If there are video games which I am very much drawn to, it's those which allow you the freedom to go about whatever task you'd like. Most of the time, you'll play games and you'll be given an objective which you cannot steer too far from. However, there are a select few which give you the freedom to go about tasks at your own pace or you may be able to ignore them entirely. These are the ones which I can see adventure racing being connected to.
"Fallout" is a series which seemed to have always been grounded in a sandbox-like structure and being allowed to go about the games in your own way. You can simply ignore the story being told so that you can explore all of the ends of the wasteland. It is a big world, to be certain, and each of the landmarks deserves all of your focus. You may be able to uncover a litany of weapons and items as well, thereby increasing the incentive to go about traversing the landscape at your own pace.
Now that you know about the meat of the games, how does adventure racing prove to be a part of it? "The Legend of Zelda," as a series, is known for many things but I'd like to imagine that the wide landscapes proved to be of great importance. You have to consider that quite a number of these games utilized horseback riding and the speed which came with it. I always hoped that events such as Spartan Race became an inspiration and we would go on to see races in these kinds of open environments.
It's not like matters have been perfect for these games, though. "Fallout" also suffers from this but the "Elder Scrolls" games have quite a number of glitches and this does nothing but hamper the experience for players. Never before have I come across games so fun yet so buggy at the same time; I can't begin to tell you how many times I was driven to turn these games off. I think that these titles can be excellent but sometimes the quality control problems which exist sometimes prove to be too much.
Adventure racing can be a great source for competition and I hope that games start to make note of this subject more often. After all, it is a challenging event and I think that games can stand being just a little bit harder and pushing the sensibilities of gamers to higher levels. I think that they would work well, provided that any kind of issues are ironed out. Winning a race brings true satisfaction because it's a victory that was achieved through much hard work.
