[QUOTE=Fulsam;47813902]I have a thing for space ships and space stations.
One of my favorite things, however, is revisiting an exact location after shit has gone down, or in a sequel. I'm obsessed with seeing how things changed, or how different the location now feels.
Although Halo: CE pretty much did this for 50% of the game, I loved the contrasting themes whenever you revisited a level. Assault on the Control Room had you fighting grand battles in the daytime alongside your marine buddies. When you revisit the same place at night after the flood is released, you're all alone.
Half Life also did this with you revisiting areas from Anomalous Materials after everything went to shit in Unforseen Consequences, and Doom 3 did something very similar with Mars City. Half Life 2 had you revisit Kleiner's lab after the uprising. I think Opposing Force had you revisit some Half Life areas, also.[/QUOTE]
It was pretty cool in Metal Gear Solid 4 when [sp]you returned to Shadow Moses Island. I loved the small bit of MGS1 you get to replay beforehand to demonstrate Snake's memories of it.[/sp]
sewer levels

No. And I hope you rot for saying that.
[QUOTE=Renegade Master;47813944]sewer levels[/QUOTE]
Please justify this somehow.
The Cafe of Broken Dreams (Fallout 2) and The Hive from Planescape: Torment. And the Smoldering Corpse bar. Screw it, pretty much everywhere from Planescape: Torment.
Half-Life 2's Lost Coast. "Tower" level at the end of Metro 2033
Anywhere but sewers and swamps
I like big, open areas that you can walk around in an just explore for a while.
I don't really know how to describe them but places like the Labyrinth Of Amala

I like it when it feels populated, and not empty
kinda tough to describe i think
ruins and tombs. They're my favorite enviroments.
I've always been a sucker for old derelict mansions/castles.
Bonus points if they are haunted.
i love dark/depressing/brutal rooms
Gothic Castles are a favourite, better if they're in ruins.
I like highly industrial places, like the Forge Worlds in 40K games and the factory levels in Donkey Kong Country.
I also like floating islands.
I guess it's thanks to Super Mario 64 but I always like a nice big building with loads of places to explore in it.
Black Mesa
Abstract areas such as you see in the Alice in Wonderland movies, snowy, mountainous forests, and dark gothic castles are definitely the best in my opinion.
I like of lot of places in games, but I really love snow levels (snow, not ice), tropical levels, expansive and populated cities, large castles, usually everything with gothic architecture, sky levels, jungles and forests, and cave systems that have blue or green ambient glow.
I have a bunch more, but I feel like there would be too many to list.
Anyplace in a game where I can hear rippling streams.
Sci-Fi cityscapes.
[QUOTE=unrezt;47812174]Winter areas like Shiverpeaks in Guild Wars.[/QUOTE]
I really liked the Grizzly Hills area in WoW. The music still makes nostalgic.

Places fucked by the environment.
E.g. title screen of Spec Ops: The Line.

Mountain areas with snow-tipped mountains surrounded by trees and lakes. And castles and cathedrals too where you can hear the sounds echo through the place.
places like a port or a dock near the ocean, especially if the game has nice sound for the ocean. or hell, riding a boat through the ocean. ac4 was fun for that because of how chill it was to just sail along.
[QUOTE=matt000024;47813978]Please justify this somehow.[/QUOTE]
sometimes when i play video games they just get too fun or have too much color and i need to play a shitty (literally) level once in a while
it's like when you taste fine wine but you drink toilet water someone's pissed in beforehand so the wine tastes better in comparison
Forests and castles.
Rainy levels.
Hard Rain from Left 4 Dead 2, and Kamino in Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 come to mind.
Anything that looks like where I live :

And rainy maps too
