Assassin's Creed 4 has the best open world of any game ever

Fight me about it.

>A boring empty world with checkbox sidemissions
Man, I dont really like that.

Legendary ships, treasure hunts, random encounters, hunting, Templar hunts, forts, diving stuff. Fun side stuff

Come on now. I had a blast with the game but the open world wasn't the best thing ever.

this
taking down forts and the legendary ships was so much fun

>mfw asscreed was 8-15 dollars this sale but my backlog is too fucking huge
maybe christmas time...

The open world is honestly terrible.

You can visit maybe 25% of the suggested game world. Most of the huge islands have nothing on them put a small port, and the other 75% of the island is empty and inaccessible.

Then name some examples and explain

Apparently OP hasn't played The Witcher 3

I like how the map was pretty big and there were the cities inside of it, plus getting out of your ship any time you wanted, it was neat.

Assassins Creed 4 was a fun treat as far as that series goes, but don't get ahead of yourself.

Witcher 3s open world was fucking garbage

Literally nothing but guarded treasures and caches

>open world
you mean "open" sea

That 25% contains 3 major cities and countless smaller locations. That game isn't to scale of the actual Caribbean, it's made to be easily traverse in a ship

What's wrong with them? I usually set aside time to go ? hunting to make some money.
It's sorta like I'm grinding for gold but it's not boring to me or anything.
Also it's THE most beautifully crafted open-world game in existence. That is fact. I just want to live in Geralt's world. I want to die in his world too!

I unironically agree

It's a brilliant game and the only time I've enjoyed an AC game. The map isn't what's amazing so much as the method of traversing it.

Well worth the sale price for the amount of content. I highly recommend it (but not the rest of the series).

You explained AC4. And AC was 80% water

I have and played way more of it than AC4. I just wasn't all that impressed

What's your favorite open world game?

Apparently everyone in this thread hasn't played GTA V

I don't really know

there is something called side quest, which (and you won't believe it) are making the Witcher 3 open world great

The Witcher 3 has 1 rule: It is not an everything goes game. It is more like a medieval world with "magic".

The Witcher 3 isn't probably your game. But if you compare The Witcher 3 with GTA or Skyrim, you will see, that they are all "boring" outside their main/side quest (if you don't like just exploring the game for the view).

...

At least have a respectable opinion like the Witcher 3 or GTA IV

GTA V has objectively the most well crafted open world of all time.

name ONE compelling open world.

...

Witcher 3's world is repetitive and samey, GTA IV's has nothing to do.

>IV
>muh finicky ragdoll physics

IV was objectively awful.

>Using the word objectively to describe a video game.

Back to TotalBiscuit's facebook page with you

Argue your opinion or fuck off

First time I went through W3's world it was pretty exciting

Same for NV and FO3

NV and F3 have the ugliest open worlds of all time honestly

I found it way more interesting to look at and go around over GTA V. Much more dense and well plotted.

Time to move over, Ass Creed.

Not arguing with someone retarded. The best map in GTA series is SA, followed by IV. The end.

I think we all it won't look like that on a Wii U, maybe when NX comes out. Also who the fuck gave it that cancerous edit?

Ubisoft is definitely known for creating fun and enjoyable video game worlds

>The best map in GTA series is SA,
Take off the nostalgia goggles dude

they're ugly, but they're filled with pretty interesting locations and "dungeons"

>I've never played a Bethesda game

SA's open world is like a mentally disabled child's version of V's though, it's tiny and looked fucking horrible even in 2004

GTA IV looks like muddy shit. Seriously the faces look like they are made out of playdough and wrapped in saran wrap. Its ugly. Also GTA IV has way less to do than GTA V.

Meh. The game feels incomplete and the online mode is a fucking money-grubbing mess.

How could the map be so large and at the same time offer so little content?

You know what, no matter people's opinion I'm proud of you guys. Not one faggot has said MGSV.

you shouldn't be proud with this many people defending assassin's meme

> SA Looked horrible in 2004
Get fucked kid

GTAV has a large pretty world, but there is absolutely nothing to fucking do with it. Rockstar jewed out and spent their dev time peddling bullshit for the online.

OP already did.

Far Cry 2, Shenmue and Deadly Premonition are other ones.

Nah, niggers.
>that rural area, exploring the towns and settlements
>the desert bit, flying around with the hydra or doing stunts
>the three major cities, awesome to explore
>hearing about creepy pastas like big foot or aliens and searching for them

Y'all must be spending too much time on Gta online, it's fucking with your head.

How would you guys rate sleeping dogs?

I wasn't defending GTA V's world. It somehow manages to feel incredibly empty compared to it's predecessor

Batman arkham knight. Absolutely gorgeous even on consoles, big enough to be impressive, yet small enough not to be tedious. Takes only a few minutes to get from one end to the other because they give you fast, fun ways to get around

I never wanna have to break memories but imma stand my ground here.

Yes, and?
>le bigger the better!
Let me guess, Skyrim is the best game ever released because it has "infinite" quests then? Or Minecraft, since its map is also "infinite"?
Retard.

Oh, must have misread your post. Yeah, I wouldn't say it feels empty, it just feels like you can't do anything with it and what little you can do is an empty experience.

The most offensive bullshit about GTAV is the paywall fucked online mode. Fuck that shit. I spent $45 on GTAV and I think $10 on black flag (might've been $7.50) but after playing both I would happily pay the GTA price for BF and I wouldn't buy GTAV for more than $5. It was good but the game is to short and has to little content to keep it interesting if you aren't ready to get fucked by their online paywall.

Funny thing, I started playing a few days ago, fun game. The world is heavily inspired by by the 90s Batman movies and has got that neo noir feel to it. However I'm not really impressed by the variety of the world's content

> 1/4 map sized compared to GTAV
> 10Xs the content.

I easily put 100+ hours into SA. I put 20 into GTAV including 3 hours of attempting the online before realizing it was a scam. Black Flag was a much better purchase

>no argument
Alas, we are done here.

...

>he's a stupid fucking frogposter
Alas, we are done here.

>legendary ships
Sorry but the ship combat in this game is simplistic and gets boring incredibly fast.

Nothing is comfier than slowly sailing while listening to sea shanties on a sunset

>Witcher 3 has a better open world than GTA V

>GTA anything
>respectable opinion

Ubisoft makes horrible open worlds. Yeah there's shit to do, but it rarely feels like any fun.
The world often feels very static too, like you can't really have much fun beyond starting fights with guards.

What a fucking joke, the world is all grey and your choice for areas to fuck around in are grey city blocks, grey city blocks or maybe some more grey city blocks.

Usually Ubisoft can suck my dick just for forcing their Uplay shit on me when Im already using steam DRM.

This sale I buy FarCry 4
>never played FarCry game

Refunded. Fuck Ubisoft
