Open world games are very common now, but there was a time when the term 'Open World' didn't even exist. More AAA developers are producing open world games, but is that a good thing? Jake is starting to believe that most open world games aren't very good, so he's invited his older brother, Brock onto BitCast for the very first time to discuss.
