can influence by working to manipulate the variables.
NPCs at the top of the hierarchy command the other NPCs to do what they prefer, they have armies and fight other elite NPCs for territory and resources.
They expand colonies into the wilderness and fight animals/monsters and try to take over eachother's land.
This is a real video game, everything we have now is just trying to pretend it's this and the retarded brown/mutt consumer masses (You) don't care.
I mean this is the most obvious formula to make a real fucking open world game, but it seems like no one has even tried.
Who the fuck cares if its a broken mess, it would be fun, groundbreaking, and eventually get fixed.
HOW THE FUCK has video game culture and industry stagnated to the point we very clearly have the technology to make this game work but NO ONE IS FUCKING TRYING TO MAKE IT
This is 100% POLITICAL
