Top 10 Fictional Cities in Video Games


you know the place even if you’ve never
been there let’s just say I don’t get
out much
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
fictional cities in video games and fire
Bay’s home for that hot new rocket Oh
Sam as usual just to make sure we have
room for everyone we’ve limited our
picks to one city per franchise stick to
the plan
be also aware that a few spoilers might
roam the streets of these beautiful and
majestic metropolis all profit fills our
lungs with water so they may baedal of
the eya number 10 Midgar final fantasy 7
the capital city of the planet gaya and
also a giant power plant for the Shinra
Electric Power Company Midgar is
comprised of eight giant plates or
sectors suspended above the ground to
house its inhabitants in wealth and
middle-class lifestyle and below these
sections lies a large slum
deprived of sunlight as magnificent as
the architecture is the city has an
appalling environmental record as its
giant reactors constantly drain the
planets energy or life stream to
generate electricity
number nine city 17 half-life 2 you have
chosen or been chosen to relocate to one
of our finest remaining urban centers at
first sight this might seem like a
normal
if dilapidated European city that is
until you realize that the city is
occupied by an alien force keeping the
humans inside from their freedom and
even their emotions but if you don’t
care too much for those you can
appreciate the local architecture and
the giant alien tower known as the
Citadel that stands over the city first
the building and the whole block they
have no reason to come to our place
don’t worry they’ll find one fans
constantly speculate on whether city 17
is actually based on a real-life city
with strong contenders for cities in
either Bulgaria Latvia or Serbia oh
that’s actually calm he’s one of us
number 8
Jacinto City Gears of War series having
been built on a base of hard granite
this city was one of the few to have
survived the initial massive attack by
the Locust Horde it then became a symbol
of resistance for the human race which
caused its streets to rapidly be filled
with refugees I don’t want people seeing
me what you alright it’s not good for
business man it later became a literal
synonym of survival being the only place
that would not be nuked during the
hammer of dawn counter-attack of course
being humanity’s last city it constantly
comes under attack from the Locust Horde
but ultimately it’s the humans that seal
its fate one can only hope the one
leaves behind a lot
but so often the legacies that believe
I’m not the ones that we intended number
seven dunwall dis honored
the capital of crystal and the seat of
the Imperial Government of the Isles
this city was built on oil money whale
oil money that is the architecture is
quite superb depending on which part of
the city you live in which naturally
depends on your monetary situation
there’s sick people not criminals should
you be rich enough to live in the higher
quarters good for you you only have to
worry about political conspiracies and
the occasional assassin slipping in
through your windows if you don’t well
you may have to deal with diseased gang
activity and swarms of ravenous rats
number six Vivek the Elder Scrolls 3
morrowind
while we loved the imperial city from
oblivion and pretty much everything else
in Skyrim it’s all about Vivek here this
city took its name from the God who
saved it from a small falling moon and
then proceeded to you said moon as a
jail for the city I really can’t help
you stranger although comprised of
massive structures it’s built on the
water with bridges connecting the larger
sections or Canton’s as always expect
different living quarters depending on
your financial situation the rich live
above the poor live below with the rats
and the occasional skeleton also that
God who saved the city he lives there
too along with his fans Lee dressed
Royal Guards the ordinator ‘s if you’re
here for trouble you’ll get more than
you bargained for
number 5 Silent Hill the Silent Hill
series inspired by the real-life
abandoned town of Centralia Pennsylvania
and located in a region called the place
of the silent spirit by the Native
Americans Silent Hill is a mysterious
and fog ridden town sure is quiet here
huh
I guess although it appears is a quiet
place at first it hides many dark
secrets such as a cult and paranormal
activities as well as a little bit of
drug trafficking some say that the town
itself has a will of its own and calls
to those with troubled hearts those
visitors however never know when they
will leave if they ever leave at all
number four the Citadel mass effect
series
a massive Space Station housing many
different races and cultures as well as
the home of the Galactic Council this
megalopolis is a sight to behold they
probably just want to keep everything
running it has to be hard keeping all
these cultures working together formed
by a central ring called the Presidium
and extending through arms called wards
it can also close itself in case of
attacks and has its own security service
called CSEC made up of agents of all
races you know what Correns are like and
she’s definitely a vagrant but beneath
its majesty lies a dark secret as the
station was originally intended to be
used as a giant mass relay for the
Reapers though we never got to see that
feature in action huh maybe in the next
game number three Raccoon City Resident
Evil series this city has everything you
would expect except raccoons plenty of
job opportunities tranquillity and a
university a city controlled by em gone
the only problem is most of the jobs are
with umbrella corporation
you know the pharmaceutical company with
a serious Kendon see to create
bioengineered viruses that turn its
victims into all sorts of monsters our
research was a failure
you might be desperate for a job but
offering to become a test subject with
this company will probably not end well
for you or other living people in the
city
number two Los Santos Grand Theft Auto
series visionary Perry
hanging out for actors and make Spears
and people trying to have sex with
actors and rap stars
honestly any of the GTA cities could
have taken this spot but it’s the home
of GTA san andreas and GTA 5 that takes
the honors the end of the road with a
big house and useless kid and I’m stuck
talking to you because no one else gives
you shit oh I’m living a dream baby
palm trees lining the road colorful
buildings the name of a district in
giant white letters it was obviously
modeled after Los Angeles they say that
in any given day there are at least two
dead 30 girls the trash cans ran back
isn’t that great
now should you find yourself there we
recommend avoiding south los santos for
your own security especially if you have
a nice or expensive looking car not that
staying in the other districts will
totally prevent it from being stolen by
a passing criminal but it lowers the
chances
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one rapture Bioshock series
it was either this or Columbia for the
top spot but the giant underwater
metropolis spawned from the mind of
Andrew Ryan beat out its flying
counterpart I chose
a place where one was meant to live
without fear of judgment from politics
religion or society it was unfortunately
not immune to turmoil and underwent a
massive social upheaval the city is
still a wonder to look at however what
with the buildings being linked by glass
tunnels and bathysphere sadly what made
this wondrous place so great was also
its downfall as genetic research turned
most of its inhabitants into twisted
degenerates or monsters do you agree
with our list which wondrous city or
nightmarish town would you want to visit
