So just fuck AC 2 and Brotherhood, huh?
Hey everyone, thank you all for checking out the list and sharing your favorite open world experiences! Looking forward to 2020 with games like CyberPunk, Dying Light 2 and FF7 Remake to scratch that adventuring itch!
Wow. No love for days gone????
Glad to see Morrowind on here. I dont think BotW is the second best open world of all time though. :/
imagine writing "odyssey is the best ac" and 10 people that check the scrip say ok.
The mass effect(whole)should be in it, it’s basically an open universe.
"I love the freedom and detail that open worlds offer"
Chooses one of the most restrictive and static open worlds as the #1. What a joke.
Honourable mention Saints Row 4 oh and 3 oh and 2 oh and 1
When did dark souls become open world?
wooot saw number 1 b4 list started. I wonder if cyberpunk2077 will be on a 2020 goty
To behonest red dead 2 desverves to be in the top 3 not seven
Lol , rdr2 should be number 1
Botw is my number 1.
Zelda breath of the wild is a way better crafted game than witcher 3. The people who worked on Witcher also worked on cyberpunk and cyberpunk sucks in terms of physics and animation. GTA IV is better Cyberpunk and it came out in 2008. Botw should be on the top spot for best game in terms of open world. I know you guys make bad lists but this one is definitely bad ass hell. Spider-Man PS4 and Horizon Zero Dawn should definitely be higher too.
Rdr2 should be first
Agreed Its
witcher 3
10:21 damn that boar got owned
Rdr2 is #1 for me
I’m disliking Bc minecraft isn’t 1
Better to check Metacritic grades for open world games than this arbitrary list.
I don’t understand why GTA V is higher than red dead redemption 2
Come on witcher not that great zelda and dark souls waaaay better than witcher
1. Red dead redemption 2
2. The Witcher 3
3. Red dead redemption
4. Ghosts of tsushima
5. AC black flag
I came here to see Minecraft then I left
Rdr2 should undoubtly be in top#3 at least
Gta v up rdr2 ???????
Are you fucking kiding me ?????
MARVEL SPIDER-MAN CAME 14?!?!
What Happened to Spider Man PS4? Seriously, No Offence But IMO That is something that should be remember as soon as you say "Open World."
Red dead redemption 2 is the best game ever
I only ever play open world games
Morrowind and New Vegas in there over their more popular franchise versions? Much respect. This is a great list.
I just want a city RP game Ik there is GTA servers that already do that but I want an actual game where you go in a city and buy and apartment maybe start a business or get a job I can only sit and hope someone has the same mindset as me 🤷🏽♂️
Hethemmmmmm god of war cough cough
Red dead redemption 2 really awesome and great western game all time to
Where
Is
No
Man’s
Sky?
Crazy to think the top 2 and 1 you can play on Nintendo switch!!!!
Umm… most would argue that BOTW is the best open world game
simpsons hit n run is nostalgia on another level…
What if the real world is just a open world game for aliens
Horizon Zero Dawn is for sure a Top 5
Nah Middle Earth SOW was better
Dying light , Shadow
I bought The Witcher at the beginning of the year and I still haven’t finished it. Mind you I got stuck in a part that won’t let me get out, so now I have to play it from the start lol. I don’t mind since I wasn’t that far into the game and it is an AMAZING game.
I think that in this list you put to much "most influencal games" than "the best". TES Morrowind may be the most influencal in the series but pales in comparison to Oblivion or even more to Skyrim. Also AC series should be consider two seperate series. It would save much pain in the ass for "classic" Assassins Creed fans and save them much time arguing with people (who like me) loves new games more. In truth I dont want to explore secrets of Horizon: Zero Dawn (you want to hear this). Witcher 3 on first spot is great pick for me, but I trully love that you include Subnautica. This game have unique setting and it is the scariest underwater game of all time (far more than boring SOMA or unfinished Debris). You should also include Gothic 2 video game, this tittle create great dark fantasy world, with "living characters" far before Witcher 1 was relased and with Gothic 1 strongly inspired CDP Red to create Witcher series.
Kingdom come ?
Subnáutica should be higher for sure
Mafia 2 also deserves in this list
First off, I disagree that New Vegas is the best Fallout, when its Fallout 3
That being said, I have 4 of the top-5 games and 8 of the top-10 so I apparently really like open world games. Of the ones I *dont* have, I want: Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Zelda BOTW
3 Wiedźmin 3 najlepszy
Maybe Skyrim get all of the credit but it should be at least named in the top 10 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
