Can we have a list of *TRULY* open-world free-roamers? Fed up of invisible walls.

OcUK I thought we could have a free-roamer thread?

Im so sick and tired of on the rails (OTR) invisible-wall (IW) filled games. I got Crysis 2 the other day for a cheapo price and while I know its no Fallout-style roamer I didnt know it was SUCH a linear-type game. Theres a bit in an office where I cant step across a flowerpot because of invisible wall. Mr Baddass in a "nanaosuit" cant walk across room because Crytek says NO Lame.

So the rules: please name a TRUE free-roamer where the ENTIRE map is YOURS. I will name the ones I know please add to it. It does not matter how old/new the game is.

1. Fallout 3 FAIL
2. Fallout NV FAIL
3. Far Cry
4. Oblivion
5. Skyrim
6. GTA IV (once the rest of the city is unlocked lol)

to OTR & IW

We could keep this thread updated and all the FRGF (Free-Roamer Game Fanatics) can discuss stuff here.

Anyone who mentions COD will be put on a plane to Russia and be sent on a 20hr truck-journey to the Urals where you'll be locked in a cave

*edit: Fallout 3 Fallout NV have IW

I've found a few invisible walls in Fallout NV, usually half-way jumping up a hill then I just stop. I don't remember finding any in Fallout 3

I didn't think FO3 had complete freedom, though I may be wrong as I haven't played it for a long time.


Deus Ex / Dx HR?

Was Far Cry truly open? More open than most, but it was generally quite directed. Same with Deus Ex.

I remember in Far Cry that if you strayed too far out into the water, a helicopter would hunt you down.

Hmm on 2nd thoughts you are correct. There were some bits where you just couldnt move forward because of a stupid hill or mountain that was unclimable!

What about the X-series. Very open games, just in space

Fallout 3 and PlanetSide 2 Beta are the games with the biggest maps I've played.

Deus Ex are my favourite games, wish they had more though that game was amazing.

World of Warcraft are quite open, you drown if you try to swim out too far in the oceans.

Far Cry 2 was pretty open, but I think if you went too far you got shot at or something.

Just cause 2 is epic for roaming.

DayZ?

When I first played GTA 3, I thought it was great that it had an open world to explore and a city that you could get to know your way around. since then, maps have got bigger and bigger to the point where my brain just doesn't try and get any bearings.
