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!

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 63 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Behold Umate

Coruscant's tallest mountain and the only place where the planet's surface is still visible.

[-] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 38 points 4 weeks ago

That's some trivia I did not previously know, thank umate

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

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."

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month 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.

[-] FatTony@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago

Yes, and I love them for it. ^^

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 month ago

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

[-] zagaberoo@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 month ago

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"

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 15 points 1 month ago

I hate the whole top right section. Those are usually the boring filler zones.

[-] Maultasche@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

Zelda did that in the 80s

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

I mean, what else do you want?

Name one game from the past 5 years that looks like this. Seriously. I'd like to play it.

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

Satisfactory. Alien planet version.

[-] Nurgus@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks 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.

[-] aido@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Breath of the Wild

[-] Jourei@lemm.ee 5 points 4 weeks ago

Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.

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@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago

It must've been pretty immersive

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Playing Fallout: New Vegas in the Texas summer will make you wish for a nuclear winter.

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.

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] GingeyBook@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Still want to go here

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Wait, no tributaries? Unplayable!

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Or go Star Wars with it and make the entire planet the same geography.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 weeks ago
[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 weeks ago

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@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago

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

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.

[-] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Far Cry to some extent.

[-] Wrench@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks 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?

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Why did this immeadiately remind me of chrono trigger

[-] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

No cape??!? Literally unplayable

[-] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 4 points 4 weeks ago

Just Cause 4 is the embodiment of this lol

[-] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

This look like Donkey King on SNES
