I like open world games.
Why so many people whine about them?

The 'open world' genre is a meme
Most modern games have a barren open world with repetitive activities thrown around

How about BOTW or RDR2?

What?

havent played rdr2 but BOTW is a great example of what that user was talking about. a barren open world filled with repetitive activities. combat in that game is a joke and the dungeons are terrible. its basically just run a big empty world real hard

Of course better missions and NPCs are a big problem in open world games. But exploration, unique enemies and looking for epic loot is fun.

I thought people liked BOTW, never played it.

yeah I like open world games too but usually when a game markets itself as "open world" it turns out to be mostly empty 90% of the time because all of the development budget went to making the game "16 times the size of skyrim!"

Did you ever play Sniper Ghost Warrior 3? Apparently people hated it, but on paper seemed fine.

Just like in real life. problem with open world formula is that it mimics reality.
