Gta still plays like that and so does Saint row and Infamous and those games feel like sandbox games not open world ones.
You made a fair point, there is a difference between open world and sandbox games but the difference is a bit muddled sometimes because games nowadays are borrowing gameplay options and structure from other genres.
nowadays is not crazy to have a sandbox game mixed with an rpg with some sim management in there too.
Few genres remain pure, better put, few games are sticking to a specific genre.
The new thing seems to be adding a dating sim aspect to the game. that's taking off big time.
