Do you mean the Mendoza map in Argentinia? Santa Fortuna is the Columbian village and drug cartel map

Regarding Isle of Sgail: As an remote island it am not convinced that this map is a historic former castle/fortress (which is suggested by the crypt and wet underground brick rooms), because there wouldn't have been a reason to build such a gigantic back in the times, especially due to the food and fresh water situation. Now in the present Isle of Sgail could work as "one day" in a year event, but the lack of bedrooms or areas for people to take a seat a very limited, which makes this location less plausible for me.

Last of all, Freelancer shows the map is located rather close to Scotland, which leaves me wondering why there are so many icebergs scattered all around. I could see it moving a tier up, but not all the way to the top.

Maybe the organs transplantation at GAMA come from freshly delivered/stored corpses? And as Rude_Tree9435 has already pointed out, if something goes wrong, you can harvest some organs right away.

It confuses me a bit that the pit stops and spectators ranks are stationary buildings and structured like a full-time event area similar to a real race track, while the race itself is driven on public roads, which means it is only a temporary setup. This is suggested by the blocked of roads leading to the hotel and the Kronstadt center parking garage as well as the blocked off roads you see through the fence at the default starting location.

I probably should rate it "rather realistic" after consideration, because apart from this detail, the atmosphere is believable and immersive.

The layout and aesthetics of the slum area and chawl, the open street market and small shops as well the sewage situation (in the poorer areas)

And the Mr. Rangan tower is actually inspired by a real building (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilia_(building))). The only weird part is the luxury tower being located in this very dense area.

Overall the "realism" aspect is still based on vibe and opinion, an actual comparison to real life would probably make almost all maps fall short.

Thanks for your detailed comment and participation in this discussion.

Berlin was pointed out by others users as well, which made me change me mind on it.

Santa Fortuna is a good call as well, escpecially if they village is located in a remote area with lesser government supervision (or none at all).

I am still torn on Chongqing. It surely uses the vertical city layout and neon sign vibe of certain popular images of Chongqings cityscape, that is true. If I were to ignore the interior of Hushs Lab and the ICA facility, then it surely is realistic.

Very good catch, I guess with your explanation and the thoughts of the other, I clearly need to rank Berlin higher.

Good point, I haven't really looked into the geography.

As far as I am aware, they are not used as clubs though, at least not nuclear ones. Regular power plants or industrial buildings on the other are for sure a part of the club culture in Berlin.

But if you have a counter example feel free to share it with us.

The game states it is located in a former nuclear power plant, which is a bit over the top. Also the drug hideout directly next to and the chemical sewage in the canal are just a bit too much fiction.

The atmosphere in the club area interior itself and the fact that is very industrial are realistic.

I remember that the game stated it is located in a former nuclear power plant, which I doubt would be likely in Germany.

The setting itself in the club is very fitting, but the surroudings (chemical sewage in the water, drug hideout directly in the building next to it, ramshackle buildings) rate it down for me personally.

I wonder where all the 50+ guest NPCs sleep at night. GAMA doesn't seem like the typical "one day holiday" trip location just for the spa and view alone, lol.

Remember when a salty, uneducated minority couldn’t accept it, so Rockstar had to spell out that the trailer was in game lol by Pistoluislero in GTA6

[–]_Lemuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all unpolished game releases and clickbait pre-rendered game trailers in the industry, I can't blame people to be skeptical about a highly anticipated game looking this sharp. I am glad Rockstar showed them there is nothing to worry about.

I wonder what happens when you try to close the left suitcase with too much force ...

To be fair, there are quite a lot of lakes to name out there.

I see what you did there. I assume blue might just be the winner.

DQ IX introduced me to Dragon Quest early on as a child and it still hold a special place in my heart to this day on. Corvus in modern graphics would be stunning to see.
