What makes a world map good /v/?
>>340025234
Maps with high towers
Archeage had a really good world map.
>>340025339
Im throwing my vote in for Risk™
World of Warcraft
>>340025507
I miss this game. I played a shit ton of it in alpha before they added so much cash shop shit. I made a great friend with this middle aged female author
>>340024298
Age of Empires 3
>>340026060
I think yes. It invented some of these cliches too.
How do you guys feel about Skyrims world map?
>>340024298
Funny how that map with it's intent to fit in as many cliches as possible is more interesting than so many serious maps.
>>340026560
it's alright for what it is
Final fantasy X for sure

I agree with the original games theme park map
but the jade sea is actually made out of jade...
>>340030867
Have you never seen the real world before?
There are plenty of mountainous snowy areas leading directly into desert in the east
>>340029832
Just fuck my world map up senpai
Somebody post that Spain map upside down and the description on how is unrealistic as fuck.
>>340030867
It's actually possible, yes. Those are mountains so if they are high enough then of course they can be covered in ice and snow regardless if they are close to a desert, jungle or any other warm biome. Now if it was a plain on the same elevation as the desert and was snowy then it'd be dumb as hell.

Not that WoW isn't cliche but they could've tried a little harder
>>340031254
>>340024298
Fallout 4 actually. It's an insultingly bad game, but its map, if it wasn't filled with shitty useless dungeons, would be god tier
>>340032382
But its LoTR, not WoW
>>340032513
I didn't see the comment you were replying to, nearly got me there.
>>340032513
It would be so much better without that comment about Italy, it makes it too obvious.
>>340033089
hey look, it's denmark.
>>340033519
oh wow I've never seen a full map for Black Company. Jesus fucking christ everything is so huge.
>>340025339
Why would you do such a thing?

R.I.P
Someone recommend me a game with an interesting and big world to explore.
Open world with no zone lines = awesome exploration.
>>340036618
Where is this from. Looksfun
>>340037456
If you start reading names, you'll see they are from GTA games.
It's sadly just a photoshop.

>>snow
>>suddenly desert
Can happen under some circumstances. If the mountains are high enough they will catch all the moisture. All the moisture falls as snow leaving the land behind the mountains with dry air. This is called a rain shadow.
>>340037514
Oh I knew it was GTA, but I was hoping it was a mod or somehting. Sad times.
>>340038620
Wouldn't be possible.
In GTA 4 the performance would be horrible, and I don't think GTA SA's engine could support a map that big.
Ragnarok Online.
Only where a jungle connects to hell.
>>340030867
Technically Antarctica is a desert.
>>340038656
Why no loading points like in Vice City ?
>>340039023
It's not about performance, it's that the engine would not support such a map.
Even with loading screens, you have to load most of the level anyway.
It'll be decades before we see such a map, even more considering how long it would take to model.
>>340037409
temeria will rise again!
>>340039156
oh
>>340039156
There's no point in such a huge map anyway, you'll have to spend years to fill it, creatively-wise.

I don't know if I should be relieved or sad. Such a great read.

I wanna go to Povir+Koviss

>the initial fear
Everybody who has ever survived a jump has said they regretted it immediately after jumping. The human mind is set up to fear death more than anything else. The plunge would be the most terrifying experience in the world
>>340040186
Sounds like a fun ride.
