15 Open World Games More Mature Than Grand Theft Auto V

Chris Roberts is developing the spiritual success to Wing Commander and Freelancer with the record-breaking crowdfunded Star Citizen , Star Wars is coming back in a big way at Electronic Arts, CCP Games blew way the industry with EVE-VR at E3 2013, and these are only a few examples of the return of space sims. One other example is Interplay Entertainment Corporation's recent acquisition of the FreeSpace IP from now defunct publisher THQ and developer Volition. They managed to buy it for the shockingly low price of $7


Breath of the Wild features an open world that makes exploration a pure pleasure, with a landscape riddled with treasures, enemies, hidden dungeons, and more. It also manages to sidestep one of the more frustrating aspects of open world games, letting Link climb virtually any surface he comes across instead of forcing him to walk around mountains and other large structu


It's not the set pieces or spectacle that gives it a mature edge though, it's the way the game tells a historical story about the price of liberty, national divide, and extremism in the Colonial American branch of the Assassins. These are issues that seem more relevant than ever before in a modern wo


Described by Trevor Philips as "inbred hillbilly twats," the O'Neil brothers are little more than very minor antagonists for his business, but during their brief time in the game, they are undeniably savage. They are presented as a group of inbred imbeciles, living on a family farm in the middle of nowhere, and doing little other than cooking meth and behaving like the lowest forms of human life. Trevor attacks their farm/meth lab compound, taking out most of these guys, but several had left the area prior to the start of the mission. They are taken care of later. While the O'Neil's aren't the most violent or scary of the savage characters in the game, they are recognized as being beyond rural, and closer to something almost f


Unless you're aspiring to be Niko Bellic, it's probably a good idea to not constantly call other contacts for no reason. Of course, if you get some satisfaction from bugging your friends, be happy because Rockstar has acknowledged your cancerous prese


Zealous fans of the Gta v flaws series will have remembered the radio DJ Lazlow Jones from other games. An interesting fact about this character, he is voiced by Jeffrey "Lazlow" Jones, an American talk show host who has also written and produced for Rocks


Grand Theft Auto has a similar conundrum. Few players can relate to gang members, organized crime leaders, or, well, whatever you call Trevor Philips, but the themes in the games are far more relatable, like having to earn money, looking out for one's friends and navigating the game of life (just with more guns and hookers) In short, the game is more down to Earth. Obviously, we'd be lucky never to have to go through what any of these characters deal with but there are few series out there that boast an eclectic cast quite like the ones we've seen in G


Quite a few of these open world games have received widespread critical acclaim, standing as some of the highest-rated video games made to date. Open world games are often massive undertakings, and as a result, tend to give players more play time than most titles, whether that time is spent completing quests or just messing around in the sand


A week before E3, and more than halfway through its Kickstarter campaign to raise $1.35 million, Paul Caporicci, CEO and founder of Precursor Games, canceled the Kickstarter - which hadn't even crossed the 10% mark - and posted a message starting they're postponing the Kickstarter and will relaunch later with "new developments." We don't know the real reason behind the change, but part of the reasons was that they likely weren't going to meet the funding goal and wouldn't have raised any money this way. Part of the issue is the involvement of Denis Dyack and the resulting confusion of the studio's relationship to Silicon Knights, and the lack of clarity surrounding what the game would offer. It's going to relaunch with s lower funding goal at some point, but we don't know w


The game's theme deals with dark issues such as human trafficking, hostage killing, and genocide. Also prominent, is Jason's slow descent into madness, as he becomes just as ruthless and as monstrous as the Vaas and Hoyt — the two main antagoni


Grand Theft Auto V was released on 17 September 2013 to rave reviews. Critics lauded the game as a milestone for open-world gaming and a technical achievement that would take years — if not decades — to be matched, let alone surpass. The Grand Theft Auto series has generally focused on satirizing various aspects of the real world, and Grand Theft Auto V is no exception. The title has parodied everything, from Apple (iFruit) to Call of Duty (Righteous Slaughter). Even 50 Shades Of Gray (Chains Of Intimacy) wasn't spa
