I'm enjoying a special gaming experience, as my local City (London) which is 20 minutes away, is enjoying a gaming focus. I'm just re-playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate ahead of back-to back plays of Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. How often does your town or city get done in games and how do you feel about that?

Where I live is sometimes featured in games. However, because I mostly like fantasy and sci fi, it is not usually in the games I play.

New York City is in about every second game out there. Best one so far is definitely The Division. EDIT: I mean best depiction of NYC, not necessarily best game where the city features of course.)

And never gonna happen either I'm pretty sure. *lives in the middle of nowhere* Same here really nobody I know plays a lo tof games at least not to the extent I do TBH the only games my brother plays tbh is COD an da little bit of Fifa onnline I think. I on the othe rhan dpertty muc hspend m ydays gaming mostly offlin ethough sa I prefer single player experiences due to the fact I find it hard to play with other sand keep up mostly due to my disability. I don' ttend t owatch a lot of TV o rmovies these days as I find most of it to be rubbish. Pretty muc hthe onl ythings I do when not gaming is sleeping eating o rgoing to the toilet. No tnecessaril yin that order though. I'm no treally on efo rventuring ou tand tbh what with what's going on atm with the pandemic that's probably a good thing. So gaming is probably the only thing I do really enjoy these days. Thankfully I do hav ea prett ybig librar yof games to chose from though. Games I haven't got round to trying yet or games that I just feel like going through again.

I've lived close to Vancouver, B.C. for most of my life. I love Firebase: Vancouver in ME3MP. The occasional game has reference to various Vancouver themes but mostly I've been surprised how much sci-fi is being filmed there in the last two decades. I've stayed in the hotel overlooking where Stargate is filmed. Tonnes of familiar film locations throughout the show, including the hotel itself. Battlestar Galactica, particularly the Vancouver Library. Very unique building. In the city I am actually living in right now, Victoria, B.C., there are a few film locations I can recognize. Royal Roads University was used in a few things, notably Xmen's mansion. Actually did some random work there, the place is as beautiful as you'd think.
Pretty sure I've never seen anything related to Victoria or its surroundings appear in a game though.

I live in a small town with a castle ruin that may get tons of tourists from all over the state for some reason but I'm 99.9% sure it will never feature in a videogame.
Frankfurt where I work might. I've never played one featuring this city but that doesn't mean none exists. If somebody knows one, let me know!

Well...New Zealand is a myth. So, I guess Auckland is unlikely to be featured in a game any time soon.

Yeah the onl yplace tha tis kind o fremotel yclose to me that's been in a video gam eis probably London. But then even there I live about 60 miles away.As I know that it's used in the NFS Shift games and of course it's where the final level of ME3 takes place as well. But that's reall ythe closest video game location to me. TBH that's probably the closest to having a game near me that I've had

Nonsense. Every time I ride through Velen or the Hinterlands, it's just like home.

Well unless someone makes a game on the war of 1812 or something. Then my town could be forest #196! Haha. Because that's probably what is was back then!

Unless someone makes a game that deals with the beginning of the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia, then absolutely never.
However, there is a game that is more an interactive learning tool about the aftermath of the Heydrich assassination (eat it you Nazi fuck!) so maybe in the future.

I live in a village with a population of less than 900, so never ever. And I'm perfectly fine with that.
However, the nearby Eder dam has appeared in a Call of Duty or Medal of Honor game (can't tell them apart anymore in retrospect) and in some variant of Dam Busters. Neither version looked even close to the actual place - the only thing they got right both times was that there was lots of water involved.

My town will never be in a video game, either Too inconsequential, yet too many strip malls and car dealerships to resemble the Hinterlands. The closest place I know of with any gaming connection whatsoever is Austin, since BW has a studio there, but I don't know of any games actually taking place there. Probably would be fun to see it if anyone did a faithful recreation, though.

Hitman 2, the fictional town of Whittleton Creek, Vermont, from when I used to live in New Hampshire. It's pretty spot-on in terms of aesthetic, with lots of postcard-worthy views and large backyards, minus the murder-basement and secret Soviet bunker.
Now, the area of Utah I live now... It looks like a "Smallville, Kansas", complete with farmer's markets (best corn west of the Mississippi), a local pizza shop, and a cookie bakery (get the S'mores flavor).
It's pretty great.
About 45 minutes away is Salt Lake City, and with all the new skyscrapers scheduled for construction, it's looking more and more like a Metropolis.
Now all I need is a red cape.

I grew up in NYC, so there’s that and it’s myriad depictions. I don’t play that many games with modern settings though so I can’t pick out a favorite one.
Now I live in Boston, which was in Assassin’s Creed 3, I think, though I haven’t played it. I can’t think of anything else where Boston showed up specifically..
