dante77 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I can see linear gameplay is winning but why is that? I never saw anyone on GI who prefer linear gameplay over sandbox gameplay. What happened today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 But IMO,A knock your socks off experience in the first playthrough > replayability Mass Effect was a perfect blend of both freedom and a great story/presentation. It wasn't exactly a sandbox RPG (like Oblivion or Fallout 3) but still offered enough freedom. Also Half-Life remains the biggest example of how linear games can have MASSIVE amounts of replayability thanks to intelligently designed levels and gameplay. I'd still love to play through "On A Rail" or "Surface Tension" numerous times than go through Resistance 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'd still love to play through "On A Rail" or "Surface Tension" numerous times than go through Resistance 2. I'd prefer to get bashed over the head with a PS3 than play Resistance 2 again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karooo Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Surface tension in half-life my fav level. Why did you bring back the memories tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Sandbox games became popular only after GTA3 (PS2 era a.k.a. the last gen), technically Sim City could be called the first sandbox game but the genre actually became popular with GTA3. There have always been more linear games than sandbox games... this gen or otherwise. Surface tension in half-life my fav level. Why did you bring back the memories tyler What's wrong in bringing back some fond memories? You can still play Half-Life... it's not like it's an ex-girlfriend who you can never get back.

Nemo Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I miss the pre Atishri GI. A knock your socks off experience in the first playthrough > replayability Agreed with both points. Unless there is a masterpiece like GTA SA or a sandbox game where the story ACTUALLY changes (not some half assed changes like a few cut scenes here or there) depending on the player's actions, a well made linear game will always be better.
