Rockstar Rockstar Rockstar. I don't care about tunnels and caves, no world is as involving as the Rockstar ones. You never feel so part of their world, so involved.
Well I've never really felt like I had to go exploring in GTA IV. It can be delightful roaming the wastes and fighting raiders and exploring interesting towns.
That being said, neither Fallout or Oblivion have helicopters to jump out of at great heights.

Rockstar for me. Their worlds feel much more alive and organic, while Bethesda's are a bit plastic. Interesting, pretty and all that, but not really alive.
Um this is a thread to see who does the best worlds and things to do in those worlds, not whats the better gameJoseph375 said:
OT: Bethesda because there always the element of discovery when going into old ruins or a new dungeon. Whilst in RDR and GTA the only other things to do are minigames and the world acts more like a hub for the missions.
If you find auto aim too easy, turn it off. I put it in expert mode, was great.Jabberwock King said:
Bethesda has better worlds, but Rockstar has better combat. Overall, I prefer Rockstar's games better, but I had to vote for Bethesda.
Well, there's nothing to do in the open world. I should say theres nothing to do thats fun in the open world. Its a sandbox but that just serves as a tedious drive between crime scenes. You can skip it by letting you partner drive, which I did after the first few uneventful drives. There are "street crimes" that you get calls on the radio for but you can fast travel to those as well. Its just kind of pointless. I guess people call it "immersion" but I will take a loading screen over 5 minutes of boring driving, especially later cases with like 8 locations.Iwata said:
I can admit I have had some enjoyable times in Liberty City, the old West, and L.A.
But Bethesda's worlds though have lost me to playing for upwards of 14 hour forgetting to eat, and constantly referring to myself as the brave battlemage Illegor.

Rockstar and Bethesda are both masters of making me feel insignificant. They craft these huge intricate playgrounds with hidden goodies and interesting locations. However, if I'm forced to choose between Liberty City or the Wasteland, the American West or Vvardenfell? Yeah, I'm going to go with Bethesda.
And it's looking like the common consensus that Bethesda makes their sandboxes more full of toys rather than...well, sand.

Bethesda's worlds have so much more detail, esspecialy fallout 3. Their worlds feel much more imersive.
Bethesda worlds have much more in them. Most people have something interesting to say and you can talk to pretty much everyone. Rockstar make games to just fuck around in.
