Are people starting to wake up to the fact that open world design is nothing but a fucking waste of the player's time?

It's so retarded. Dark Souls and Bloodborne had incredible atmosphere without having you walk for miles of empty content and copy pasted padding. I hate open world tards so much.

the hateboner Any Forums has on open world games is unjustified. just because assassins creed and rdr2 suck it doesn't mean that good developers cannot make it work. when done right, open world is a plus, and both user reception and the sales speak for themselves.

Its not done right, after the first half you keep running into the same recycled bosses and enemies a million times, making exploration feel like tedious padding.

Ubidoft games have good reception and sales too, retard.
>muh done right
Exactly, if done right is shit like , then it's a shit genre that needs to die.

i cant

It's no masterpiece.

This is the best game I’ve ever played, it makes every other open world seem like dog shit, you are most likely just an absolutely seething tendie

I like it but I am worried they'll never be able to make a non-open game again because people will see it as a step back, even though it's just different.

>I can't accept people thinking a game is made worse by having an added element of the player needing to skip 20 to 60% of its content instead of just playing tge damn thing

Holy shit tendies really are seething that they can’t play this game huh?

Not everything is supposed to be relevant in an open world.
You're supposed to learn what to ignore.

Tendies nonstop shill BOTW, which is also open world garbage, though. Stop deflecting.

The problem is that content can never be unique because it's always more efficient for devs to just repeat it, and then that takes away your sense of wonder at exploring. When you start in Limgrave it's all exciting and fresh, you don't know what you will find and everything is novel. By the time you hit the third area you're not thinking "wow! I have no idea what is out there and can't wait to find out!", you're thinking "ah, there's some ruins, so I know there's stairs and a fight/chest underneath...there's the glowing candlestick, I know the ghost will take me to a cave...there's a hunchback statue, he will point me at catacombs...ah, a church, time to fight a buffed regular enemy inside and get a sacred tear...there's the erdtree, let's beat the avatar guy and get the physik tear" etc etc. And this is when it gets boring. A good open world game would for every new area introduce a whole new range of activities but the work involved in coming up with ideas and then actually realising them is too time and resource-consuming. So every open world devolves into tedium after the first area.

It's an open world, the vast majority is supposed to be irrelevant most of the time.

How is skipping content supposed to be a plus in this game, as opposed to the obvious minus it is?

Yeah, that is why it's a shit genre that shouldn't exist. Let alone be considered an upgrade over the absence of filler and padding.
