Re: Talking Point: Are You Enjoying The Witcher 3 on PS4 as Much as We Are?

@BAMozzy Yeah, definitely let me know what happens when you try to go sailing to Skellige, I am no where near ready to travel there yet!

As for the definition of an open world it also states "Open world and free-roaming suggest the absence of artificial barriers" which in my personal opinion, a fast travel loading screen is an artificial barrier. I agree the game is not linear, but in my personal opinion the whole game is not true open world either. I understand what you are saying though.

@BAMozzy Im not struggling with the term open world at all and obviously we both have different ways of looking at an open world. So in that case you class dragon age inquisition as open world also?

Anyway I am enjoying the game and I stick by my original quote that this game isnt a true open world as the areas in the game are not entwined as one map. Doesn't detract from the game, I have never said it does. Opinions will always differ

@BAMozzy So far I am half way through act 1 and to get to White Orchard, The royal palace and the Skellige Isles it seems you have to Fast Travel from the world map. This was also pointed out in the official playstation Magazines review of the game. Granted it seems you can visit Novigrad and velen from the same map. This isn't me knocking the game by the way, I am really enjoying it. I just don't call a game with Fast travel only locations truly open world, the same way Dragon Age Inquisition isn't open world.

Loving this game, i would give it a strong 9 out of 10. It is a shame that it isnt a true open world as in you can move from one sandboxed region to another without fast travel, but dragon age was the same and i still really enjoyed that game too. The atmosphere on this game though! Walk through the woods and hear the wind howl, the birds sing, branches crack. Tiny details make all the difference.

Surely the numbers only really matter to fanboys for bragging rights? They really mean nothing to me, I purchased my PS4, have no intention of getting an XB1 as my time is restricted enough, so to me competition seems like a good thing.

To be honest there are so many 3rd party games I want for my PS4 this really does not bother me. I would rather they took the extra time to deliver a finished product and it is better for me as I cannot afford to get every game I want as it is, so it is just one less on the market for me to choose from right now.
