The Future Of Open World Games 

The quality of these videos just gets better and better and I totally agree. TOTK and Elden Ring have really pushed the genre to evolve and it’s great to see, especially considering how much potential the open world format has.

You're right. The best part of TotK, the thing that really sells the world to me, and that also make it feel more like a Zelda game are.. The caves and wells. Even if there's not much there, you never really know what's there before you explore them, and then ascending out makes it all feel like a real place rather than different levels cut off from the rest of the world.

Damn as a creator you’re just evolving more and more. I really appreciate how you lean into your strengths with each video. You’re a shortish-form RU-vidr who actually makes interesting points, but you don’t spend unnecessary time on them and move along, not constantly tossing an over-the-top joke into every 5 seconds but staying generally humorous and lighthearted over the course of the video. Almost reminds me of Dunkey but you’ve got your own thing going on. Keep it up man, you’ve been doing great.

I honestly wish that tears of the Kingdom had people in the depths, and or the sky, and while there is evidence of them existing in the past, it would be awesome if there was like a settlement or something in a safe corner of the depths or a Rito outpost in the sky

How awesome would it be if SLOCLAP made an open world game. I can already imagine more than 10 biomes based on the levels of Sifu. I can think the city slums from the first level that would somehow be connected to the gardens of Fajar, the first boss, and a bunch of bamboo forests. Imagine a city in the night full of nightclubs and arenas, with some a few blazing buildings to fit the theme of the second level. Imagine a biome full of museums and artistic stuff, and another biome full of snowy blizzards. I can also imagine a biome that is just one building that is connected to a huge underground city, relating to the 4th level. I know that this may be messy for an open world game, but I think that this structure would work in a Yakuza style open world game, where it really is handcrafted. Or have it like elden ring the first parts of each level of s Sifu are like the normal open world areas that you would explore in, and then have legacy dungeons based on the bosses levels. Like a legacy dungeon full of gardens and distinct bamboo forests, one full of blazing arenas, another full of snow and that beautiful water arena of Kuroki, the corporate building of Jinfeng, and legacy dungeon that kinda looks like Yang's level. I know this is all so messy, but I think it would be cool.

The survey sounds like fun. I wish I could do it on my phone in this waiting room.

This was a really good surgery advertisement!!

9:15... Bro thats arkham city 😂

The Depths are 90% empty land you just skip over to get to the next slightly interesting thing and the sky islands, that aren't part of dungeons or the starting area, have a serious case of copy paste repetition going on. The same way you say Hogwarts would have been better without most of the world, TOTK would have been better cutting the depths down to smaller separate areas centered around a dungeon or two plus the coliseums. And the other sky islands just needed more origininality, they certainly had enough time.

So close to 10k, lets go

I would like a Harley Quinn game like Saints row.

What an amazing video. Simple, sweet to the point. Can't agree more on any of your points. Really just commenting for the algorithm tbh. PS. I did the survey. Your first born shall be named s1n. Final offer. 😘

Hi Asad! I answered your survey and I gotta say, those games were really fun.

Is it too late for me to complete the survey?

Good stuff

This has been on my mind for so long. Got burnt out on Skyrim, Fallout etc, because of this "as far as the eye can see" mentality. This is why I dreaded Starfield and why i won't buy it now. Size doesn't matter, it's how you use it, and this goes for video games too...

Starfield had a terrible problem in terms of exploration, i enjoyed for 90 hours but maybe 3 or 4 hours of that playtrough felt like going through menus and loading screens. I want to play Skyrim again way more than Starfield even the vanilla skyrim
