Reader Discussion: What Is Your Favorite Type Of Game Setting?

While many gamers will gleefully play games across a variety of settings, deep down in your heart of hearts, you probably have a favorite. Whether it’s the sword and board of fantasy settings or the lasers of space conflict, we want to know which sandbox is your favorite.

As games get larger and more complex, the worlds in which we invest dozens (or hundreds) of hours take shape as omnipresent characters. Perhaps you relate more to The Elder Scrolls Tamriel or Dragon Age’s Thedas. Maybe you prefer the shining future of Mass Effect’s galaxy or the war torn planets Halo predicts.

If you prefer more realistic or contemporary experiences, the vibrant cities of Grand Theft Auto, lush jungles of Far Cry, or even the desolate wasteland portrayed in Fallout could be where you’d spend your vacation. We’re eager to learn where you like to play. Don’t be afraid to get specific.
