And it's not even close, these 4 stand on a league of their own.

>>725669495 (OP)
No

>>725669495 (OP)
Yes

>>725669495 (OP)
And yet Shadow of the Colossus is still the only good open world game depicted.

>>725669495 (OP)
only good ones are elden ring and botw
final fantasy is so cringe and gay

>>725669495 (OP)
I'm gonna fucking kill you.

>>725669495 (OP)
remove rebirth and add Skyrim

>>725669495 (OP)
I agree

>>725669495 (OP)
Missing Genshin Impact and Skyrim.

>>725669495 (OP)
This but swap FF with Minecraft.
There needs to be at least 1 sandbox.

>>725669495 (OP)
One of these is not like the other (its Rebirth)

8.8/10 got me to respond.

>>725669495 (OP)
I'm starting to think open world games kinda suck

Wow what a horrible list

>>725670425
Not every game needs to take itself so seriously, time to grow up and stop being an edgelord.

>>725669495 (OP)
>elden ring
boss rush isn't a game

>>725669495 (OP)
No on cares about SotC

>>725671129
The game is full of dungeons, sidequests, optional content, etc besides bosses.

>>725671018
>Not every game needs to take itself so seriously
Not that guy. But the problem is Final Fantasy does. It tries to have comedy and dramatic moments. But the tone and build up to both are very poorly done. And then sometimes they try to blend both together. So the game has been building for the last 10 hours to this super dramatic fight scene or character death. But literally 5 minutes before or after is another "comedy" scene that completely kills it. Or the characters are doing Naruto acrobatics and breaking immersion.

Final Fantasy is made for 12 year olds who think they're playing a game with super deep tone and writing.

>>725671129
Nigga that's literally SotC

>>725669495 (OP)
>final faggotry

Where's Far Cry?

>>725669495 (OP)
I don't think Shadow of the Colossus is open world... I don't even know what you COULD call it, actually. Never really thought about it.
>FF7
It's open world??

Elden Ring > FF7 Rebirth > BOTW > SOTC

But Ocarina of Time is much better than all of them.

>>725672054
Ocarina is dated as fuck, great game for its time but it doesn’t hold up today.

>>725671992
>It's open world
Not really. There's just a large hub with busywork. It's not open in the sandbox sense. Hell, I wouldn't even really call Breath of the Wild open. In my opinion, the world itself (I.E. enemies, NPCs) has to have the potential to wander the world and interact with itself as much as the player does, and in games like these, they don't. Everything is scripted in its little corner and can't leave, it just sits there, waiting for you, all the time. Just because there's no load screens doesn't make it open.
I don't think people give enough credit to random encounters/spawns and triggered world events that require ambiguous thresholds to achieve. If the world isn't evolving with (You), then what's the point? Even sand blows with the wind, but these "sandbox" games just sit still like cement. Embarrassing.

>>725672235
>great game for its time
It really wasn't. The combat was worse than [OTHER GAME] and all it really had was style. It was quite literally praised (along with FF7) for its "narrative depth" I.E. its prospects as a moviegame.
Which is ironic in retrospect. I mean fuck The Last of Us, but those niggas at Naughty Dog didn't create this bullshit, and Uncharted 3 multiplayer was funner than any dogshit Square or Nintendo EAD has produced this century.

>>725673103
Holy shit, the directors themselves of the game call it open world, how entitled can you be to disagree with the people who made the game about what the game is about? Aonuma has also referred to BOTW several times as an open world game, your opinion ain't worth shit nigga.

>>725669495 (OP)
13-2 is unironically a better open world game than FF7. Wind waker is a better "open world" game than botw. Elden ring is shit and should have been linear. SoTC is the only good game listed. There's dozens of sandbox games better than all of these in terms of open world design. You're a retard.

>>725673554
aging retard take

>>725673554
Post them then, you didn’t post a single one of those supposedly better open world games.
>13-2
Lmao that game is ultra trash, I couldn’t even get past the beach section at the beginning due to how boring it is.

>>725673362
I don't recognize Aonuma's authority to determine what is and isn't in regards to any facet of game design.
My reasoning: his résumé.

glad I watched the ending of sotc on jewtube to free myself from getting through that slog. had I actually reached the end myself I wouldve been so pissed off.

>>725671650
Shut the fuck up and kill yourself you retard, you wouldn't know a good game if it punched you in the face.

>>725673754
>post them
I don't think I will. The beach section takes 20 minutes if your zoomoid brain got filtered that fast I doubt you even have the tab open still. I never said it was a perfect game, I said it was better than 7 remake which is absolutely true.

>>725673362
If an open world game is just a non-linear (or non-linear-esque) world you can move around in, find locations and items and battles and whatever off the beaten path, then open world games have literally existed since the first Final Fantasy. Clearly, there seems to be something wrong with the definition, or it's nowhere near as "impressive" or "complex" as the industry props itself up to be.
If I made a game with a relatively small open box in the middle, and it only has "the town" in the back and "final area" in the front, and scatter whatever items and quests or whatever in the small box, is that open world?

>>725674558
No argument.

>>725669495 (OP)
Good choices.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag is also really good.

>>725673554
Go to bed, boomer.

I don't think Shadow of the Colossus is open world.
It has an open world, but... it's not an open world, you know?

>>725676535
Stfu

>>725669495 (OP)
remove rebirth

>>725669495 (OP)
Get that final fantasy bullshit out. Put Skryim instead.

all mogged by xenoblade X

Botw > SotC > ER > any FF slop

Rebirth is the best game on there

>>725673554
>ER would have been better linear
agreed. everything else you said is retarded cope.

>>725669495 (OP)
Elden Ring proved that not even From software can save the open world genre. It is by far the worst aspect of the game. The world is mostly empty, filled with reused assets and dungeons that give you fuck all for loot. I kept feeling like I was wasting my time exploring.
Even God of War and its hub based approach felt more rewarding to explore.
And yes I am a Fromfag. DS3 is my second favorite game with Sekiro being my favorite.

>>725669495 (OP)
Change Elden Cringe with something else

>>725669495 (OP)
Replace FF with TotK unironically.

>>725669495 (OP)
Elden Ring is the most impressive out of those because not only is it a big ass game, but it's the only one that is also as detailed and cinematic as a short linear game.

>>725673103
Are you retarded? If Zelda is not open world then nothing is. This is the dumbest shit I’ve read.

>>725673554
>Elden ring is shit and should have been linear
A branching path linear ER would have been great, but we got bloated open world slop instead
what a shame

>>725672054
OoT isn't open world, Termina Field is a hub

>>725671951
I would think one of the better entries from Far Cry or Assassin's Creed would deserve a spot, although I haven't played them.

>>725669495 (OP)
Why did you post the cover of SotC remaster? PS2 version is much better.

>>725669495 (OP)
Damn, that's a fucking sad line-up.

>>725669495 (OP)
Switch out BOTW with genshin desu

It's too bad TOTK did not learn from world design and world quests from Genshin. It would fit right in.

>>725674558
>Shut the fuck up and kill yourself you retard, you wouldn't know a good game if it punched you in the face.
Now say that again without crying.

>>725669495 (OP)
all of those are worse than this

>>725687173
If they replaced the building with real game stuff it could have been great. BOTW was a cool tech demo but Genshin took that and made a real game, while TOTK was like a janky mod for a tech demo.

>>725669495 (OP)
all great games. Only a contrarian would think otherwise. You can find them not to your liking but you can't deny the craftmanship, the dedication, the talent and the vision behind all these games. They are good video games by today's standards. They're the best the industry can offer in their respective fields and OP forgot RDR2

>>725669495 (OP)
Rebirth is the best game there but I don't know if it counts as open world. It's semi-open world with it's large, densely packed zones but you're essentially still looking at the traditional level structure right up until the very end of the game where it "opens".
The open world aspect was the worst part of Elden Ring, there was a lot of copy pasted dungeons and towers, and most of the environments weren't very fleshed out. I don't think it benefited at all from the format change.
SotC is just a meh game imo.

objectively, you need to be including some Rockstarslop to the conversation

>>725669495 (OP)
are you fukken retarded? The best open world games are the games that have defined the genre. Why do you think every cuck dev wants to even try to make an open world game? Ask yourself this question. Seriously.
Answer is, the open game world became a craze after few games built with it as a core element of their design were super popular and made shitload of money. Everybody wants to copy.
True list of goated open world games is:
open world MMOs: Ultima Online, Everquest, etc.
Minecraft
GTA Series, esp. Vice City, San Andreas, and V.
That is it. These games were making money hand over fist over the past decades even after falling off mainstream such as online mmos. And so it trickled down to the single player so much, that every dev tried to incorporate it into their games.
TL;DR: Because industry needs to make money. And you make money with open world games for decades now. Minecraft and GTA V are the best selling videogames of all time. They're the true open world GOATs.

>>725691295
man you are retarded. We're talking about the best games not what games defined a genre thanks to their innovation. Nobody cares about GTA III lmaoooo. Get a hold of yourself unc.

>>725691859
Just like any modern day shooter was born out of DOOM and Quake, so did every open game world is born out of 90's open world MMO's, then world of warcraft, then minecraft and gta. You just can not deny facts. There are/were so many good open world games. here is another example:
Yakuza. Yakuza has a small world, but it is packed with shit to do. Your cucked ring is empty as fuck.
Minecraft is also packed with content because you can interact with everything and modify everything inside of the world. None of the shit you have listed even comes close.
Minecraft was released in 2010's by the way, all the zoomies have played it. Gen Alpha tried it out. It's as far from unc games as you can possibly get.
True unc games are goats like Super Mario.

>>725692319
not readin' all that unc'

>>725693267
then stay retarded. kek. nobody gives a shit.

botw was very boring

shitbirth is garbage

>Flawless deep combat

This is a 10/10 game

>>725693516
Trvth.

Elden mid...worst Fromsoft game ever...

>>725693706
I WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH Youffie was real. Real girls SUCK

>>725691295
MMOs aren't even open world games imo, just big areas with no loading screens.
I would argue that open world games need mechanics that warrant the open world, like RDR having hunting and dynamic events, that makes it one of the pioneering open worlds.
SOTC having exploration which enhances the mood of the game is a lesser example.
GTA having cops that chase you, NPCs that interact with you, and a city you need to learn the layout of is a good example too.

>>725694256
the events and content in mmos isn't just questing and hunting/farming mobs. Other players are. Not even just the PvP aspect of them. Making friends and trading are a big part of MMOs.
TL;DR: Player interaction is a big part of dynamic and unpredictable content. Short of future super dynamic videogame worlds ran by AI nothing compares.

>>725694762
Stfu retard for the love of God. Man is comparing RDR2 with fucking WoW

>>725694762
I forgot about PVP honestly, that warrants the open world but if you're just looking at the PVE side, even with friends, the games don't feel like they're quite open world games to me. They're just too static.

>>725669495 (OP)
BotW is the only good game in this image (SotC is the shitty bluepoint remake and not the OG). And there's better openworld games out there anyway (why do retards still think open-world = game genre).

>>725696713
>And there's better openworld games out there anyway
Nope there isn't. You can't even name them otherwise you would've done that already. People love to brag online.

>>725673103
>It's not open in the sandbox sense.
Open world doesn't need to a sandbox to be open world. Open world means seamless transitions throughout environments.

>>725696856
Okay. I was just playing Outward and it was a much better game than Elden Ring was. Happy now?

>>725669495 (OP)
ff7 rebirth is good because of the soundtrack. the open world is not so great

>>725670695
>Not Morrowind
Are you indian?

SV are worth a mention

Despite the bugs and graphics it's got tons of Pokemon roaming around, lots of towns, a cave system, fun traversal via Koraidon/Miraidon and a bigger landmass than Elden Ring

>>725697114
Fucking Outward. Man get the fuck out of here. And you have the ball to say that this boring piece of trash is better than Elden Ring? Delusional.

>>725699834
Yes, a survival RPG with fun exploration/preparation and bad combat is much better than Dark Souls 2 except this time it's open world.

>>725669495 (OP)
Swap Rebirth with picrel

>>725669495 (OP)
Bro really tried to sneak Rebirth in there

>>725700294
>>725680642
Xenoblade X is the BotW is empty meme but real. Amazing visuals but there's nothing to do aside from boring side quests.

"Open world" as a genre fucking sucks and the only good "Open world games" are good because they are good at being a different genre that just also happens to have had an open world stapled onto it.

A game being open world almost always just makes it worse and wastes dev time.

>>725669495 (OP)
TotK is better than BotW. Also SotC kinda sucks. Its just a glorified boss rush. Zero content, zero gameplay. It's like 1/100th the length of an actual open world game.

>>725669495 (OP)
bottom two are goated
top two are absolutely chopped and should be replaced by Oblivion (Skyrim is acceptable) and RDR1

>>725700294
That game's combat looks awful.

>>725703869
it is, and its the one thing that keeps me from getting very far. it looks so fucking cool and they decided to go with WoW combat. tragic stuff. all the xenoblade games are like this.

>>725704264
Every JRPG should go action like Rebirth or full strategy like Final Fantasy Tactics. That turn-based shit is just awful.

>>725669495 (OP)
Skyrim
New Vegas
Xenoblade X
Elden Ring

wasn't that hard tendie

Terraria is a far better open world than any of them. It has its priorities in order, and doesn't care about story or graphics or music or any tertiary trash that doesn't make a game better.

>>725705885
Too bad it looks like shit, had a friend with a few thousand hours in try to get me into it and I tapped out in like 5 minutes.

Never got the love for ICO, tried it once and it never clicked for me.

If you want realistic graphics, Call of Duty is right there for you.

Hello plebbit

>>725704740
i hate strategy but action would be great. even for old shit. if dragon quest 1 had the combat of Ys or something it would be infinitely more tolerable than taking turns attacking and random encounters.
