Your worst setting for a game

I never want to see the invasion of Normandy again, ever. We get it, we know what happens, we've seen it so many times we could all easily picture it in our minds during shock therapy.
Enough already.
I don't have a problem with Second World War setting, but dear lord it was a freak world War. Move out of Normandy, let us see the large Soviet fights for their "Great Patrotic War" and their point of view, the battles of Northen Africa, Chinese battles, the precursors to the Asian theator, the British Chanels, anything. There is more then enough to make a thousand more games, we don't need repeating the same stuff everytime.
I would also accept Conker's Bad Führer Day if made my the original RARE people, not modern day RARE.
Personaly though, the easiest way to stop me from caring in a game is to make a game setting that is just a random assortment of white, brown, black, or green textures and call it diffrent maps. Unreal Tournament mods, Halo, most sandbox games that aren't any good, and so forth just make a cannon, give it green and brown or add a gray building with white texture and tell us it's diffrent. Even worse when it's just a brown desert with stuff in the background but not much where you actualy play.
That's not a specific setting I know, but I still call it "boring".
One setting we do need more of? Art Deco Urban/ 1920s through late 1930s settings. Bioshock, Shadow Hearts, and a few others a nice, but not nearly enough.

I agree that the WW2 setting is over used, but there's still plenty of unexplored terrain in the War. Imagine a first person survival horror that takes place in the Holocaust. Velvet Assassin, in spite of being pretty below average, the setting and gameplay was interesting. Imagine other genres OTHER than shooters taking place in world war II.Cactuar213 said:

Anyway, my least favourite setting is probably the inevitable sewer level in most games. It's closed-off, so either they make the setting claustrophobic and terrifying (a minority), or they have enemies charge at you from a long narrow path as if it's the smartest thing they could do in the world.
Plus, it's pretty much copy-paste cylinders for a half-mile.
800x600 with aa, shadow off. My VGA card is old.
Oh wait....i thought it was game graphic setting.
WW is boring (Except CoD 1,2 ).

Ruined cities
Underground rockcaves
World War II
Spaceships/spacestations that seem to consist of nothing but hallways and nigh empty rooms.

Sewer levels.
Just... sewer levels. I'd be ecstatic if I never had to play through another sewer level again. But for some reason, walking knee-deep in sewage appeals to game developers.

Graveyards, its not the worst scenario ever seen, but I personally HATE graveyards in games, especially in Hack n Slash RPGs, they are filled with skeletons; I mean this is ok; BUT... they are so boring, so many enemies you can bearley move 2 meters without have to kill 500 of skeletons, zombies, and so....
