Anon Minecraft was originally created by a Sweedish man.
Microsoft purchased the rights from that Sweedish man for 2 billion dollars after it was alreasy unfathomably popular and well into development.
lmao most western games are still made by caucasian men
ambitious maybe not but it's not because of their personal identity but the shitty business model they're forced to work under

You can't walk in any fricking "civilized" road without finding litter somewhere
Even in Japan, I've been there so don't fricking try to bring it up, yes there's less litter than other places but it's there
I went from Nishikawaguchi in Japan which is one of the most chink-ridden shithole in all of Japan to Paris. The cleanest place in Paris couldn't compare to the filthiest place in Japan. Littering is there but compared to any other place it's as if it weren't
There is one singular guy who drives down my road every day. Every day he throws his lunch trash out, cup, wrapper, whatever. It adds up, fast. One fricking butthole.
It would sound great but you'd have to remove all the brownoids and Asians that kill and eat everything and then have to selectively breed white people to a point that it removes all stupid people
Take up bicycling. Either fix up your old bike or buy a new one, charge up your phone, fill up a water bottle, grab a lightly packed backpack with snacks & EXPLORE! Try going down roads that you usually ignore when you're driving your car.
Sometimes, you can even find loot! Years ago, I found a CD on the side of the road, the soundtrack to the film Armageddon, in very good condition. I still have it in my CD case in my SUV.
It used to be. Immigration wasn't even anywhere as controlled as it is today. Most people just had little reason to move elsewhere when their living standards wouldn't improve significantly or were probably more ignorant about the vastly superior living standards in other places.
This is why fast-travel sucks. If you had to walk all of that distance, you'd be bound to find interesting shit to look at and possibly some random exciting thing happen along the way. When I used to go running in my neighborhood, every so often there would be some weird crazy shit that caught my attention or people that would try talking to me. Skyrim does that kind of thing more if you walk from A to B, although it could still be denser.
You have to think of the designers and how they interact with their lives.
If they live in a car-only city where nothing can be done by foot they'll think that's all there is to life.
If it's made by rural village people the game is bound to have interesting quests and a small confined world moreso than a sprawling empty piece of shit.
Is the west gonna help you half as much as they helped Ukraine? Russia has trimmed their fat, rotated their generals and re-opened their munitions industries. Next target won't be so 'lucky' as ukraine.
What's at the lagoon to make it the final location? Did a meteor form the lagoon millions of years ago and contain an ancient evil that's about to awaken?

Latest patch broke this game, the mob spawns are all wack.

Frick this shit, uninstalling if the devs don’t patch this.
>Where's the portal to some Hellish dimension
The volcano, guarded by optional boss (harder than final boss, weaker than secret superboss, drops no loot except a trinket that enables romancing previously defeated villainess and recruiting her).
>Barbarians in the north (Norse or Mongol-coded) >Farmers in the west (European or Asian-coded) >Merchants in the east (Middle East-coded) >Exotic tribals in the south (South America or Africa-coded)
wa-la, one unique and interesting fantasy world ready to go!
Seas are generally smaller than the ocean, and are located at the point where the ocean meets land. Also, seas are often enclosed by land. Ocean, therefore, represents a much larger body of open water than a sea.
im too stupid to know if this is a good thing or a bad thing
in Fantasy, does it have to be realistic? not like frozen mountains directly beside desert
>various warring kingdoms lining the tethys ocean plus warring pirate bands occupying the islands within >further inland is unexplored territory full of monsters and savage tribes
Pangaea would be a kino setting.
Might & Magic 6: The Mandate of Heaven did it exactly the way OP depicts it and it was fricking kino
i cant recall a single modern open world rpg that feels as magical and adventurous as that game
I feel like I've seen this exact image in a childhood book I used to have. A lot of old stuff like Zoobook-type stuff had illustrations like that.
I distinctly remembering first learning the word "Fjord" from one of those old books too.
A fully developed and thought out map only constrains a setting and limits its potential and mystery.
Think to all the great fantasy tales and songs and how their sense of place is vague and unknowable, imagine how much more mundane and boring the battlefield in Blind Guardian's "Battlefield" would be if you could point to it as just a meaningless meadow on a map, versus being THE battlefield to embody all battlefields, where men go to beat back evil and fight with honor. Imagine how stupid it would be if you allowed the audience to ask "well why didn't the evil just take the shortcut through the forest here" and involving logistics and autism into what could be an iconic ideal free from form.
A definite map of the world should be the last thing a setting sees before being shut down forever, not the starting point.
Imagine a game set in this world, made in 2004 by an ambitious team of caucasian men in their 20s. It would be amazing.
japanese men*
honorary aryans
*Sip*
Yep, looks familiar
I want action, not turn based combat
Exactly, so japs.

Get some better material
2004 was when the game industry started going to shit though.

Ganker would shit on it like every open world game

Yeah, okay.
.
They did. It was called Far Cry.
Gothic 3
Was kinda shit tho compared to gothic 2
imagine if our world was open world, rather than plagued by red tape and all manner of restrictions.
It'll never happen. Humanity will kill itself before any great unification.
Unification is a waste of time anyway.
Frick off pessimist. The Great Terran Empire will conquer the stars.
People are dumb and unpredictable. The world was once as you described and things were very violent

The world is kind of like that.

Game starts in a small fishing village in the beach of the peninsula.
?
Would play.
What's at the lagoon to make it the final location? Did a meteor form the lagoon millions of years ago and contain an ancient evil that's about to awaken?
Impact crater from the meteor that caused the tsunami that destroyed the starting village, duh.
Storywise, yes, and it's why the [plot device] washes up on the beach of your village in the first place and sets everything in motion.
The meta answer though is that it means the village is in view from the final fight, emphasizing what's at stake if you fail.
>ancient evil that destroyed the world is just chilling in the water
>get a brief glimpse of it
>is never elaborated on again
Welcome to Hoenn
Game peaked at mountain
archipelago was truly the lowest point
prairie and plains was such a comfy level i miss it bros
reminds me of GTA san andreas
It is more likely you start at the beach, with the other areas before and near it accessible by a different path.
Get rid of the desert area and this is Final Fantasy X.
I always really liked X's world. Comfy tropical island places are my favorite vidya biome.
Almost perfect. Observe:
Sorry, no.
God the mesa-dune-coast run is so fricking dull on replay, what were they thinking. That said
>Final level is right next to the start of the game
KINO
Now that I see this, are there any games where "Desert" is the end game location? It's practically always a mid game thing.
Earthbound I think. Never was like the end goal, just happens to be your second to last trip
Grim Dawn technically, if you do the latest DLC content last.
a game not ending at volcano just seems wrong
name 3 games ending at a volcano then
>Atleast 1/3 of the game spent in desert wastelands
Grim
The superboss at the butte filtered me for months
Yeah the butte boss is absolutely nuts with his summons.
The summons? nah, forget the summons. The Butte Blast is the real killer.
hehe butte

Only works for mp and strategy games.
Delete /vst/, btw
what are some fun open world games, currently playing wildlands and its surprisingly fun for a ubishit game
This was pretty edible ubislop.
>Game has designated beginner-friendy zones
Is there anywhere on Earth easier to live than the pacific northwest?
Ireland. Northwestern Europe in general but Ireland is both the most temperate and isolated. It technically has a year round growing season
You can live in the Caspian sea?
HD version
souless
You wish modern open worlds were this good and varied.
wtf why does it look so much cooler now
What would it be like if the up in this pic was actually north?
Kinda want to see sideways views of other continents now.
>Endless desert and Ocean on the edge of the map to stop going out of bounds.
The dungeon in Mu is fricking bullshit.
Latest patch broke this game, the mob spawns are all wack. Last playthrough:

Frick this shit, uninstalling if the devs don’t patch this.
Post actual vidya maps like that
Is that every walkable cell? It looks way smaller than I remember.
wow a sacred map that has a size that can actually fit Ganker's file size
RDR2 has every biome including Guarma
He heh butte 😀
It's missing a gully, gullies are awesome for cover.
frick you, i liked it
For me, it's mesa.
Peninsula and cape are the same thing.
add a zelda logo to it and it will get 10/10 reviews
What's the deal with mesas? Forced topology.
There. I fixed the map.
Underrated post
Looks a bit bland. Where's the portal to some Hellish dimension or some magical airship floating above?
>Where's the portal to some Hellish dimension
Inside the volcano.
>or some magical airship floating above
Above the mountain.
>Where's the portal to some Hellish dimension
The volcano, guarded by optional boss (harder than final boss, weaker than secret superboss, drops no loot except a trinket that enables romancing previously defeated villainess and recruiting her).
>open world map
>it HAS to have every single generic ecosystem (jungle, forest, desert, ice mountain, volcano, etc)
What about
>open world with multiple planets
>each planet only has one biome
Here's a larger version of the image. Some of the texts in yours look like shit.
>butte
What's the difference between Strait and River in this?
Strait seems to cut through the entire landmass, while a river typically has a source somewhere inland.
Oh makes sense thanks anon

Hey guys check out my fantasy map.
Based.
I'm that Chad, I make up settings in 15 minutes.
Pretty cool, but you missed the desert
>desert is in the evil wastes
>but is totally not evil trust us
SOVL
Literally Wheel of time. And Deltora Quest.
And LoTR
>add desert
>mirror the map
>Enroth from Might & Magic 6
for me, it was the frozen highlands
because they had the best music
Man, French borders are so easy it's ridiculous.
You forgot the southern isle pirates and cannibals.
you only need the DLC island and its perfect
>game entirely set in and around a waterfall
It doesn't exist.
>game has waterfall
>nothing behind it
>literally black desert
haha butte :-DD
>had this exact map in my 5th grade classroom
>friends and I made jokes about the Butte for ages
underrated
what's the difference between a Bay and a Sound?
Most open world games are just plains, mountains and sparse forests.
Open world is trash because of it too. I’d rather have instances with custom maps, one thing I think DAI got right was the maps were cool and diverse.
>Barbarians in the north (Norse or Mongol-coded)
>Farmers in the west (European or Asian-coded)
>Merchants in the east (Middle East-coded)
>Exotic tribals in the south (South America or Africa-coded)
wa-la, one unique and interesting fantasy world ready to go!
Where's the Dwarves and Elves?
>Dwarves
Undernearth the mountains in the north
>Elves
They have a flying city
im subverting expectations by NOT having any
>Ancient civilization in the middle of the ocean (Greek or Roman-coded)
Looks like a Konami platformer map
What's different about Ocean and Sea?
Seas are generally smaller than the ocean, and are located at the point where the ocean meets land. Also, seas are often enclosed by land. Ocean, therefore, represents a much larger body of open water than a sea.
Yep now that's a map
from jungle to desert to ocean
im too stupid to know if this is a good thing or a bad thing
in Fantasy, does it have to be realistic? not like frozen mountains directly beside desert
it's whatever floats your boat if we are being honest, this is just a multi biome example I know and own.
the area around Djibouti and Ethiopa are like this
Africa is a weird place
>map has zones rewarding low WIS builds
I would have thought Russia + Eastern bloc would have more, sci-fi and alien fiction were pretty popular in Soviet Union too.
If I had to guess, the soviets just didn't let UFO stuff get printed in the news, and they probably didn't have a coverup like Roswell
the us has more drug users/schizos
why did you post a map of Equestria?
That's not even close to Equestria.
Deserts are shit locations
you can do more with a desert than most developers think.
honestly only Kenshi and the egypt Asscreed have varied deserts.
That looks boring as shit
I fricking love deserts. Peak comfy.
>fantasy world is strangely familiar
Lmao that's literally a completely intact japan just thrown in there.
Monsters? Nen? I just want to grill for Christ's sake!
Kind of crazy to think about how much of this is just vast wastelands and desert.
It was the Early Access period, the devs gave us access to land but didn't fill it with much content yet.
>various warring kingdoms lining the tethys ocean plus warring pirate bands occupying the islands within
>further inland is unexplored territory full of monsters and savage tribes
Pangaea would be a kino setting.

It's not that one.

It's like PoE developers saw this picture and made 40 maps out of it.

i cant recall a single modern open world rpg that feels as magical and adventurous as that game
Sovl….. I always loved these things in school textbooks
Average Fantasy game be like.
Looks like the map for dragon's dogma 2
I feel like I've seen this exact image in a childhood book I used to have. A lot of old stuff like Zoobook-type stuff had illustrations like that.
I distinctly remembering first learning the word "Fjord" from one of those old books too.
Just like real life but you don't have the balls to go full gta
whats the difference between the ocean and the sea?
The ocean is bigger
Anyone else used to draw imaginary maps in school?

This confuses and enrages the globehead, his little mind can't comprehend the majesty of this
flat worlds are always so kino, golden sun comes to mind and getting to the edge of the map in valheim
The abyssal ocean is the most chad endgame faction, prove me wrong (you cant)
Even Slopfield doesn't have curved terrain, it's all flat gravitational pull.
>Go too deep into the ocean
>Giant Angler eats you
>Go too far out into the the ocean

Open worlds killed gaming. It turned them into endless walking simulators.
So Ocarina of Time? agree
There are barely any rainforests in open world games though, unless they're specifically set in one.
There's a small one in BotW/TotK
Are there any other images like this that show all the potential land mass names?
>be young
>hate desert areas

anyone else?
