Gaming universes you would most certainly NOT want to be in.

Anyone Silent Hill? fuck that.

Actually, in reference to Silent Hill by itself, all you'd have to do is stay out of Silent Hill... but if the whole universe was like that... yeah, I think I'd second this. Resident evil wouldn't be much fun either... though people would probably learn how to effectively quarantine infections and prevent major zombie outbreaks.

Mass effect as well. Imagine if the Reapers did exist?

Hey, don't forget about 3 and 4 when Silent Hill stopped waiting for people to walk in and started expanding.

Yikes. Well, that isn't so bad if you think about it. If the scary valley place started expanding, I think that the military would step in and hammer whatever was in there. Its if it suddenly took over the world that we'd be screwed.

Silent hill is a serious threat to even a well-armed tactical team, but a military exercise there would stop the undead dead. If one lone schmuck stuck in there can escape, a full-on military operation would get to the bottom of the problem quickly.

Protype's manhattan is a fucking messed up place. Zombies, mutants, the miltary and an overpowerd superhuman running all over the place.

Or inFAMOUS's empire city, it's essentially dead, everyone's a tramp, and there are superpowered gangs everywhere.

 

[Cama Zots]

Rapture or fallout universe.

That would suck so bad to be stuck in fallout. There is only one radio station that plays the same three songs over and over again. I would hate it so much.

Fallout 3: I spose if your in a vault it's not too bad, but wouldn't like to be in the wastelands

Do you realize how many of the vaults conducted experiments on their residents?

Fallout - see above, radiation, slavers, raiders, mutants, enlace, etc....

People keep mentioning 40k, does anybody realize how equally horrible fantasy is. Everything that made living in medieval times bad, except multiplied by two or five. Plus: paranoid inquisitors who like burning people at the stake, chaos, orc invasion, skaven, undead and religous fanatics (for all religions).

Bioshock would be okay. If you live away from the coast and never encouter glowing red lights at night.

 

[razbuten363]

Honestly, in contrast to the thread, I would love to live in a post-apocalyptic universe, it sounds fun (call me optimistic about our grim fate).

OT: Pokemon universe. It's like the dinosaurs didn't die and some became all cute and cuddly and some stayed huge and dangerous when you walk in knee-high grass. Also, they can say their names now.

I don't think that it is that they can say their names, more like, you are walking through High grass and a yellow Rat with sparks coming off of it approaches, then you go, "huh, what is that?" It's response, not because it understands you, more likely in a defensive mode, is "Pikachu!" So you go, oh, then I will call that a Pikachu. How are we doing little Pikachu?" Then you reach down to scratch it under the chin and get shocked into oblivion.

You have a valid point, but I still don't want to live there.

Agreed, however vault 101 wasn't bad. Okay it was kinda run as a communist vault, but it wasn't bad at all. It was safe, at least if you don't try and escape

And yeah, Bioshock isn't bad if you avoid everything lol. Or you become a Big Daddy like you do in Bioshock 2, then i'd go into the water and to the surface and try and head back to the mainland.... if that would work?

 

[Bluedemon322]

Fallout universe.
My very first encounter with the capital wasteland:
"Wow, what an amazing endless world that lies ahead waiting for me to explore this could well be..."
*hears growling, turns to look*
"Oh my god there's a giant mole rat creature flee!!!!"
*Runs*
"AHHH GIANT ANTS!!!"
*Runs further after being bitten*
"Thank god.... I'm sa-"
*GUNSHOT*
"AHHHHHHH PEOPLE SHOOTING AT ME, MY LEG'S DISABLED!!"
*Desperatley fleeing, finds water*
"Oh thank god I can heal at long last... OH MY GOD CRAB MONSTER!!!!"
*Drags wounded self away in desperation*
"Must...Heal...Self... Dying."
*Sees pond*
"Oh thank god, water... thank you!"
*drinks water oblivious to the crackling of his pip boy*
"What does this 'Rad/sec meter thing mean... rad as in radiation?"
*Vomits violently*
"OH GOD FIFTY RADIATION POINTS PER SECOND!!!"
*gurgles and collapses, hears the scuttling of giant cockroaches*
"Oh god.... let it ennnnnnnnnnd."
*Cockroached devour supple body.*

Total time survived, eight minutes and fourteen seconds.

..... no thanks.

This.

 

[geon106]

sorry to double post, but F.E.A.R isn't my idea of an ideal universe. I mean you saw how a lil girl killed an entire rapid response team with little effort. That would scare me just knowing that was possible in my universe.

I would also like to add the Painkiller universe. Well, purgatory with satans armies advancing on it. While you fight to save the love of your life before you become a bas**** and abandon the chance of seeing her at the end? like wtf?

 

[Jark212]

Silent Hill (Run away)

Halo (would get exterminated so fast + Flood)

Gears of War (everyone that's not a main character dies, see Carmine)

Left 4 Dead (Shot by own team for F'ing zombies/witches)

Resident Evil (boder-line retarded corporation with even more retarded ideas.)

Fallout (Radiation poisoning)

That's the beauty of it. It only chooses certain people. And if you tell anyone, no one would believe you (there are three plains of existence there so you can't just find it unless it wants you).

Also Prototype. Considering an asshole who can kill you pretty much just by sneezing on you can be anyone (most likely the guy running around at high speeds holding a sedan). Being thrown into the ocean for no reason by the guy isn't the only thing to be afraid of, either. You have to worry about being accused of being said asshole and avoid the infected areas, all without being able to leave Manhattan. Oh ya, and being consumed seems pretty bad.

Left4Dead, where fast zombies are the least of your troubles. Fucking smokers, hunters, boomers, witches and FUCKING TANKS. Especially smokers, they bug me the most.

I never played Warhammer 40K, but I did read about the 4 Gods of Chaos. All of them seemed pretty unpleasant to say the least.

 

[RyuGaiden]

Half-Life 2. Always on the run from the Combine if you're in the resistance, continually oppressed by said bad guys like you're in the RMV, and even worse, you can't get it on with anybody! A fate worse than death!

 

[melig]

Rapture. Or any zombie game.

Or ofcourse the Sims, where one is forced to do sheit stuff

 

[Joshimodo]

Silent Hill. I would probably go piss myself, go cry in a corner and go insane, before I'd be able to get out of there.

WH40k.

Where being tortured and dismembered is one of the better ways to die.

Or, you could just get killed on the battlefield. With a bullet.

Generally when you die on the battlefield in Warhammer 40k's universe, it's for the following reason:

Your soul will be harvested after the battle, and used to sustain ungodly life.
Your soul be will cleansed after the battle, via some kind of arcane fire.
Your soul will forever be tortured by chaotic demons in a kind of ethereal Hell.
You are brought back to life in unending pain, and thrown in a robotic body.
You weren't killed by a bullet, but anything from dissolving gauss rifles, to rending claws and talons, to sadistic evil weapons, to mutation-inducing chemicals, your brain being invaded by psykers, or acid/toxins/living energy/teeth/being stamped on/eaten/absorbed etc.


Mine would have to be Stilwater or Silent Hill.


Though, actually...The Mushroom Kingdom would be horrible.

Any of the battlefield games would suck horribly and this is why

Call of Cthulu...

You best be blind, because what you see will drive you insane.

You best be deaf, because those noises will drive you insane.

You might not want to be able to feel anything, because all those tentacles will drive you insane.

People who die in this game are lucky. At least they get away with their minds intact.

While we are at it...

Stormbringer

The sword devours souls. The albino emo ***** that uses it kills everyone in the world. Then the sword turns on him and kills him, and flies off into the sky. The game is pretty fun, but once you know the ending... wow, I don't think any other fantasy author wrapped up a series so completely... EVER.

If my soul was already insane from call of cthulu, I would go to stormbringer to finish it off.

 

[Strategia]

You do know that Nazi-ism and Communism are ideologically complete opposites to one another, right?

*sigh* no. They're both totalitarian systems expecting the individual to put the state's interests ahead of their own, and the only person with any deep insight into the subject who claimed the two were their exact opposites is der Führer himself. For further information, I refer you to the rather extensive discussion of the subject in this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.125463] thread, since I'm not in the mood to spark a three-page discussion with a seven-hundred-line post containing a concise introduction to the subject. And by Dwayna I will if you tempt me.

Tl;dr, Nazism and Communism aren't diametrically opposite, it's only Hitler that claimed they were (that right there should raise a few doubts at least). You wanna know more, go read that thread and the umpteen-odd posts saying the exact same thing in slightly different wording.

 

[The Ultimate 2]

Rapture without question, splicers, little sisters, and Big Daddies OH MY!!

 

[Random Argument Man]

Final fantasy 6's universe. Since Kefka destroys half of it, the world seems fucked up.

That and the world of Doomsday Arcade. Imagine Duke Nukem crashing your house and f**** your sister before ending your life.
