Top 10 Open World Games

Call them open world or sandbox games—either title gives a good idea of the freedom that this particular genre allows. Open world games usually have a main storyline that the player can follow, but their main defining feature is having a large world that can be traversed freely by the player character, albeit often at the player's own peril.

Just Cause 2 ???

That game was MASSIVE and amazing

RIPSKATEDESTROY5339d ago

its one guys opinion, not the world

JonahNL5339d ago

I am shocked Just Cause 2 is not on this list. I consider it to be the best sandbox game ever made, in terms of freedom and humor. You're rewarded for messing around and not a lot of open world games actually do that.

TopDudeMan5339d ago (Edited 5339d ago )

I think just cause 2 should be on there. Definitely a great game. So that's 2 guys opinions.

I don't think fallout should be there. Much less number one, because elder scrolls and GTA both kick it's ass.

I'd have san andreas as my number one, followed by oblivion, then just cause 2. All for different reasons.

Edit: @BitbyDeath I know, how did they miss that?

JaredH5339d ago

Just Cause 2 should have been on the list but I would of picked Elder Scrolls over Fallout any day too.

Black-Helghast5339d ago

Final Fantasy 7?..Anyone?.. knvm.

HEY, WHERES INFAMOUS 2?!

saladthieves5339d ago (Edited 5339d ago )

Should have made the list bigger, like top 20, then included in some obvious titles like Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood.

Hmm.. Just cause 2, the king of draw distance. XD

Just cause 2 should be #1 and the fact its not even on the list is shocking

mandf5339d ago

I agree it should be on the list but not number 1.

EazyC5339d ago

Wheres Crackdown 1?

Play that and tell me its not one of the greatest sandbox games ever.

gamernova5339d ago

Dead island should be up there too.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing20d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit20d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing20d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
