If you went to Gamer hell?

[rokkolpo]

i would have to pla my favorite game for all eternity.

think about it, it would suck.

If I went to gamer Hell...hmm...

Oh! I know! It would consist of a thousand Michael Atkinsons perpetually hollering in my ear about the evils of video games while an unintelligent thirteen-year-old writes an insipid FPS script and forces me to proofread it. Every now and then, things would mix up and go for a more psycholiogical approach: specifically, I'd watch Bobby Kotick go from fresh-faced designer to industry Darth vader over and over again. Then, once I've been desensitized to even that, Satan would pull out all the stops and force me to play...God forbid...

THIS!

 

[Sonofadiddly]

I would be forced to play nothing but Devil May Cry on the hardest mode and die over and over and over an over and every time I would have to watch the horrible cut scenes with the agonizingly bad dialogue and I wouldn't be able to skip them! OH GOD I NEED TO GO CONFESS MY SINS.

I've actually given this some thought as I've kinda taken Gaming as a religion anyway. Here's how I see it working:

In Gamer's Hell you must live thru EVERY game you've ever played for more than 5 minutes. Demos don't count. "Played" is defined as actually playing the game (i.e. moving the character, shooting, etc) therefore watching a 10 minute MGS intro wont count until you spend 5 mins sneaking around as Snake snapping necks (or Raiden, you get the picture).

You have all the abilities of the character you play in the game as well as all your memories from playing the game whilst you were alive. You are subject to all the rules within the game however you can perform normal abilities as you would in real life (i.e. jumping, leaning, crouching, etc.) You must successfully complete the game in order to progress to the next game. The games will be given to you in random order despite the order you may have played them in, however games in linear succession (ex. God of War 1 2 & 3) will be played from beginning to end. I've always imagined a "Wheel of Fortune" type device to determine the next game.

Games without real endings will require you to reach a certain point value (think Pacman, Galaga, Frogger, etc) before ending the game. Games with multiple characters or party members (ex. Final Fantasy) can act as they would in game or if you prefer, have the embodiment of a friend inhabit that body. This friend, if still alive, will experience the game with you as they dream. There is no time in Gamer's Hell, so several weeks in-game can pass in a single night to one of the living. You can have them stay or go as you please.

Completion of Gamer's Hell allows you to experience any game you choose whenever you like and can leave the game whenever as well. You can even have access to games not yet created at the time you died as there is no time in Gamer's Hell.

I know this doesn't sound too bad, but imagine having to not only play but LIVE thru games like Resident Evil, Fatal Frame or *shudder* Silent Hill. And it's EVERY game you've played. From PC to Console to Handheld. Scary huh?

But there are a lot of awesome games (Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed, Portal) so it's good and bad, so it's more of gaming purgatory, isn't it?

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

I would imagine it would be MW2, against a team of 9 year olds, all calling me racial slurs. And using various.... "Tactics".... I don't like.

 

[Alcamonic]

I would be forced to play just quicktime events. A game full of quicktime events.

Heavy Rain? =)

 

[ShatteredBlack]

In Gamer Hell, there are no actual games- just QuickTime Events.

And they're all timed.

And we have to (no skipping) rewatch a 5 minute cut-scene after each failure.

Oh, and the propt calls for you to press the 'Щ' key and all you have is a 360 controller.

 

[ssgt splatter]

No kill shall be left unstolen, no place shall be safe from campers, no game shall play uncrashed.

Oh, and Jack Thompson and Michael Atkinson are the rulers of gamer hell, the devil couldn't stand up to them, they beat him at his own game (beeign evil)

THIS! Ahhh, these two are killing me with their incomprehensive arguments! My ears, my ears are bleeding!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

You'd have to play a good game, low-replay value game, but endlessly, so that the repetition of playing it 100s of time would cause intense boredom that would eventually make playing it torture.

Therefore, turning pleasure into pain.

 

[Regiment]

You'd have to play the parts, one by one, of everyone you've killed in every video game you've ever played.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I am forced to play battletoads on the NES and ET on the ATARI 2600 while jack Thompson, Michael Atkinson, Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman are all maniacally laughing at me. I'm not allowed to die in-game or fail at anything for if i do i am whipped horribly and tortured for days.

 

[shadow741]

I would be forced to play just quicktime events. A game full of quicktime events.

*cough* Heavy Rain *cough*
OT: I'd have to beat Ninja Gaiden 3 times with my feet, without dying once.

 

[MattZero]

Actually it would be the greatest game ever... It would be perfect for you in any way. If your into FPS it would be a shooter, RPGs are your thing then it would be the greatest RPG ever... BUT you would put it in and it would start to install go incredibly slow then freeze at 99% for a portion of your eternity until you loose connection to the internet and the DRM kicks you off forcing you to start over. You would want to just say "fuck it" and leave but the awesomeness of You're Perfect Game: The Game would compel you to continue trying to play it for eternity barely holding onto your sanity as you descend slowly into unending depression and rage.

Or maybe if you have an Xbox 360 it would come on three disks and you would play through the first two thirds of the greatest game ever become emotionally invested in the characters, immersed in the atmosphere, you would have mastered your skills and would want nothing more than to continue the excellent and unique gameplay and see the ending for the characters. you would put in the third disk to complete the game and it would be a Rickroll.

I did one of my agonizingly teeny-tiny scanner-sized comicstrips for that contest on this very topic!
My version of Gamer Hell was being placed in a fairly realistic online sandbox game but as one of the civilian NPCs who will be slaughtered by the player character with a wide assortment of weapons and vehicles only to re-spawn and repeat the process forever...or at least until the game's playership drops to nothing and the servers are shut down.

 

[CouchCommando]

Gamer hell is just full of movie franchise games, and nothing else.

 

[GreyWolf257]

I would be forced to play the Karate Kid game for NES. It was so friggin' stupid and so friggin' short, even though you can hardly ever tell that it is short because it is so damn hard to beat.

 

[NotAPie]

Oh no... No... not that game....
NO! I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THAT. NOOOOOOOO!

Huh and I thought your avatar was a hat...with legs err Shut up.

Ontopic: A pedestrian in Grand Theft Auto IV.

 

[sturryz]

It would be like Germany, the other Australia.

And I am going to pull the obvious joke here, I apologize.
