Top 5 Open World Games Coming In 2017-2018

With new and powerful hardware being released almost every day, the potential to render larger and larger video game worlds is becoming possible. In the past few years we have seen some of the epic video games with huge open worlds.

I'm so excited for Assassin's Creed Origins. Can't wait to explore Ancient Egypt

"Ancient Egypt". You might be disappointed, mate. The game is set at 49 B.C.E with Cleopatra just 19 years before the mighty Roman Empire conquers the territory in 30 B.C.E. In fact, she was the last Pharaoh the territory would ever see. Heck the last Pyramid ever constructed was 700 years before these events. So saying you can explore Ancient Egypt in this game is like saying "I can't wait to play a game about the new world" and the game taking place in 1760--kinda loses the magic.

I don't mean to steal any excitement but when people think ancient Egypt, they often think of a time predating western civilization and traditions--but those started 480 B.C.E with the the Greek Classical period.

In fact the date puts the Roman Empire closer to their height than the Egyptian territory which again, was on the way out. I wouldn't at all be surprised if the game's narrative heavily focused on the encroaching Romans with heavy themes of tradition, "who we are", and changing of the times motifs.

What is this intelligent reply? Where is the trolling or the stupidity? But really, there is some good stuff in that there comment.

GTA online desperately needs competition, they have practically monopolized the genre.
