Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sadrik" data-source="post: 5043712" data-attributes="member: 14506">Negative things about linear games:Can leave players feeling helplessCan be boringCan feel forcedCan be overly long (players already arrived at the point but you have to go through the motions)Negative things about Sandbox games:Can lack campaign focusCan degrade into non-action as the actionCan be too randomCan lack a deeper play (investigation, hidden agendas etc.)I think the best style of game is a hybrid game that incorporates the positives of both. That means adding some deeper story and investigative elements to the sandbox.Most games I have played in and run have been linear games but the ones that have really shined were the sandbox games. From here on out I intend to only run and only prefer to play in sandbox games (barring convention play and one-shot games).</blockquote>
