If you know New York City very well, and have played any of the Spiderman's games, you will see that it's a pure replication of the city. 

I have played Spiderman the Marvel's edition very little. Such made me not to capture the locations to know if it's New York truly.

Personally, I really enjoyed the view of New York City from playing the game being that I have never been to New York.

Such feelings brings enthusiasm to gamers, gives you the feeling you're spending time around one of the best cities in the world. That's why I am speculating and wanting to see VR introduced fully into video games. Where we'll have the feelings of VR world in a beautiful city.

How good these locations are represented in video games, offers you a good insight into places that you have never been.

I see open world games just as something that has a very high replay value. For example, if i play linear game, there's usually nothing to do when the game is completed, therefore, player just deletes it and looks for another game but in an open world game once the campaign is done, you still have side quests, collectables, outposts, roaming enemies, etc. If you liked the world, you can still live in it. The downside of all this is that open world games must usually have very satisfying gameplay and devs don't have unlimited resources - so, they usually sacrifice the story. Hence, we have such games like Assassin's Creed that have cool gameplay but meh story.

I enjoy the environments of most open world games, the ones in GTAs, A.Cs, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Bioshock etc, are just fitting to the kind of environment i love seeing around video games.

It feels good to enjoy video games in a quality environment, whose locations looks amazing, and not seeing a repeated location designs as we jump to the next level.

Yeah, that's practically how open world games are designed with inspired missions that's going to keep you with the game for longer than you expected.
