I flew my partner across the planet to propose to her in New York City, shortly after GTA IV. There was a bit of a stumble early in the trip when we were walking somewhere in Manhattan and I blurted out that it was all so incredibly familiar. Then excitedly told her that this exact spot was where I'd murdered a helicopter pilot and got into a massive shoot out with police. From that point on, I'd randomly laugh at various other locations we walked through, remembering other crazy GTA capers.

I had the same experience after playing Watch Dogs extensively before a trip to SF. It's a weird mix of familiarity and deja vu.

Same experience visiting LA for the first time. It's like I knew the city more than the locals

Test driven marriage?

Thanks for sharing this haha. I had somewhat similar experience visiting LA (and probably my biggest motivation for visiting lol)

Had this in Boston after Fallout 4, my ex wasn't amused.

yeah I was also surprised about myself, first pin I set on the map was only 20m away from the real location.
