I love hearing about unique takes on game mechanics. Someone recently convinced me that limited inventories are kind of abused currently and that unlimited inventory systems would give more player choices.

Agreed. Like the original linear Mirror's Edge is way better than it's open world prequel. It's my go-to example for exactly this problem.

    And that Halo game I can't remember what it's called, but there's an open world Halo game and it's awful.

    The biggest problem in that game, and in general, is the fact that, yeah it's an open world game, but there isn't really a lot to do, so you have to run around through the level, which is usually boring, to get to the actual next bit of the game.

    It wouldn't be so bad if they just teleported you to the next bit. Then the open world aspect could be played around with on your terms, but you could also just ignore it if you wanted. But they never do that because they've made an open world, and they want you to look at it.
