I was wondering who would prefer and open world game vs. people who prefer linear games. Open world games are great for tackling objectives in different ways, but may not have alot of crazy scripted moments. They might be confusing too, like trying to find one place and getting utterly lost. Linear games on the other hand, might be easier for some people. There is alot less walking around , dazed and confused. There might be a whole lotta explosive scripted sequences too. It may give you less freedom though. I want to know your opinions forum readers!
I typically prefer linear since I know what to do most of the time, but I need both. Playing linear games can get old after a while.vashkey
i agree. i dont have a preference, though i want one with a good story. something like bioshock or fallout 3 both interest me, though if i had to choose one, i suppose linear as its better for storytelling.
I like both, but what I play normally depends on my mood. I tend to space out my open world games though and seldom play two in a row. I will sometimesget bored after playing open world games for so long, so I like to space it out some. I can beatmultiple linear games back-to-back though.
A balanced out one. Like Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, those for the most part tell you where to go during your quest but you have plenty of other things and side quests to do, but it still felt a little linear in a good way.
I prefer linear as well, I'm just not good at figuring out where to go and what to do...especially if the world is huge like fallout 3

But even in a open world game like Fallout 3, if you follow the storyline it becomes pretty linear. The option of doing side quests and exploring is what I like in open world games. But like already said, I like linear and open world games. Even though its great to dive into the depths of a whole different world in a game, that is vast and open like in Fallout 3 or Mass Effect, its a nice variety to play more straight-forward games where the tension and action are somewhat more tense.

open world is good, but i dont want it to be 'too' open if u get my drift. i like to know where im going and what my next objective is without having to do it right away. kind of like oblivion and fallout, there are always quests, but u dont need to do them in a specific order (other than the story related ones but thats a given) and you dont have to do them as soon as u get them
I prefer open world when I can explore and do things at my own pace. After playing so many open world games on 360 and PC, linear just feels to restrictive and boring now.
Open world by a long shot, although i play a lot of linear games also. i also think more games should be like fable II with the trail that you can follow if you get lost, its less confusing that way.
I prefer mostly linear games with a good story. But with open world games like GTA4 its hard to stick to linear games. So I think it depends on the game.
