What's the most impressive "open world" in a game?

[Rakehellion]

GTA5 really feels like Southern California, believe me, I would know.

What are you, the damned mayor of Los Angeles?

GTA tops the list of:

-Buildings you can't enter
-NPCs you can't talk to
-Architecture and foliage you can't interact with
-Fewest objectives in an open-world game

Basically I mean which game has the combination of the following:

Huge map
Great graphics
Great physics
Variety of landscape
Feels like a real environment

And herein lies the problem with the question you originally posed. Different people are "impressed" with different things, and some of the items you listed are subjective. So, it's really ok if someone has a different opinion than you, and it doesn't make them absolutely wrong.

Thats how I felt about the topic. Open world means different things to people.

You can fly in GTA, so this is false.

I did mean by walking or driving.

Anyway the story was good but it really needed more story to give something to do in the open spaces other than just pass by.

I was pretty impressed with Skyrim. Impressive open world, interaction with every character you come into contact with, all buildings/caves had something inside them, etc etc. You could play that game for hundreds of hours and probably still not see or play every quest.

There is no correct opinion on the matter, you are either very weird or have a social disability of some sort.

Just going to quote myself since I believe this cannot be stressed enough in this thread.

Agreed. I suppose he's gone full Fanboy, that only really works if there are Fanboys for another side. So far, I don't see more than 1.

What is wrong with you? You are clearly the one with the "social disability" here, as you can't seem to handle basic discourse.

Yes, I am disagreeing with and challenging people on their opinion that Skyrim is more impressive than GTA. This is a discussion forum where people discuss all sorts of things in detail. What on Earth your problem is, I have no idea. You seem very upset with the way you are quoting yourself and wanting to double down on the personal attacks against me.

Seriously... pot kettle black with the whole "social disability" thing...

Dude, we get it. You really really really really like GTA, that's cool. However, it's one thing to state it and quite another to be a douche about it.
