As I get older, I notice that the open world formula is tiring! I much prefer a linear game told well than the same game with add-ons.

I was looking forward to Days Gone. I haven't had it spoiled for me, so I picked it up and when I realized it was open world, it killed my enthusiasm for it.

I just can't go hours on end forever just because.

For me, open worlds are almost a Nay! I've heard great things about Days Gone, and I want to play it, but the amount of time it will take to go through the story, because it's open world, I don't know. I get tired just to think about it.

What about you? Do you enjoy open-world games? Do you seek them?

    Arma is an interesting example. I'd say that it is only an open world game in some scenarios, and often times is a linear game that happens to have a big map and sandbox.

    In any case, I'd agree that it having a large world with many possibilities is important for the gameplay and ability to mod/create content across the maps.
