Simple, what are your person top 5 open world 3rd person games?

My list

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

 

[HereticBD]

Mafia 2 at #1? Really?


Not too many stick out for me, but I'll try. You're really limiting it with 3rd person. I'll try to stick to one game per franchise, otherwise GTA would own it.

1. GTA San Andreas
2. Infamous 2
3. Zelda OOT
4. Red Dead Redemption
5. Crackdown

 

[Hyperglide]

1. Grand Theft Auto V
2. Skyrim
3. LA Noire
4. The Division
5. Assassins Creed

5. Assassins Creed

L.A Noire was fucking excellent.

Love the Division also, can't want for the final DLC.

Infamous 2 really?

Better than Mafia 2, by far.

I'd probably switch that and RDR though.

 

[HereticBD]

If LA Noire counts, that would easily make the list too. The open world was so pointless though.

 

[Steve-French]

1. Red Dead Redemption
2. The Wind Waker
3. Vice City
4. Mafia II
5. GTA V

Why wouldn't it count? It's open world and a 3rd person game. Most open world games are pretty barren. There is some cool landmarks to check out. Had fun getting the collectibles in LA Noire just to see the world.

I wanted to put RDR on my list but 3 Rockstar games is a lil much and I hated Mexico in RDR. Was super boring.

That was a pretty fun game. I got kind of sick of it about half way through it and set it down though. I've been meaning to pick it up again one of these days, but haven't got around to it.

It is and it isn't. Let's face it, the meat of the game was the scripted interrogations. The open world stuff was completely unnecessary, and if it was taken out completely, few would notice.

Nice to have, but I struggle to call it a true open world game.

You should definitely throw it back in. It has a story that's worth seeing through 'till the end.

I loved the shit out of LA Noire. Got all the DLC and everything. My kind of game. To me, it was the best evolution of the "adventure" game. So good.

Nah, Infamous 2 sucked IMO. 1 and even Second Sun were much better

L.A Noire was so damn good. One of the best stories in games.

Lol how is River City Ransom "open world.".

They were all kind of the same TBH. I thought 2 did the best job at evolving the gameplay though, and it had a more diverse campaign. The original was good though, and I could see the argument for it being better. Second Son was just prettier. Didn't bring anything new to the table.

I actually really loved Second Sun for some reason, it was my first plat on Playstation.

I never did play the DLC I'd like to sometime tbh. Saying 2 sucked is wrong i just had a bad experience with it, it crashed and had a lot of bugs when i played it, I'm sure most didn't experience that.

Mafia II wasn't a good open world game, but technically was open world. As a GAME though, it was fucking superb, amazing story, characters, voice actors, gameplay, graphics, environment etc


I was excited when i heard about Mafia 3, but from what I've seen its complete shit unfortunately.
