I want a game about being 11 years old again and dreaming about great games that are going to happen one day.

I had an idea some time ago about a Die Hard-like game but set in space, where some terrorists (who later turn out to be thieves) hijack a spaceship and you get "woken up from cryosleep by mistake... who knew" - that would be the tagline. It turns out, your a cop and you gotta take em all down by using your wits about it. Later in the game the stakes would get higher when it turns out your ex-wife is on the ship too.

The game would play like a Riddick clone, an action/stealth mix with 50 % sneaking, 50% shooting and some light exploration where you collect cigarette packs (to restore your health). So just like Riddick but more nonlinear - the general objective would be take out all the badguys, but it would be up to you to figure out the how.

Later in the game youd get to kick ass in a mech liek suit(obligatory) but initially youd have to even the odds by using the environment like taking out the lights and messing up the ships systems, setting up traps and stuff like that. Stealth would be just like in Riddick - HUDless and you could jump on peoples heads but i would also add Thiefs sound system by making our man Roy (lets call him Roy) wear these really heavy military boots that he took from the first guy he killed. The justification would be that for some reason, he really hates running around barefoot. He would also take the guys old lighter to iluminate dark areas, like in Prey.

Anyway the game would be a huge hit. The sequel would be set in a spaceport and it would be the same thing just bigger and better with more options, but the fans of the first game would say how the first one had better atmosphere. The third would be set in a bigass futuristic city and play lika a GTA clone and it would suck, but the fans would make a mod and fix it.

AFter that i would sell the franchise and retire.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
Basically something incredibly c&c heavy, branching story, with post mid-90's but not too fotorealistic graphics, dark and gritty atmosphere and setting, complex and non-atheistard story and many distinct playable factions.
Also what markec said only with easy combat. :oops:

Right now what I'd like is an Age of Decadence with less savescumming, set in a Stalker world, with graphics like Stasis (that kind of 2d would permit for better anomaly and such).

A proper Rainbow Six sequel.

Just go back to basics. Take the short and open-ended missions of original and Rogue. Add in gfx and breakable environment from Siege. And bring back Chavez, Arnavisca and Yacobi from retirement.

A perfect game for me would be a shooter with some RPG elements and:
- huge open world (Arma like)
- realistic post-apocalyptic setting (Metro games but with some Stalker addons like anomalies, artifacts, and underground labs)
- solid gunplay (Stalker or Metro) and sneaking (FC3?)
- interesting non-linear story (Deus Ex or Fo1)
- good RPG mechanics (as above plus maybe E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy)
- lots of player customization options (Fo4 or Skyrim)
- some drivable vehicles
- and maybe a bit of building/crafting (Fo4?)
That would do I guess.

Sea of Ubiquity
A MMORPG pirate simulator with a realistic ocean, merchant ships controlled by the AI to rob (but it would be hard to pull it off, maybe you would have to cooperate with other pirate players to do it, with potential backstabbing/betray between players), ports where to stop to buy/sell stuff and shagg harlots (who give you stds, because it's realistic), you wouldn't be forced to engage in theft and debauchery however, you could just fish/harvest coconuts and live off that peacefully if you want (you would need to eat/drink on a daily basis, so resources like food and clean drinking water would be very valuable). Also permanent death! But you would be able to breed and take control of your son once you character dies. If you die before you could spread your genes you'd have to roll another character and start anew. Gay pirates would be able to adopt a son from poor caribbean families however.

A dream game. Obviously this means no limits at all.

Game based in 1920s world with a bit over the top dieselpunk theme to it just to stretch the ideas what is possible far further while keeping the world of the time as it is. Includes people which are such as sexist and brutish as the real folks from 1920s plus different cultures (europe, china, russia, africa, trumpland, middle east, india etc.). Has magic, telepathy, witches, gods, tech, aliens, multiple worlds that are 10x the size of arcanum. Has crafting system which is based on complete freedom and real physics. You can attach scissors to coffee mug and fill with kerosine and use that as a weapon. Eventually you can research (when you can people doing research for you) atom bombs, biological weapons and video games. Or go with magic, telepathy or whatever to their own maxiumums. Can combine magic and tech. Combine everything.

It is kind of a crpg where you can also play it turnbased isometric, realtime, 1st person, 3rd person and switch between all of those at any time. Unlimited number of followers, deep companion system where every npc has its own motivations and depending on your group dynamics you either choose what to do as a group or the leader chooses. You work your way up and finally getting to be a leader only to find you are just one step higher than where you started. Chaos is a ladder. You can of course kill every member of your group and spend the money on vr porn with magical lizards and dick sucking magic.

You can play as a combat character or speech based character. Your speech skills are just modifiers added to your own voice. Just like your physical attributes are just modifiers to your appearance (game requires laserscanned model of you nekkid body before you can play). All communication in the game happens with real people. Everytime you speak to npc you are speaking to a real human who was raised up from baby to be that character. You talk to the microphone and depending your speech skills the human on the otherside either hears very soothing voice telling him exactly what to do or some mindless babble about walls and mexicans. Game works on all languages and if you in the real world speak many languages then this is a benefit for you. If you speak sign language the npcs are mailed to you and you can then try to interact with them in person. You can take speech lessons or hire interpreters or whatever too.

The game scales up (not in difficulty necessarily but in sheer scale of options) as you get more money and power. Eventually you can control armies and nations. The game also includes complex economic model which allows you to become a stock broker or other wealthy entrepreneur. You can buy, design and build your own houses and eventually cities. Or you can destroy stuff for shit and giggles because destructive environment. You can acquire atom bomb and use it and then play the game as fallout. You can do genocides and remove all magic, telepathy or whatever from the world both in small scale (cities) or in large scale (nations, continents, the world). You can become powerful mage who can open gates to magical worlds. You can be a dictator of small nation or all nations.

Depending how you choose to play you can play as a mercenary with small group who just does combat, assassin who plays alone and eventually kills world leaders, you can start a crime syndicate and control the world with violence, you can play as a politician and become a dictator or ruler of the free world, you can become a industrial magnate who owns the world either by owning railways, newspapers, slaves or land. You can start building spaceships and fight interstellar wars or you can open magical gates to other worlds and enslave them for magical power. You can play as religious cult leader and swim in money and virgin pussy.

You can choose to support hitler and make germany great again. You can try to overthrow hitler or any other world leader. You can simply go hiding when ww2 starts or you can try to prevent it. You can make it start sooner and last longer. Or you can just use it as an opportunity to do something else. Also it's multiplayer game where everybody play on the same server.
