What do you think is the best game world ever created?

I vote Empire Bay from Mafia II, the attention to detail was fantastic, the pedestrains and cars all gave that 40s/50s feel, the game world was very immersive.

I think the best game world will be those islands in far cry 3.

Probably Wind Waker for me. Not because of its size or number of things you can do in it, since there are many other games that offer more of that, but because of the atmosphere and graphics and things like that. If I could live in a game world, it would be Wind Waker's. :P

Warcraft

The Pokemon world.

IMO Tallon IV from Metroid Prime.

Theres too many 2 choose from so i will make a list of nominees:

Farcry 3s island- Does look amazing

Cyrodiil or Morrowind from the Elder Scrolls series

Rapture from Bioshock

Enslaved OTTWs world

New Vegas from Fallout:NV

San Andreas from GTA

Deus Ex HRs world

Any world featured in the Fable games

Any world featured in the 3D console Zelda games ( OOT, etc )

Assassins Creed 2s world

Yea i know, i dont know any of the names of these places.

Fallout 3 hands dows. Skyrim was also good. Rapture was notable mention.

Other great worlds to be considered are The Saboteur and Mafia 2.

-Tallon IV from Metroid Prime was genius in its attention to detail. The world told a complete story in and of itself

-The great ocean from Wind Waker. If there is one thing that spells out adventure to me, it's the open sea. No greater feeling than discovering and exploring new mysterious islands. I get goosebumps when I see the silhouette of a new place on the horizon.

Things like Rapture of Bioshock, the wastelands of Fallout, and Skyrim come to mind. But I would also say the worlds of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. They are bleak, oppressive, and teeming with hidden places to find. Not to mention all the fantastically designed enemies looking to kill you at every turn.

Skyrim,WoW and ME universe would be my top 3 fav worlds.

Warcraft is number one in this one it's alive and breathing

The fantastic world of Vana'diel, from the shores of Valkurm Dunes to the beautiful forests of The Sanctuary of Zitah. Bonus to anyone that knows what game I'm talking about. I'm honestly starting to miss it...

Best game ever is ass muncher 3000, the name says it all. wow what a game, more realistic then crysis and forza 3, it's next gen shame ass muncher 4000 was cancelled due being to expensive.

Final Fantasy VIII also had a interesting world, I mean a flying school is pretty **** incredible.

IMO Tallon IV from Metroid Prime.

Nintendo_Ownes7

Completely this.

Ok to be honest i will say final fantasy 7 and 8 and 9, those are games that shaped the gaming industry, can i add carnageddon ok ok, i'll be fair final fantasy 8 for simply brilliant world.

Good old Final Fantasy XI. Played that game for 8 years and was my first MMO. Fond memories, but every time I think of playing again. I remind myself of how much of a tedious "sit and wait" grind the game was and still is in many ways. Then I get slapped back into reality.

STALKER SoC. Especially with mods and on Master difficulty. When you walk out and come across everyone sitting around the campfire and the crash of thunder heralds a rainstorm. You can hear the howl of dogs and boars fighting in the distance and gunshots. No matter what faction you come across in the oppressive unforgiving wasteland your left with a feeling that none of them are cheesy evil bad guys. They're men brought together by necessity, and leave as family. There are of course plenty of others far better than the stuff you guys are mentioning. Diablo (the first one), Vampire Masquerade, System Shock 2 (infinitely better than that tripe that was biosuck), the first Homeworld and Cataclysm (much better than homeworld 2), the X games, Icewind Dale, Dreamfall, and EVE online.Vangaurdius

Fall out killed stalker, dam developers gave up and quit no more stalker. there games to complex for average gamer, sad tale that.

Yeah I was one of the people that got burned buying FFXIV on release day. I'm still bitter about it. But I'll probably end up giving it a second chance when 2.0 hits late this year. Until them I'm more than happy playing TOR and trying out GW2 and The Secret World.

This is best game in world http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQGIjmJfJoI&feature=relmfu

So funny lol we need 2 to come out, omg he looks like charlie sheen on smack lol, i wish they make part 2 :(

The Mass Effect universe.

The KOTOR universe.

Mass Effect

Dark Souls

Demon's Souls

Shadow of the Colossus/ICO

MGS

BioShock

Grand Theft Auto series

Red Dead Redemption

etc

Norrath from Everquest. So much content to devour. Never before and never since have I spent hours upon hours reading lore about civilizations, races, events, items and quests like I did for Everquest. Everything post Planes of Power was rather lame but everything before that was brilliant. Especially the Iksar. Ruins of Kunark = best expansion ever.

probably wow, the sheer variety in zones now over a game and 3 expansions.

I think the selling point for a game world to me is the desire to keep exploring and see what else the devs came up with.

GTA4 - Even though I hated the game, the city was definitely a living thing.

FO3 - Appreciated the depth of it all.

Rapture - Just a crazy/fun idea overall.

Probably Wind Waker for me. Not because of its size or number of things you can do in it, since there are many other games that offer more of that, but because of the atmosphere and graphics and things like that. If I could live in a game world, it would be Wind Waker's. :P

Skyrim or WoW. Skyrim's world just felt alive and is a place where you would want to walk everywhere. World of Warcraft for its sheer vastness and variety between the areas.godfather_1

Current gen-Arkham City

All time-Final Fantasy 7 (Deal with it)

In terms of overall game world and universe I find it hard to top the Mass Effect series, but on a smaller scale, talking about atmosphere and the type of "world" I think you're referring to maybe RDR. Bioshock also had an incredible atmosphere, but again I feel like you're talking more about design and exploration.
