StrixNebulosa posted:For serious though the main appeal of open world games when I play them is that I can go traveling and go look at cool places. If they have neat things to do or look for, that's even better - Saints Row IV comes to mind, as does Witcher 3 (tho I haven't done much in that game yet) - and to an extent LA Noire. LA Noire was such a waste of an open world. Outside of the random interstitial cases there was nothing to do except grabbing some collectibles that did nothing, or visiting landmarks, which while cool, basically did nothing. I guess they popped an achievement, but just nothing Watch_Dogs 2 is pretty great for an open world city, and you can pretty much do anything after you pick up the drone (which costs money and is not gated)

Imagine how much money LA Noire would've saved in development if it wasn't open world and instead only had the few locations necessary for each investigation.

It's in my basement somewhere and I should probably take it out and sell it before my kid finds it and destroys it. If so you can get a decent chunk of change for it if it's unopened still. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=g1%20megatron%20reissue&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

Conversely, I think I enjoyed more than half of the 13 games in the Call of Duty series but I wouldn't call myself a fan of that, it's just a thing that's there

Same with AssCreed, I've pretty much played all of them at this point and most of them are okay but I'd never say I was a fan.

Okay, but isn't the question really "at what percentage of liking a franchise do you cease to be a fan of the franchise and become simply a fan of the parts you like?" Like, I am a fan of the Ezio Trilogy and AssCreed 1, but not of AssCreed in general. Edit: ^ get the gently caress out

I think most Ubisoft games are intentionally designed to not inspire strong feelings in any particular direction other than appealing to as wide a demographic as possible. I can't imagine what an AC superfan would even look like.

IMO you like what you like. You can tell if you like a thing or not by whether you consider yourself a fan of it or not. I play plenty of games I wouldn't consider myself a big fan of while playing only a few games from other genres/franchises that I consider myself a big fan of. It varies from person to person and it is one of those things where there is no set definition or category, you just have to go by whatever you feel. The only comparison I can make right now is something like how my fiancee likes my little pony and is excited about the upcoming my little pony tabletop RPG book thing and she wants to get some friends together for it sometime and have me GM it for her, but she also doesn't consider herself a brony or anything, just a person who likes MLP. It isn't a perfect comparison (since I imagine a perfect comparison would be "she likes it and watches it but doesn't identify as a fan of it") but that's the closest I've got off the top of my head.
