Crash Bandicoot 2 has Snowy Swamp levels.

I will admit that BoTW has some decent Snow Levels though

Shit taste, it was one of the few things Just Cause 3 did right.


Too bad its a pretty crappy game

Its one of the best open world games ever made Which isn't saying much since open world has always been a shitty genre I think it all depends on how much you value open world and "muh immershun" shit, and granted, its not for everybody

I want a game where you traipse around every biome and kill things, or better yet make a garden

Maybe if you're new to the medium
You really are new, aren't you?

C'mon dude, open world has jack shit going for it between GTA, Bethesda shit, Minecraft.etc Its a pretty shitty genre caught between muh immershun faggots and autists complaining about "muh too much empty space"

Might and Magic 6

Name an Aztec/South American ruins level that doesn't suck.

Majoras Mask not only had one of those but it also doubled as the swamp level

botw is pretty well described as abundantly empty. nier automata is a compact open world that works a lot better because it doesn't really waste space. same with the yakuza games. they don't waste space and they don't pretend being huge is a good thing, they indulge in being concise and bustling.

sunken aquatic ruins with majestic sweeping music > everything else in this thread

endless void > all else

Desert > Hell > Snow > Marsh = Jungle

Actual Aztec and precolumbian american cities and shit looked cool as fuck, vidya would be a lot better if they actually bothered to try to be accurate about it instead of just generalizing it to a generic mix of aztec, inca, and mayan.

Aztec architecture outside of their temples and pyramids actually resembles Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Roman stuff quite a bit, pics related

also


top kek

Literally shit tier since the example you posted is one of the few of those that isn't just a straight up water level

Gee, I wonder
Stop posting

Shame that part of N:A wasn't longer, that gave me a massive Kaszynski boner seeing those skyscrapers with the sea reclaiming them. Only thing that ever got me as good was the ruins of Old Miltia in Xenosaga 2, a fucking awful game.

just because its a water level doesn't mean its bad.


stalker and prototype aren't really good open worlds tbqh

...

You can enjoy some of those games but don't pretend like open world isn't a shitty genre and stop being assblasted you fucking faggot

he said ones that don't suck

...

I'm going to fuck you in the ass

the man likes brown.

FUCK YOU OP

no I think it is YOU who is assblasted that he didn't get those sweet ass trips

Remember that part in Dragon's Dogma where you have to go into the witchwoods and the minimap isn't working? I really liked that part of the game.
Also made me realize that minimaps really ruin a lot of the immersion in games.

Jak 3 was the Poochie of the jak franchise

Good? I agree.

I regret that the Spanish didn't exterminate all those aborigines, they honestly look subhuman.
t. Califag

Yes they are
CoP might not be as good as SoC but its Open World promotes more ALife fuckery than SoC along with more exploration and more ways to reach the objectives.

Sure

I was also thinking like machu pichu but whatever

spanish also mixed them with niggers tbh

Congrats, you exited the neolithic. Welcome to 7000 BC.

City levels don't get enough love. Particularly from developers; they don't give cities a loving amount of detail and they're often the introductory level so they are not usually very long or challenging.

...

they're as eerie as you'd expect them to be

Stay retarded Kojidrone newfag cocksucker, AAA also shits all over FPS but its still a good genre regardless unlike JRPGs which were never good and were nothing but a shitty mix of the worse parts of Ultima.
Yeah, thats right, Dragon Quest is garbage, its always been garbage and theres nothing you fedora tippers can do about it.

Go play Xanadu and stops ucking Square cock.


Yes, Serious Sam is a good game where you kill and avoid a shitton of enemies at the same time while crowd controlling.
Do you also think EDF is a shit game you retarded nigger?


Full of random events and small locations to explore.

But are there any games with Snowy Swamps?

Also forests with varying degrees of density accompanied by plains of grass and wheat are best terrain type for levels.

nah EDF is a good game, unlike serious sam. In fact they both attempt to do similar things with simple minded AI and horde combat, but EDF does it a lot better. It's actually kind of interesting how each EDF game improves on the last, but doesn't necessarily make the earlier games not worth playing, but each serious sam game is so seriously samey you can play just one and have essentially experienced all of them.

Ill fight you nigger, snow levels that are well made like on Crysis 1, Gothic 3, etc, and use the cold as gameplay mechanic, Cryostasis, etc, rape your nigger swamp shit

We already went over this nigger, Crash Bandicoot 2.

panzer dragoon zwei did it first tbqh famalam

that rock geography shits all over what you posted
do you even crashing waves
too bad that frigid, violent, murky water is terrible for swimming

Panzer Dragoon guy, are you also Wild ARMs/Shadow Hearts guy?

no, I've never played them but I do want to try them in the future, my interest lies primarily with the saturn

how autistic do you have to be to get defensive over a dead civilization having neat architecture

Mah nigga. Ever since I played the British campaign in CoD 2 I really love to play desert levels/settings. I think it's the sandy yellow color on everything.

If I had to rank different environments I think it'd be something like
Desert > Jungle > Snow > Woodlands > Swamp/Marsh >>> Mountains

Why does everything look so faded? Looks terrible to be honest. Especially when you look at them next to
It's like the devs are afraid of bright colors.

vast mega deserts are really entrancing. The desert in nier automata is also something very special.

mein nigger, my favorite level

Serious Sam TFE and TSEare great games with different environmments and enemy variety.
EDF has 3 kinds of map
Seems to me like you've never played Serious Sam.


Theres literally no worst climate to a coast than Continental one
Keep trying though you bland fuck

BROWN, GRAY AND BLOOM
SIXTY DOLLARS PLEASE

snow a best

Got your "sunken ruins with majestic music" fix right here user


Ugly looking or not, they built cities that were on par with europe without much metal tools or any sort of beast of burden to help with construction, and their captial, which was built on a lake and had venice level hydroenginnering canal shit going on, was on par with 16th centuary Paris and Constiantople in terms of population despite only having been founded 200 years prior.

The fucker's religion was absolutely batshit crazy and they couldn't into metallurgy, but they knew how to build top tier cities even with the handicap of lack of metals and no horses or oxen. Their actual socio-political stuff and civil administrative complexity was on par with the roman empire as well, in some ways ahead of even Europe at the time (such as having compulsory mandatory education for everybody of all classes, male and female)

When the same conquistadors that are calling you bloodthirsty heathens and are inflating the number of people being sacrificed just to make them look bad also all talk about how impressive the cities were and how absurdly clean they were kept and how the gardens and markets all surpassed anything they knew of in europe, it had to be impressive.


read above, even if they were only copper age in terms of metalworking, and didn't even use wheels outside of toys: in terms of administration, and soceital complexity, they were roman empire tier, and in terms of cities, were around the same level as europe.

Also, The americas aren't the the same continent as eurasia. There were no beasts of burden, there's different geography and natural resources. You really can't apply the same standards at the same time periods. They were completely isolated landmasses that had their own completely separate courses of history.

Obviously, two groups of people set in different situations with different tools at their disposal aren't going to progress the exact same way. This is why they were essentially copper/bronze age in some ways (metal working, writing and mathematics) but on par or ahead with 16th century Europe in others (hydro-engineeering, hydroponics and agriculture, waste disposal/hygiene, and medicine)


Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl is overrated. Itzpapalotl and Coatlicue are where it's at.


It's like you hate being comfy

Shovelware platformer maze levels with no sense of direction > Everything else

Are you aware the conquistadores were a bunch uneducated criminals in their own nation right?

I like Tropical
But its also pretty overused compared to some other climates.
Less used than the other common ones of course due to the vegetation.

Also, can't wait for Kimgdom Come just for these godlike Woodlands.

Its the entire amiga and dos platformer library in a nutshell

t.mayan

I don't think you understand the effort and bravery taken to make the trips between Europe and America at the time.

Are you South American?

Clock/time levels > Realm of scenery porn levels > your shit taste

Jokes aside the conquistadors and even the 'loyalty' sent to Mexico when it was a Spanish colony were just people who were too troublesome to keep in Spain so they just sent them to some shithole halfway across the world to never see them again.

Thats Australia you fucking retard

You could say the same about the people sent to Australia but they weren't the best their respective empires had to offer.
The same could be said about our military honestly, they're just dispensable people we throw away regardless whatever propaganda you have been fed. Some of them are incredibly brave people, can't deny that, most of them are just there because they had no better options in life.

Spain did exactly the same.

levels with unique themes > everything else

Sewer levels>Swamp levels>Snow levels>Lava levels>Unskipable credits>Underwater levels

Also remember:
My opinion>Your opinion

Sure

Literal shit taste

tropical island levels > anything else

It is a really useful way to get rid of unwanted people, hell even today corporations just send you to their Hong Kong branch if they want to fuck your wife or you pissed your boss too much if they can't simply fire you.

HHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I always wonder where these anti-Aztec shitposters come from. They won't even admit for a fucking second that maybe even one thing about the Aztec empire was cool. I'm partial to the macuahuitl myself.

Everything's better than snow levels.
Snow levels are the cancer that's killing the world.

nice taste user


Also fantastic taste, the ghost island levels in pac man world 2 were 10/10

Incas were better

There's like, some mangrove and a rainforest.

Tank Battles with Nukes Going off in the Background>Everything else

Australia was just occupying the place with criminals, America conquistadores was more of a "use criminals as your henchmen". But the overall idea was fairly similar.

You don't know what true suffering is until you empty your bowels 6 times a day or more for an entire month while dealing with -actual- subhuman beings.

I disagree but their fucking wizard masonry cobblestone skills were neat

Inside monster levels > everything else

Jesus CHRIST user
SPOILER THAT SHIT

That looks like the Neolithic tetris.

That was good.

Why do they always do that kind of shit?

Fucking this. The city sections of Resident Evil are what made me fall in love with it in the first place. They only really exceed in horror games when it comes to atmosphere and are only serviceable in other genres. The one exception I can think of is a decent use in Doom wads, but even then they were somewhat horror themed.

Incas owned a lot more shit
Incas made Emperor's New Groove, Emperor's New School, and the awesome theme song to Emperor's New School.
Incas made Inca Cola

If you mean the wall, brown people seem to have a magical affinity with rocks which also explains the pyramids.
If you mean the faggot, autism.

Part of me wishes that Spain just fucked off and allowed Mesoamerica to develop just to see what crazy shit they would do with advancing culture and technology. In fact Iron Age ancient beanerland sounds like a pretty cool setting. My mind's immediately going to an RTS where you command scale mail Jaguars across the land and submit every piece of land to your empire.

This shit is pretty neat user, can you tell us more about their civilization? Im actually pretty interested in mayan and aztec stuff

I like run down apartment levels, not necessary post apoc either. Alien bare corridor levels or subterranean levels without treasure can fuck off.

Turok 1's Ancient City was bretty gud
Maybe 2 has one as well if you count The River of Souls as an Aztec theme, though it could get terribly confusing to navigate in some parts.

there was a recent anime set in that very fictional universe

River of Souls seemed more Mesopotamian if anything.

Alright, so, made a whole tier list

Tropical beach
Ancient ruins (Jungle)
Ancient ruins (water)
Pocket dimension with floating bullshit

Jungle
Swamp
Ancient ruins (desert)
Sky/cloud
Neon, flashy urban

Deserts
Futuristic urban
Japanese/Asian
Winter/Snow
Halloween
River/Lake

Forests
Lava/Volcano
Industrial/mechanical
Slums Urban
Plains/hills
Tundra
Mountains

Arctic
Underwater


That's sort of a super general question, what in particular are you curious about?


Road to El Dorado > Emperor's new groove

Which one?

...

How about their religion or social structure? As far as I know slaves in the Mayan culture had a pretty good life reviving free education and they were protected by some laws

Deserts are the IRL brown and bloom.

Absolutely top tier

swap cyberpunk with arabian and im with you user

there hasn't been a good lava level since the 7th generation started and every dev covered the lava in eyesore bloom

i'll vouch i'm a snowfag though, not only do i find snow and cold relaxing in reality, but we all now a snowy evening is the perfect backdrop for a big fight

Road to El Dorado was good though.

The Forest did snow areas looks pretty well, though there's not much to do up there sadly

Atlantis is sorta both of those plus water levels

...

u ppl forgot one more thing:

Well, I don't know as much about Mayan culture as I do aztecs.

As far as aztec mythology, most of it was shared with other nahuatl speaking cultures in central mexico: A lot of it was already in place when the Mexica (when we say "aztec", we are generally thinking of the Mexica of Tenochtitlan, which was the most powerul city state in the ruling trio that composes the entire empire?) first emmigrated to the basin/valley of mexico from northern mexico, and the Mexica merely adopted it, IIRC.

However, the central patron god of the Mexica, Huitzilopochtli (hummingbird god of war, the sun, and human sacrifice), they actually brought with them to the region and it was a newcomer to the pantehon.

Anyways, as you are aware, human sacrifice was sort of super fucking important to aztec religion. The reason for this is that a lot of nahua/aztec myths involve the gods sacrificing themselves (sometimes litterally, sometimes not) to save humanity, so they felt that it was their duty to give back in order to power the gods. The tl;dr of it is that The aztecs believed that reality had been destoryed 4 times already, and they were in the 5th age, and the gods needing cosmic energy fueled by human blood to keep the cosmic skeletal rattlesnake dicked futa demons from eating the sun. (I'm not bullshitting, pic related)

Blood offerings actually are actually superwidespread throughout the region, the mayans practiciced blood letting a lot, so presumbly human sacrifice diveriged from that pratice from some earlier blood sacrifice ritual/belifs ealier mesoamerican cultures like the Olmecs had.

Another interesting point is that despite not being related to the earlier Toltecs before, the aztecs postured themselves as the heirs to Toltec culture or even by blood. The Toltecs were basically seen sort of seen in the regiion how we see ancient greece today: As the originators of human civilization as we/they knew it and where mankind was really first born. So the aztecs basically WE WUZZED themselves as being toltec descedents despite historically, IIRC, originating from essentially chichimec tribes up north, which were basically like the mesoamerican version of the germanic tribes or other barbarians.

Tvtropes actually has a pretty decent writup/intro to aztec religion. It's obviously not comprehensive and and has some errors but if you want a basic primer to it it's a good start: just as bad as buzzfeed, why are you even linking to this site? use allthetropes.orain.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Myth/AztecMythology

As far as social structure, AskHistorians, the one good thing to come out of plebbit, has a couple of really detailed responses about stuff like the Aztec class system and how nobles would jew each other out of their wealth and into higher classes via arrange marriages as well as how the court/legal system worked and the geopolitical underpinnings to the aztecs committing human sacrifice (a particular high preiest essentially rewrote the religion and burned all the old texts to focus more on human sacrifice then before and to engrain the class/caste structure more which a lot of historians think was more of a geopoliticial/social power grab/meant to keep the lower classes down and justified continued expansion) and how it was convenient for them to push that belief system, i'll try to find those for you.

You all fucking disgust me

whoops forgot an image, this is a close up of the lakes you see that the 3 main aztec metropli were located around/built on, and another even more zoomed in close up of tenochtitlan like the one in

i hear theres cute witches in the swamp. then again, theres cute witches in the snow too.

That's actually pretty fuckin neato

user I…am worried
Also Arctic could be God tier if it was Arctic ruins haven't seen a game sue that as a setting

I need it

...

Oh that explains where this autist came from, makes a lot of sense.

Cortes, Montezuma, and the Fall of Old Mexico is a pretty good book on the subject
Talks about Aztec history and why Cortez went to Mexico and fun bits like how the Spanish sent an army to kill Cortez's expedition

God I fucking hate the automatic link filter, if I want to link to a shitty site then presumably I have a good fucking reason and I don't need 8ch telling me the site is shitty.

Here's an archive.is version of the tvtropes aztec mythology primer: archive.is/trXpV

I'll make archive.is versions of the askhistorian threads with the responses I mentioned in a bit as well


Nah, it's one snake, the other end is a rattle, because, you know, it's a rattlesnake


it just happens to be probably the best tl;dr intro to aztec mythology that I've found. I don't use that site generally, but whoever wrote that page in particular knew what they were talking about.

A shame more on that subject isn't taught in schools in the USA, it's such an interesting subject

Sure thing bud.


Don't give Latinx SJWs more ideas to whine about Eurocentrism please.

American history education is usually a joke or outright propaganda
t. Burger

The same could be said about history education anywhere

...

Burger here. I can confirm this is 100% truth. It doesn't stop at history though.

As can I

Shit user, thanks a lot for the info, I love how in some ways Mayan and Aztec cultures were so fucking advanced but still practiced sacrifices.
Gonna give that shit a read, thanks

These are shit games of their series mah man.

Your opinions are fucking shit. Dubs.

Kill yourself.

That's not how you spell Clear Sky user

If swamp levels don't have accordion music, they're pretty much worthless.

Cities are pretty scary they're usually full of the worst of humanity.

7/10

Sanitarium had a level where you played as Olmec, it was pretty gud

Uncharted

prototype was fun

Which game has the best Australian level?

SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME

How about a whole game?

All my CEMU screenshots look blurry as fuck for some reason, I don't know how to fix it

While Prototype's open world had the personality of a brick and was bland as fuck, it still made for a fun sandbox where you got to mess with the random NPC populace at any time. The game was a lot of fun, as a result.

So much butthurt mah man.

Since when is open world a genre and not a feature?

Since open world shit not only became the focus of marketing but also took over the focus of game design rather than making finely-tuned mechanics

actually the address is just allthetropes.org now, the filter needs updating

Desert > all

It's a sadly underused environment for how good it is
It's gotten to the point where I would be legitimately excited for even a modern TES game if it was set in hammerfell, just because of those sweet ass deserts

Its a real shame allthetropes.org is outdated as fuck since tvtropes is pure fucking cancer and infested with Goons and as evident by recent leaks CIA as well

We should make a thread here just dedicated to updating allthetropes.org

...

Sorry this took so long, fell asleep in my chair

Here are the askhistorian links

- Explanation on how aztec society viewed wealth & how that was tied to the class system and the politics of noblemen (make sure you read the entire reply chain as the poster here makes a follow up post about exchanging and gaining wealth and moving up through the classes via marriages): archive.is/069KL

- Explanation about the Aztec court system if one was accused of a crime: archive.is/AzD8l

- Explanation about Aztec flower wars (pre-arranged battles meant to get war prisoners for human sacrifice) in relation to rival state Tlaxcala (who sided with the spainish and were along with diseases the biggest reason why the spainish were able to win) and why the aztecs had not conquered them prior to the spainish showing up, as well as further down into the reply chain discussions about how aztec religion was also a good excuse for geopolitical expansionism: archive.is/VqSmd

If you check out their FAQ section (which may be a bit difficult to navigate, there's both aztec stuff on the general native american page and the more specific mesoamerican page) or just search for topics you can find alot of other super detailed answers to questions about stuff, AskHistorians is the one good thing to come out of plebbit.

Desert Setting > Underwater Setting

...

Read the actual content posted in the links before you bitch, I'm not stupid, I wouldn't have posted them unless it was worthwhile.

AskHistorians is the single good thing to come out of leddit.

How is it butthurt simply correcting your shit taste hothead

I'm sure you would know, but you're still a massive autistic faggot.

Call me what you want, but looking at our post ID's, you've contributed basically nothing to the thread but shitposting, wheras i've posted actual interesting image content and detailed information and links to resources for people who asked.

But where are the video games?

I mean shit can you post about video games for once instead of making everything about your completely offtopic boner about ancient tacos every single day?
Your autism is as bad as the ass autist m8, it's that bad. Have some self control.

I was also contributing to that (see , my response to underwater ruins and beaches in , and my tier list here and posting about that, and the aztec disscusion came about as a result of people mentioning lack of mesoamerican themed levels.

You haven't contributed or particpated in the actual topic about themed vidya levels at all.


See above. I did respond to the vidya topic, and the entire reason the aztec shit came up was because of

One of the more underrated level archetypes. I can think of a lot of older games with that. We need to bring that shit back and give the level theme some fat sax playing

Only 10 percent of the state is actually desert Mr. Hill

You need to get some self control man, I mean I understand how rabid autists get and get on tangents like Holla Forums randomly turning everything into a discussion about jews or ass autist doing his regular shit may he RIP, but the question was about Mayan/Aztec/Ancient ruins levels in game not "tell me about Aztec building shit it shallow lakes" which you must have posted around 100 times over and over in this board because you seem to be entirely obsessed about it like CWC is about Sonic.

I know it's pointless of me to ask you to have some self awareness or self control about it because that's just what autists do, but that guy is mostly right anyway, Aztec levels suck ass, they were probably the worst stuff Tomb Raider had to offer besides the theater in 2.

ruin level are pretty dang good
specially when they look like chinese department stores
and chernobyl

I don't get any chances for real world urban exploration so I rely on vidya for that. The condemned games are great for this.

You have more posts than him and your entire contribution to the thread has been shitposting at him or at other people about the same topic
Fuck off and stop projecting nigger

I thought it was interesting, but yeah there's not much relation to vidya in knowing about the fucking aztec court system, not like people were thinking about a phoenix wright game set in the americas

Yeah, but user, the Mayan were much more interesting than the later Aztecs. At least the Mayans developed a full-fledged language instead of some incomplete pictograms

Unless you're in Mathmatics. Everything else is watered down or heavily miss-manged.

In my original post, all I said was that Aztec cities looked cool as fuck and maybe we'd have cool aztec levels if they actually resembled cool aztec cities. The only reason the conversation continued past that was because other people replied and I replied back. That's sort of what a conversation is.

I'm not going to NOT reply if somebody asks a question I can answer or says retarded shit that I can correct.


halfchan's /vp/'s fangame has a really cool city themed around it, pic related.

It's almost impressive how you can take such an unrelated thing and still bring it back around to talking about south america
It all comes together

So are you saying you don't do this /his/ Aztec posting every other day?
Must have been some other autist then, thought we just had a single autist considering how irrelevant Aztecs were so there was no chance of there being another one in this board.

Sorry then, must have confused you with that other faggot.

Urban ruin levels are actually pretty damn neat because they give the devs a chance to tell a history of what the fuck happened to that place to cause it to be in that state, sometimes subtly.
In the case of Aztec/Mayan ruins the devs usually just do the old Egyptian pyramid trap ridden dungeon, then replace the sand with plants and add stone faces to the walls because devs are fucking lazy.

I'm probably the same person you are thinking of, it's one of my favorite topics so when it's relavent I like to bring it up, and I admit that I could probably lay off of it at times, but I don't think here in this thread I did anything wrong. Somebody mentioned aztec stuff in the context of the thread topic, I responded with a few sentances, people responded back, and it just bloomed into it's own disscusion.

It's not like I forced the topic here.


I first got interested in the project due to it's setting, yeah, but It's not like I posted that with the inention of having another excuse to bring it back up, I just legimately think that Vivace city is a cool example of the neon level theme.

You'll note I actually posted a different sage map in

There is literally nothing wrong with off-topic walls of autism.

Just don't get it to the level of ass autist, obsessions are just not healthy even if people having passions on some topics can be good at times.
Posting the same 5 pictures of your [insert flavor of autism] folder and a copypasta when someone even mentions one of your trigger words shows that you might have a bit of the assburgers.
Still, I think it's great that people have interest in foreign cultures and all, just keep that 'tism in check, I must have seen posted at least 10 times before.

seriously, were not unique

Swamp levels are by far the best.
Swamps in games are generally just cozy and have a nice atmosphere.

That's fair because I can't think of many. What are some examples other than embed related? I really liked that particular part of SOTN.

It's not to late to confess your sins.

There's a lot of it in the Souls games.

Most of the areas in bloodborne are churches of some kind.

Right enough actually, I forgot about those two. BB especially was quite a treat for me since I love Gothic architecture.

Serious Sam has literally no movement mechanics and the level design is garbage, it's made up almost entirely of flat planes with enemies spawning on them in waves.

Snow levels are comfy levels.

Lost Shinjuku will always be my favorite ruins themed level aside from Rebena Te Ra.

Magical fairy forest levels > Everything else

you can rocket jump in the serious sam games, there's even some secrets, but it's the most unsatisfying rocket jump in the history of video games and it seems like croteam went above and beyond making everything in the game feel like absolute shit to actually do. It's really impressive how they can intentionally design such a bad game for so many games in a row for 15 years now.

Own the Wii U version, it's slightly muted/noonday sun makes everything bright, but most of the time the game's colourful. Good game, recommend it to anyone unless you really want to do some Zelda dungeoneering. It's a new type of Zelda game, don't expect 2D/3D gameplay.

...

that one's cheating, it's aztec/mayan/egyptian/sumerian/mesopotamian/indian all wrapped into one

...

Ocarina of Time has been the basic Zelda template for all of the previous 3d games whereas Zelda 1's top-down perspective is the standard format for a 2d Zelda game.
Breath of the Wild's (nearly) seamless open world is a sharp break from Ocarina of Time's conventions in the same vein as Zelda 2's sidescrolling perspective was from Zelda 1's topdown perspective.
It's an odd duck to say the least.

The DMC series has a few church areas. There was one in Darksiders. The Legacy of Kain games have church levels. Serious Sam TSE had a level about getting to a cathedral.

Cowboy levels are always top tier. Prove me wrong.

i don't know about you guys but underwater levels are some of my favorite

Ducktales remastered amazon level is ok

...

...

Fleshy or inside a body level

How about nightmare levels?
any good nightmare/dream levels?

Hotel Levels are the best.

penis level

Damn straight.

THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME

You might want to give Nier Automata a try.

Is it hacked yet?

You might want to check Nier Automata later.

Is warhammer cracked atleast?

No.
But even if it was cracked right now you should just wait for it to get all factions. Right now it is half of what its supposed to be.

:^)

The new tomb raider has better level design and gameplay than that shit.

Didn't they already announce warhammer total war 2?

90s and 2000s office cubicle areas
It's super bland, but I fell in love with it while playing FEAR

Ditto
also, giant rooms / rat mode anything, from Green men to Re-Volt

mah nigga

this sentence describes one my IRL friends' tastes perfectly. nigga just gifts me shit he likes to try to get me into it. solid dude but I ain't seen him IRL in forever. total patrician. even on that CRT masterrace shit.

burger adding to consensus

This, fairies are the best

Valley of Defilement called, said you and Soros are doing God's work.

CRT is the ultimate

this thread is shit.
it really doesn't depend on the color in the background so much as the fucking devs ability not to make something shit.

Wrong thread?

Off the top of my head you have Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Blood, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, UT 2004 and Soldier of fortune that all have fantastic train levels.

...

Lost Planet 2 had a bomb ass Train level, as well.

And one of the only volcano levels where standing in lava actually heals you.

user I…

It's like you don't want to die of malaria while you groom yourself before making camp at night by yanking your toes off of your trench foot from wading through frigid waters in a polar marsh and not even caring because it's so damn cold and beautiful.

Everyone talks shit on Alaska and Siberia as nightmarish wastelands, but I like the aesthetic. Lots of water, lots of conifer trees, cool summers and brutal snowy winters, terrifying moose and bear, and basically everything struggling just to exist. And northern fucking lights.

Yeah, the zone is not really taiga, but it's about the closest I've seen to it in a vidya.

Pandora Tomorrow's was amazing.

I also liked Gears of War and Tomb Raider IV.

There's Skyrim

Oh, and Halo: Reach

Did somebody say swamp levels?

My negro

He enjoys vast lands with absolutely nothing but sand in them, I think he's brain damaged.

Might have to try those tbh. Skyrim modding scene as good as Oblivion's?

Every Halo game, especially CE and 3, has pacific northwest taiga environments.

Oh, that's true.
I wish Halo:CE didn't have such shit netcode, I loved the singleplayer on it but I had 100ms jitteryfuck ping even when playing multiplayer on a LAN. A shame, since the pistol duels were great.

Timberland a best.

People are confusing snow levels with ice levels, which are artificial difficulty garbage.

Brb, reinstalling Blood.

There's a couple areas in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King that are like that.

More like this?

Ivanka is a globalist jew

Can you niggers make up your goddamn minds and stop splitting hairs?

And you didn't even put in God tier - Alien landscapes (Silithus and Outland from WoW, etc.)

Both "tundra" and "arctic" imply bad weather and low visibility. Same reason you'd draw a distinction between a snow level and an ice level, I have little interest in playing yet another platformer with an ice level and slippery surfaces. Ancient ruins partially submerged in water also doesn't mean that the level takes place under water. Get your head in the game, user.

Oddworld, Obduction, Heart of Darkness, what else?

So? Ivanka-chan a cute.

The election was last November, I just want chute anime grils.

As I recall, Half Life 1 took you to Xen.

It was a nice change of pace considering the entire rest of the game was science facilities.

I was lucky to be taught at a serious military school or it would have been the same thing

LOOKING FOR BAAL?

This image assuredly does not apply to you.

Going with snow since it reminds me of Santa Clause and makes me happy.

...

That picture only needs a little bit of bloom and it would look like every shitty AAA game from 2010.

Sad but true. Isometric games look like garbage when done in proper 3D because you have to do in real-time endless amounts of shit that came completely free in old 2D games.

i love snow levels but they tend to be done badly a lot of the time cause snow doesn't feel like snow enough but just a white texture on the ground. however, those that are done properly with the rest of the atmosphere are dope af

i took these pictures. not exactly ruins but you might like them still

You're a fat cunt.

I think snow is used well in The Division. There's nothing worse than losing a long firefight only to get back out there to try it again with less visibility.

Those are actually bretty gud.

They're neat. Thanks for sharing.

Comfy tier:

comfy snow > standard snow.

No.

I don't know why people like desert levels, I've always hated desert levels. There is just something about seeing endless sand that I find completely unappealing.

Just started this game, barely past the lab, how long until I have to deal with the swamp, how long will it last and how bad is it?
I did install rise of the white wolf though, supposedly that improves the swamp segment.

Void Levels>All other levels

fuck off

Snow levels can be easily the most comfy and atmospheric if done right. Skyrim for example, with frostfall makes fires and shelter way more meaningful, and you can feel your characters freezing.

Reminds me of Enslaved

What am I looking at, tripsman?

WL4 had the comfiest Jungle level music

Thanks for reminding me that I forgot to put that on my GBA collection.

No fuck you. Eat shit. Cowboy and old style western themes are fucking garbage. Maybe it's just because everyone in my city pretends to be country all the fucling time even tho we're definitely fucking not, but I cannot stand old style western. I have deep contempt for southern drawl accents as well, makes people sound so fucking stupid. Anyways western themes are generic, uninteresting, and more overdone than a steak from dennys. Fuck you

Prototype was cool, shame that Prototype 2 completely shits all over it.

rainy forest at nighttime > wet caves > steep snowy mountains > space > windy tundra > jungles > swamps > urban > snow > desert > all that other shit

...

COMFY/GOD TEIR:

ACCEPTABLE/IGNORABLE TEIR:

SHIT TEIR, WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM:

Pics related, some of the best from the top of my head which is why P5 and Nier are there. Please provide other pretty environment pics if you got em

arid levels > everything else > shit > jungle levels
Fuck jungle levels in the ass

...

Is it supposed to be greece?

Wario Ware Wii and DIY?

Clearly you have never been to Britain.

Kids these days.

BotW does suck. Open World is overdone and there are better games in the genre.

Incas didn't build that, same goes for the Aztecs and the cities they squated on.

You couldn't be any more wrong.

Jungle / Swamp levels were always something that made me smile.
The density and vibrance of unusual life and plants made it so appealing to me.
The lusher it is, the better.
It's one of those reasons why I didn't like Morrowind's and MGS3's swamps/jungles, the dull colors do not do those worlds justice.
As a lifelong homm fan, Playing with Fire is by far my dearest scenario. You do some swamp stomping and by the final mission build a force to slowly push back the necromancers.

Given the extremely limited visual variation compared to the amount of time you spend in it, I should hate that fucking place, but I still love it

10/10, would hang out in if it wasn't full of satan

Also Nier Automata made me appreciate desert levels, even though they did commit the sin of making it too large. Sliding down sand dunes should be done in every game, as should enemies ambushing you properly from under the ground

I wanted to throw up so badly when I was playing the worm level in Gears 2. Props to the artists for making textures so revolting.
