No he's using the term sandbox correctly in context. He's talking about being limited to a sandbox set by developers on what you can/cannot do, as opposed to being able to get up and walk about the world and live by your own rules. He's going by the coding definition of sandbox as in being locked into a framework, as opposed to a gaming definition of sandbox where you can create your own world.
Wouldn't that be out of context then, since he's talking about playing a game and not coding one? Sandbox, as it refers to games, is synonymous with open format gaming (as you've already described), and typically only used that way in context. I can see how one would use it to describe as restrictive/having finite boundaries, but we're just talking about conventions here (as a function to avoid confusion).Quote:

At the moment im playing Alien breed 3 on the PS3, but have Skyrim coming tomorrow.
CoD:MW3, but it is boring, gonna try MP.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Now I remember why I hate this type of game so much.So basically everything said here but approached from the perspective of actually being someone who ventures outside occasionally.
Good soundtrack and the environment is beautifully rendered though.
I'm playing through Fallout 3 right now. I have no idea why it took me so long to get into this game, it's been sitting on my shelf for God knows how long. The game was a little boring at the start(similar to watching paint dry, or reading through most posts here at FST) but it's picking up now and I'm pretty hooked.
Unfortunately though it's going to have sit on the back burner for a while since the new Zelda has been leaked and I will be starting that as soon as the download has finished.
What? A CoD game that is boring? I would never have guessed...Quote:
