Favorite open world RPG new POLL is up

Alright, heres how it's going to go:

Underrated Open Worlds first (whichever gets to 15 votes first wins)

Then RPG/FPS open world games (same rules apply)

Then "the big dogs" (15 etc.)

Then the three winners face off.

It should be pretty fun!

Oh and it's all this gen.

Also, when I say underrated, I mean not as universally loved. It doesn't mean I think that all these are great.

EDIT: It's going somewhat slow, so I'm going to decrease the winning number to 10.

EDIT 2: Infamous 1/2 wins the first round! Next up we vote on RPGS

I'm surprised to see L.A. Noire there, that game was brilliant and quite popular. Just Cause 2 should be on the list, what that game accomplished within its massive open world was really something special.

As am I. It also received quite high ratings and praise, so I wouldn't say it's under-rated.

I also have to agree about Just Cause 2, that game was jam-packed with stuff to do, which is hard for a game as big as it is.

Yeah the amount of stuff to do was blindblowing, and it also has one of the best draw distances I've ever seen in a game. Usually you get object pop-in within a big open world setting, but in Just Cause 2, if you were at the top of a mountain, the desert and city areas were as clear as ever. Really impressive.

Awful list so I'm going to ignore it.

GTA 4 and San Andreas

Just Cause 2

Red Faction Guerilla

Saint's Row The Third

Fallout New Vegas

Fallout 3 - Huge cool interesting world

Fallout NV - Huge cool interesting world (with cazadores that mob up and kick your ass)

GTA IV - Huge cool interesting world (with cars)

Borderlands - Huge cool interesting world

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, no doubt.

Thanks for reading the opening post man!

First of all, it was from THIS GEN. I said that.

Second of all, if you read the opening post, you would know these are the underrated/ not as popular games this round.

I will tell the choices for the next round now, but the next round won't go until one of the currents gets 15 votes.

RPG/FPS:

Fallout 3

Fallout New Vegas

Skyrim

Borderlands

Oblivion

"The big dogs":

Assassins Creed 2

Gta 4

RDR

Just Cause 2

Saints Row 2/3

After one of the current options gets 14, the RPG/FPS round will commence.

I've got so many good memories with Just Cause 2, man - I remember spending 50 hours just trying to find all of the hidden secrets and finding the coolest points in the game. I also remember flying in a car behind a plane.

I absolutly hate Infamous, but how is that game underated? I'd say more over rated. Now the Godfather 2 I think is very underrated, also one thats not on here The Saboteur, very good game.

L.A. Noire great game - not underrated

Infamous - not underrated

what are your credentials for picking what underrated games are for the poll? their are real underrated games that should be on their insted over the correclty or overrated ones.

The Saboteur and Just Cause 2 should be on there.

Fallout 2.

It loooks like for this round it's going to be a close one between Mafia 2 and Infamous!

I think that Mafia 2 deserves the prize, it is a game that really deserved more attention.roncyb

Vote for it in the poll then!

Sleeping Dogs

Infamous is up so far... Can't say I enjoyed it as much of some of these others.

NO Fallout games? Strange.. My vote goes to Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3. Exploring an open world at its best!

The poll options are lacking...

Shouldn't the thread title be called 'favorite underrated open world game POLL' so it matches the poll title. Anyway, I don't think the Infamous games and L.A. Noire shouldn't be on this list as they mainly recieved 9/10 scores. Mafia II is definatley the most underrated game on this list and it is the most underrated game this generation, it's not really an open world game though and that is why critics bashed it, if it was an open world game then critics still would have bashed it because it would have been an open world game with cars and guns set in a city that isn't called Grand Theft Auto. Prototype is a very underrated game, it was bashed for being repetitive, but for a game of that type, it had loads of variety. Godfather II is an underrated game, many critics bashed it for having bugs, I have one thing to say about that: SKYRIM, 10/10, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T WORK, F*CK LOGIC!!!!!!!. Just Cause 2 and Saints Row 2/3 should be on this list, they are underrated for the usual reasons when it comes to open world games of that type, they are the most fun games this generation (for anyone who does not know what fun means: Activities that are enjoyable or amusing; "I do it for the fun of it"; "he is fun to have around") yet game critics would still rather nominate dull game like Mass Effect 2 Metal Gear Solid 4 with only 4 hours of gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=864WK54tCLk) for Game of the Year.

favorite open world game...

gta:sa

assasins creed 1 & 2

l.a. noire

Hmm, changed the poll. Well, Fallout 3 is definitely my answer to this one, as it truly is my favorite open world RPG, and probably my favorite game in general. All are awesome games, though I havn't played Oblivion.SoNin360

Yeah, I changed the poll because it's a new round- the first was less/under appreciated, this is RPG/FPS.

FFXII

From the list Borderlands
