Question
I own and have played through 100% of the stories in Far Cry 3 and 4, GTA 4 and 5 and Skyrim. I also have found myself getting in literally hundreds of hours on these games and love their open, sandbox style worlds, but alas, I'm looking for something new.
Are there any other sandbox style games that would be as large and/or detailed a these?
Genre, producer or platform do not much matter, and I'm also not looking for opinions, just games that fit this particular style of a loose story and a LARGE sandbox to play in.
Any O/S, platform is welcome, as are all styles (MMORPG, etc.)
Explanation / Answer
Just Cause 2 is definitely one of my all-time favorite sandbox games.
I'm not sure if you wanted details about the games or just game names and you will do the research yourself. Anyway, in Just Cause 2 you rack up something called Chaos points, and this is the only way you can get to your next storyline mission, and yes, you literally get those points by... Well... Causing chaos. There are so many vehicles and settings in this game it's difficult to believe. There are sunny island getaways, snowy mountaintops, and a nightclub on an airship... Yep. You can also do something called a "stunt jump" on all vehicles in the game which involves you jumping out of the vehicle while it's moving and shooting stuff. You also have a grappling hook that you use in a variety of ways across the game, for instance once I was really bored and hooked a guy up to a 747 airliner and took off. This game is ridiculous, and in a good way!
