Yes, and I love them for it. ^^
Wait, no tributaries? Unplayable!
Far Cry to some extent.
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.
Rippin off Grundo!
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.
This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels
Name one open-world game from the past 5 years whose map looks like this. Seriously. I’d like to play it.
Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.
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.
Breath of the Wild
Subnautica
Ark’s Ragnarok map is almost a copy-paste of this image… I think it’s older than 5 years tho.
I mean, yeah, but this is like showing a picture of the alphabet and saying “this is spot on for so many books.”
Honestly I’d love is someone made exactly that map to play around in in a sandbox game
Zelda did that in the 80s
I don’t understand why the post is supposed to be funny or critical
It’s critical because world invention is not inventive or imaginary. It’s always only a gross misrepresentation of the northern hemisphere on Earth.
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.
I mean, what else do you want?
Can’t name anything!
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.
Layout is like 1 for 1 almost with Super Mario World
OP is in trouble!
