Why don't the japanese like open world games?

>Way of the samurai is closed off
>Yakuza is closed off
>Tenchu games are closed off

These games could benefit so much more with more exploration. Games like dragons dogma are open world, and made by Japanese but targeted towards a western audience.

So why is it so hard for them to make an open world game about Japan?

Is there no interest?

Is it really that small of a country?

Why does Japan have such a hardon for eastern medival culture? (I.E. berserk/dragons dogma/final fantasy)

because look at FFXV and MGS5

For that matter, why do westerners adore open world games?

To me, Mario 64 did "open world" correctly. Big enough to explore, small enough to stay contained and fill your world with actual shit to do.

I mean seriously, FFXV and MGSV all require extensive amounts of travel across NOTHING to do anything in the game, which is alleviated by the fact that games like these allow you to skip all of that nonsense by fast-traveling. Doesn't fast-traveling defeat the purpose of exploration? Face it, you don't want open-world exploration and you never did.

Open world games are fucking tedious walking simulators often with horrible gameplay. Westerns will keep eating that garbage up I'm sure.

Westaboo games don't count

For one, the lush environments, the little explorable villages and towns, a sense of exploration and immersion.

For once I'd like a game like way of the samurai as big as the witcher 3 or at least skyrim. I never got to visit Japan and can't even play a videogame to explore a fantasy version of it. Shrines, cherry blossom trees, intricate little shops, villages, forests, it all makes a difference.

go outside if you want immersion
nigga

The U.S. is boring, theres no fucking culture here.

I'd rather have another way of the samurai than another linear storyline empty open world game.
