> As a Dutch citizen I was simply happy about the fact that they were able to recreate Amsterdam in such a beautiful way.
But if you live in New York, San Francisco or London you would be tired of seeing your city in games. Even games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, supposedly a Nordic setting, it mainly focus on England and the visit to North America is as important as the time that you spend in actual Scandinavian land.
So, some people is not impressed by the settings while others are grateful just by being represented at all.
Me as an European on phantasy RPGs. Stone walls? Any historical center of part of town/cities. Villages? Villaremota de Arriba from Nowhereland with wheat fields for kilometers.
Rural town in thethe US with dinners and odd gas stations or some Manhattan clone like Max Payne? That's exotic.

Huh? I live in NYC and I don't think I've ever played a game set here. I know vaguely there's a Spider-Man game set here, that I never played, and at least one GTA inspired by but not actually set in NYC.
I'd love to play a game set in NYC that looks this great. It'd be my first time.
