Are you a little bummed that summer is over? Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean that you can’t go on a quick vacation. Instead of a traditional one, how about a video game vacation? Not only can you travel to some really cool places–both real and imagined–but you can do it from the comfort of your own couch!
Join Real Otaku Gamer for more video game vacation destinations! After reading, make sure you take the survey at the end to vote for your favorite video game place.
Game: Fallout 3
Place: Washington D.C
About: Ever wonder what D.C. would look like after a nuclear apocalypse? Well, thanks to the wonders of video games, players don’t have to imagine anymore. Fallout 3 focuses on the wreckage that occurs after a nuclear holocaust. People buried themselves away in “vaults” and re-emerged to live among the wreckage. During the game, players will wander around in the ruins of D.C., fighting mutants and helping others along the way.
Why Visit: There’s something both disturbing and interesting about looking at our nation’s landmarks in a state of disarray. It may just be humanity’s fascination with “the end” that makes this gaming franchise so popular. The large sandbox of a map that players get to wander around in also make this place well-worth it.
Must See Areas:
- Go disable a large atomic weapon in Megaton.
- Visit the Capital Wasteland and our nation’s monuments turned to rubble.
- Take a walk down the Potomac River. Just don’t take a dip because it’s radioactive.
- Walk around the metro tunnels and fight mutants.
