Great games that only exist in your head

explosions, so many explosions, like grand theft auto, but with someone to actually fight, and the civilians stay, and the building blow up just like in real life, and they is a good physics engine, but not to good, because i like jumping motor cycles off of buildings

*psychotic grin* >

My friend came up with the idea for a zombie sandbox game. Where you can hide in buildings, but they can get inside too. And you can hit them/shoot them/run them over with anything you find.

That would be you! I'm sure all the games designers in the world will be laughing at you as they steal your idea.

Thief-style stealth combined with survival horror. Basically the Shalebridge Cradle expanded into an entire game.

Mine is a game in which you can create planets that will look any way you want, create life for the planets, and put plants and different fruit on them too. Or, you can just create some humans, and I mean Sims 3 editing quality, you can also give them personalities, and the game would have some way to know what the kid would look like from combining the parents.

You can travel through time, watching them build up straw houses and such, then drop a rock on one, burn another, burn humans, throw humans, drown humans, put different tribes into wars, and just tinker with their lives in any creative way you can think of.

For instance, you can possess someone, maybe multiple people, and have them go on killing sprees. As society collapses one, from not have any women to have children, and two, because almost no one is left but a handful of men. If you drive one mad enough with paranoia, he will kill everyone else for being possessed. Make him possessed, and he'll kill himself. Then push some pilgrims in and do it all again.

If you got bored, you could go to a time period and get missions to go to places in the sandbox place and kill something or other. It would have tons of weapons, spells, and things to ride on and it wouldn't have a leveling system. It's just that some monsters are harder to kill without getting certain weapons. And to get certain weapons, you have to kill certain monsters or buy from certain people. You can keep one weapon from any time period to the next.

This would have Fallout-type consequences. Put all your points into one skill, your other skills will have a lack and you will be unlikeable. You don't get points from leveling up, you are given points from doing quests.

That..sounds..AWESOME

sounds like a revamped Black and White...i miss that game...*digs in nostalgia box...darn it sold it.

But yah a massive sandbox game would be great in lieu of all the linear fps we have had in the past few years.

Hmmm what would I do...

I want a game that begins like this:
A hunter, engineer, and avid gun collector *insert name goes out to the woods to rough it, after some odd electrical activity during a thunderstorm he awakens 800 years later during the Dark ages, with only a pistol, hist shotgun, and a hunting knife.

He gets up and finds himself in a forest just outside of town, and enters it. People see him dressed oddly and he is taken to the king and his shotgun and knife are confiscated. In the court of the king he is ordered to be executed for practicing witch craft. Fearing for his life the game lets you control his actions :You may either choose to plead your case or Switch to your pistol and open fire.
As you progress through your game you are able to pick up new weapons, upgrade existing ones or construct your own with your modern know how.
So what is your mission? You realize that your guns have the ability to destroy the ancient armor of these people and decided to attempt to take a kingdom.

So you move kingdom to kingdom, building your own clan of followers as you go, raping and pillaging.
