Zelda did that in the 80s

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 4 points 24 minutes ago* (last edited 23 minutes ago)

Behold Umate

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

Why did this immeadiately remind me of chrono trigger

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] zagaberoo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours 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.

[–] blibla@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago

why did none say Minecraft yet, this i all i could think off reading these biom names

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

I mean, what else do you want?

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

The world has to be as diverse as the races that populate it. The real world inspired open world RPGs!

[–] sakodak@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I mean, yeah, but this is like showing a picture of the alphabet and saying "this is spot on for so many books."

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] GingeyBook@lemm.ee 9 points 7 hours ago

Still want to go here

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 17 points 9 hours 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.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago

Layout is like 1 for 1 almost with Super Mario World

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

This look like Donkey King on SNES

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 4 points 5 hours ago

Sounds a little plain.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Front butte.

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 1 points 44 minutes ago

So, not The Long Dark.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 17 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] JeezNutz@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It must've been pretty immersive

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] lapping6596@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Could always run the beach map. Pretty good layout for a lot of mechanics and lovely weather.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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.

Mata Nui Moment

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

Gta6 be like

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Louisoix@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Except there is so much more in Elden Ring!

[–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, Elden Ring has multiple swamps, some of which are poisonous.

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah of course, but you can easily project almost all the original map in this one with minor differences.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

What's the difference between a gulf, a bay, and a sound?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

Size and/or shape. A gulf is bigger than a bay (e.g. compare the Gulf of Mexico to Tampa Bay), and a sound is more about the opening to the larger body of water than it is about the partially-enclosed body of water itself.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Whats the difference between a sea and an ocean

gulf doesn't always mean bigger than bay. eg the bay of bengal is larger than the gulf of mexico

[–] Pingudiem@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

In regards to the pictures a gulf seems to be a coastline fed by a river. A bay being a mostly round coastline and a wound being a small coastline that gets bigger.

[–] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

No cape??!? Literally unplayable
