You know what? I was reading an couple of reviews today on EmpireOnline (I'm a film freak, mostly), and I read about Ghostbuster, and Call of Jaurez. Here's what annoyed me.

Both reviews (from different people) were talking about how beautiful the games are. I personally love Westerns AND Ghostbusters, so these reviews were going so well for me. Until..

Towards the end of the reviews, both went the same way. "The only thing that lets these games down, is that both are linear games, and seem to funnel the player into a certain direction, unlike the open world gameplay of modern games.".

BOLLOX!!!!!!

I fucking have everyone comparing games to fucking GTA. is that the only game people can fucking think of nowerdays!!!??? I mean for fucks sake, was Sonic the Fucking hedgehog open world? No. Is Final Fantasy open world? Well...to a degree...yes but that's a bad example. What about fucking Mario, or Sega Rally? Was Alien Triliogy open world? No.

It's fucking silly. I mean why the hell is stealing cars and being able to go where you want, the standard of gaming quality? FFS. People don't seem to appreciate the time and the effort that developers go through, to make these next-gen games beautiful, visually. And they don't seem to understand that you have to put in some kind of effort in order to complete a fucking game.

FUUUUCK YOU STUPID FUCKERS. MAKE ME SO FUCKING ANGRY! AND THESE REVIEWERS ARE FUCKING GOING WITH IT TOO! STUPID FUCKING C-WORDS! IT'S THOSE TWATS THAT ARE STAGNATING TODAYS FUCKING GAMING MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linear to me is an on rails shooter. Most games reviews call linear, aren't.

linear = only one goal, very limited options to proceed.

That's not necessarily a bad thing though. In some games I want to be free to make my own choices and do what I want to. In other games I want the story to progress as intended and linear gameplay works well for me.

RPG's are the only games that should have a non-linear standard.

Linear is a funnelled single route through a game (most are) how well it is hidden is the trick there.

What we call open world are experiences where you can take any route to the same destination.

Without a goal, or being linear we would have nothing to do! Like Nobenobe boy if you removed girl.

Those reviewers are cockbites, to be sure. A game isn't bad because it's "linear".

However, I would say that "open world" is indeed becoming the new standard. Should every game be a GTA? Fuck no, and I will fight to the death anyone that says otherwise. But neither do I want every game to be a Sonic The Hedgehog experience, especially since the only people that knew how to do it right are no longer working their magic.

Have my babies!

Open world are a new(ish) type of game, and I agree it's the craze since Grand Theft Auto but not all games should be judged by this.

Gears of War was very linear in terms of story progression, as was God of War and Ninja Gaiden. I could say racing games are also, but that's the nature of the game. But that's also the nature of Call of Jaurez and Ghostbusters.

Me and Smokey need to start reviewing for Empire magazine!!!

The day that one of us can afford to leap across the pond, then I shall have your babies. And as long as that spot on Empire pays, I'm in. :yes:
