  1. The Nightclub in Hitman 3 "Apex predator" is an almost exact copy of a Nightclub in Berlin called the Power station (its in an old power station). Even the music is the same no patrons going at it in dark corners though

  2. I like how Fallout 76 uses not only real life locales and landmarks, but also incorporates real life festivals, events, and legends. Such as the fashnat festival, mothman, grafton monster, sheepsquatch, etc.

  3. I can say from experience that playing Yakuza legitimately prepares you for walking around Kabukicho. It was such a weird experience visiting a place I've never been too whole simultaneously feeling it was familiar.
