I can't remember a single thing you could do apart from driving on highways lol. It was a highway simulator at times.

Think you didn't explore enough lol, i haven't played MGS obviously but i haven't played a open world game with as much shit to do as GTA V tbh.

there's literally nothing besides missions in the open world

not even random patrols outside of the scattered bases, it just makes it all feel empty

which is why it's a forgettable open world IMO

gameplay wouldn't have suffered at all if it was purely level based

I didn't see or play it that way tbh. I enjoyed free roam and going from checkpoints to checkpoints looking for soldiers etc

but i agree that it was a lot closer to far cry in terms of open world. Wish we had another map apart from afghanistan and Africa.

In the end it all comes back to how the game had to be rushed to completion. If the game was to be released in 2016, we'd see 4 acts and no repeat missions. Most likely more things to do while on free roam.

But the game still has the highest re-playability value amongst most games. I've done each mission 4 times now and didn't feel forced (like with arkham knight) at all.

GTA 5 had tons to do lol. Most detailed non RPG open world game Inplayed along with Red Dead. Random encounters like the no country for old men event, stranger encounters like the hilarious because rider patrol dudes, stuff to collect, businesses to buy, side missions, races, water races, parachuting, challenges, customization, stores to rob

You are making it sound like Mafia 2 when in fact it had the best content out of most open world games.
