Maybe you should wait a few days for one thread to expand before you make up another. But since you asked, I'd have to say... New Yolk City.

Well I think all of the towns I've seen are poor designed, so western and earthy. But, I think I could go with New Yolk city, because they got the Black market, Harvester,and what els?. Also Mongo Valley is there, with lush jungle.

But Bazzarton is good too, it has a farm where you smash clakkerz, and sewers.

And the Grubbs village aint a town you know.

New Yolk City. It's got a jungle, and Mongo Valley, and no sandstorms like in Buzzarton..

It is my opinion that New Yolk City is nothing like New York City.

But yeah, it's the best town.

Damn. I didn't know we were supposed to pick a town with all the bounty levels included in those towns. I thought it was just the towns themselves, you know, with the stores and Clakkerz and such.

I would have chosen Buzzarton because I like how it looks, overall, better than the other ones. It's more dynamic and less flat. It allows for more fun roaming with Stranger as it slopes down and up in places. The Clakkerz are everywhere and I love the business of it.

New Yolk City was alright, but it was too straight and not enough back allies or anything to make it seem like there was more to it. It was basically this strip mall of Clakkerz. Also, the Clakker variety was pretty slim compared to Buzzartons'.

I would have loved all of them equally if we could do some climbing, platforming, and just go on top of buildings and inside all of the buildings. I just didn't feel the interactivity that much in the towns. Kind of a let down, but, I still love to just run around in them

New Yolk City was way too small to call itself a city. It's smaller than Buzzarton, if you don't include the docks area.

My fave is Dusky Hollow because I think it's cool that they built a whole level just for a chase sequence and because you have to smash through people's houses. heh.

Yeah, I liked Dusky Hollow aswell, it is said to be the richest town in Stranger,so they can afford glass windows, big cities, guns, schools.

Dusky Hollow looked the most interesting to me. It was the only Clakker settlement that still had a Southbounder operating. The other towns' had shut down. Of course, the real reason it's my favourite is that there's no option to vote for it.

NDW, New Yolk City is smaller in the game than it was in the past due to Outlaws taking their resources and making it an unpleasant place to live, encouraging Clakkerz such as Farmer Beeks to move to the country.

Um... Is that another word for lazy Hub level design? I mean, you could have at least had the ability to jump from building to building and run around the whole city, but it was just a strip of boring land with the upper landscape teasing you as you looked above you. I HATED that about Stranger. I wanted to explore everything, but it never let you.

New Yolk City was great... I realy liked it.
I don't think there was a lack freedom, I didn't realy feel the need of jumping on the roofs

Well then you probably aren't very fond of platform gaming, whilst I am very fond of it. I mean, if you're going to give it platforming physics, at least put in platforming areas in the game. I would have loved it if every city had platforming on the buildings and structures to get treasure and other things. That would have been excellent, but it's a wasted opportunity in my eyes.

I think especially the buzzarton (hope I'm right, xavier ) roofs. There was one house with this really flat roof and the mailbox in front of it, that looked like you could stand on it. Though the clackers wouldn't like it...
On the bridge to the euginius lvl there were a couple of houses wich looked like they could be jumped. I investigated, and failed .
