Forums - Gaming - Favorite and least favorite game worlds

Shadow of the Colossus, Just Cause 2, Test Drive Unlimited 2, and Earthbound. 

While the world of Shadow of the Colossus is so desolate, it's well designed and very beautiful. 

Just Cause 2 on the other hand has a large world map that you can play around in.  It has good design, a ton of areas to go around and blow stuff up, etc.  People always bring up the reason they get every GTA is because of the huge world and how much stuff you can do in the world.  So why did Just Cause 2 sell as badly as it did? 

Test Drive Unlimited 1 there's the island of Oahu, Test Drive Unlimited 2 has the islands of Oahu and Ibiza.  Two massive areas areas that you can waste time doing races and events to gain cash, purchase more cars, more houses for your cars, and then more cars.  One of the largest worlds ever created in a video game.

Earthbound isn't my favorite RPG, it's not even in my top 50(though it's on that top 100 list I made.)  One thing I will say  is that Earthbound does have an amazing world.  The realistic but cartoony environment adds to the games charm.

A favourite: Fallout: New Vegas - really got on well with it, and found the area interesting.

A least favourite: Fallout 3 - yeah not so much.

I really preferred New Vegas's setting, but Fallout 3 did capture the post-apocalyptic feel better, imo


That's only natural I think.  Vegas is already, in essence, an oasis in a barren wasteland, in another couple years vegas could look a lot like that if Lake Mead dries up (which is a very real possibility).  Whereas fallout 3 takes place in the ruins of one of the most recognizable metropolitan cities in the world.

 

As for my favorite world, Okami is the first game that comes to mind.  It's a game that will look beautiful forever with its art direction.



Xenoblade, Ni no kuni, Dragon Quest VIII are my most favorites but I like others a lot.
Least favorite...I can't think of something XD

Hyrule in OoT. I loved running about the field, the music added this sense of adventure and enormity to the world. Even though it wasn't actually that big, it felt so expansive. It really did feel like the world was your oyster. I loved that feeling. Also fully immersed myself in the world of Skyrim. Sometimes I'd be in the field or on a mountain and I'd pause for about 30 seconds and look around and just feel in awe.



There are many I cannot think of right now but I can try a few.

Like: Sleeping Dogs, Bioshock, Onimusha, FFVIII, Digimon World, Infamous 2, Star Ocean 3, Dark Souls, Fallout 3, God of War 3, Zelda OoT, Majoras mask, Banjo Kazooie, Oblivion, World of Warcraft. Path of Exile

Kind of a world: Spyro 1-3, Mario 64, MTW and RTWs maps :P

Dislike: GTA4 (too much city and too dark), FFXIII (no explanation really needed)

I usually prefer games with worlds over games with stages. Which is why I have high hopes for Watch Dogs, Infamous SS, and Destiny.



Deus Ex, Hitman Blood Money, Chrono Cross, SSX3

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

SotC and now I'm really impressed with the world of DQVIII, can't believe its on a ps2. I don't hate a world in particular, but didn't liked it too much in Skyward Sword.



Actually, western union is easy to be used as well just like PayPal, they both work on line and pay and paid in time.Most people ranther choose PayPal than western union, because you need to pay high charge fee during pay through Western Union.This is the most RS 2007 Gold important reason for customers to use WU payment rarely.
