Im tired of collecting and managing. Im playing Ghost of Tsushima, and I just cant let myself enjoy it because I obsessively do side quests and find stuff to upgrade. Honestly all the big adventure games these feel like they pull from the same formula, its all just different skins for The Witcher 3. This is why fromsoft games are so much more memorable imo, look at the experience playing sekiro vs ghost of tsushima.

    I was absolutely done with that shit by Assassin's Creed 3 almost 10 years ago

    If I see the words "open world" in a game's description I run far away. Bring back linear 10-15 hour single player games

      a shorter game with more memorable shit? Sign me up. Sekiro has maybe 4 side quests, but everything in it adds so much value, you have a combat system that you can sink your teeth into and discover new things whenever you fight the bosses. In Tsushima? Just hacking through hundreds of the same enemy.

        Yeah, I have no problem with Rockstar-style sandboxes or the concept of open worlds in video games, just the kind filled with boring time wasting sold as "content" pioneered by Ubisoft in the late 360 era

      Totally agree. Plus they're the easiest to go back to and replay I find. Being able to run the same game in different ways and know every in and out after a few play through a ruled. You gradually mastered the game at your own pace
