What are the best free roaming video games?

Post Reply New Topic

personally I think GTA san andreas is a great free roaming game. but there are other games out there so,

out of all the games you can think of, which has the best free roam enviroment.

Gta was all fine and dandy until i got and arrow in the knee.

Well there is this one game that came out recently, its name is along the lines of Sky..... something, apparently it has gotten some pretty good reviews.

what?

Would World of Warcraft count?

Try Infamous maybe, or Saints Row.

I don't know, what is this even for anyway, consoles?

Any game in The Elder Scrolls series, although I have not played Skyrim yet. But I do not need to play it to know it is a great game: Bethesda has not given me any reason so far to doubt their games' quality.

I meant PC games but consoles count too,

Well some good RPG free roaming games are along the line of the Elder scrolls games with Oblivion and Skyrim, or Fallout with Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas. They can be strangely addictive with your character being made to your likeing.

Assassin Creed games are good with their stealth, action and strategy gameplay. Or Prototype with you being a shapeshifting powerfull monster. How to get from A to B can be quite an interesting game challenge.

Or more scifi with the star Wars: KoTOR games, or Mass Effect, they both tend to have rich emersive worlds too.

The most fun I had with a free-roaming game was with Fallout 3, hands down. New Vegas might have been as good, but it was too glitchy for me to finish.

I liked the Elder scrolls series, Fallout 3, Red Dead Redemption. Back in the days i really loved Guild wars. I'd spend hours exploring every place in the game to get the cartographer title, and other titles. I miss those days.

All-time best Free Roaming/Sandbox type game for me was X3: Reunion (I prefer the X-Tended Mod).

I've literally played that game, hours a week for YEARS. I think the single longest game I ever played was abut two years...

It's still a great game, if you like sci-fi and have LOTS of time.

Skyrim meme. Ain't t'internet grand?

Best free-roaming game, I dunno. Frontier: First Encounters, maybe, but it's dated now. Must check on the various indy Elite clones that in development.

Minecraft
Fallout games
Elder Scrolls games
GTA games
Just Cause 2

Games where you just run around and make your own fun are generally referred to as 'sandbox' games.

Fable 2 is a good game if you have an Xbox 360, though you have to do the main quest just to unlock a bunch of regions to explore. There's lots to do however such as marriage and having children, buying houses, jobs, stealing, murdering, dressing your character up, and all the typical RPG stuff like fighting monsters and looting treasure chests.

Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim.

How could I forget to mention Guild Wars? It is the only MMORPG I liked enough to keep coming back to play. I was playing it last week, exploring the continent of Elona.

Second Life, but only parts of it are actually a game.
