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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

Layout is like 1 for 1 almost with Super Mario World

I mean, yeah, but this is like showing a picture of the alphabet and saying "this is spot on for so many books."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Yes, and I love them for it. ^^

I don’t understand why the post is supposed to be funny or critical

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

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"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It must've been pretty immersive

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It was, I'll give it that. You never forget your first FUS RO DA

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Satisfactory. Alien planet version.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Wait, no tributaries? Unplayable!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Honestly I'd love is someone made exactly that map to play around in in a sandbox game

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Still want to go here

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Far Cry to some extent.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

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.

Modern? I thought this was the E.V.O. world map from the thumbnail

This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels

Why did this immeadiately remind me of chrono trigger

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

No cape??!? Literally unplayable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Just Cause 4 is the embodiment of this lol

Pillars of Eternity Deadfire :D
