Trying to find something new to play.

Maybe No Man's Sky ?

Open World ? more like Open Universe !

Combat system ? You can be peaceful or be agressive, as you wish.

Sorry, I have no other ideas.

 

Dark Souls and/or Bloodborne would be my suggestion.

All open worldish, combat system is straight forward and there's plenty of meat to them. They do take great delight in kicking your arse but they're very fair about it.

 

Not sure on what adventure you'd specifically prefer but as you can probably tell from the profile picture I'd recommend Fallout 4 especially if you're looking for a good combat system since the game loses a lot of RPG elements for a solid and fluid combat system. Is pretty gud Plus if you play on PC that means you get access to a big ol modding community.

 

Skyrim has everything but a slightly bad combat system, but mods can fix that.

 

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a fun time. It's not the best game in the world, but the open world/stealth/customization make it really fun to play around with.

Defiance is also okay; it totally has the same combat system as Borderlands, so if you don't like Borderlands than you may not like it. I'm not so sure about the story though, that's pretty dull. And the online community is not very talkative. :lol:

Maybe Don't Starve is up your alley? It's pretty open-ended in terms of what you can do.

Sorry if my suggestions suck, I was just trying to think of games not previously mentioned and that met your criteria. I hope you can find something fun!

 

I will second Don't Starve. How 2 Survive is pretty good also.

 

All 3 darksouls? hmm.. h1z1, dayz, wow, skyrim, fallout 4, morrowwind, Farcry Primal, left4dead, southpark stick of truth, southpark fractured but whole, dungeon defenders 2, masseffect 3, halflife 3, MirrorsEdge, DOOM, MetalGearsolid5, TheWitcher, gta5, RedDeadRedmption, TheWarriors, dragonageinquestion,

*Huf*
OK.. thats all I know off the top of my head... gl! I mostly recommend the warriors as I played that game as a kid a TON, however it is not modern.

 

This is probably a crap shot (forgive me if you've tried this) but googling "open world adventure games" might help.

 

Try Divinity: Original Sin

 

That's the beauty of the open world rpg games you can play them differently in so many ways,

 

Really? well no matter what game it is some of them are always different the second time and so on, what are you playing on? If it's PC I recommend modding massively for an even more different experience.

Also if you've really beaten every open world game, I think you're my Hero XD.

P.S. (Just thought of a new suggestion) The Dead Rising Games?

 

South Park: The Fractured But Whole has not been released yet. Though, it's an excellent suggestion if Lazuri doesn't mind waiting. The Stick of Truth might suffice in the meantime.

 

If you don't mind 2D I'd say Metroid Fusion (to an extent), Terraria, and Starbound had some pretty neat exploration factors. Terraria is limited in generation and Starbound is having most of it's biomes re-worked at the moment though so that gets a bit repetitive eventually. Early game, Terraria's combat is fairly dull but late game things branch out and become more interesting. Starbound's new combat system is probably my favorite system for this sort of game to date.

Nobody has mentioned New Vegas yet, a huge DLC-sized mod called Project Brazil is finally on the brink of completion so even if you've explored every last corner there's a whole new map on the way. I played the development version a while back and it was huge but also largely unfinished. Exploration here was pretty neat, I spent more time going through places of interest than actually doing the quests.

Starmade is still quite in early development, but as of now you can build fighters to capital ships from scratch, and space stations to dock and repair and such. Or just build an empire like I tend to do. The optimization and combat are far from finished but I'm keeping an eye on it as I have high hopes for it's future. Due to building and optimization being the primary focus of the dev team, I'd say wait if you want a nice fleshed out combat system.

Spore's creature stage was neat and all and pretty fun to explore, but really fell back on my expectations. It's neat to fly around as Formic-style space moth but at the same time it could have been so much better in every regard. The combat system here is... less than appealing even in it's completed state so you might ignore it. It would be amazing if someone could revive the original idea with more modern software.

Guild Wars 2 seems fairly open world, and a massive world at that, but the game seems to suffer heavily from attempting to shove an expansion in your face for every little thing. Some people play free games because we can't afford stuff, you know. If you're the type who can ignore that factor the world is quite beautifully crafted and varied. Combat is a bit generic and limited on a class system but has some nice twists here and there like being able to use an ability tree and choose your playstyle, abilities, and ultimates.

Skyrim and Don't Starve have been brought up already, so that's pretty much it off the top of my head. I don't have a great memory so there's probably more than that.

 

Mount and blade warband is a great game with a good combat system.
