If only kids ruled....

What game would you create to counter the bad ones? Include a basic idea, gameplay, system, and main characters...oh and dont forget the genre...I'll start it off

Final Fantasy XIII (Ok they have been sucking somewhat since IX except XI and XII)

This game would be an RPG, naturally, and I would have 2 main characters: A cloud-esque character and a moogle. They would be fighting to save the world from an evil actor (Ashton Kutcher) that is intent on going around making bad movies and sleeping with everyone's mom.

Your turn!

I thought you said this was supposed to counter the bad ones, not the good ones.

Here, since some of my firends and I are making a movie based on this idea, I'll just imagine it's a game and propose it:

The main character is the reincarnation of an ancient Viking-Samurai warrior who fought against a powerful Necromancer long ago. Now the Necromancer has once again arisen, and has turned the townspeople into zombies. That's the basis for our script right now, and I get to be the Viking-Samurai. It'll rule.

Now the game interface would be a third-person hack n' slash, with tons of easily killable zombies approaching at a constant rate, so you'll be fighting hundreds at a time. There'll be a lock-on system that targets either an individual or a group, and a lightning-fast dash button that will turn your Viking-Samurai into nothing but a flash of motion lines as he reaches the enemies in less than a fraction of a second. Then you can pull off any number of combos with your katana/broadsword or your double-barrel shotgun. Powerful Viking Runes or Ninjutsu magic can be used to wipe out whole legions of zombies at a time. This would be best on PS2, because the X-Box and Gamecube controllers blow carrot testicles.

In High School, we learned that opinions need to be supported by facts.

Well first off, the GC controller has a strange button placement, but otherwise the buttons depress nicely and the controller fits the hand well. But the X-Box controller not only has tiny jellybean buttons that are placed incredibly close together while out of reach to most people under 15, the controller also manages to be so large and roundish that it appears to have been modeled for Sasquatch. And yes, carrots have testicles. If you look hard enough. Seriously.

I was just joking. You didn't really have to explain, I was just being mean a few minutes ago.

Anyways, try the good Xbox controllers. The "S," or whatever they are called. They are quite nice compared the big ugly ones they launched with.

I really can't see myself making games... Seems pretty complicated. Any ideas up in my head would pretty much just end up being area designs... I can't really think of a good, original storyline.

You know Pual, the Chaun doesn't want to get petty or anything, but you do realize, of course, the degree in which your post-name resembles that of a two-bit vegetable?

[foehammer]

Heh heh, good one Chaun. I hadn't noticed that myself, and you should hear where he got that name from (nothing to do with vegetables). And I think the Gamecube controller is wondrous. You just have to kinda design games around it, and it works grandly.

I think a game parodizing all that is bad about the video game industry, like, say, where the enemies are characters from some of the worst games ever. And you get to kill them with a two-by-four.
On a slightly more serious note an RPG based in the world of Xanth would rock my socks off. Well, actually it would cause a different bodily function but I don't wanna gross anyone out. You would play a character with a randomly-generated magical talent, and you'd have to save the world. It could be on all the systems, why not, it's an RPG. And in this one you'd actually be able to talk to the other characters via some kind of microphone. Like they have for X-Box Live. Punniness is the best way to go.

Hey in all fairness I never played tactics for the PS1, plus the guy from FF: tactics advanced looks like a wussy.

What the hell are you talking about? How can a vegetable be two-bit? And what kind of vegetable are you talking about? Your "Chaun"-ly ramblings are nothing short of confusing.

[foehammer]

Liek, you are quite right. And if kids designed video games it probably wouldn't be as cool as we think it would. We just have to weed out the bad ones pre-production and shut them down before we waste resources making them.
