Well thank god we resolved this issue! Seriously... the division felt more than big enough.

It's not the size that counts, amirite fellas?

Conclusion: All 3 games are pretty big. People complained pre-release about Fallout 4 not being big based on some early measurements but it feels big when you're trying to get across it.

I don't understand this infatuation with map size. I'm a bit weary of exceedingly big maps that force devs to attempt to flesh it out with content, which more often than not leads to monotonous copy and pasted content, or just large swathes of nothing. I'd much rather have a world that's built wherein every section serves a purpose by being filled with content that either serves to drive the narrative, or to expand upon a gameplay mechanic. All of these open worlds become tedious after a while when they are big, "Just Cause". (Pun intended) The person above that mentioned Just Cause 3 gave the perfect example of a game with a map that could stand to cut out at least 50% of it's geography. I like Tomb Raider's approach, and I also prefer more open ended linear style levels such as the recent Wolfensteins, and the perfect example for me would be Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I can't wait for Uncharted 4... room to explore some, a sense of scale that feels open, but everything will be placed with a purpose. I just don't know who has the time for all of these open worlds. I am never against more content, I just feel as though it's actually diluting the quality of some games, and hampering devs ability to create actual meaningful content, because everyone seems to feel as though they have to have a big open world as if it's a barometer for quality. To see people's infatuation with size in games you need look no further than people on here who have laughably presumed that a game will be quality upon seeing the reveal of a large install size... Lol.

Why didn't he run for all comparisions? Stupid!

When you factor out the areas you cannot traverse in Skyrim, Fallot 4 is compatible in map size. I personally was satisfied with the Fallout 4 map size.

Perhaps people expect a larger map size for The Division because it's an MMO. Perhaps the blogger should have used better comparisons such a WOW or FF or SWTOR or Planetside 2 or 7 Days 2 Die or Dayz or Ark?
