Yeah, but, why is there no "I think call of duty is the worst video game since custard's revenge" option?Rainboq said:
The simplest and most practical method of dealing with eldritch abominations is to build the apparatus necessary to move a star, then to go forth into the galaxy and move them so that they are not 'right'. If you think that is a lot of work, you are not ready to fight them.Rainboq said:
Are you referring to the adventure-style dramatic piece or the recent indie comedic RPG "Cthulhu Saves The World"? *laughs* Best $2.50 I've ever spent!Rainboq said:
Whoops missed that! Anyway, that would be a great plot element, having a Lovcraftian notion of futility, overshadowing your actions and objectives. In that regard however I don't think the whole "Oohrah!" "Give Em Hell!" attitude that 99% of COD's characters seem to posses would contradict the overall theme of how your waiting for the inevitable.Rainboq said:
Perhaps a better template is needed than COD
A Call of Cthulhu/Call of Duty game? I need to take a Sanity check...
I don't know if a CoC FPS game would work. It doesn't really work with the setting. But I do like the idea of fighting enemies that fuck with your mind whenever you fight them. Perhaps a setting that's similar. That seems cool.
Just imagine: as you near one gravity goes all wonky, the walls shift around you, your allies begin to shift between their actual form and that of the enemy, and your gun is giving you an odd look with its new glowing red eye. That would be fun and would actually mess with the player's head.

You could probably kill some things, like Shoggoths. But that's assuming they don't kill you first.LondonBeer said:You realise of course that 99% of the mythos creatures are immune/incorporeal or would care if you shot them with anything less than a low yield tactical nuke. The nuke would tickle the other 1%.
The game BTW is called Delta Green, a CoC 'expansion' that dealt with special forces dealing with 'special' forces
I think youll enjoy the next X-Com game though, shame I wont :/
Are you kidding? Of course, I would. In our D&D group, I'm running an end of the world campaign for the setting I've been creating over the last eight years. Every single one of my players know that there's no way they can stop the the end from coming. You get some really interesting things out of people when they know they're doomed. Presented right, it would be awesome.Rainboq said:
