I should not need to explain this one.

Wait, no tributaries? Unplayable!
Far Cry to some extent.
Lol in Witcher 3.
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.
Witcher 3 was one of the few games I 100% and didnt use fast travel... the journey was half the game.
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!
Behold Umate
Coruscant's tallest mountain and the only place where the planet's surface is still visible.
That's some trivia I did not previously know, thank umate
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.
Name one open-world game from the past 5 years whose map looks like this. Seriously. I'd like to play it.
Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.
Satisfactory. Alien planet version.
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.
Breath of the Wild
Subnautica
Ark's Ragnarok map is almost a copy-paste of this image... I think it's older than 5 years tho.
This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels
Rippin off Grundo!
I mean, yeah, but this is like showing a picture of the alphabet and saying "this is spot on for so many books."
Zelda did that in the 80s
Honestly I'd love is someone made exactly that map to play around in in a sandbox game
I don’t understand why the post is supposed to be funny or critical
It's critical because world invention is not inventive or imaginary. It's always only a gross misrepresentation of the northern hemisphere on Earth.
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.
I mean, what else do you want?
Can't name anything!
Layout is like 1 for 1 almost with Super Mario World
OP is in trouble!
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.
Why did this immeadiately remind me of chrono trigger
I hate the whole top right section. Those are usually the boring filler zones.

Still want to go here
Modern? I thought this was the E.V.O. world map from the thumbnail

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
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
Playing Fallout: New Vegas in the Texas summer will make you wish for a nuclear winter.
So, not The Long Dark.

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.
Or go Star Wars with it and make the entire planet the same geography.
This look like Donkey King on SNES
