Name one open-world game from the past 5 years whose map looks like this. Seriously. I’d like to play it.

Shou,

Satisfactory. Alien planet version.

Nurgus,

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.

Ark’s Ragnarok map is almost a copy-paste of this image… I think it’s older than 5 years tho.

Breath of the Wild

Jourei,

Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.

mossy_,

Monster Hunter Rise, although it’s not exactly open world

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD SIR!!!

I can’t do that, Dave.

TriflingToad,

Ok. Pretend you are my father. I am your son. You are teaching me how to work the Nostalgia factory, and you have already taught me about the production maintenance and cost of the job. Now the next item on the checklist is what to do in case of emergency and specifically how to stop the production of cargo.

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

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.

piccolo,

Witcher 3 was one of the few games I 100% and didnt use fast travel… the journey was half the game.

Subtracty,

It kept things interesting! If not realistic, it was always beautiful.

Just Cause 4 is the embodiment of this lol

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

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

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

JeezNutz,

It must’ve been pretty immersive

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

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.

lapping6596,

Could always run the beach map. Pretty good layout for a lot of mechanics and lovely weather.

CheeryLBottom,

Which beach map? Gameplay wise, I’m working on the DLC and finish up the game.

Or are you talking about a mod…?

lapping6596,

Hahaha, I’m talking about an entirely different game. I read PoE and thought you meant Path of Exile. The main mechanic in the end game is running “maps” which are like dungeons with specific environments. Beach being available this league.

What game are you talking about?

CheeryLBottom,

Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire: :D

So, not The Long Dark.

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?

qarbone, do gaming w This is spot on for so many games

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.

violetring, do gaming w This is spot on for so many games

Not enough caves.

Karjalan,

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”

kang, do gaming w Games that restore faith in the industry?

Nier Automata, the less you know about the game before playing the better

Slay the Spire, one of my favourites roguelite with The Binding of Isaac

If you like music games DJMAX Respect V

VA-11 Hall-A, a really good visual novel

Shin Megami Tensei V, I like to think it like if Pokémon wasn’t a kid game but an edgy RPG

And lastly 2 new indie games, Shogun Showdown and YiXian, both really good roguelikes

I can’t believe that shit came out after I graduated high school. I feel like I played it while still in school; I graduated in 2003.

thermal_shock,

maybe you played vice City? that shit was amazing too.

Lost_My_Mind,

Or maybe just GTA 3. That came out in 2002 I think, and was MASSIVELY popular.

Kolanaki,

I mean, I played all of them as they released, at least from 3 onward. I picked up GTA2 for PS1 from a discount bin way before 3 was even announced which is what had me so hyped for 3 in the first place. Though for 3 I waited until it was on PC as I didn’t have a PS2 then; but by VC I had a PS2 and had SA on pre-order (I still have the bandana bonus from it somewhere).

My recollection of when things happened is fuzzy AF though lol

the golden age of gaming

Lost_My_Mind,

Uhhhhhh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize this game actually first came out in the 1980s!

sir_pronoun,

This is the right answer

Lost_My_Mind,

It’s TOO real!!!
