Re: What kind of game do you prefer?

I prefer the linear ones because more focus can be put into story and gameplay instead of filling the "sandbox" with sidequests and collectibles.

I say open world. With games like Second Son, exploring the world was beautiful, seeing new stuff, you can go to the main story anytime, and such. Open World games are nice, with different events happening anytime and look at Skyrim, Dying Light, they have more content then any liner game with no limits and most of all day/night cycles are great for these types of game.

Can not handle the confines of a linear game no matter how good the story, if i want an amazing story experience i'll read a book or watch a movie.

I chose Other because I'm into games mostly for the looks, the graphics. Yeah that's a bit shallow of a reason but I also have a decent requirement I think. That it has free movement and look around mechanics like movement in a first or third person game. So I've drifted away from point and click type games.

It really depends on the game...but I particularly enjoy games like Deus Ex, Hitman or Thief.They feature a linear progression of levels, but there's enough freedom within those levels to complete your objectives however you choose.
