Shroud explains his biggest issue with open-world games like Far Cry and The Witcher Twitch: shroud \/ UbisoftTwitch streamer and FPS king Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grseziek has explained why he doesn\u2019t enjoy playing \u2018never ending\u2019 open-world video games on stream, including The Witcher 3 and the Far Cry series. With his insanely dedicated viewer base of over 9 million followers on Twitch, shroud plays a variety of games, but primarily focuses on FPS. Back in February, as the GTA RP hype was starting to hit the lofty heights it has sustained to this day, fans were excited when he was apparently spotted roaming Los Santos, but it was later confirmed shroud had made a character only never to play with it. And on his May 21 stream, shroud explained why he largely doesn\u2019t enjoy the \u201cgrindy\u201d aspect of large open-world titles. \u201cOpen world games are very hard to get right, because they just feel like a grind. It feels like you\u2019re playing an MMO, but when you\u2019re playing an open-world single-player game you don\u2019t want it to be like an MMO. \u201cYou still want it to be engaging and fun, but most open-world games, unfortunately, feel that way, like Far Cry, for example. Far Cry was awesome for the first few hours, but then it was kind of hard to go all the way and finish Far Cry 5, Far Cry 4, Far Cry 3. \u201cThe first couple of hours were interesting, then you realize they put all these little things everywhere for you to do and you\u2019re just like \u2018oh man\u2019.\u201d Shroud had earlier aired his grievances about the Witcher series, where he explained that even though it\u2019s a great game, he never had the motivation to push through to the end. \u201cThat why I like playing Witcher so hard, it\u2019s such an amazing game,\u201d he said. \u201cI play day one, I\u2019m loving it, I play day two, I\u2019m ok, and then day three just doesn\u2019t exist because it just keeps going man. It never ends.\u201d \u201cThey [make them longer] on purpose to make some extra cash, that\u2019s for sure. It\u2019s kind of an illusion effect. That\u2019s why I love the 8-to-10-hour bangers, because they just put so much effort into it.\u201d It seems shroud will largely be sticking with FPS games, at least on stream, for the time being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
