I'm just interasted in what peoples favorite open world style game is. you know like fallout3,oblivion,GTA4 or farcry 2. You dont have to say but it would be great if you could post your resones or the things about the game you liked over the others. And bare in mind this is NOT a game recommendation thread ;).
Open world games are probly my favorite type of game. I like the sense of exploration they give me. but only when done right, and by that i mean that the game needs to have a lot of things in the open world. lots of side quest and NPC's to interact with.I cant really say i have a favorite my self, i think it would be very close between oblivion and fallout 3. i love the D&D/LotR's setting in oblivion and its such a guge world to play in. but I found that the vast majority of the NPC's just seemed to lack personality. If you have talked to one high elf or orc youv pretty much talked to them all. Fallout 3 had the most unique setting. It was like a cross between the movies Madmax beyound thunder dome,Nuck'em high and the postman lol. Also the NPC's were pretty dang cool. And the humor was really great and off the wall. I'll neverforget hearing the guy in megaton saying "come,drink from the waters of the glow" LOL.
Farcry 2 was pretty good but at the same time a huge letdown for me. As iv said before the game had great potental but it seemed it needed polish. The devs had some great ideas but they just did not follow threw very well. The game was often very tedious to play and just lacked varity and or depth to its world. If theyhad added factions that was eather friendly or hostal towards you depending on your actions would have been cool instead of basicly every one wanting to shot you on site. also animals that would attack you like lions ect.
