Combine games to form your dream game. What would it be? Forget the logistics of it and have it be pure fantasy. You have three ingredients.

'Vanquish' meets 'Halo' meets 'Deus Ex'.

Go.

I've had trouble with that as well.

Far as I've been able to discern, it's not a good Metal Gear game... but it's easily the greatest Hitman game ever made. I've been completely addicted to replaying missions to get all S ranks and challenges, and generally just to beat my own time, which is rare for me.

I really want a star wars battlefront + shadow of mordor combo where you play as darth vader and... just. kill. everyone.

Also, I'd love to see the super mario team tackle a toejam and earl game.

Finally, please someone give me Mordor: Depths of Dejenol but where the class you play dictates how you experience the game: A thief class plays 3rd person like, well, Thief (or splinter cell maybe). And archer class plays an FPS. A mage plays some kind of puzzle game where you combo size and type dictates what spells you cast and how powerful they are. Bards play a rhythm game that buffs allies. An fighters play a fighting game a'la mortal kombat. The closest game I've ever played to this is actually Splinter Cell 2's multiplayer, which was damned amazing and too often goes unheralded for the groundbreaking genre-bender that it was.

I thought about this a few times today. I think I'm pretty basic because my answer is just Skyrim plus Destiny 2.

If I could play a game with my friends that had the general smoothness and gunplay of Destiny with the large world that feels like it has stuff in it--run down shacks, caves, NPCs with radiant quests, etc--I think that would be my favorite game.

I'm not even really joking.

My dream game would be giving the Star Wars IP to CDProjekt Red so they can make a The Witcher 3 styled RPG in the Star Wars universe. Set it whenever, have it star whoever, I don't care. I just want to see someone make a cool RPG in the Star Wars universe, with the amazing world design and attention to detail they pulled off in The Witcher 3.

Hm... This is a tough one, but at the moment, I think I'm thinking,

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance meets Dragon Age: Origins meets Dungeons and Dragons. (Nobody said this was only video games.)

Alternatively, Rise of Nations meets the original Star Wars Battlefront II meets Destiny.

Or Skyrim meets Mass Effect meets Dishonored.

I could probably keep doing this and be utterly unable to come up with a solid favorite idea, really.

I think Jason’s book said it best. Bungie boasted Destiny was going to belong on the shelf beside Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Instead it belonged next to Twilight.

Skyrim in Destiny with Halo 3 vehicles

by Durandal, Tuesday, December 05, 2017, 05:30 (2550 days ago) @ Cody Miller

I want an RPG world filled to the brim like Skyrim, with Destiny's background, Halo's vehicle integration and mechanics like boarding, location damage, team vehicles, etc, with a side of Titanfall's huge robots summoned from my drop ship to fight Scarab sized Vex.

I want to custom build my character, my robots and my warthog from gear found throughout the world.

I want to take said gear and vehicles and face off with 6-12 of my friends in an epic battlefield that can change dramatically as we play (Like BF4 "levelutions" without the cheesy "hey it's flooded now" feeling).

I want team support abilities in addition to grenades, supers and punches.

I want the enemies to build structures and change locations in the world over time, and in response to mine and my friends actions.

I want to have battles I take part in have lasting effects to the game world, so I can brag to kinderguardians that I took part in some of the epic formative battles.

I loved EV and Overdrive, though Nova wasn't what it could have been. Ares was a lot of fun, I loved the idea of piloting your flagship while ordering your fleets around. I've always had a soft spot for top-down scrollers like Mars and Deimos Rising.

Asteroids is one of my all time favorites, and as such I really enjoyed Maelstrom. Cythera was great too, one of my early forays into big-world rpgs.

And then there was Harry the Handsome Executive. Goddam HHE. Whew, good times those were, good times.

Go.

It would be classic Castlevania plus even more restricted movement (and less restricted at times) that ties into the character and story and even more relevant choice in where to go and what to choose. Hopefully it won't be a fantasy much longer since I'm working on making it.
Also a game entirely based around magic, where all the spells are useful and impactful and there's (again) meaningful choice in what to equip and use, which is (probably) my next idea.
What is probably a fantasy is an FPS that's like Dark Souls. Other than that I pretty much have everything I want from 3D games except for a new Portal game, and that's more about the writing than anything else.

  • The depth of beloved modes and gameplay options from Halo: Reach. The general "whatever goes" capability of the Halo engine is a must.
  • The jolly, happy-go-lucky atmosphere of Overwatch, fostering a sense of attachment and intimacy for and between characters despite quite little established background.
  • Mass Effect's character background options (such as "Spacer" and "War Hero") refined and reinforced to become an integral component in interactions with distinct NPCs and navigating certain situations. Gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity, religion, and even how one presents themselves (hair, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc.) would play a role in people's perception of your character.

Mutant League football was pretty much ruined with one simple trick.

Just run offsides and repeatedly tackle the quarterback on the opposing team until he's injured. You get a penalty, but keep doing it. In the red zone it's half the distance to the goal, so they'll never cross. Anyway, keep doing this until all their quarterbacks are injured, and they have to forfeit. Ez epz.
