If you could take the best elements of all the games you have ever played and put them together into a theoretical video game what would you end up with.

My preferance would a large futureistic universe to explore and mess around with (freeroaming)
FP or OTS gameplay involving guns various melee weapons and your bare hands or claws in this case. Thats right claws the ability to choose to not be human for once and be an alien instead. Deriving this from other games the gameplay itself would sort of be like free mode on GTA4 but with a purposs. Full on PVP you can kill anyone you damm well want to but can also group up join factions that kind of thing. An RPG without leveling and grind bullshit at all. Where sombody advanced in game can still be killed by a newbie or group of. The rpg element im thinking of is for aliens becomming super predator by becomming specialised. Im thinking this would radicaly alter apearance and gameplay. Like a spore like evolution by comming a fast moving climbing and jumoing thing or gigantic damage soaking slow moving thing.
Maybe you have to harvest somthing from enemy players and other npcs to get better. Im thinking at certain points along this theoretical evolution tree you can become hybrid and do other useful things. Im thinking you could climb a tree and ambush people or hide behind foliage EFFECTIVLEY so that you dont stand out. Maybe you can vison bonuses so that you can see better id like to see your ideas. A game where you can join factions for certain benifits or be a loner. These benifits might be the whole specialising thing or area but loners could find non ocupied places make it their den and have to fend off anyone else. Large changes in scenery from gigantic tree forest to icy wasteland. Starting to sound a bit like alien vs predator in some ways but i liked being alien in that game so not entirely a bad thing. Everybody seems to like deathcam which is what i call finshing moves. Maybe you could do that when you harvest the specialising material from somthing. Big npcs that you can bring down in groups. Specialising so you can spawn minions or get infra red anything.

What are your thoughts about my theoretical perfect game or one of your own. If you do have to critisize give a reason because some people lack those thought processes. Id like to know your thoughts on the subject add to my idea or make one of your own kind of thing.

Another HP Lovecraft themed game but more like Oblivion the Dark Corners of the Earth(Which I loved) sort of a first person adventure where you gain xp by investigation and learning rather than killing monsters. Sounds dull? Well I doubt it would be for true Lovecraft fans it would be about full Immersion a perfect recreation of a twenties setting.

But of course if a games company got there hands on it there would be a shoggoth on every corner.

i'd like a linear, third person game - awesome combat, immersive story, lovable characters, decent dialogue...

don't care about specifics... but basically a perfect third person, kill random shit game... if they made DMC 3 but far better (DMC has always had shit story and pretty poor characters and dialogue, ie: "Jackpot!")

also... i think this topic has been done before... still, yay! :D

If that's as good as it gets i'm giving up gaming for good. :p

I think the perfect game would need to have an immersive story first off. Something along the lines of GTA4, Uncharted or God Of War.

Maybe 3rd persion action/adventure would be my favourite and in a huge sandbox world around the same size as San Andreas.

Come to think of it. Give me San Andreas with a better story, better graphics a cooler character, multiplayer and a lot of polt twists incured by decisions made by the player and i'll be set.

Excuse me for not looking through 138 bloody pages to find if this idea has been done before. I kinda figured but dont really care, say im refreshing the subject.

I was just getting down some minor ideas about what id want in a game.
Games with decent plot lines are just like movies theres good and bad ones.
I have one major problem with a immersive plotline and this is IT ENDS.
Your left with this lack of a new game that can only be filled by bying a new one its like an addiction. An addiction that i dont see as a problem. HL2 was good but that ended too like a book it stops being as enttaining after finishing it for the third time.

My perfect game however will never exist.
Its like asking a brick to fly or for people to stop being so bloody stupid.
Gaming is not entirely an established form of entertainment and whilst this remains the case they will continue to make the same bullshit again and again. EA is becomming like the hollywood for games or somthing although i remain blissfully ignorant of the finer details. EG Quicktime events or whatever i cant think of more examples right now. Watch no punctuation if your curious to what they are.

My hope is that some sort of terrible accident (I was banking on the LHC for this actually) fuses together the coders at Infinity Ward and the writers at Obsidian and the dudes at Ion Storm who made Deus Ex. This freakish fusion of flesh lives only to create awesome videogames, and gives me a massive Cthulhu rpg adventure set in a freeroaming version of Arkham and it's surroundings, incuding appropriate vehicles and trains to make the journeys. There'll be mysteries both mundane and supernatural, and weapons and magic of all sorts, if you're willing to sacrifice your sanity.

well, the peak of exellence when it comes to gaming has already occured, back in the Nintendo 64 era, there were 2 games of such perfection nothing has ever come close to being as flawless, they were named: Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask <3

I don't know what "perfect" would be but I imagine something giving me a completely new gameplay. Like when I first started RTS after playing turn-based games or when switching from solo FPS to online ones or when entering the MMO's world. I don't know what the next genre will be but I'm expecting it.

As a side note, I'd like to see a good adventure game in the vein of Monkey Island with basic 2D graphics and loads of humour in it.

an FPS with anatomically correct dammage, guns and bullets but as we all know that wont happen because you have to shoot people 6 times about the faceand neck with a barret to kill them where you can stab them once with a knife and they die... no health bars just broken and useless limbs with a functioning bleedout system based on what would actually happen if you got shot there

Hm, perfect game. Well, I like game genres that don't fit together too well.
But I suppose you could make a Rhythm/Adventure game. Maybe add some Action.
Anyway, my idea of a perfect game...
Awesome soundtrack featuring great songs from famous artists such as Aerosmith, and Blue Oyster Cult
A GOOD Rhythm minigame, preferably one that isn't another DDR game, because I seriously hate those.
A great story, one that sucks you in.
Well made characters, so well made that even if a minor character died, you'd be sad.
Create your own character, I love create your own character games. ie: On The Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness. Every character interacted with your in-game avatar so well, it sort of felt like you were in the game.
And probably a lot more things that I can't remember.

Jak III?
i liked Jak III... but i didn't like the combat... also too easy, great characters though :D

thinking on it more... if they took some ideas from Sergei Lukyanenko's novel "The Night Watch" and made that into a game i'd be happy (not the movie... God i hate that movie)

A game in which you are a innocent civillian and your country (preferrably United States) falls under a grand and relentless attack to which the country can barely respond, and almost all attempts at defese fail.
The gameplay would be sandbox/stealth as you, the civillian must escape the country as a refugee. Other civilians like you all can work together to try and flee. Anythig you see can be destroyed or used. That shed that you can hide in can also be blown up. That large [what used to be area-denyingly inhibitive] train locomotive can be hotwired and jacked, granted in the tracks are clear and that enemy tanks don't blow you to pieces.
Ahh, the fear of the gun as opposed to the pleasure.
