yeah, i'm playing AC Valhalla and the entire game world only exists to give you something between point A and point B. Nothing happens, there are no random events, side activities, nothing. People have grown to hate open world games because devs absolutely squander and piss away any potential they have. It all comes down to too many focus groups and stockholder meetings, and far, far, far too few actual creative minds.

It's new icing on the same cake with Ubisoft open world games. Shareholders and focus groups look at dressing the successful big budget, guaranteed to sell formula in a new setting. Not utilizing the new setting for gameplay features. The fact you can't get longboats together and pillage monasteries and kill priests is wild. The game actually desyncs you for raiding.
