Is there a single open world game that doesn't lose steam halfway through? It's like the devs forget you need to introduce new content/mechanics/enemy types in order to stop the game from being dull. Linear games understand this, why don't open world games?

this is not even true but whatever I guess you just wanted to shill your shitty art here and you dont even play videogames

Modded Skyrim.

i don't like open world games because they copy/paste content all over the place

i don't mean reusing monsters. monsters existing in more than one location is fine.

what i mean is they'll script some sort of challenge where you have to do a certain task then they copy/paste that exact task all over the map a dozen times.

It's true for the last three AAA open world games I played (Ghost of Tsushima, Breath of the Wild, Spider Man.) If these popular, highly reviewed games do not represent the genre, what does?

Skyrim has no steam whatsoever

Lies, that game's gimmick is precisely giving and teaching you all the powers right in the obligatory tutorial section.

open world is a meme and uses skyrim of all things as it's basis
there is no good example

OSRS as an iron is more like a bell curve. Very early game sucks, late game sucks, everything in between is pretty good

Yeah, the ones that lose it even earlier.

Open world used to be just a way to kill a studio, but now that the people providing the money or more retarded and willing to fund 6+ year development cycles it's a crutch for shit management who can take their hand off the wheel for longer periods of time and just allow their devs to shit out incoherent nonsense that will eventually be stitched together with a bare minimum of effort.
