‘We tried and it didn’t work out’: CDPR co-founder says it shouldn’t stray from AAA open-world RPGs
-
Funny because I stray away from anything that associates itself with AAA
You're missing out on some great experiences that indies simply can't produce in that case

CDPR's open worlds are cardboard props to the stories.
They are in almost all open world games.

Any such experiences in the last few years? I think the last AAA games I've played where RDR2 and Spider Man.

I rarely play games nowadays and even more rarely new games. Baldur's Gate 3 is the first one that comes to mind in recent years.

TW3's open world was boring and terrible in every way

I'm just curious what you think is a good open world then

The co-founder is definitely referring to the Gwent standalone game. I played it when open beta came out but it steadily went downhill from there until they eventually stopped working on it in 2023.
I liked that game. Then they decided to completely rework it. IMO for the worse. It went downhill from there.

God of War, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Avowed

Yeah I'm still not sure where they were going with reducing it to two lanes instead of 3.

Oh yeah I played Elden Ring too. Avowed I tried but didn't like; the other two really aren't my type of game.

Yeah, I see open world games as fancier tabletop games in most cases. Which isn't a bad thing by any means.
-
They also created a standalone, story based Gwent card game that is pretty good, just in case you didn't know: Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
This is an excellent game and a good soundtrack.

The DLC had good open worlds, but the main game just felt too dreary and brown.

It was still a really good game by the time they stopped working on it, and one of the least greedy CCG I've ever seen. Hearthstone was already starting to lose players, and they had a shot at being a replacement, even if the mechanics of the game were rather different.
And then Marvel Rivals came out and the CCG landscape was just overpopulated.

I think you mean Marvel Snap, but yes. Even the biggest pvp card games are struggling to retain players.

Because you moved on to AAAA?
I'm holding out for AAAAA.
