Pretty rare for me to really dig HUGE games these days.<br /><br />Nerves> AGREE<br /><br />Warstub> Agree with your points. A map full of bullshit collect-a-thons just ain't gonna get it done any more. The wicther has really raised the bar for future games IMO.Brad Gallawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452185302281177580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-37291737632499930832015-11-20T14:11:46.141-08:002015-11-20T14:11:46.141-08:00Quite fascinating the unpredictable quality of big...Quite fascinating the unpredictable quality of big budget games, especially with regards to campaign vs open-world wandering. Before The Witcher 3 was released and other games like AC were filling maps up with collectables and side missions, I made the point that these games needed to focus more on 2-3 semi-main quests that surround the main quest as enjoyable campaigns on their own and complemented the main story, with collectibles most likely to be found while completing those quests.<br /><br />For me personally, it's just more fuel to look for more single player campaign games. Like Morgan above, I too am in a full-time job and don't have the time available I once used to.

This "AAA" or bust mindset has really soured me on games. Being in my mid-30's with a full-time job and a family, it is a miracle in itself finding time to switch on a console. It doesn't hep that the experience does not even begin immediately as you have to download umpteen patches to get the the game.
