Gaming Your Ideas on the best video game

[Kiba_the_Chosen]

I've found no thread like this one so sorry if it is already here. In any case, I know Halo 2 is great and people love their video games, yet there is something missing. If you would create a video game would it offer as much fighting as halo. Would it be a third or first person. I would like to know the video game that people would create if they could create one.
Now I will give everyone trademark to their ideas so no one could steal them. I really do not want to steal ideas because everyone has their own idea of the best video games. I for one think that the best video game would be a first person shooter like Samus only you could fly around in her ship and use all the weaponry and get great upgrades that you find on different planets.

Yes! I like this thread all ready. Okay, I think it would be interesting to have a mix of adventure/RPG/ and Tactics. There could be Adventure like Phantasy Star Online, RPG like Chrono Trigger, and Tactics like Fire Emblem. It would start as an adventure. Then you can get more partty members, and it would slowly evolve into a Sword of Mana kind of thing. At some parts, if your on a small boat or plane or something, then you would enter random RPG battles. Then, once you have a lot of charachters, there can be showdown levels between your guys and a wave of opponents in a tactics match!

The game I would love to make would have to be a mix of Fable experience and Halo Experience. I love how you can do so much in Fable, and i love the combat in Halo and Halo2. So I would make a game that takes place in medieval times but there would be an all out war. It would be all melee fighting(swords, fists, clubs, etc...) and it would be so intense. Im talkin like you get caught stealin one thing and all the guards are commin after you with huge upgraded swords and maces,. They also tell the town so people can join in to kill you. It would be intense!

Hey, wouldn't it be interesting if they made a Fable-like game, where you can have party members? That woulld be awesome. I thought of another game called "sport" where each level would beyou playing a differentsport. If you beat every sport, you are called the "sportmaster". Basically, you play one sport per level, until you beat them all. BUT theres a catch. If you beat a sport in Sportmaster mode, you unlock it in normal mode, where you can play it whenever you want. The amount of ooptions would be insane.

Those are some good ideas. I would also like a massive online play of Metroid. It would be like the league of bounty hunters. All the bounty hunters compete for most wanted pirates from the galaxy. That would be a good game but not the best. I will still need thinking time to come up with an idea of the best game.

Tough question. I would like to see a fusion between RPG and FPS. Sounds a little bizarre and not very easy but I think it is on the brink of coming. I know that Bungie intended Halo to be like nad RPG in some way and I think there next project might approach the idea in all seriousness. I just love FPS's but sometimes they can get repetitive so some other way to intereact with the world would be really cool.

An FPS--RPG woud be a great idea! I totally support that idea. Which reminds me of a different thread that involves Samus, Master Cheif, and KOS-MOS. After watching the newest episode of Judgement Day, where they said RTS needs a kick in the ***** like Fable kicked RPGs in the *****, I got to thinking of a way to make an interesting and innovative RTS. Something that could blend the lines beetween turn base and action games. Or maybe, it could have a timing system like Final Fantasy VII, where it fills reletively slow, but well enough to keep the action going. Or even better, a mix between Tales of Symphonia and a Fire Embleem style RTS. You do all the RTS stuff, then when you get into combat, its real-time.

[COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Hmmm....well, this is an interesting question. I think that the perfect video game would be a cross between and adventure, RPG, and fighting game. Like Shenmue, but with mroe action and a level-up system. I, for one, liked Shenmue, except that it was too slow. The idea was cool and unique, but there was too much backtracking and not enough action.

Hmm... Maybe a game where it took place in the distant, dystopic future, thousands of years after a nuclear war, where the entire world was a sterile, inhopsitiable wasteland except for a few select areas called 'havens' where most of humanity dwelled. All technology has been destroyed, and people have reverted to useing swords and the like. You would go around like in a Zelda game, given simplified combat controls in larger fights, and in small 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 fights, you would be allowed to fight with a Soul Calibur-esque fighting style. The fighting game portions would be worth more experience, but would also require more finesse. It would have a level-up system kind of like the one in KOTOR or Neverwinter Nights, because they both have a deep (and similar) level-up system. You could merely wander around, doing small side quests in the cradles, or wander on the scarred dunes, fighting the creatures mutilated by the nuclear fallout. There would be tons of oppurtunity for customizing your character and your teammates, who would in the larger battles, be controlled by an AI that you could customize. I'm not sure what the plot would be like, but I think that would be a cool and unique game. Well, not unique, but still really, really cool, if it were pulled off correctly.

Closing Remarks: You had better be right about that whole 'copyright' thing, Kiba. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

Don't the Deus Ex games present something along those lines? I'm pretty sure that a lot of people described Deus Ex as having some sort of medium between FPS and RPG, what with the stat building and whatnot. I'm pretty sure that there are a few games on the PC that have used that idea before, too.

As for the topic, well, when someone makes a game that can top The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past as my favorite game of all time, then I'm pretty certain that I'll be able to name that the perfect game. LttP is as close to perfection that I've played.

There are plenty of FPS games with RPG elements and RPGs with FPS elements... I don't know what rock people live under lol. Bungie certainly isn't going to pave the way for something that's existed for years and years.

I'm not including RPGs that happen to be in first person, such as Morrowind, Wizardry or the Xeen games, because they don't really mesh with the idea of a FPS... They do exist though.

Most of them are for the PC, however. Both the Deus Ex games fit into this, although the first moreso than the second. The System Shock games are also excellent examples and I really recommend both of them. I recently picked up Deus Ex 2 at Best Buy for only $8 and the first one is sometimes on cheap-o racks.
They're not hard to find, nor are they expensive. In fact, I'd say System Shock 2 is my favorite PC game in general.

There's also the No One Lives Forever titles, which while they are mostly shooters at heart, feature lots of exploration and problem solving. The second one makes use of an experience point system that lets you increase various stats of your choosing. I can't remember if the first has that or not.

Vampire Bloodlines is a recent RPG that's played in both 3rd and first person, with the gun segments mostly being FPS in style. Usually in these RPG-style games, however, you can't really just easily run around and blow crap up because stats directly influence your firepower prowess.

There's more out there and I know of a few for consoles as well, but I have to get going.

Thats not quite what I was thinking... I was thinking more in terms of a turn based or time based system, where you would be walking along, when suddenly your in an FPS battle. Like a first-person Tales of Symphonia. But your lists and ideas are good too.

Heres my dad's idea. He said to create a christian game, where you go on adventures helping people trying to be saved and create justice in the world. I heard that a game like this was in creation, but that doesn't stop it from being a good idea. Im not to sure about his idea myself. Maybe if it was a first person RPG.....

[size=1]Obviously, the notion of what makes a perfect game is entirely subjective. Personally, I love Battlefield Vietnam [indeed the whole Battlefield series...]

FPS makes for great fun, and you really need quick reflexes to survive. Battlefield rocks, because not only is it fun, but you are actually taking part in 'Operations' and battles that really occurred. But, to make it more fun, I'd like to see battles from every age. As in Medieval, WWI and WWII, Vietnam, Modern and even the Future [as in, UT type battles]. Another factor that would make the game awesome would be 'assassin' class runs...i.e. a Rainbow Six type deal, where your team has to bust into a compound and kill all the terrorists.

Ideally, a mix of Battlefield, Unreal Tournament, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six would make my day.[/size]

Hmm, I didn't really get that idea from your words above. Oh well lol. There are RPGs that have first person battles, but I don't really know of anything like what you're describing. There are dungeon hack games that seem similar to that, but they're entirely first person... not just the battles.

Now I don?t want to be criticized or anything but a mmp game from the games of .Hack: would really be interesting. Of course we all know that .Hack just means the games for the PS2. What I am saying is there should be a game on that. The game would be The World. The game would be where you could design your own characters. This would be quite the seller. I would like to see it be a game. The only problem is it would get repetitive. I would just put in a lot of things you could do to not make it repetitive. That is a good mmp game to me. Just the thought of actually creating a character and be able to choose what they are. I would be some guy with the Kantana. That would be awesome. Calling on your buddies oh and and? (into a thought that is endless and won?t come back for awhile unless someone shakes me awake.) :rolleyes:

Well, there are several problems that have occured every time I think about this. First, ther would be to MANY people. With the popularity of .hack, finding an unclogged server would be like trying to find a dropped ring in a mosh pit.

Secondly, the battle system would be nothing like the PS2 games. In those, you have to stop and pick your form of attack, then use it. This would work as a computer game, but only if it had some kind of headset communicator, because you would have to use all the keys. i just think it would be odd....

Finally, there would need to be a lot more charachter classes.

[Kiba_the_Chosen]

Well I never thought about that. I think there is a lot f things we could learn from everyone. I would like to see it on the computer though. If only we had the technology. It would be fine tuned if we did. Technology is one thing us humans don't really have complete control over. Even as I put this I feel like I'm not in total control. It feels like it is hiding its face from me by disguising itself as the otaku. It is just a thought. I'm wondering if we could make a debate on a computer game. Or even make a debate in these boards. In the Otaku Lounge section. We could have a negative team and an Affermitive team. That would be cool.
