Tides of Numenera probably has the best setting for a game I have ever seen. To bad it was average.

Post-apocalyptic.

I felt like they were trying too hard with the writing, and in general too. Like they were trying to be so unique, similar to Planescape, but without the buildup that Planescape: Torment had.

What you posted is Dying Earth genre though, art used for one of the covers for Book of the New Sun.

Cute!

American doomsday cult setting. any good games for this?

Can't name one, as there are a lot of settings I enjoy. I'll instead give you an example of a setting I wish more games would do - pre and post ww2 japan. I can only name a few - kara no shojo, and raidou kazuoha, and the latter is borderline since, you know, smt.

medieval-fantasy
for example, warcraft 3 had a good show of this
then WoW went ultra high fantasy with spaceships and gnomes

>kara no shojo
Visual novels are not video games

whatever, nerd

Estonia I'd guess

FarCry 5

would assume Estonia also uses Finnish AKs
probably Germany

Weird

Cyberpunk film noir sengoku era

Open deserted world. Just like botw really

endless post-apocalyptic deserts
completely unironically i love the existential dread and horror the image instills in me

The more horrific and surreal the better

>FarCry 5
thank you. have more Pennsylvania doomsday cult pics

i didn't know if i should have said post-apocalyptic or dying earth because they're kind of similar. botns was really good and comfy read

You played Mad Max?

is this screenshot from a game?

which one?

Nah, it's a still from Tarkovsky's STALKER film.

I like snow levels. I also like colorful settings. And anything futuristic.

So... Noveria from Mass Effect?

small towns

Attached: 1536633462838.jpg (1613x1048, 432K)

I like settings where the terrain greatly varies throughout the game’s map. Like in Tom Clancy’s Wildlands. I liked Wildlands’ setting because it had jungles, deserts, and snow-capped mountains. I also really like historical period settings. I’d like to see more games be set in Sumer and Egypt during its Early Dynastic Period. Maybe some games set during the Maya civilization’s peak too.

small american towns always seem so comfy, even today.

I really like city settings because I think they take a higher than normal amount of care, unique assets and detail to get right and not just feel samey and cooypasted, so a city that feels good is an indicator to me of a game they gave a shit about.

it's an opinion

ticks aren't active this late in autumn i think

soe would never get bitten by ticks

Setting doesn't matter, so I have no preference.

true, she probably has so much shit and stds in her system that no tick would want her blood

Big cities with narrow streets.

I unironically like generic high fantasy with orcs and dragons and shit the best.

It's a pleb answer but I love post apocalyptic and cyberpunk.

Why is there so little, to none, of this?

...

In general I love tropical settings like Chrono Cross and cloud settings like Skies of Arcadia.
Specifically, FFIX and Xenoblade have really unique worlds that are well realized all around.

is also great.

I have a soft spot for generic medieval fantasy. As long as the landscapes are realistic and beautiful.
Generic ruins, mages in towers, dragons in caverns, skeletons in dungeons, castles and witches, I love this shit.

>Post-post-post apocalyptic, where the world has mostly recovered but has had a significant technological regression back to medieval era
>Ancient, terrifying technological relics of the civilization long dead occasionally crop up and cause mayhem
kino

so how much of a dead fish is she in bed to get dumped on fucking christmas eve out of fucking nowhere?

the GOAT setting

Attached: islands.jpg (1547x1100, 1.63M)

Any new game coming out like that? I feel like there are so few of those now

Games with this setting?

they still are

I think that first lords of shadow had great vampire castle/village levels. Especially the castle

i bet she dumped him. she doesn't look like the kind of girl that gets dumped

Reminds me of Far Cry 3

>Sweden being this low testy

kek

Has there ever been an Iraq/war torn setting for a horror game? Like you're a soldier but then learn the real threat isn't the terrorists/enemy, it's some unspeakable monster or supernatural

that pic looks like it is from the stalker movie

The closest I can think of is Resident Evil 5

Still waiting for a decent cyberpunk game.

That's because it is.

ok, soe

Not really, but Witcher 3 comes close.
The way I keep the setting alive in my head is by listening to Dungeon Synth and imagining a long journey through the land.

Spec ops THE LINE.

Shadowrun Dragonfall

Like I said, still waiting for a decent cyberpunk game. I like Shadowrun, but too much of it is focused on the fantasy aspect of things, which I'm not a fan of. That said, Dragonfall was the best of the three new SR games.

what game is this?

High fantasy with lots of magic.

low fantasy with lots of magic is cooler

high fantasy with little to no magic in the common world but when you find it its balls to the walls powerful is best. See: lord of the rings

Camp Omega in ground zeroes.
The overall atmosphere in STALKER, but less apocalyptic
also a weather system that makes it feel more natural

Sweden?

Creative, otherworldly environments that do not exist on Earth, yet don't go "full retard" and are still believable.

Attached: roberto-nieto-nausicaa-1500.jpg (1500x782, 456K)

weird, abstract and beautiful void

Crysis, kind of.

This right here.
Fantasy settings where physical prowess and mental resolve are more important than being the chosen one or having affnity to magic is far superior.

Which is why Dio unironically has songs with better stories than most video games or books of the genre.

It's Estonia. The SDF uses mostly swedish AK4-s and IMI Galil ar-s.
Pic is probably from a national defence class in school.

Eco-friendly, hi-tech yet green future.
I think it's called solarpunk

They have such classes in schools?

fuck you for reminding me of what V could've been

Hmm, maybe Hyper Light Drifter? Zelda Breath of the Wild? Destiny?

Any visual Examples? I'm picturing some kind of massive space station with natural forests and mountains inside

was introduced about 10 - 11 years ago.
It's mostly patriotic stuff and very basic overview of military stuff and weapons. Mostly ranks, equipment and info what the SDF and Defence League(paramilitary) do.

Pretty cool

It's just a photoshoped image of would be Draculs' castle

Space/sci-fi like Star Wars and Mass Effect or historical like Assassin's Creed and Red Dead Redemption.

age of decadence

That's awesome. We could never have that here in America.

Either oppressive and bleak cyberpunk like in E.Y.E. or eldritch victorian like Bloodborne

Brutalism.

Anything set in the ancient world or up to around 1000AD

What CPU is that building cooling

I just want another game that has a similar setting to Hengsha from DX:HR
>futuristic
>multiple layers within same space giving actual 3 dimensions of exploration
>multiple pathways and hidden alleys
>go from dense city to apartment complexes
>filled with detail and cool things to look at/interact with

brut means raw in french, doesnt signify brutality
the term is from beton brut which means raw concrete

1 Intel 9900k of course

Mountains, but few games truly do them justice. Most mountains in games are more like small hills. Even in Breath of the wild, it tricks you into thinking they're huge but then you can climb them in 2 minutes....

Rainy forests/mountainous settings

Area 51: Blacksite is all I can think of

I really like the operator/PMC setting of MGSV but there just aren't enough games like that.

If we're talking wartorn in general then there's the Necrovision series.

The levels like Primordial Ooze, Molten Lava/Dinosaur Valley, Thick Jungle, and all those ice levels from Ape Escape.

This, provided you can enter the buildings. Indoors is my favourite setting. Quiet apartments, creepy mansions, abandoned buildings, stuff like that. Think silent hill, resident evil 1, alan wake etc. For outdoors, I prefer forests and lakes, preferably in autumn. Don't like stuff like deserts and jungles at all.

Vietcong 2 I think.

post modern cementpunk

Underground industrial/laboratories or dark space stations. Being underground/underwater/in space or in any remote location gives me a very slight bit of anxiety of knowing I am all alone and no back-up is coming. It's a thrill.
