Whats the most boring open world game you played this gen?

Hello friends,

So this generation is coming to end, and it was full of open world games and most of them are tedious. from witcher 3 to MGS5 to assassins creed to far cry to RDR2 etc. theres plenty of them. i would say GTA5 but it was technically last gen. Red dead 2 bored me as it focus more on graphics/animation than actual gameplay which is not very good. Rage 2 has most bland open world but its gunplay was great that assist by id software prevent it from making worst open world game.

the most boring open world game i played this gen is Far Cry 5

First they actually choose most boring setting in open world let alone far cry. far cry 2 setting africa was amazing so was tropical island in 3 but this game the whole urban setting was flatout boring. this game manage to make MGS5 world looks and feel good. then you have same type of missions like liberate this area, that area. this was the game that i only played for half n hour then uninstalled it.

theres plenty of boring open worlds but this one actually take a cake. for far cry 6 ubisoft need to choose interesting location and no more unskipabble cutscene.

so friends, the ending of this gen. which open world game remain most boring to you? lets discuss

For the most part I have been VERY happy with open world games this generation. I loved Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin's Creed Original, and Zelda Breath of the Wild very much.

That said there is ONE game that just......oh boy. That game is Fallout 76. I thought Fallout 76 was so bad it almost hurt.

Aside from that, I'm a happy camper!

Ubisoft

They're so boring and samey I can't even recall which one so I'll just go with all of them.

Metal Gear Solid 5. I'm sorry, but the world was incredibly boring. I understand it's set on Cyprus and Afghanistan, but my lord it was way too barren.

However, there are many examples. In my opinion, open-world design needs a lot of work. The only one I have high praise for is Witcher 3. Hopefully next gen we'll seen an evolution of the design, because it's one of my top 10 trends I hated this gen.

It's a tie between Far Cry: New Dawn and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. No surprise they are both Ubisoft games, they make a nice penny milking the open-world game genre/s.

Frankly I found Far Cry 5 a really nice trek through the American wilderness and small-town culture. But New Dawn somehow took that and made it boring.

Likewise, I found GR: Wildlands to be a gorgeous game, but somehow Breakpoint's open-world was really underwhelming.

I wouldn't say there have been many terrible open-world games....there have just been too many open-world games this generation. If any of the games above were unique, well, I'd probably love their game worlds. But the fact that they are ultimately the same and repetitive just make's it boring and unoriginal.

RDR2.

I love open-world games and this gen gave me no disappointments as far as open-world games goes, nor did I ever get bored. Unless you don't know the rules of not to get bored on playing open-world games, its really your own fault.

RDR2. I got it on release and played it for a few hours and was so bored. I'm gonna give that game another shot at some point. I loved the first one.

Metro, terrible bland world with weak gunplay and ton of cutscenes!

i love my open world games but at first the witcher 3 because it was very overwhelming at firs.t the world was so huge to me that i got lost for hours realizing that i did nothing in that time lol.

Gotta go with MGSV, my god is it boring, many open world games are borring and repetive but MGSV was the worst for me. The game was janky on top of having a bland borring setting.

Id argue it was even worse than anthem and that game sucked too.

we really need a new splinter cell game...

Right now im playing days gone. im liking it so far. the motorcycle is a fresh way to travel. it's not a horse lol.

Zelda BotW. Lots of nothing to do, sameness dungeons, and weapons breaking too fast making the game incredibly boring. You don’t even get a mount until about four hours in. Graphics are rather dull as well.

Ubisoft. Doesn't matter which one, they all played pretty much the same.

you have assassins creed. then there is assassins creed of FPS that is far cry, then modern day assassins creed that is watch dogs, then assassins creed in military that is ghost recon.

every game is same.

Ghost Recon Wildlands

It was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

Another huge, but soulless and empty, map. Another list of busy work you had to check off in order to get to the end villain. It was just your typical Ubisoft tosh.

This.

I mean from the trailers, and just, long before this Ubisoft had bastardized the IP beyond any remote familiarity, but when you actually play it, it's like how bad you conceive it in your mind, but somehow worse.

Got it super cheap on a sale, but even then, buying it to begin with was a dumb-dumb move.

Oh I think I am going to change my vote to this.

Was excited, part of the PC crowd that waited patiently, installed it....was super impressed by the graphics...but then. Nothing.

So boring.

It's like those rare people who are stunningly beautiful, but are so dumb or so terrible it makes them unattractive to the point you'd rather screw a sheep.

Watch Dogs is probably at the top of the list. I expected far more than it was. I had to force myself to beat the campaign. I skipped the sequel entirely.

RDR2

Metro Exodus

No one cares what you think.

Watch dogs.

Far cry primal god that was as boring as it gets.

Mad max.

Have to say Division 2 (didnt play the first). The gunplay was good, but after a time it was really samey and just a pointless grind. And I didnt like how the game assumes youre playing with friends as enemies didnt seem to scale to playing solo.

Mass Effect Andromeda. Holy f*cking shit.

Either MGSV, The Witness or Ghost Recon Breakpoint

Doom Eternal.

Some of y'all don't even know that the worst is, at least y'all games make sense with the open world and its setttings. FFXV is the most boring of this gen. The open world ain't really connected to the world at all. "We got gigantic monsters in the wild, but we have no soldiers/defense against them, just cuz. I will make my random gas station out here in the wild." Soul-less, lifeless, not even in the lore involved. WTF.

Not an open world game. more like semi open ended.

and its excellent.

Mad Max

@i_p_daily: Lol.

This gen's been perfect for boring open world games.

RDR2 easily. What a snooze fest. That campsite bullshit pushed me over the edge. Don't think I will even bother ever giving it another chance.

Metro Exodus is terrible! Mad max and far cry primal are also good contenders though!

Far Cry 4. A trash just like Far Cry 3, which is not as good as we remembered it. It's underwhelming, and FC4 is even worse. Tried them again recently.

Yeah far cry 3 was not that good. it was ok but suffer from just another modern shooter with QTE after QTE, see through walls, tagging enemies, long unskippable cutscene.

Far cry 2 was great.

Only open world game I can think of that I've played this gen that wasn't awesome, like Breath of the Wild, is AC: Origins. That game sucked. No idea why I thought an open world game from Ubisoft could be anything but pure crap. Total waste of 20 bucks.

from now all future ubisoft game will be open world RPG. I cant imagine how bad splinter cell would be if it turn into open world RPG where you choose between sam fisher and samantha fisher.

Dragon Age: Inquisition. A bland world filled with even more bland side quests. That game was the beginning of the end for Bioware as we knew it.

Other honorable mentions: MGS5 and The Division 2.

Thankfully, I avoided all Ubisoft open-world games after FC3.

If true, Ubisoft is dead to me. Such a shame, since they have the talent to create actual good stuff. Well, maybe not anymore. Wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft is a 100% clone game studio now. They have their templates for AC and FarCry games which they can use until people start noticing they're buying the same game every year and stops. Which (judging by Call of Duty) will take at least an eternity.

Red Dead 2. Oh my god was this game boring as hell.

Horizon Zero Dawn was pretty boring. Starts well and impresses by it's art direction but as you progress it offers little variety. One of the biggest disappointments of this gen IMO. In terms of game design it's even below Ubisoft standards. But overall it's still an ok game.

AC Origins. I love the world, and there's moments when you can see how it could have been a great game. But it just stretches it self too thin to an absurd level.

Not gonna complain too much, I like open world games. Exploration is my favourite thing in gaming and they usually are rewarding that way.

I was slightly interested in Horizon. You completely killed that off.

Why do you idiots keep responding to the same shitty threads that border on spam? God people here are dumb.

@Litchie: It looks good and robot dinosaurs are fun for a while. It's not as bloated as an Ubisoft game, not even close. But on the other hand you do the same thing over and over with very little nuance.

Climbing is super restricted and often uses invisible walls to deal with its bad level design.

But some people have it as one of the best games this gen. So to each its own.

Well it is SW after all, and he's clearly an alt and the mods give him a free pass, so what can you do?

Just Cause 3.

I just couldn't with that game and I loved Just Cause 2.
