Bad Idea on Paper, but a Great Success

[RowdyRodimus]

Can anyone here say "Drinking the kool-aid"???

Is that about all the Portal references THAT HAVE NOT GROWN A BIT OLD BY NOW and that we REALLY don't WANT people TO STOP?

I can only assume you've never heard of the Jonestown massacre

Ok, so you were actually meaning The People's Temple in Guyana. I was thinking in gaming terms and how many people were doing the Portal thing as drinking the Kool-Aid lol. But wouldn't that be more of a Good Idea on Paper, Horrible Execution (no pun intended)?

Pitch: "You play as a green dinosaur with a band-aid on it's back that eats stuff to poop eggs, which he then uses as projectile weapons to kill enemies all in a weird sing-songy story-book world."

Exec:" . . . WAT?"

Pitch: Oh, the art style will be that of crayons and your also carrying around a baby that screams and cries if the player gets hit!

Exec: ... SEQUERITY!

Well it is bad on paper cause it's putting cyanide in kool-aid and getting people to drink it but it worked out flawlessly, shame about that too really.

Pitch: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars... With a PAPER World. Also, Bowser steals a magical wish rod and traps the Stars so Mario needs to get them. Just like Mario RPG.

Exec: I see... Make one for the 64. And do the exact same thing AGAIN on the Gamecube.

PROFIT!

How about a Resident Evil game that's just one long escort mission?

Kula World. So you're this beach ball and you solve puzzles involving keys and fruit.

Katamari. So your dad who is the king of all cosmos destroys something and you have to rebuild it by rolling a giant sticky ball into...everything...

Final Fantasy. So it's basically remake Dragon Warrior or go bankrupt...great idea!

Farmville. So you...do...farming, and send your friends sad brown cows to guilt trip them into playing too.

Dino Crisis. So it's like Resident Evil only instead of slow moving, tension building zombies trying to kill you, it's huge, fast moving, people eating dinosaurs.

Mass Effect. So it's Star Trek only with more action and more talking, marketed to a large audience.

Assassin's Creed. It's a sandbox game in which you're laid down in a machine in the future thinking about killing people in the past.

I'm sure I can think of more.

Fruit Ninja: you're a ninja, but you don't actually go anywhere, and you hate fruit! Fruit will appear on the screen and you slash it in half! Riviting

Games that sound stupid summarized but are actually awesome.

Go. "Put stones on a wood slab to surround your opponent's stones."
