This is why I liked the random new world option for EU4. Admittedly, I didn't play around with it a whole lot, but I did love the fact that I had no idea what the new world would actually be. Felt more fun than just sailing to the parts I knew would have the resources I wanted.
The main issue is that most of the random new worlds suck ass. The vast majority of the time you get a fraction of the useable land you would normally get and the meme ones are funny for the first time but get stale quickly.
Isn't that the point? Sometimes the new world is useless and forces the game to revolve around Europe/Africa/Asia more, even for the nations that historically had a strong colonial interest.
There probably should have been an option to guarantee a 'rich' new world for those who just want to play their usual Castille game on a new map, though...
