Meanwhile, in Star Wars:
"This is Snow World. It's all snow there. That is Wet World. The whole planet is wet. Over there is Sand World. Nothing but sand everywhere."

Behold Coruscant! The entire planet ... is a city!
Behold Umate
Coruscant's tallest mountain and the only place where the planet's surface is still visible.
That's some trivia I did not previously know, thank umate
You should watch Andor. It's an actual good star wars show. Probably because it is mostly an original story in the star wars universe.
I did not expect an absolutely savage takedown of capitalism in the middle of my Rogue One prequel. 10/10, would unionize my workplace.

I mean, that is just a sci-fi concept. Ecumenopolis.
I mean, yeah, but this is like showing a picture of the alphabet and saying "this is spot on for so many books."
Eh, except so many double-down (or triple) on the swamps and caves while omitting more interesting settings like glaciers, oases, rainforests, and river deltas.
Yes, and I love them for it. ^^
I don’t understand why the post is supposed to be funny or critical
It's funny that a desire for biome diversity has led in a small way to a kind of sameyness. Not so much a criticism as an amusing little irony.

Not enough caves.
People "this game is so unrealistic, there's no way these biomes would be this close and distinct"
Also people "flying through space for weeks to visit a baren rock is so bullshit and biting"
I hate the whole top right section. Those are usually the boring filler zones.
Zelda did that in the 80s
As an American, now living in Canada for the past 20 years, I am really not into the winter area in games I'm currently playing PoE Deadfire Breath of Winter and I want to go back to the beaches and kill stuff :D
I remember when Skyrim came out I was living in a drafty house with no heat in a snowy winter. I was wrapped in like 5 layers sitting at my PC going "Why couldn't this have been in a desert" lol
It must've been pretty immersive
It was, I'll give it that. You never forget your first FUS RO DA
Playing Fallout: New Vegas in the Texas summer will make you wish for a nuclear winter.

Name one open-world game from the past 5 years whose map looks like this. Seriously. I'd like to play it.
Satisfactory. Alien planet version.
Satisfactory does it really well. You've got all those biomes (except ice?) but some areas are really three dimension or twisted up. Exploring in Satisfactory 1.0 is a real highlight in what is otherwise a very chill sanbox building game.
Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.
Breath of the Wild

Well yeah. You gotta have sound in a videogame. That's a no brainer.
And although you no longer need to have your TV on channel 3 or 4, you do need to use an input for it.
Wait, no tributaries? Unplayable!
Honestly I'd love is someone made exactly that map to play around in in a sandbox game
Still want to go here
Lol in Witcher 3.
I never completed that one but had explored most of the mainland. I really need to go back and go through it all again. I loved the small details throughout the world. The wilderness and countryside was so well done, with little shrines along the roads here and there and so many lived-in places throughout. I spent 75% of my playtime with Roach set to a slow trot just so I could really absorb the world and feel like I was making a journey on those old roads. There's something so profoundly Witcher about quietly riding dark paths at night and stopping to hear a monster in the woods. You climb off Roach and draw your silver sword, then make your way into that decrepit forest to deal with whatever is going on out there.
Witcher 3 was one of the few games I 100% and didnt use fast travel... the journey was half the game.

Or go Star Wars with it and make the entire planet the same geography.
Far Cry to some extent.
You're lucky if the game has reasonable climate progression like this. Most games the frozen zone is right next to forest zone which is right next to the volcano zone.
Gta6 be like
This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels
Why did this immeadiately remind me of chrono trigger
Wouldn't it be kind of boring if it was just like the great plains for 40 miles with maybe a singular river on the far side?
No cape??!? Literally unplayable
Just Cause 4 is the embodiment of this lol
Pillars of Eternity Deadfire :D
