I completed the game twice and the first time at almost 100%, i really had fun with it and i recommend it. It's not GTA V, but a great GTA-clone none the less.
The problem with MGSV is that the open worlds are nothing more than playgrounds. It's Afghanistan in the 80;s, yet there are no people herding animals, no villages with Afghanis in them, no people period except for the soldiers in checkpoints and strongholds. There are hardly any animals even. This was one of the most crazy places on Earth in the 80;s, and yet there aren't any Muhjadeen fighters going against the Russians. You can really tell the plug got pulled on Kojima by Konami like 2/3 of the way through.
I don't totally agree, i felt The Witcher 3 was an amazing game, but at the sametime something in the open world was still missing, it wasn't really so amazing how it could have been, i felt more amazed playing for the first time at GTA V. Even Metal Gear Solid V lacked in some way on the open world side. I think that mixing The Witcher 3 story with MGSV gameplay and GTA V open world would make a fantastic game. Open World games must still improve for sure, but GTA V, The Witcher 3 and MGSV are without any doubts some of the best of the genre and three of the best games i have ever played.
PS I played Batman Arkham Knight too but i don't see it too much as an open world game, or let's say that even if it's right to consider the game that, it's just not comparable with the open worlds of the three games i mentioned before in my post.
