What game would you cast into the pits of hell

[neonsword13-ops]

Call of Duty: Modern warfare 2. A broken piece of garbage. Fallout 3 had more bugs and it's still the better game.

 

[Trololo Punk]

Superman 64 anybody?

Plus it's been characterized as an unstable and probably very fragile device. It might have been scavenged, but for all anyone actually knows the purpose of the GECK is to create pure water. Water is life, with it life restores.

Haven't played Fallout 2, can't comment on that GECK. In Fallout 3, however, you speak to the man who made the GECK -and- can activate it. It creates a lush, virgin landscape.

yeah you could have a bunch of little kids living in a cave for a couple of hundred years

How? What do they eat? What do they drink? How do they survive the nearby mutant infestation?

Sorry, Little Lamplight is just beyond redemption.

In the intro to Fallout 2 it shows a nice picture of New Hampshire etc but has a disclaimer of results may vary .

The only game I ever wanted to cast into the pits of hell, was "The Getaway." The controls made it completely unplayable. It was the only time in my gaming life that I literally threw the controller down.

I'm not saying the GECK is magic, but the idea that it can purify a tidal basin's worth of water of radiation should be pretty reasonable for the future-tech of the universe.

Purifying water isn't that hard even using technology from over half a century ago in the real world. Though I'm willing to pretend that radiation is magic, like Fallout 3 wants me to think, but that still doesn't excuse using a GECK to purify water when they explain that it's a magical terraforming device that turns arid, worthless land into fertile, lush land. Seems to me that food would be much, much harder to get in the DC area, since there are no farms, and everyone is living off of two century old twinkies.

Little Lamplight... it could happen.

No, it really couldn't. I'm not trying to be ridiculously nitpicky here, but suspension of disbelief only forces me to buy into a broad premise, not every little detail. I can buy into a retro-futurist wasteland full of mutants and laser guns, but they're asking me to believe that a bunch of children maintain a breeding population for over a century (read the terminals, it's over a century), and somehow kick out every adult? Sorry, I just can't buy that.

Radiation is fucking magic in that game, instead of giving you cancer it turns you into a ghoul or gives you a 6th toe. Hell you can still farm the land not even 100 years after the world got nuked to all hell, never mind that radiation wears off in half lifes, never mind that the plants would die from fallout in the water, never mind the plants being irradiated and unsafe to eat! We still can't enter Nagasaki or Chernobyl, and those were a weak bomb and a nuclear reactor going off.

Considering that we can barely clean up after nuclear fallout and radiation the damn GECK is pretty important, if it can give life to a wasteland than irridiated water is nothing. The GECK was in Fallout 2 so blame that one for the magic McGuffin, not Fallout 3. And for the record, the twinkies were supposedly running low due to the amount they couldn't get at in food shops that canibal raiders and mutants reside in.

So you'll accept mutants caused by a virus, laser and plasma weapons and power-armor and the fact that you can still live on the planet but a colony of chilren is out of the question?

The fungus fights radiation and is a staple food source of theirs, scav teams bring back food and weapons and the mutants don't use the backdoor that the kids have barricaded, besides they have guns. Oh and the cave is full or irradiated water.

The only one I don't see happening is the Mutant one, those bastards have missile launchers and miniguns. No way plywood will survive that.

Yes. That is exactly right. One is introducing a foreign element native to the setting, and one is attempting to convince me that human nature is fundamentally different in the Fallout universe. Kids listen to adults by nature, and the adults would also have a size advantage, not to mention the fact that you'd need adults to maintain a steady population for that long.

Suspension of disbelief covers setting, which is what you mentioned (lasers and mutants); it does not (and never will) cover humans behaving in a way fundamentally against their nature.

 

[Aeonknight]

How about franchises? Call of Duty spawned the world's absolute most rabid fandom in existance,and the game is sitting on the south border of meh.

brb hating CoD cause it's cool.

Actually, kids listen to people they hold in high esteem, or those who have power over them, not necessarily and adult. Besides, most teenagers enter that rebellious/alpha stage when they become teenagers, and they practically are adults 16. Doesen't matter about size either, guns are one hell of an equalizer and most of those kids pack a pistol at the very least. Let's also not forget that kids under the age of 16 can reproduce, they've gone through the proper maturation stages to be capable of it. So combine horny teens and oprhaned kids and it isn't impossible for Lamplight to keep a small population. And as stated before, they have scav teams, water and fungus that they can eat to counteract radiation.

Fable 2+... and if possible, Molyneux as well. He can talk shit to the hellish denizens about it all he likes, hype the games up, and release all of them down there, where Satan won't force them to play it because even hell-dwellers don't deserve that punishment...

Someone hasen't played Fable 3, otherwise you'd say that. They took even more freedom of choice from the game, made it even more ridiculous and made it more linear and dumbed down.

Custer's Revenge on the Atari.

Then again, every porn game on the Atari deserves to be bashed open, set on fire, and cast into the pit of death.

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

... *is trying to think of a game to throw into the pit of eternal hell fire*... Elemental: War of Magic... literally the only game I can think of. The other games mentioned have flaws but if you threw every game that had a flaw into hell there would be no games left, and trust me, EVERYTHING has a flaw.

 

[an874]

Star Wars - The Force Unleashed 2: Padded for length, yet very short, degraded combat from the first, and a bad story with worse characters.

 

[PinkiePyro]

most of the third party shit that comes out for the wii

Sorry, no sell. Couldn't happen. 13-15 year olds giving birth isn't exactly safe, and they have no trained medical professionals, no healthy diet, no one skilled enough to take care of infants. Couldn't happen. You're just making yourself look silly trying to justify this.

Further, the human body can't survive on mushrooms and water.

Duke Nukem, for many opinionated reasons.
