Describe an ideal game and see if it already exists

[Misanthrope]

Or close enough. I'll start

 

I'd like an online RPG that follows very specific criteria:

 

1. It's always online, persistent world but doesn't charges monthly
2. Has no PvP at all (no, separated/segregated PvP areas are not enough they end up driving the community and creating an environment I don't like)
3. Has no implicit grind (no, pay-to-not-grind is not ok I'd like that doesn't focuses on grinding, it's possible but not necessary to progress you should be able to jump to "end game" content right from the get go after a dozen hours or so)
4. Has a combat system that is not simplistic and boring and/or can have some depth to it

I'd like an fps to fit the following criteria

     -Yearly releases

     -Tons of DLC that you can pre-order

     -Benefits for looking under thee caps of my mountain dew

     -Kids screaming in my ear

     -an engine not far derived from quake 3 arena 

 

Just doesn't seem to exist

Not amused.....well maybe a bit.

An rpg with the physical size of daggerfall, the depth of mass effect series in terms of quests and voice acting, combat with the dynamism of the magicka spell system with the tactical acumen of divinity orginal sin.  It should be a dx12 ONLY game, a pc only game.  It should be set in a world that lives in a universe and a multiverse, and over time the civilizations can develop starships capable of traveling through space and meeting other civilizations.

 

 

I want existence itself, all the fantasy of humanity built in as potential backstory.  I want something better than reality made to seem like reality.  And I want the ability to jack in my own brain stem to matrix into this world to become a living god.

Star citizen but way less laggy and less file mass, without giving anything up

[techswede]

Eve, Mass effect and star citizen slammed together to create the most epic space mmo ever

 

All the complexity of eve with star citizen graphics and optional controls. + The character detail of Mass effect

[Overkilled]

I like Wii sports

I think we have one with 5 year olds... Except that has Doritos too... Can't be it... It can't involve Doritos.

(mine doesn't exist)

-survival oriented

-with storyline, never ending. (will explain more later)

-user choices determine outcome of story (more so than Mass Effect)

-Metro-type setting. Apocalyptic wasteland with mutants

-but also zombies

-radiation a common threat (gotta have dat gieger counter sound)

-creepy enemies, i.e. invisible enemies like in STALKER (or/and enemies that are just as smart or smarter than you)

-NPC enemies (other humans)

-romantic interests

-base building (and not just preset bases with preset options, more like minecraft)

-vehicles (from a HL2 style go-kart of death, to a ship you have to restore and captain to another continent)

-A mostly topographically accurate world map, consisting of the entire planet (yeah, not gonna happen for a WHILE) including antarctica

-random encounters on the high seas (derelict military/vargo/cruise ships anyone? did I mention zombies and or mutants?)

-when your character dies of old age (or of "unnatural causes"), you play as your child/spouse, provided you have one. -ad infinity (never ends)

-the ability to build a community. You can recruit randomly generated NPC's to join your base.

-full day/night/season/weather/inclimate weather

-random natural disasters (volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes/tsunamis, radiation storms)

-epic soundtrack

-craftable weapons

-dynamic economy

-optional multiplayer will all previously mention features, except replace "recruitable npc's" with "other players"

-killing other humans without cause has a downside, damages their gear as well as attracting zombies/mutants/other hostile humans. For both melee and firearms kills.

-in multiplayer, you would start out in the country in which you live, as near as to where you actually live as possible (major cities)

-different careers: doctor, soldier, merc, guard, engineer, hunter, scavenger, miner, merchant, etc.

-first person ONLY.

-melee combat and movement like Dying Light

-gunplay like Battlefield

-stat and level system like fallout

- full voice acting

-M rating for nudity+"romance" scenes. (for realism)

-fully customizable first character (subsequent characters [children and spouse] random [spouse] or procedurally [child] generated.

-"raids" for multiplayer. Such as raiding a military base where nuclear warheads were stored, looking for weapons/supplies. Oh look, what's that giant mutant (or horde of zombies, etc, you get the point) that grew as a result of the warheads not being maintained and their fissile materials being exposed (nuclear power plants, toxic waste areas, etc.)

-damage system like an FPS (except for raid bosses). Outside of raids your own stats determine your hardiness and effectiveness with different tools and weapons (aiming, effective range, ability to run for your f**king life, etc)

 

What's the story you ask? Trying to re-build humanity after a global catastrophe (solar flare, multiple asteroid strikes, global sized emp, nuclear war, etc)

 

A.K.A. The greatest post-apocalypse simulator of all time.

 

did I mention my game doesn't exist? and probably couldn't exist for another 30 years or so?

[Me1z]

Realistic open world sandbox? Something like the mutant baby of GTA and Space Engineers. I want a nice balance of realism, chaos, and creativity; I want true freedom in a virtual world. I want real life but with 3rd person and no responsibilities. Has anyone made it yet?

The Sims with cheats?

The Sims with cheats?

 

I suppose, but there's the lack of multiplayer interaction and the sims has this strange 'perspective distance' between the character and the player. In my ideal game you would have direct control over your character's actions rather than just guiding it through life.

Sounds like you want my game, minus everything post-apocalyptic

[CatzRuleZWorld]

Completely skill based

Can be played with friends

Regular updates so it can't be hacked very effectively

Doesn't require too beefy of hardware

Not first person so you can see what's going on around you

 

Oh wait! That's league of legends!

You definitely dream big. You can probably talk about developing such game and then don't deliver on 3/4s of the items on the list, the Peter Molyneux method I call it.

[Guest]

A new Mount and Blade!

 

So keen for Bannerlord!

 

 

-Snip-

 

Perfect! 

[-TesseracT-]

• FPS
• Huge community
• Skill-based ranks
• High skill ceiling, hard to master
• very competitive
• tactics
• smoke grenades and flashbangs

CS:GO  :wub:

Given enough money, I would deliver. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to making things so not delivering would drive me nuts.
