I expected some Xenoblade cities in here

 

[Silentium]

Kaineng City, Guild Wars

+1 Balmora, Morrowind

 

[Dennis]

Liberty City

 

[origamipirate]

Illusion of Gaia - South Cape

 

[BrainZEROX]

The different towns in the Assassin's Creed series. I was blown away in the first Assassin's Creed, I loved the settings in this game.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Colony Nine, Xenoblade

Meltokio, Tales of Symphonia

Clock Town, Zelda MM

Taris, KOTOR

Kakariko Village, ALTTP

Castle Town, Minish Cap

 

[hayguyz]

Why do people post pictures or names without saying the game it's from? That's so aggravating!

 

[DarkKyo]

So much to explore(so many secret spots and such) and the music is so cheery!

More great music and such a great atmosphere. You can practically feel the warm humid paradise yourself when you are in there.

I also love Blackwater from Red Dead Redemption. A lot of great story segments take place there and when the zombies broke out in the DLC it was incredibly hectic and enjoyable to run and gun around corners and down alleys.

 

[01DragonFly]

there is no other place as magical as this town in any other game i have played.

 

[Dennis]

Venice - AC 2

 

[MikeE21286]

Please, names and games FFS

 

[thetechkid]

After Venice every town in AC2 feels like poo poo caca.

 

[mxgt]

Booty Bay in WoW was always a favourite of mine

 

[Anth0ny]

Clock Town from Majora's Mask, so many great characters in one place.

Definitely the best. It's a shame no 3D Zelda since has even come close to replicating such a great town. Wind Waker tried, but I don't think Twilight Princess did. Skyward Sword, save us!

 

[gunbo13]

Kaineng City, Guild Wars

Nice but not up to par with the god of GW towns, Lion's Arch. This is especially true for the GW2 revise.

Kaineng is a solid #2 though. Factions had awesome architectural design.

LA also supports the best GW tune out of all the games.

[Dennis]

Pripyat - STALKER

 

[capitalCORN]

Neocron, my first MMO city.

 

[bengraven]

Everything you'll ever need, with a soothing track in the background. Return later for more challenges:

Mabe Village from Link's Awakening

Great, great, great choices.

 

[Steve McQueen]

I really loved this town...too bad Rare doesn't make these kinda games

 

[GhostWriter24]

Rocket Town and Cosmo Canyon from FFVII.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

New Brighwater, in Sudeki

With this awesome soundtrack: Sudeki Soundtrack - New Brightwater

 

[Hylian7]

Shibuya, although a recreation of a real place, it was still done incredibly well.

Game is The World Ends With You.

Spoiler

Still holding out for a Shibuya world in Kingdom Hearts 3D

 

[Hitoribhoshi]

Chronopolis.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Super Mario RPG:

Mushroom Kingdom- It was my first RPG town, and I was kind of blown away.

Monstro Town- Just an odd, neat idea. It feels like a secret, even though you have to end up here. Also the home of Culex.

Megaman Legends:

Kattleox Island- Big, bright, vibrant, and fun. A really unique place.

Wind Waker:

Windfall Island- This place just hits all the right notes. When I first got to this island, I knew that Wind Waker was something special.

Red Dead Redemption:

Armadillo- Everything the old west should be. I could just walk around this town all day, tipping my hat to passersby and waiting for trouble to show up.

 

[bengraven]

My favorites:

(I know it's not really a "town", but not many ranches have a store, bounty office, and train depot)

 

[Dennis]

New York - Crysis 2

 

[Dennis]

My favorites:

 

[NemesisPrime]

Understone.

 

[neoism]

Oh yeah, pretty much all towns from Ragnarok Online:

hell yeah

 

[Speevy]

See, Morrowind had some freaking awesome towns.


No one's listed a single one from Oblivion.

 

[kittoo]

Silent hill, Pripyat, Ravenholm all took way too long! You disappoint me Gaf.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

basically any town in FF8, but especially Winhill.

Love the music, too.

Oblivion cities have been mentioned quite a few times. Bruma is awesome.

 

[sam27368]

Really, PSX-era Final Fantasy had so many great towns.

Amen brother, FF9 and 7 had the best towns/villages out of most games imo. Aside from the mass effect series.

What are these supposed to be? The game looked nothing like that.

 

[Red UFO]

Yes they have, a few times actually...

Another one from me, Beregost from Baldur's Gate.

 

[gunbo13]

Fable 3 Understone.

Shit do I hate most of Fable 2 but you just reminded me of how much I still enjoy some of the towns.

Bowerstone

First time I saw Orgrimmar my jaw dropped. It was my first day playing WoW back in 2005. My first MMO, period. The airship moored to the spire. Onyxia's head on a pike at the gates. Dozens of high level characters hanging out, covered in crazy weapons and armor. The undead mounts. All of the buildings with their open lofts and hammocks that the NPCs didn't even use, but Bliz had taken the time to create them for you to explore. The trolls little water park style home. The creepy cave area where all the magic casters were located. The hall of heroes or whatever it was called. Thrall's throne room. The scale and openness of the whole place just amazed me. I would hang out there just to watch the comings and goings of other players.

[Gomu Gomu]

The Citadel from Mass Effect. Especially ME1. Spent so many hours exploring it.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Every town in PS1's Trilogy of FINAL FANTASY games ( VII - VIII - IX )..... still can't believe they were non in FFXIII -_-"

SE used to make the best towns in gaming..... Let's hope we get some of the magic back with FFXIII-2.

 

[Dennis]

 

[FateBreaker]

Understone.

Yeah, this was pretty cool.

 

[Dennis]

 

[Kuran]

The fog/field of vision and blurry textures in Morrowind are so hard to look at these days. I think Daggerfall aged better..

Also, WOW towns are so disgustingly scaled. Blech!

 

[biosnake20]

 

[Broder Salsa]

Silent Hill 1-3.

This is my answer. Easily my favorite town in any game.

Another one is the tibetan village in uncharted 2, just walking through it was one of my best moments this gen.

 

[Taichu]

Stornway from Dragon Quest IX

Castelia City from Pokemon Black/White

Your personal town in Animal Crossing Wild World

Also loved Mabe Village and the Animal Village from Link's Awakening, which was already mentioned.

 

[Mista Koo]

Even though I never played it, but the same can be said about almost all towns in this thread :lol.

 

[Marsipolami]

+1 Balmora, Morrowind

Megaton, Fallout 3

So much better than any of the towns in New Vegas.
