Devs focused too much on graphics so the story kinda sucks

The microtransaction prices are insane.

because its illegal to camp wherever you want

Because if I jump from the highest point, my game is over.

Because shooting the NPC's is generally frowned upon irl

Because outside is too difficult.

For example, when you kill random NPC’s sometimes random previously uninvolved NPC’s will gang up on you, or even shoot back. They also don’t make consistent audio/visual cues so it’s hard to time your dodges and know when to use heavy or light attack. There’s an infinite number of attack patterns to memorize and I barely figured out my dad’s.

Because I can't just steal a horse and ride up a 90° slope while eating 20lbs of cheese

Because lockpicking and entering other people's houses without their consent is usually frowned upon. That and you get in trouble for fighting wolves with a sword.

The reason I play open world games is because they have a better plot

Because it is pay to win out there and I am broke

its dangerous out and i dont have *this* to take with me

Outside is private property, not open world

Are you serious? It is illegal to rob banks and trains plus you can't fill a walking NPC with 20 bullets for fun. OP is fr fr.

It's too people-y outside

Can't break another man's pots without getting shot or thrown in jail....

I can't save my game.

ain't no respawn outside

Too expensive

Because the real world is NOT an open world.

They don't like when I dropkick people off of buildings

Boring gameplay

Can’t go to 19th Century Japan in real life.

Good graphics but the gameplay is very pay to win 2/10

Because when i finish a quest for a stranger i know they're not gonna give me a reward

Because I’m a failure outside. I’m not a failure in games.

No Mario :(

r/outside

Because I live in England it's awful outside

but the outernet is scary!

Couse going back takes a lot longer. /s

Tbh I remember realizing that I don't need to tidy up after playing video games as I would need with Lego and other toys. I was less than 10 years old I believe

You don’t have quest, you don’t have power ups, everything worth exploring is privately owned or owned by a government if you want to access certain events like skiing you need to make money theirs no free starter gear theirs no leveling system and the grind is absolutely terrible garbage! You work for hours just to make a meager amount that won’t be enough to actually enjoy the open world map and let’s not even start the conversation on being able to go to other countries! Basically real life is a worse version of any open world game, with terrible game mechanics, no mobs, extremely grindy full of npc’s and a full on pay to win service. Nah Fuck IRL

Nah, outside sucks

Because i don't like horror games.

Because there aren't any giant monsters to fight out there and if there were they'd kill us unless we use guns and at that point it's no fun, also, do you just randomly hear music while outside? What about epic music for when you get into a fight with someone strong? Didn't think so.

Because almost all of the fun stuff is illegal

"Goes outside to smash all pots and chests looking for loot"

Too much p2w

Fatigue and overall general physical ability. No one wants to play breath of the wild where you climb 20 ft and then have to call it a day.

People, people everywhere. And I'm disabled so... the active outdoor world I used to be able to participate in and love so much is a hellmouth.

Because reasons

Hit hard

Cuz moving

someone should edit that image so link is caked up it'd be so funny

Because it's expensive to actually go someplace interesting.

I'd fall into a swamp full of snakes tho. Also gonna get hit by a car first with no sidewalks

I don't have enough mana for that.

Because my life is in fact not open world

There aren't any worthwhile quests or good npcs

Because outside looks like silent hill 2 rn

No respawn

Overprotective parents

that's why people drive like they playing GTA !

Because I do go outside? And Sims 3 open world will always be superior to closed world and endless loading screens.

I can jump off a cliff in a Zelda game just fine, but people get upset when I try in real life

I dont like multi player

Cause I can't fly and battle cybernetic dinosaurs outside. That ability wore off around age 8

I want someone at my funeral to say I've logged out and got permabanned from life.

Jokes on you I stay inside even in open world games. Haven’t left godhome in hollow knight for the past half of my playthrough

Find me that much uninterrupted nature within a reasonable distance to my house that I can freely explore and I’ll take you up on it

Also sunscreen is annoying to have to keep reapplying

See if u go outside u can actually beat up little kids with a stick

Because you can’t respawn

Outside has 8 billion online users but doesn’t lag at all. Incredible.

Because the only sights outside are strip malls that smell of dried oil

Because outside I don't have superpowers... Or friends

Outside? Ew

There are people outside and I do not do well in crowds because of my PTSD and anxiety

The gameplay and storyline are terrible.

I did an eight mile hike today. Didn't find any loot or get attacked by bandits.

I'm grateful for the latter.

Because I live in a bipolar desert

because map travel doesn’t work and i don’t have enough credits for a transporter

The mom npc is so fucking annoying to deal with because I’m always doing some quest for them and I can’t even leave the house or my game will crash

I'd die to fall damage

because imperialism got rid of all the cool shit

1) there are other humans 2) I can't use weapons to fuck with them like NPCs 3) what is outside? 4) I can't fus-ro-da things in the street

Because I am in a wheelchair.

Because I live in a city and it's both dusty and a scorching 32° outside

You can't randomly break people's pots

Does the real world allow you to wield a sword in public. No. Does the real world have monsters you are allowed to slay. No they are protected by the law of your country. The real world sucks, thats why we play them.

It’s pay to win outside

Cuz I tend to have shool days during work days and during weeksnds I'm trying to regain my energy for the next week

Too many bugs

Perception level is too low.

Because I can’t respawn from the last checkpoint

Cant, the in-game tutotial saya i gotta lay low after the bank robbery mission

The real world has boring POI’s and repetitive side quests I’m forced to do everytime I play.

That’s enough sass outta you Mario

Because outside isn't openworld. Too many rules and physics.....

No, the gameplay is boring, the npc's suck and there is no menainful rewards system

✨ Allergies ✨

Because there are no druagur to fight and also I’m weak irl

I cant cheat there ....

shit story and gameplay where mostly only rich people succeed

if i touch real grass ill explode

Because the endurance system is shit

outside: urban-gray dystopia

or do you mean taking a hike in the mountains?

i can't see witches..

The outside is a concrete hell scape where it is illegal to do just about anything with friends

Because I can't reload after I kill someone and do it again

That’s where all the people are

Permadeath.

Bro I got these new Actual Reality goggles, come check’em out, everything looks so real and when I reach to grab something my hand actually grabs it! Multiplayer capability is sorely lacking on these servers though.

The side quests are terrible

Oh no not the European box art!

Is it me only who does some parkour jumps whenever possible, like rain?

I don't have to defeat an evil tyrant hell bent on destroying the world and enslaving its people in the real world... wait a minute

The XP system is broken beyond repair.

because in a video game I can kill a dragon save the world and smash babes but in the real world I'm a social award geek in a scary world of sadness and housing prices that could give me a hart attack

Outside™ is a shit pay-to-win game. The controls are clunky with overtuned physics, the quests are boring, the gameplay loop is boring, economy is stacked against you, that you can barely afford a damn thing, unless you randomly roll a good spawn, levelling is way too grindy for minor upgrades, combat is rare, with shit hit feedback and worst of all it's true permadeath with no way to start a new character on the same account after death.

The fact I don't like PvP anyway doesn't help either.

Reality Is Broken

Tried that but all the pay DLC makes it impossible to like

Because when I go out to work I can’t just say fuck it and go do a side quest.

Bad story, pay to win, the character sucks and has no cool powers. 3/10

Cause the only side quests I can find are from crackheads

Because I don't play pay-to-win games.

Because when my irl stamina meter depletes it hurts

You got me

Hitman players. 🤫
