WILD ARMS 3

Dune 2

Go back, Mohammed.

Also, deserts are the worst settings in vidya, and the desert stage is always objectively the worst stage in any game it appears in.

Counterpoint: sewers.

>>14542120

I'm a Khergit, not a Sarranid

>>14542133

>sewers

<linear, annoying, literally shitty but at least they're over quick because it's just a corridor

>deserts

<endless fucking sand which slows down your movement

<takes forever to get anywhere

<the music style is more predictable than sleigh bells in winter stages

>>14542113

Journey :^)

Kenshi

>but at least they're over quick

Xenogears, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 both disagree extremely.

I fucking hate deserts.

I will never play a game that is centered about this terrible biome.

>>14542113

>sleep

Good taste you faggot.

>>14542164

I played Xenogears and severs end pretty quick, what are you talking about? They do have some strong enemies, but you finish them in like 30 minutes if you're leveled and geared properly.

Unless you mean dungeons of disk 2, which are not technically sewers.

>>14542113

>Sleep

My nigger.

>>14542120

>worst setting in vidya

>not lava levels

Opinion discarded.

>>14542167

Fish detected. Better go hide, before the nips bait you again.

>there will never be a Sleep videogame about making a mind-numbingly slow pilgrimmage to a space weed temple

>>14542244

That doesn't sound like a bad videogame.

>>14542244

>no OM and High On Fire spin-offs either, à la FF 18nd²³ X-3.14 Rainbow Tournament Edition

Time for a drink, tbh.

>>14542120

deserts are best

>>14542215

Are you high? BOF4 starts in a desert.

>>14542303

Good taste as well.

Rayman has some desert levels.

>>14542320

Nigger, the actual desert part is when you return to it and get to control flying ship to race around it.

Intro is meh, but serviceable since you spend most of your time in towns and combat.

>>14542350

>Nigger, the actual desert part is when you return to it and get to control flying ship to race around it.

Which is funny because that's just a reskin of the boat section from BOF3, while the plains segment you mentioned before is just the desert of Death.

>>14542331

>no YURO truck simulator in space, either

Why do I have this strange yearning for all things "mundane stuff in futuristic space"?

rogue galaxy starts in a desert

>>14542363

Do racing games even count? Their levels are mostly just skins, except for slippery ice.

>>14542375

God that game is shit. Battle system is fun, but everything else is god awful.

>>14542381

You could say that of any game

In the end a level is a bunch of geometry with a skin on top of it

>>14542355

Because you wanna escape the current hell on Earth? Just a guess.

>>14542113

Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 Desert Regions were the worst.

Drop out of life with bong in hand

Follow the smoke toward the riff filled land

Drop out of life with bong in hand

Follow the smoke toward the riff filled land

Proceeds the weedian - Nazareth

**Proceeds the weedian - Nazareth

Creedsmen roll out across the dying dawn

Sacred Israel holy mountain Zion

Sun beams down on to the sandsea reigns

Caravan migrates through deep sandscape

Lungsmen unearth the creed of Hasheeshian

Procession of the weed-priests to cross the sands

Desert legion smoke-covenant is complete

Herb bails retied on to backs of beasts

Arise arise arise - The Son of the God of Israel

Jordan river flows on evermore

Bathe in glow of sunlight’s beating rays

They feel the serpent's standard rule our days

Stoner caravan emerge from sandsea

Earthling inserts to chalice the green cutchie

Groundation soul finds trust upon smoking hose

Assembled creedsmen rises prayer-filled smoke

Raise up seer’s holy prophecy

Plants down on upon years of the sun now feeds

Seed of Eden fall on nurtured soil

Onward caravan prepare new bong

>>14542355

but there is one, E:D, the problem is it's an awful game

>>14542113

There is a point-and-click adventure Dune game. There is Dune 2, 2000, Emperor: Battle For Dune. But that's all I can think of that actually use a desert desert and not "Wasteland"

>>14542133

>Counterpoint: sewers.

Counterpoint: warehouses with boxes everywhere

>>14542113

all the shantae games.

>>14542410

I guess it's close enough, but I was thinking more along the lines of that Cowbob Beepboop episode or the setting in Planetes.

>>14542387

Please Mr. Wizard, take me far, far away.

>>14542133

>>14542154

Counterpoint: FEAR had some amazing sewer levels

The first signs of the Replica assassin for example were fucking stellar and would not have worked as well in any other environment.

Sewers feel dirty, dark and confined by design. They lend themselves well to stealth games, since they can actually be combined with other elements such as catacombs, subways, underground parking garages, or storm-drains, each having their own unique look and feel. All of them can be connected to the sewers, which allows you to do an entire underground section of the game, and connect major hubs easily without going over ground.

>>14542160

Unironically this

>>14542835

My nigger; brb reinstalling

Foo Foo Fantasy 12.

The game's like, all desert.

A really, really gay desert.

>>14542120

>>14542154

Hang yourself my man

>>14542172

I like Sleep but that song was always too long for my liking. It was a bit too much like drone metal.

>>14542172

This makes me want to play Hotline Miami again. Good shit.

>>14542355

Because mundane things in space are genuinely cool and significantly more immersive than the tired old epic space operas. I'd say that's because background lore for performing mundane tasks has to be significantly more detailed and well thought out than one for some epic quest, and it's those little details that draw you into the world.

>>14549847

I can appreciate a good desert level, but snow levels are superior objectively in every single way, mate.

>>14542404

>>14542835

Woah that looks awesome, thanks for posting it

>>14542172

Dank as hell. You made this thread worthwhile.

>>14542167

You are definitely right that out of all the half-assed video game biome abstractions out there, desert is the fucking worst. Real deserts are actually full of interesting shit if you're a autist naturalist like me.
