</div>Me neither, i'm generally not big on fantasy stuff so I ignored them. Plus i'm sick to death of hearing the hype for Skyrim and it being re-released so many times is a turn off for me.
Some more I can added to my list of franchises I have never experienced:
Games:
1. Legend of Zelda 2. Kirby 3. Castlevania 4. Baulder's Gate 5. Civilization 6. Half-Life 7. Halo 8. Portal. I have seen videos of people playing Portal and watched Cory William's videos on YouTube for years. (DudeLikeHella (Now LiveEachDay), SMPFilms, Daydream Studios, JustForKids, TheMeanKitty, Mr Safety). He is such a big Portal fan he named his children Chell and Atlas.
Any of the following movies and sequels/prequels/remakes/reboots to said movies:
1. Alien 2. Jaws. I have seen videos about the movies and seen a few clips of the first Jaws movie but that is it. 3. Scream 4. Universal Soldier 5. Rambo 6. Predator 7. Child's Play/Chucky 8. Saw 9. My Little Pony
Hey I didn't get to a single Zelda game until I was an adult. I even had an NES and Gameboy Color and Advance AND DS AND 3DS AND later N64 and just never bothered with any of the games until I borrowed Wind Waker for GC. I tried Castlevania but it was just a bit too hard for me, and while I appreciated the presentation, I don't have the time to "wander around" in games much anymore sadly. Never played Civ, mostly because I don't care for Strategy/strategy sim/RTS/etc games, this may sound weird but those almost feel like "boy brain games." I just can't handle that much intricate detail in my games. I haven't seen Rambo, or any of the Rocky movies or Saw either. Nor Predator. I have both seen a decent number of "timeless and/or popular movies" but also a decent number that I haven't, though that may be my irk with modern streaming moreso than the films themselves not being good.
</div>Open world games I can enjoy and non-linear isn't always bad, but sometimes that can backfire as you can accidentally screw your game up and make it unwinnable if you're careful. Like i've heard if you do things in the wrong order in Fallout 3 you can potentially lock yourself out of being able to beat the game.
Yeah, greatwhite, I found that in terms of "open spaces," I prefer stuff like Trials of Mana which still has a linear story and progression, though there is also some freedom in how you do things Really, the non-linear thing is mostly a time thing for me, for the cost of a single open-world game, I can probably beat 2-3 linear games, and I'm playing catch up on a lot of games I missed growing up and as a young adult.
