I approve.
Normandy was great and definitely deserves the first spot, as well, so overall it's a good list.
Lol'ed at Mother Base tho, hahaha.

Loved the shout out to Donima residence. Normandy is M2 was god tier, I loved walking around it and discovering the constant flow of new things in it.
Normandy in M3 was a pile of hot garbage that had nothing going on in it.

Big fan of Skyhold and Ebon Hawk, which they omitted.

Pretty solid list, though I'd opt for something a little less "solid" by replacing Mother Base with Crescent Isle. The Nexus and Dojima residence are a nice surprise.

You can't do that in MGSV? The demo they revealed way back made it seem like you could and that there was a lot to do. When I saw Carrington Institute pop up I was really wondering what's wrong with Mother Base since every time O played Perfect Dark I found no reason to stick in the Carrington Institute for more than a few minutes. In my last playthrough I don't think I spent one minute in there.
I was expecting Lara's mansion to show up too.

Solid list. I kind of just want to fire up a Mass Effect 2 save and talk to my crew.
Yes. I agree. I love my P3 dorm and how lively it is. P4 Dojima residence is neat and all but not exactly a place to hang.
Evilore said not to spoiler tag lists so deal w it
Closest similarities would probably be the Secret Bases in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald or your physical home in Gold/Silver/Crystal.

Skyhold was too big for its own good. Made talking to party members and NPCs a chore.

Not really a home base tbh (it doesn't serve that function in the games even though it does in the fiction)

I have fond memories of Jijimon's House in Digimon World, watching that place fill up and expand as a kid.
Who's with me guys! Guys?

Why in god's name should a simple list be in spoiler tags?
Can't think of a better pick for the top spot. Uncharted Worlds still the GOAT.
Urge to replay Mass Effect rising...

My personal home base in Morrowind was the town of Balmora. That's my #1, even though it's not a proper home base at all. In Skyrim, my home base town was Windhelm.
BTW, that list isn't complete without the mansion from GTA: Vice City.

Thanks.
Yea was surprised that wasn't on the list at all also the airship in Final Fantasy X or X-2 (as its used the whole game could of been a good one to add).

Oh please, the Dojima residence? If P3 was anywhere near as popular as P4 nobody would even be talking about P4's hub, it's not even a contest.
Not a bad list, definitely couldn't agree more with the number 1 choice. Man I fucking miss Mass Effect. Andromeda better make it out next year...
I always felt like such a boss whenever I was in the Normandy, completely invincible just flying through space...which is probably a big part of why the beginning of ME2 was so shocking.

Beyond beating up your soldiers and some cutscenes, there's not much else to do. I loved the concept though and just wished you could train your soldiers, see people doing platform-specific work, see all your vehicles/animals (or at least two of each type), actually talk/interact with soldiers & NPCs beyond CQC interrogations, see mess halls and sleeping quarters being used, and other stuff to make spending time there feel more significant, even if it had the same effects on the game/gameplay that the final product does.
Even something on a smaller, yet more intimate scale would be better to me, which is why I asked for suggestions.
Ok guys, I have a question. Don't know if this merits a new thread, so I'll ask here.
I've been out of gaming for some time, and I learned just now of Defy's overtake of Gametrailers.com and them firing 2/3 of the staff. The fuck.
I only got to know that because the page has been utterly, utterly broken for me today, so I went to Wikipedia to see if it has been 'abandoned'.
First of all, most of the videos won't play on any of my PCs, in any browser. Including the OPs video.
Second, the page seems extremely empty. The description is one line, all the comments are gone, there are no other videos being recommended, nothing.
Third, when I hover my mouse over "Reviews" in the top menu, the first three entries are "Review" and then there's splatoon and another game. What the hell.
Can anyone confirm?

I was ruined by Suikoden 2 (and the rest of the series) and now this is in my top 3 features I want in a game. Hell it's the reason I backed Cosmic Star Heroine (You knew exactly how to get me to open my wallet Robert).
Are there more games other RPGS than Skies, Overlord and the Bioware and Obsidian games that have this feature? I love me a good home base.

I would put Hunter's Dream (Bloodborne) on the list somewhere because it's such a cozy, safe haven from all the threats out there, and an epic boss fight is also near the location.

Yea Suikoden 2 should be king. I don't think any have played it (I know been hasn't) so it becomes obvious in lists like this. I mean no Suikoden fan would pick 1 over 2.

Yeah... Skies of Arcadia definitely deserves a mention.
New site launched this week and they are still in process of fixing bugs and moving content from old site. Until they finish work on new site you can watch all their videos on Youtube.

Well Galaxy 2 also had the Face Ship.
And Galaxy 1 has Rosalina's space station.
What the hell is the issue with putting the list into a spoiler-tag, as long as it is just one tag instead of one for each number? I usually learn of these videos first here on GAF, so I click the thread to get to the link fastest. Why would I want to see the list right then and there before watching the video? If I don't want to watch the video I'll just click once on the black bars and see the list. Perfect and easy solution for anyone. Why deny that, I don't get it.
I'm glad to see the Normandy on #1. But I feel like they have also missed some contenders.

You read the list correctly - no Skyhold.
