When it comes to world design, what do you prefer? Open world, linear world or branching linear world? If it was in my hands... I would ban every developer from doing open world games. I can't think of a single game other than Outer Wilds where the open world actually added anything to the game...

Hm, I tend to prefer linear world overall. I don’t immediately go for an open world game, narratively speaking I’ve been burned before (cyberpunk and BG3 being exceptions). But I agree w/you. Now, it’s used as a marketing ploy that it takes away from other components and just saturates what could’ve been.

My favorite world design is in CRPG games like Wasteland 2. It includes a hub-based world and overworld travel. Your choices can impact each hub, changing the balance of power and affecting the story and character interactions.

I would not ban it entirely. In some games the freedom of choice was great. Rdr with a linear World would not be as good as it was. Kinda limited like the old assasins creed games would work for most

Open-world design is great for epic adventure games like Skyrim (i know you hate it lol) giving a sense of adventure… with a ton of dungeons to explore. But many games (prolly assassin’s creed?) struggle with empty, uninspiring open worlds where there is nothing to do!

Preferably branching linear or divided into chapters where every chapter is open. Open worlds aren't doing it for me, Witcher 3 being an exception

gotta admit that there are decent open world games such TES: Skyrim or The Witcher 3, where the open world is saturated with exciting side-quests that allow you to immerse yourself in the game world even further however nowadays most of the open world games suck, and I try to avoid them most of the time 🥲

I recently watched the film “Ready Player One”, such an open world, I’m even afraid😬

Open world is really hard to pull off, best examples for me are Rain World and Outer Wilds. With time I ended up hating open or semi open worlds. For example I hated the semi-open areas of the new God of War. Loved just rushing through the story

i appreciate open worlds when they're done right, ik how you feel about elden ring but exploring that world was just amazing to me, i think ds1 is the perfect world design because it all loops back together eventually

Open world is the 'end game', though it won't reach full maturity until AI becomes more useful/integrated in fleshing out stories and/or coding. As of now, games and stories are limited by their human creators. That will change soon and Witcher 3, cyberpunk, etc will never end.

Each has its own advantages, the open world is free to explore but it reduces the necessary plot and story depth, making us more wandering. I also have the same opinion as you.
