Witcher 3 I’d rate 9/10.
Comment on Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide
jacksilver@lemmy.world 9 months agoI’m curious, what open world games do you rate as a 9 or 10? I’m not saying Hogwarts did anything revolutionary, but it did most things pretty solidly. It’s been a while since Ive played an open world game that does a good job on making the world actually feel alive.

Subnautica gets a 9/10. Fallout 2 and 3, if we’re specifically going RPGs. NieR: Automata for action RPGs. Look at Persona for school influenced RPGs. I’d have geeked out so hard if we got even Persona-style class experiences in Hogwarts Legacy. Instead, all we get is completely contextless montage cutscenes.

Yeah I wish Hogwarts Legacy had taken more inspiration from Persona. Having a schedule, working on social links, engaging in fun activities outside of school, it all lends itself incredibly well to a Hogwarts game.
Unfortunately it sounds like the creators haven’t ever even touched a Persona game. I remember before the game launched they were asked if there’d be romance options, and they seemed almost offended by the thought since the characters are kids, despite Persona doing so for literal decades.
Going to a ball in Hogwarts Legacy, or going on a date in Hogsmead, would’ve been so much fun too.

Imagine that, teens dating… What a wild concept.

Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 are both up there for me.

Not the person you asked, but for me personally to rate some open world games:

What do you even mean by this? Artificial gameplay?
Carighan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No like… it feels pretty obvious they weren’t that way originally, if that makes sense? That this got changed after the game was already out for a while, this wasn’t how it was designed at first?

I got Subnautica for free twice (PlayStation and Epic), I should really look at giving it a proper try. I have the feeling it’d be really good in VR, played No Man’s Sky in VR recently and I immediately loved it while on flatscreen it didn’t click with me as much.

Subnautica is a masterpiece.
