    Very amazing. And this is the worst it will ever be. We'll soon be exploring 4k versions of this and we can open every trash can in Tunis. Fascinating. Had a lot of fun (tedious tho) going out to Alcatraz and figuring out how to get in.

    Kinda funny game, though if you want a bit more fidelity, but less control, Microsoft Flight Simulator has a pretty good version of SF.

    Though as for games that use SF (but not 1:1) Watch Dogs 2 is a pretty good proxy, though my favorite video game interpretation of San Francisco is from GTA San Andreas (San Fierro)

    Loading information just goes forever.

    Console shows CORS violations and WebGL errors.

    Firefox on Windows. Recent ThinkPad provided by my employer.

    man what happened to loading bars?

    I'm sitting here watching the block bounce in a circle and I have no idea if the game is actually loading or not. Tried turning off PopUpOff. Tried turning off adblock.

    as it turns out it just isn't loading (firefox on win 11, if that matters)

    my first experience with San Francisco in a video game was through the City Escape stage in Sonic Adventure 2. and I didn't even know then that it was San Francisco (I had never been there when I played the game). only realized this when I visited the city many years later.

      Haha, I know that stage by heart, and I've never been to San Francisco. I had no idea that's what it was modeled after!

    Crazy how they have GTA San Francisco before GTA 6

    I don't think it's really simulating San Francisco unless it has a public defecation feature.
