The Top 10 Sandbox/Open-World Games

DaxGamer - "Gamers have all sorts of tastes. Some of us can't wait for the next yearly iteration of our favorite sports game, and others can't seem to pry their eyes from their TV screens as they incessantly play Call of Duty through the night. The gaming industry is so full of creative ideas and choices, and we, as gamers, are very fortunate for this. But, if you're like me, you like creating your own chaos, your own story, and your own experience a little more than linear games with point A to point B levels back and forth. In light of this, I've compiled a list of my favorite open-world/sandbox games."

Mass effect 3 at 3, mass effect 2 at 2? wow id of had san andreas/red dead above them for sure.

TiberusX874684d ago

They're also missing Just Cause 2. That is honestly the most underrated open world game of this generation. It has it's faults, but not many games are that fun.

Moncole4684d ago

exploding stuff up and jumping out of a jet or standing on it is so much fun.

ian724684d ago

Yep, Just Cause 2 is very good game. Had many hours just messing around with that game. Story's not very good but the gamepley, size of map and things to do and see make up for it.

hilmart4684d ago

No Minecraft?
No San Andreas?

Terrible List.

laid2rest4684d ago

Bullshit list. People above me have already pointed out the errors.

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher20d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast18d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic18d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee19d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator18d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast18d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.

GTA Vice City Remade with GTA 4 Rage Engine Released onto the Internet

GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition brings all the missions, the whole map, and content from the original game to the RAGE Engine. This is an incredible project that all Vice City fans will appreciate.

GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition has an improved version of the city – and weapons – from the Definitive Edition. All the cars from the Xbox version of the original game will be present here. Additionally, all the models of all characters and peds will be from the Xbox version. From what we know, there are no plans to increase their polygon count. However, all 3D characters will have better textures.

All the original radio stations will also be present in this unofficial remaster. And although the project will have the cut-scenes and the style of the original game, it will also pack better particle effects and some lighting improvements.

As said, GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition started as a mod. However, it’s now available as a standalone free project. All you have to do is download and play it. The project does no longer require the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

As the modding team behind it stated:

“Initially, the modification was planned to require the original game in order to show respect to the publisher. However, over the past two days, we have completely rebuilt the project, and it is now available as a standalone “installation-ready package”. Just download, install, and play. There are no issues with version compatibility since the mod is now fully autonomous.”

Here’s a TLDR of what happened. Two days before the release of GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition, Take-Two Interactive deleted the YouTube channel of the modding team. As Revolution Team claimed, Take-Two did this without any warning or attempt to contact them. So, from the looks of it, the team felt betrayed by this move. As such, it decided to give the middle finger to Take-Two, create a new YT channel, and release the mod as a standalone project.

"it decided to give the middle finger to Take-Two, create a new YT channel, and release the mod as a standalone project." ~ how it should be :)

gigoran899d ago

the link in the article goes nowhere. what am I missing?

The_Blue99d ago

Rockstar not going to like this

jkuli699d ago

THIS would be the remaster we need.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

"Take-Two will do its best to take down the video and the download link." They can go fuck themselves, it's good it's a torrent file now I have it, will download it seed and post it on Take-Twos twitter account. I want to rub it in their face and piss them off. Hopefully this will spread on torrent sites then it's too late for anyone to do anything I love it lol.
