Most Beautiful Video Game Location?

[Locko96]

That massive field in LOZ: Twilight Princess. I forget what it's called because I haven't played it in so long. It's especially awesome when there is still that huge energy shield around the castle.

Zion Valley in Fallout: New Vegas - Honest Hearts DLC

This. Specifically I loved that I have never seen rain before in a fallout game, so when the first time it started to rain I was in awe. It was so immersive as I assumed my character probably had never seen rain before either.

Definitely anywhere found in Just Cause 1 or 2. Both such PRETTY games

Beecher's Hope in Red Dead Redemption. Actually, it's not just how it looks, but what it is that gets me. After all that trouble you went through in the game,

Spoiler

you finally get your family back, and a few missions are actually just you working on the ranch, trying to piece your life back together. It's just that feeling that youre home that makes the whole ranch more beautiful than any other locale in the game. At least, that's how I feel about it.

Ninja'ed by the OP? Damn. I always found AssCreed 2's Venice absolutely gorgeous, and the music is beautiful as well.

 

[Boba Frag]

Peronally, it's got to be Firenze (Florence) in AC2. Absolutely breathtaking, every inch of that city's historical vistas have made me stop and stare and just drink it all in on numerous occasions.
La Palazzo dela Signoria, Il Duomo's impossibly beautiful facade, the plazas...

Venice is a very, very close second as is Roma in AC:Brotherhood.

The city from Mirror's Edge is vastly superior to everything that has been mentioned here so far. In my opinion.

I climbed to the top of a really tall building in GTA IV and watched the sunrise. In Fallout 3 when you first emerge from the vault and see the wasteland. In Red Dead Redemption, go south and New Austin and look at Mexico from over the river. And I know this sounds weird, but I find the almost never endingness of deserts eerily beautiful, and for some reason when I looked at the desert in Sims 2 on Nintendo DS it got to me. Deserts just do.

 

[Squiggles]

Ive always had a soft spot for FFIX... the locations in that game are beautiful, from a steam-punk airship, to a city of eternal rain and the eerie Terra.. The most underrated of the FF's IMO

Spoiler: Eilodons in Alexandria

Ah, yes, that is a wonderful moment in the game!

crysis, hands down

The end sequences of Metro 2033 were impressive, as was the view from the Vault 101 scenic overlook. Maybe I just like depressing vistas.

 

[Arakasi]

Bioshock was pretty awesome.

I get the feeling that Skyrim will be awesome as well though.

 

[cognitively_deprived]

pretty much anywhere in any assassins creed game

Bioshock was pretty awesome.

definitely agree with bioshock, and the new one looks like it would be a contender for this as well

 

[electric_warrior]

Well, I haven't been there yet, but Skyrim. Just from the videos and screenshots, it looks soooo pretty.

The Just Cause 2 world is magnificent, it's just amazing to travel around, be it in a car, or a plane or just walking through some mountains.

Metro 2033 was beautiful in a different sort of way. It was just the atmosphere that did it for me, I loved playing through that game.

Far Cry 2 also has a very beautiful game world similar to Just Cause 2, in that I just love to travel around it, and the scenery in general is just brilliant.

In Oblivion, there my favourite place in the game is a certain spot on The Orange Road, next to a fence where you have a view of the Imperial City and the surrounding area. The first time I saw it was when I first got Oblivion in 2006, and it was one of the first time I saw a view of an open world, so the image sort of stuck in my mind from then on.

 

[WanderingBiscuits]

Beautiful locations?
Well first, I want to travel on Rainbow Road [Mario Kart 64] to
buy a weeks pass for the theme park in Gemity [Star Ocean till the end of time].
Followed by later going for a beer and watching the lava spurt from goron mountain.[Ocarina of time]

There are far more that might spring to mind later.

Even though it was only 16-bit, there was something compelling about seeing the world from Setzer's Airship in Final Fantasy VI
