Not actually open-world?

[RiceBaker]

I watched someone play Red Faction Guerrilla a few months back and that game was distinctly open-world. He mentioned Armageddon in a negative way and, after picking up both Armageddon and Guerrilla in the Humble Bundle and playing this one, I can see why he was so chuffed; Armageddon isn't open-world. That got me curious. Was Red Faction originally an open-world series, and Armageddon was the first to deviate from that, or was Guerrilla special in that it was open world, and so tons of people loved it?

By the way, I haven't played Guerrilla yet since Armageddon finished downloading first and I just wanted to play something. I'm liking it so far so I'm expecting Guerrilla to blow my mind.

I have not played the first two games, but I can point out differences between last 2 games.

RFA:
-corridor shooter (like old FPS shooters)
-linear
-alien enemies (95% of the time)
-unlocks + upgrades
-Survival coop (beat waves of enemies) - no classical human vs human multiplayer

RFG:
-open world, HUGE area, freedom
-linear story, additional questes
-human enemies
-unlocks, backpacks (oh yeah, they add a lot to the game)
-classical human vs human multiplayer (loads of gamemodes and maps), NO coop (there is no Humans vs AI mode). MP is dead, so don't bother.

Cool, thanks for the info. As soon as I beat RFA I'm hopping on to Guerrilla.

I understand that clearly RFA is not RFG but for the most part I cant complain. The only thing I will complain about is how close your avatar is to the hud.

The first games were not open world, they were more like the last one. Imo the open world one sucked. Some people just like to mess around in an enviornment doing next to nothing, meh, that doesn't mean that makes a game better. smh

Basically this, Armageddon is fine as it is, but just because people didnt like the linearity of the world people called it out like it was the antichrist or something...

The only thing that keeps Red Faction Armageddon playable is the destructible environments and colorful explosions. I would say this game is on the same level of disaster as DNF, but I really liked the graphic and physics engine behind RFA.
