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

[Remleiz]

The W40k universe.

"In the grim darkness of the far future there is only way."

A game 'verse with that kind of tagline is generally one I wouldn't want to be caught in, especially seeing how even bio-engineered super soldiers get their asses handed to them by all kinds of nasty critters and heretics.

don't you mean "there is only WAR" ?

 

[ClaptonKnophlerHendrix]

The Sims. Seriously it's just normal life with less things to do. At least in silent hill death is never far away.
Also the Nazi Zombies minigame for COD 5. God no end in sight just continious being anal raped by nazi zombies. This is hell.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Almost any game, there are few games these days that prevent citizens from dying in the hundreds without anyone caring.
The old game son the other hand have incessant beeping music you can't escape.

Yeah, video game worlds are rarely nice places... does this say something about game designers, or is it us gamers we should be worried about?

 

[hebdomad]

I don't think I would like to live in any game universe.

Most are based in post-apocalypse worlds.

Not much fun when everyone is dead.

And Mario is just too messed up...

 

[KING BOB 2896]

I wouldn't want to be in the Warhammer 40k universe. No matter what happens in that universe your gonna die.

 

[Writerling]

Fallout
"Hmm...I wonder where I could find some Water Chips?" *Meanders towards Vault 15* "Oh! Why hello there Mr. Giant Mutated Scorpion, do you know whe- OH GOD MY ARM....AHHGHGGH!"
I died of poison. God damn it.

Call Of Cthulhu
Imagine walking around your house and something really annoys you, or like, you see something you're really afraid of. Up goes your insanity meter and you kill yourself with the teapot on the table.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

I would hate to be living on Mars with the EDF from Red Faction Guerrilla there.
Unless i had a walker.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

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.

Haha, sounds familiar. The radiation and giant ants took me by surprise too, but i probally survived for less time than that.

 

[Reg5879]

Any of the early Call of Duty games.

*Wakes up in a boat*
"Woah where the hell am I?"
"Uh just off the French coast, it's June sixth.
"Shit."

Instead of shit, the better response would have been, "GOOD GOD!!!". Also, I would hate to be in the world of Oblivion, listening to people saying the same thing over and over would drive me insane lol.

 

[Danny Ocean]

*supple*

Ahem.


As for this topic, surely almost all game worlds would be a terrible place to live in as almost all are at war?

 

[Ushario]

Silent Hill. I recall playing the first game when it was new, I thought Resident Evil was scary before that. I consider Resident evil to be a land of rainbows and unicorns by comparison.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Anyone Silent Hill? fuck that.

Yeah, that would most certainly suck. Trapped in your own nightmare-world. Also the Half-life universe wouldn't be such a great place to spend your time.

Just run like a madman for Megaton and you're sorted. Plus you could always dribble over Moira Brown there.

 

[Vrex360]

Snip.

Just run like a madman for Megaton and you're sorted. Plus you could always dribble over Moira Brown there.

I know that, I love the game and all and of course I have a mild crush on Ms. Brown but the issue is that in the real world I would not last in a world like that.

 

[Diablini]

The World of Warcraft one. The mere idea of being an NPC, standing still forever, with a plastic yellow exclamation mark straped on my head. No thanks.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Metal Gear Solid 4. A world where war has replaced oil as the driving force of the economy; where child solders are controlled my nanomachines, solid snake has a moustache, and the world is run by La-li-lu-le-lo.

Wait a second... free FPS games... I've changed my mind
