Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1750 Joined: 21 Aug 2008    | The Golden Saucer from Final Fantasy VII. Tons of fun little distractions, a generally pleasant atmosphere, and the Battle Square can net you some of the best gear in the game. Hill Top Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I don't know why... There's just something I liked about it. Isle Delphino from Super Mario Sunshine. Bright colors, an interesting tropical atmosphere, and secrets aplenty, it was essentially Princess Toadstool's Castle from Super Mario 64 given a fresh coat of graphical paint and a hefty set of upgrades. To this day, it's one of my favorite places to just run around and explore in gaming. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4269 Joined: 13 Aug 2008  | San Espirito in Just Cause. Unfortunately there's not much to do there. I spent well over half a day just flying around visiting all the little islands with a single seater airplane, landing wherever I could, getting out and thinking 'this looks like a nice spot, shame that there's nothing to do here' before getting back in and flying off to the next one. |

Muckraker  Posts: 274 Joined: 8 Jun 2008     | City 17, Rapture, and Fallout USA. Just because one or more of those games didn't do those locations justice, doesn't mean they're really cool settings. |

When I first read this I thought "who the hell does he think he is? I'll bet he lives in detroit or something" but Canada... Canada is pretty sweet. I would say Norway looks a bit more beautiful in places though (like the fjords) |

yes, I do love Fjords, but where I live, I never goes below freezing, and a little over room temerature, and it has all the landscapes on could want! |

It's a huge metropolis centred around this HUGE building that may or may not be the remains of an alien civilization. The whole city resembles New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Chicago rolled into one, it's a visual feast to look at. |

Mix of old London and crazy people who can do magic. Wish they made another one of those:( |

You liked those?!? They scared the crap out of me, the whimpering and sneaking around mental patients scared the living crap out of me. Almost had a heart attack when one of the patients attacked me from behind...then got back up. *shudder* |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 849 Joined: 5 Aug 2008 | Shadow Moses from MGS4 because I was immediately overwhelmed by nostalgia and I began exploring everything in sight. Teldrassil from World of Warcraft. Even though I don't like WoW, I do love the Warcraft story line and when I saw my brother running around Darnassus and the forests around it, I was almost sucked in. TCS Concordia from Wing Commander II. This is old school but man I used to love wandering around that ship. Watching people work in the fighter bays, talking to fellow pilots in the rec room, and just knowing that I was a crew member of the best ship in the Confederation fleet was such an awesome experience. |

That's why I liked them! They were well done. The Ocean House Hotel is much much worse though... I get so freaked by that place because I watched the Shining as a kid and it scared me so much. And the OHH is basically just the Shining hotel with ghosts. Someone made a great post about it here once, how stupid it is to be scared there because you're a half-immortal vampire with superpowers but still, you go: "Shit... there's a vase there.. why is it just standing there? Is it going to fly at me!? Oh God, I'm fucked!" :D Good times. |
