JesseSoundI think most open world games suffer from the same problem. Or really, it’s I who suffers from the same problem. You progress to the point where the whole world opens up for you to explore, all the challenges and trials, things to collect, side quests to complete, people to meet… and I’m paralyzed. The realization that I only have so much free time and this game has now demanded hours of it. Days of it. The comfort has been eroded and repaired with doubt, uncertainty. #gaming #openworld #games
Sven (retired)@JesseSound The way I (try to) see it: I don't have to walk every path in a forest to enjoy a hike through it. I'll just take the paths that look interesting at the moment and are approximately leading in the direction I want to go. :) It's about enjoying the journey right now, not about the completion score or when the credits will roll.
It might've been differently in the past when we had more time or played smaller-scope games.
That being said, open world doesn't have to be for everyone. :D
