World of Warcraft:
Ok so it's like Stargate, except you are a park ranger who enters a world of purple elves...

Bioshock. So the box art says you're in an underwater city that ISN'T Atlantis and that you genetically alter yourself in FPS form. How they work and what kind of genetic alterations there are will just leave your jaw hanging from the floor. That, and technically the objective is to save and/or kill little girls who inject needles into dead people while a giant dude in a heavy scuba suit with a giant drill and rahberhbahblarghbae'oijdc'pjas;doijeaw/;oicj;ovijfd
Well, on the box if you look behind the Ranger, it looks like St. Paul's Cathedral after an AC130 makeover.scienceguy8 said:
Condemned: Criminal Origins.
"Okay, uh...you're this cop, and someone's killing people. So, you have to go find this person while beating the crap out of homeless blokes.
...of course it's fine, they're attacking you for no reason!
...no, the game has nothing to do with wrapping someone's face in chains."

Nah, this was back when Diablo came out. I was around 12~15 and she was much more worried about Satan's influence on me. Now I'm 25 and an atheist, and we're still on good terms.04whim said:
She's more a strong believer than a fanatic. I was just making a point that she sees these things as symbolically important rather than as literal representations.
This made me LOL.RebellionXXI said:This. To my mom.
Me: No, mom, it's not a Satan worshiping game. It's a game about fighting Satan.
Mom: No! I will not have the image of the devil in this house!
Repeat ad nauseum.
OT:
Braid: So you are this bloke that need to collect jigsaw pieces to be able to save the princess from you while manipulating time when you fall of a cliff.
And no, there isn't a sand-clock in the game.
Crayon Physics Deluxe: So you are this crayon who must make red circles collect stars.
Painkiller: In it you play about someone who kills the demons of he... Well, it has a gun that shoots shuriken and lightning! What else can you ask for?
Just Cause 2: your this mercenary dude who goes to this island to find this agent dude who many believe has gone rogue, and you have to cause chaos by blowing up shit which helps you get to the truth and stuff, and you gotten do missions for 3 different factions and stuff. Oh and I think the mercenary guy is Mexican, plus the voice acting is horrendous.
"So Fatal Frame is a game where you walk around a haunted house looking for your sibling and your only defense against them is a household object... Yeah, I know it sounds like Luigi's Mansion but this one is scary... No, Luigi's Mansion wasn't scary..."
Let's say any of the Marvel video games's continuity. I would say especially X-men Legends, its like:
"Ok, so you play as this girl who can generate lava and flame from rock, and she is from a lost roman colony in the middle of the amazon that was left untouched for two thousand years, only it might just be a collection of people brainwashed into believing that, nobody really knows.
You are recruited to help stop Magneto, who was a holocaust survivor, but is only in his forties because of a alien who de-aged him. Magneto's top lieutenants are a century old shape shifter, a pyromaniac, and a guy called the "blob" whose mutant power is being immobile when he wants. All three of which were assumed dead at some point or another, and Magneto himself has appeared to die a minimum of three times.
The X-men you help include (among others) Psylocke, a telepathic British woman in an Asian body, who wound up this way because of a dimension jumping nutcase with magic powers and six arms, Jean Grey, who has come back from the dead multiple times and was once replaced by a cosmic entity who nearly destroyed the universe, Forge, whose mutant power is essentially "To build anything required for the plot", Gambit, a thief who had himself brain damaged by one of the x-mens enemies because his powers were so strong he could have destroyed the planet..."
About this time I usually have to stop explaining because the person I'm talking to has walked away, shaking their heads.

Shadow of the Colossus been done yet?
You play a boy - no wait a girl - no wait, that is a boy. And you have to kill these 16 giants because.. er.. that's what we do around here, giant man/woman voice says so. After you kill a bunch of them, some guys come along to stop you because.. er.. that's how it goes. But now you're a demon, so it's fine so you try and smoosh 'em, but they escape, throw your sword into a pool and you turn into a baby. Your girlfriend/sister/friend wakes up/comes back to life and takes you and your horse to the top of the castle/church/cathedral/spire. Life is good. Then you do it all again. 4 times.
