Arkham Noir
With black birds following me
While I'm not usually the kind of gamer to put much emphasis on graphics when it comes to the games I enjoy, I will say that the one thing the advancment in graphics has given us over the years is fuller and more captivating environments in games. I love the 8-bit Brinstar as much as the next person , but there is something to be said for an environment that looks and feels reals. So my question to you is: what is your favourite setting for a game? It can be something as vague as the entire Mushroom Kingdom, or it can be something specific like Phendrana Drifts in Metroid Prime.
My favourite setting for a game is actually based off of a real place; Venice, Italy in the 1400's , Assassin's Creed II. Of all the different places you visit throughout the Assassin's Creed franchise, this is the one city that I enjoyed the most. The canals you can traverse using the Gondolas is really the icing on the cake that takes it for me. Nothing really compares to traversing the water at night with the moon reflecting off of the water. The other big thing that attracts me to this particular setting is when the carnival takes over the city during the one memory sequence. It just brings the whole atmosphere to life for me.
