Even as a stand-alone, Sleeping Dogs' storyline and climax was a ****in masterpiece imo.
The original Saints Row games were in a league of their own, and if we're gonna be honest, the Saints Row 3 and 4 were pretty good. SR4 is the only Open-World game besides DCUO where you are basically a superhero (No, the Arkham series doesn't count), not to mention it brings Johnny Gat back, and that new Saints Row game looks BAD-ASS.
Yeah, I tried Sleeping Dogs and I didn't like it. It had some neat ideas but it tried to be an John Woo version of GTA but without the excellent production values.
Of the ones I've played, these are the ones I think I liked the most:
Okami (although I'm on the fence if this can qualify as an open-world game.)
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
GTA V
Red Dead Redemption
Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood & Assassin's Creed Black Flag/Rogue
Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven
Far Cry 4
Shenmue
Since you say the Arkham games are excluded, I did not list any of them. Would Shadow of the Colossus count?

Everything that you said here I agree with but I have to add DA3 Inquisition, and ES Oblivion. You don't remember the feeling you had when you first played Oblivion? I was floored by the game. Oh yea Dragon's Dogma.
Legend of Zelda? Yeah that was a great one, I remember playing it while listening to Zeppelin. Arcanum of Steamworks, and Magicka Obscura wasn't really 100% open world, but for a PC title it was awesome. They should redo this game. If handled properly it would put some of the best open world games to shame.
Amalur is a great game. If they could somehow mix that games mechanics with Dragon Dogma's,, and make huge world (10X larger than Dragon's Dogma) it would probably be the best game that anyone has ever played. Well so long as the graphics are up to par, and item discovery was similar to what you get in the Elder Scroll games.
