If you could make the world like any one videogame...

[Spartan448]

... what game would it be?

I thought that it would be an interesting experiment to see what kinds of games people like so much that they'd think the world would be more awesome if reality was more like the game. So let's start this and do some surveying... for science.

Some ground rules first:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Grand Theft Auto is not allowed. Neither are the Mercs games or Just Cause games. You are not allowed to make the world a lawless hellhole where everyone has 24-hour acess to infinite parachutes and military-grade hardware. Also, no "god games" allowed.

2: First-Person Shooters will only apply in terms of technology, physics, and storyline, except in special cases like Portal and Half-Life.

3: The general populace will get some characteristics of the protagonists of the game you choose. So, for example, if you choose Assassins' Creed, people will be better at climbing and jumping, and would have awesome cloaks.

4: Any comments on how to improve this are welcome

I guess that if I could make the world like any videogame.....

Pokemon. For one thing school would be easier. I mean, you'd have Battle Theory, Item Theory, ect. Finally, a world where I wouldn't be required to sit through math!

THIEF!

I want the ability to be stealthy and wander in and out of places without being discovered by some hapless, bored guard.

Damn, ninja'd by the TC.

I also choose you, pokemon. Why? Because I could then really own my favorite pokemon... Wobbuffet.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Mass Effect. There would be aliens, space travel and you could live on another planet. I think it would be much more interesting in general, at least, until the reapers came.

Awww I clicked on this thread purely with GTA in mind (especially the bit where you just respawn at a hospital regardless of how fucked up you get).

But if thats not allowed, the Elder Scrolls universe would be pretty damn intriguing.

Secret.

Of.

Mana.

You're welcome.

 

[katsumoto03]

Mass Effect.

Aliens and space travel? Sign me the fuck up!

Being of the opinion that spaceships and alien hotties would make the universe a much more awesome place, I'm going to go with mass effect.

 

[AbstractStream]

The World Ends With You. I'd want to be a reaper officer or something. I get to be in the UG and the RG. I'm down with that.
I like other games a lot more but TWEWY seemed like the best choice for an alternate reality.

Pokemon. Cause Slow...

I was thinking tenchu, or dragon age, or ddo, and then I read this post, and I would definitely choose pokemon. To have a real cyndaquil, or rapidash would be absolutely awesome.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Will I be the first to say Minecraft?

 

[MurderousToaster]

Killing Floor on Beginner difficulty.

DOSH!

 

[Asuka Soryu]

Pokemon

The worst crime that ever happens in that world is the kidnapping of Pokemon.

Not to mention you get to adventure and etc.

Screw planes, I have Reshiram!

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Minecraft. That would be awesome, except for the creepers.

 

[Harlemura]

Gonna have to join the Pokemon trend. Even if it doesn't actually bring Pokemon into the world, err'body havin' their own little companion wherever they go would be freakin' awesome.

ill do dead rising 2 in which im a hunter with prototype powers and stuck in an anime world (cause i REALLY HATE THAT SHIT) and i can either kill everything, kill all the bad guys, or kill the bad guys, and bang the hot chicks (which is EVERY GIRL ABOUT 16 AND UP) ps im 16

 

[NickCooley]

The Elder Scrolls. I'ma get me a cliff racer mount

 

[OutcastBOS]

Pokemon and Mass Effect are both good choices, but I'mma go with a game based on a movie based on a comic book and go with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I'd catch a Lucas Lee movie, pick up the latest TCaD album and go hang out at my buddies house.
