To be able to say “our map is 100x100km!”
The only games where it is worth it to have a huge map like that, is army simulators and RTS. Anything else could probably be better off with polish in some other place, rather than a huge map.
One of the notorious examples in PS3 gen era that’s now can’t be purchased at all. It’s a derpy offroad racing game in what looks like a procedurally generated world emptier than ash deserts in Morrowind.
I don’t get why open worlds have to be so big. 95% of the time, they have next to nothing in them.
Well they gotta have the right balance, otherwise they’d end up be “open small town” instead of “open world”

Maybe you can explain this to me… I’ve heard this countless times over the years, but I can’t figure out how it’s measured?
Is it based on if MC is taking average human strides? It seems like a ridiculous metric.
