ITT: game overworld maps
Comfy thread I like it UwU
not-russia is next, right?
>>694193075What happens here?
>>694193207Blackliff Forge is supposed to be there somewhere
>>694193075
>>694193156Unless they remove the Russia out of it, yeah.It will need some marketable cute animals or wisps, for one. Which is not exactly something Russia gives you.They'll also need a navigation gimmick that will shape the entire landscape. Russia is nothing but an endless grassland plain or swamp.
>>694193590Nah, Blackliff Forge is to the south of Liyue. The blank spot between Liyue and Inazuma today.
>>694193075I see it.
>>694194043>Russia is nothing but an endless grassland plain or swamp.Not really, most of Russia is snowy forests and taiga, and based on what little we've seen of Snezhnaya it'll be snowy forests and northern lights
>>694193075That map is painfully nonsensical, what game is it for.
>>694193207bunch of chests>>694195417genchink, it's a just the game map, lore-wise it's big as Eurasia
fuck yeah map thread
>>694194043It will just be Belobog 2.0
>>694197349Belobog art and research was already used in Fontaine, tho.It depends on which game takes the lead this time. Just as ZZZ's hip-hop aesthetic fueled Natlan's costumes, rollerblades, jukeboxes, afros, graffiti and Honkai made their next big unit a hip-hop, graffiti-laden pop artist.
>>694197202is that the game of thrones map?god it's fucking stupid
>>694197516All fantasy maps are pretty fucking stupid, desu.
>>694197202Bionicle was so fucking good, I watched a 13hour video on it's lore the other day at 2x speed and learned more weird shit that happened in it like Lewa body swaping with fucking Cthulu.
>>694193075I thought this was teraurge for a moment and now i'm sad to be reminded V3 never ever
>>694196092>lore-wise it's big as EurasiaGenshin has some interesting tidbits about its actual scale.>Xiangling says she needs 3 days of provisions to travel from Liyue to Mondstadt, but her entire job is a forager so she can probably stretch it a lot>Wine caravans from Dawn Winery take multiple days to reach Liyue>a trading ship takes a week to reach Inazuma from Liyue (in Roman times, it took a week to travel from Alexandria to Rome by boat)>since Roman technology is a good approximation for the road network, a caravan could travel 30-40 kilometers in a day by imperial roads>lore mentions a defensive perimeter 40km away from the Chasm, when the actual distance to the valley is less than 1km in-gameI think the most accurate scale is 60x, the same that is applied to time (an in-game day is 24 minutes) which makes the distance between Mondstadt and Liyue ~200km, same scale as Paris-Amsterdam.Not quite Chinese states scale, but lose to European scale.
>>694197651May as well post it while i'm here
>>694197818this looks awful, the perspective is all messed up
>>694194187And to this day it still feels massive..
>>694195417cause half of it is fake with the same copy/paste textureidk why people posts this version
>>694197795>the distance between Mondstadt and Liyue ~200km, same scale as Paris-Amsterdam.Meant half of that, mistook it with miles
>>694197984>fake with the same copy/paste textureIt is real landmass that exists in-game, it's just low resolution, low poly and inaccessible
>>694198086i took pictures of where natlan was supposed to be before and after 5.0, landmass changed tooplaceholders don't matter
>>694197795>>694198042lore can be inconsistent, Fat Xiao doesn't seem to care as much, but Mondo and Liyue + Inazuma is still less than 25% of the game mapalso the OP's image is missing all the underworld/water maps both connected to the overworld and the separate instances, genchink has a lot of problems, but their maps are top tier
>>694198190>placeholders don't matterThey show where future expansions will likely be so they do matter, Fontaine being Vvardenfell with Celestia on top is pretty interesting
can this game be played casually for like 2 hours a day or do you hit a wall where you have to grind like a motherfucker or become a paypig
>>694198525you can't grind like a motherfucker because all meaningful progression is time gated daily/weekly
>>694198525>can the ultra casual phone games played by chinks and females be played casually?yes4chins who sweat are trying to clear end game optional gunlet levels called The Abyss 90% of players ignore.Or trying to grind the game for gems to roll their favorite slut.
>>694198293celestia's location seems pretty random, probably a placeholder too that needed to be close to the map's center to be observed from any point
>>694198576this is true, there is no content... AFTER THE ~300 hours of game content so far, after you clear all that, THEN there are only 5 minute dailies waiting for the next patch
>>694198690It's too big to travel there, it's just going to be another separate map like the chasm, most likely
>>694197795>>694198246>60x scaleThat's just France
>>694198706yeah map completion and story quests take a long ass time but after that it's just dailies and weeklies and imaginarium/abyss
>>694198525the grind consists of leveling your characters by gathering materials and artifacts, so the amount you have to grind depends on how many you want to max level
>>694198864Never mind, I've seen the light, we're bongland
>>694198525you only pay for waifu if you lost your rolls, all the quests and story mode are "free"but you will be wasting your life on a chink gacha
>>694193075I played this on launch for a few months. If I went back in now would I be really lost?
>>694198945>>694198864the game map isn't 1:1 scale with the lore, just sayingthere are no mounts so the map is balanced around walking/running and zip lines
>>694195352Never noticed that they basically copied Earth's layout.
>>694199012you'd just get put in the same spot you left, but now with more things to explore
>>694199059We can do better.
>>694197202>>694197635Meanwhile Throwbots/Slizer
>>694199012every new map adds shit load more crap new mechanics in every new region, but in the end it's still same game, there was a difficulty spike but they got rid of that and even nerfed any changing puzzles, still fun to roam around tho... some the new area are gorgeous and really makes Mondstadt really feel like the tutorial areas it is, to bad it's still locked behind a gacha
>>694199134SOVL
>>694199134They toned it down for TWW3
>>694199254>India still unplayable wasteland saars...
need a game here
>>694199324redeem the DLC bloody benchod bastard sir
>>694199134>Araby>Kingdoms of Ind>Eastern Steppe>Nippon>Northern and Southern Wastes
>>694195352i love random islands/places in far off parts
>>694199416They have the excuse of being from 1983 and from Manchester
>>694199416you forgot NIGGAROTH right under HUNG
>>694199416Warhammer is five trillion years old, cut them some slack
>>694193075If north of Mondstadt is going to be an expansion, is Snezhnaya north of Fontaine?
>>694201325We don't know. Originally Fontaine was supposed to be the notheastern tip of Teyvatt, hence the unlivable coldness that Venti diverted away from it (you know, it's just Europe and the Golf Stream making a place far north livable when we should be a frozen hellhole like Alaska or Siberia).But since then the whole "Northlander" definition of Mondstadt kind of lost all meaning to fit the next themepark neatly into the map.
>>694201646>Originally FontaineMondo*
>>694193075Left is not Russia but wtf is the right continent? And why are they so many ch bigger compared to the other nations?
come home
>>694198525They want you to play the game like that. You are only screwed if you want to binge it for 10 hours a day.
>>694201936>wtf is the right continent?Northern Mondstadt
>>694202350soullesssuperior version coming through
>>694199059Yes although it's funny the India equivalent was broken off from Eurasia and Austrialia is massive
>>694201936>Left is not Russiai remember some mondstadt character saying it was north
> In a tale of Swords and Souls
>>694203832SOON switch bros
>>694197861great map, ugly MAP
>>694197861lost 3 months of my life there
>>694204376you lost nothing buddeh, no good time is spent time!
>>694193075Have we ever had a /v/ style game maps thread fuse with a /tg/ style world building thread? I'd like to hear what a fa/tg/uy has to say about vidya map layouts.
>>694193597Holy shit I spent my whole life not knowing that was a bridge, I thought it was a ladder and donut plains was above the starting area.
>>694204798How though? Your image shows both a ladder and bridge in the same image you should have noticed they weren't the same.
>>694204376I'm sorry for your loss
>>694204447>>694205056I had fun though.
>>694204942It looked a bit different on a CRT TV back in the 90s. Sure the ladder and bridge are different but in top down it's hard to differentiate vertical height and cardinal north. Never saw the water under the bridge until now.
>>694205123I can see it in a way. The bridge looks like a ladder from farther away like its giving you a depth of field effect. Like its a diarama and the ladder plateau on the left is closer to you than the bridge ladder to the right.
our lovebird stripped the sides of the map that came in the case
>>694194187Don'tmake mereinstall
>>694197202I hate game of thrones, and i hate George Martin even more>Why he's an amazing writer.He's a fraud who just stole history lessons and gave it a new fresh paint of nothing but false drama and degeneracy.Pic related is Westeros flipped
>>694196213What game?
>>694206013Don't believe me yet? Sure>War of the roses, which included the house of Lancaster>The war of the war of the roses gave rise to the EARL OF WARWICK (which is the inspiration for Tywin Lannister)>North pushes south, which we saw several times.>Scottish war of independence.>Which saw the rise of the Scottish leader Robert the Bruce... >ROB(ert) STARK. Who pushes the southerners (English) back.
>>694206287But George Martin didn't just steal English history, he plagiarized the northerners as well, pic related once again.>b-b-but papa Martin admitted to being inspired by medieval englandFair point, but inspiration quickly turns to plagiarism when you copy shit, that's all what Martin did, he just copied different leaders from different time periods and put them in the same place at the same time.I've never seen such a fraud.
>>694206271Ashen Empires.
yay Skeumorphism
>>694199152This kind of stupid, "on your face" worlds are actually kino because they're straight on what they offer and makes you want to know what the place is like.If a world map isn't making you go "I wanna see check this place", then what's the point.
>>694206446Uh huh
>>694206595
>>694206513Nice! Map looks comfy
>>694199152What stops the Lava section from obliterating the grass section right next to it?
>>694206013the south is spainotherwise yes, it's all literally just britain
>>694206802The border, duh. The great leader built a big border wall and made the lava section pay for it.
>>694206649Hey man, proves my point further
>>694206013>>694206287This is bad why?
>>694195352
>>694203832There is something about that planet
so is this fantasy Iberia then?I've never been but shits square alright
>>694204376why
>>694197516does this look stupid to you, too? it should. i don't know if he intentionally made the continents squared or just made it look like the people drew that map based on their limited knowledge of cartography.
>>694207475Very glad you asked!The first reason is: This fat fuck is being held up on a pedestal as a genius even though even you can come up with a setting far more original and thoughtful than hisSecondly, and most importantly, as i stated, he took English history, and clearly Finnish symbolism by the looks of it as proven by>>694206649And made it worse, far worse>how is it worseThe book of a song of ice and fire is utterly meaningless, it's just a void where everyone's miserable, there's no greater meaning, it is a sick perversion of all the brave heroes who fell for England to be a great power, it is a mockery of genuine people who struggled, suffered, but lived to see yet another day.Not even the spastic of /pol/acks will be disease ridden enough to pull off what mockery Martin pulled off.
>>694207974>it is a sick perversion of all the brave heroes who fell for England to be a great powervery much unlike you
>>694203370Man I love King of Dragon Pass.
>>694193075>that massive expanse of emptry desert is bigger than all of FontaineGod Sumeru was such a letdown.
>>694206287>>694206446>Kingdom flagsI sometimes wonder if we should go back to the old kingdoms.
i hate it that i liked it
>>694206013i hate asoiaf but only because the disgusting show(s) traumatized me. i can't take anything from that universe seriously anymore. it's dead to me. demystified. bleak. vomit-inducing.
>>694203732Home...
>>694208818the book is obviously completely different and better, but still disgusting, even more so, lol
>>694195352I wish more games had flat earths as settings, weyard having a second layer in dark dawn post-golden sun was kino
>>694204767it's crazy how 'small' Dark Souls actually is
>>694209087>it's crazy how 'small' Dark Souls actually isBut its density is what makes it highly replayable. Open world games stop being special when you've traversed long stretches of emptiness for the fiftieth time per game.
Did anyone else here play it?
>>694206649>>694206446To be fair considering how many cities, states, counties, provinces, empires, republics and countries have and had coat of arms in the history of the world, it would be pretty hard to desing original ones.
>>694207974>it is a sick perversion of all the brave heroes who fell for England to be a great power, it is a mockery of genuine people who struggled, suffered, but lived to see yet another day.You know historical fiction with straight up dead historical figures as characters is a genre, right?Especially with Chinese history it's very common, your autism is not universal
>>694209446What game is this? Did they get sued for ripping off the map from Risk?
does anyone have a map of princess peach's eyes?
>>694209714I tried really hard to find a screenshot of the ingame map but I couldn't.
So glad i finally got to play red dead redemption 1, the zombie mode map is Soul, they could have just copy and pasted the map but they added a little more style for it.Very cool
>>694193075Not so much a game overworld map, but if a Batman game actually represented Gotham this would be the map.
i can't find a map of sacred that fits 4chans 4 mb limit but i did find one for sacred, the maps are insanely huge
>>694209414Painted World of Ariamis and Ash Lake are just places people don't go ever.
>>694206595>images you can hear
>>694210329>i can't find a map of sacred that fits 4chans 4 mb limiti mean sacred 2, fuck
recent one which was a great remaster, nightdive studios at it again
>>694193075ah yes

>>694207946Oh hey that's an old nautical map. That's not a case of limited knowledge of cartography, that's deformed on purpose. The idea is that it's a map for coastal seafarers, so the coastlines are elongated and the inlands parts squished to make room to mark the coastal cities, which are the biggest thing the people using these kinds of maps cared about. This is most obvious around Italy as well as the Dardanelles strait - lots of deforming there to fit in all those city names.
>>694197861I get hard just looking at bottom left
>>694197516>god it's fucking stupidIt had to fit on a book page
>>694209654If what you're doing is basically a retelling of english history anyway, might as well stick with english / saxon heraldry instead of mongol scribbles.
>>694208423Tomb raiding was fun imo
>>694212975go away george, page size isn't an excuse for shit maps
>>694213176rectangle continents is optimal for book pages
>>694197892No but guys if you look closely it's actually a faggot.
>>694203832This map looks so small but ingame its absolutely massive.
>>694198525Honestly depends on your autism level. If you want to min max every bit of damage or healing you can you'll likely spend 2 hours a day everyday. If not, you spend 5-15 minutes a day so that you get your basic currency allotment and then spend time doing exploration and quests when they release and when you have free time. I played pretty "hardcore" in 2022 and according to their statistics I only played 60 hours a year. For reference it took me 140 hours last year to complete a single playthrough of BG3 (actually much more because I'd get stuck on boss fights and instead of thinking I'd brute force them till I got lucky).
I wish any game would come close to that moment when you cross the end of the world
>>694194385I can't wait until TR is complete in 2040
>>694197202GoT map has got to be the ugliest map I've ever seen
>>694214941It's just Anatolia and upside down Great Britain
I always liked Dragon Age's map, and its in the southern hemisphere which is kinda uniqueShame what happened to the series though
>>694193156No. Its north of not Germany. And the whole northern region (including a port city) of not Germany is missing.
Not the biggest fan of FE4 but the fact that every chapter connects to a different one is cool as fuck especially considering you basically cover the entire game world by the end.
>>694212562
>You see that island? You can go to it.
>>694197818is this that alien/monster fucker game?
>>694215063Turkey's shape is ugly too, like a big turd
>>694209214I love Bloodborne but was extremely disappointment how small it was. Especially the city of Yharnam is just sad.
>>694211008I miss the old style of LOTRO maps so much.
>>694197202Why is the GoT map so stupid, it's just two rectangles, a vertical and a horizontal one
>>694217719I was gonna say that but it seemed to be getting enough hate as it is. But yeah something about it looks so shit and unimaginative. It's like if a toddler drew Turkey and Greece
>>694218519>>694217719They're book pages
>>694193075>reverse image this>gacha garbagelol
>>694219665is this Unturned?
>>694220483Neat, huh?
>>694220609This does raise a question though, why do fantasy map makers always put the ocean biome (and accompanying naval power) to the south?
>>694221302I think its Fallout New Vegas but I havent played the game since it came out.
Not so much a map but a bird's eye view of a level which is kinda the same.
>>694222914
>>694214941I have zero knowledge of geography, whether it be fantasy or otherwise so I can't comment on the beauty of it. But it is infuriating that the largest parts of Essos are just lying there empty. Almost all the cities are tiny, yet they seem to have armies and economies the size of Lannisters or Tyrells. GRRM likes to pretend to know history but really he has the inklings of history that he hasn't updated even though wikipedia was released when he wrote AFFC.
>>694206802Magnets.
>>694222682North hemisphere brain, north = cold = frozen ports, south = close to the equator = warm winter ports
>World map is just a copy of Earth>World map is just one giant continentIs there anything more lame than those?
>>694220609Why does the Black Sea being half covered up bother me more than Iberia being dragged and dropped on France?
>>694199134>HUNGWhat happens there?
>>694223119>MagnetsDoesn't work. Magnetic metals cease being magnetic when they become hot as electrons are not bonded to the element. Watch the video and see for yourself.https://youtu.be/haVX24hOwQI
>>694208153I'm not English, but i can respect those who sacrificed for a better tomorrow no matter what nationality, race or religion they are.>>694209708Yes, that is correct, but at the very least most of them try to portray the figures in a positive light, it's closer to a love letter.What Martin did, was take these people, made them into pedophiles and perverts or incompetent buffoons (even though most of them didn't fit any of these criteria) and went on from there.Don't you think that it's perhaps a little insulting to do this? If not to English history then clearly to the people who went through thick and thin alike just to be portrayed that way?
>>694209654I absolutely agree, there's almost no room for originality at this point But, the historical leaders are clearly stolen from English history, if anything, the sigils of the houses are the only decent thing from George.

>>694193075my favorite game of the snes trilogy, final fantasy 6 was boring and overrated, even more so than 7 (and 7 was actually good)
/v/ map threads are fun
