I can come up with better!

[quietchat]

I'm sure that you've thought about it once, thought to yourself "Man this game blows! I could come up with somthing waaaay better than this!" And that's what this thread is for. Think of the games that you've played that are utter suck, and explain what you would do to make it better.

If making a bad game isn't your fancy, then come up with something original! Explain a game that you wish you could make. Don't just stop with a brief talk about it, I want a theme, a character, a setting, a plot, and just what would be setting your game apart!

Have at it.

I would really love to point out how you didn't even mention gameplay at all in this.

Do you even read before you post?

[Rincewind]

LOL, anyway a game named TRAPT its about running and doing the same things in the same place for many hours argh , take a look at the review on any gaming forums , but i did finish it lol

[Koopaking]

Well after playing games like Dead Rising and violent games, I thought up a game that sort of merged the over the top violence with the "anything's a weapon system" of Dead Rising. What I thought up I wanted to become the most controversial game ever. I haven't come up with a name for it but here's what I thought up. (I swear nobody better copy this idea)

You play as this man, he has no name, no history, or character. He wishes only to kill. But he can't kill just anyone, oh no. The game opens with him coming upon the grounds of an elementary school. He walks in the front door, and the madness begins. Your objective is to brutally slaughter the faculty and students of the school in any way possible. You have no weapons on hand, all weapons are picked up around the school. You can stab out children's eyes with pencils, pick them up and break their bones by snapping them in between desks, dragging them to the lunchroom to stuff them in the oven or press their faces onto the grill, the possibilities are nearly limitless. There are no rules, no missions, just carnage. After you manage to kill most of the children and faculty, the police bust in, and you have to avoid them and escape from the school. After that you lay low and find your way to a middle school, where the brutality once again occurs. You subsequently will advance to high schools, preparatory schools, universities, and the like. There are many secret weapons to be found in the schools that can help you out, like janitors who are packing bombs in the cleaning closets, or fanatical principals that keep loaded guns in their offices. An added bonus is that you can use the "Beg for mercy" techniques, which will slowly torture your underage victims into begging for dear life. You will have the option to re-enact famous school shootings, should you find the guns that are hidden throughout the levels. And for added controversy, why not add the option to rape the children as well?

I think I have come up with one of the most brilliant concepts for a video game ever created.

Koopaking's awesome game idea(tm)

[monsoon 10]

The thing that bothers me most about Koopa's game is that it's probably going to have the most blandest, and poorly written characters in videogame history.

[Koopaking]

The main character will be bland and faceless for a reason, so the player can become the character themselves and it's actually like they are doing the things themselves. The other characters may have some writing to them, but they are all objects to be killed off. There can be more prominent characters like principals or deans that can will have deeper character.

[monsoon 10]

It's sad when a game suffers from FFXII syndrome in which the characters you fight are more interesting than the character you play as.

[Koopaking]

Oh you don't fight them. There is no fight. They all will die. And the person is you. You really must have some sort of inferiority complex if you think that fictional game characters are better than yourself.

[monsoon 10]

Oh you don't fight them. There is no fight. They all will die. And the person is you. You really must have some sort of inferiority complex if you think that fictional game characters are better than yourself.

....I don't think you understand what I'm saying how could that person be basically a digital me when it seems that all I have control over is how and what I kill. I don't get to control the relations he has with other characters, the way he dresses, hell I bet I don't even get to make one moral decision. Just kill, kill, kill which will probably get really bland really quick.

[Mugen]

I would really love to point out how you didn't even mention gameplay at all in this.

Why are you so serious?

[Koopaking]

You are coming to conclusions too quickly about the options. As there are no missions, character customization can become a big part of the game rewards. Cool outfits, etc. Hell you know what I'll allow you to create your own character. And kill kill kill could get bland, but it's the kill kill killing of children, which will cause quite the media uproar, which in turn will make the game sell sell sell!

[monsoon 10]

Why are you so serious?

The internet is serious business.

[Mugen]

Ofcourse it is....

[Shigami]

You haven't seen anything untill you play this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsYkrQT-rxw.. *i haven't played it *

[quietchat]

Hey Koops, you sound like you'd like the Columbine Shooter Simulator. I think that actually won an award as best flash or somthing like that, but everyone else was too pissed off that it had you shooting kids.

[RzXzB]

I have FPS creator with all the packs and RPG MakerXP so I make my own games lol

[quietchat]

Are any of them good?

[RzXzB]

Yes most them are really good

[Mugen]

I have FPS creator with all the packs and RPG MakerXP so I make my own games lol

You mean like a dev-kit?

[Russkie]

Its odd you should bring this subject up, a day or so ago I was ranting about a game I new could have been alot better, but now I cant think of the name or why it upset me.

[quietchat]

Not really Mugen. A dev kit is a mock gaming station. There are a few progrms that you can use on your computer. There were also two different games on the ps1 that allowed you to make rpgs as well.

[RzXzB]

Go to FPS creator website to see what type of software I use

[Mugen]

^ Will do! xD

[RzXzB]

It spent alot to get it because I bought all the packs that went with it

[quietchat]

How much is it?

[RzXzB]

I payed $50 for fsp creator and over $200 for all the packs.

[quietchat]

Eich. Are you gonna market any of those games?

[RzXzB]

I have not thought about that yet I bought it to have fun. I always wanted to make my own fps game.

[Felix42]

Wow this has trailed off hasn't it... this makes no sense to me.

Anyway i would change Neverwinter Nights 1, since i looked forward to that game for months, and it sucked horribly.
I would change the fact that it is a stupid hack and slash, that tries to be a clever tactical RPG, and make it into a clever tactical RPG.

Make it possible to control more than one character, 5 or 6 would be good.
Make fights that make sense (differentiated enemys, perhaps a conversation with some of them) instead of one endless fights against standard monsters.
Make it less munchy (smaller coin amounts, less and weaker magical items, less XP or slower levelling) so that you do not become more powerful than Elminister in a few months of gameplay.

[quietchat]

No, it hasn't trailed off at all. I made it a two part forum.

Are there any other aspects you'd change?

[monsoon 10]

Ofcourse it is....

*face palm* How did you not get the reference?

[Mugen]

Does it really matter if I got it or not?

[monsoon 10]

Does it really matter if I got it or not?

Yes, it absolutely does.

[Mugen]

Well, I'm sorry. So what did I miss?

[quietchat]

I guess that the internetz is serious business, but maybe not so much in this thread.

[monsoon 10]

I guess that the internetz is serious business, but maybe not so much in this thread.

This doesn't concern you.

[Mugen]

Actually, I don't care what I missed. So, uhm, back to the OP.

[quietchat]

Here's a total suck; Bomberman: Act Zero.

If I had the chance, I'd take the game and just rebuild it like the originals. Better yet, why not just make it a bomberman Collection, with every game from the first to the n64 titles?

[Mugen]

That Bomberman was on '360, right?

[quietchat]

Yup. This was the first universally hated Bomberman game.

[Mugen]

I can only guess it was made by a different comapany...? I'm correct?

[quietchat]

Nope. The game is developed by a second party company. There are 1st party, 2nd party and 3rd party developers. The first makes a console, and a game. So, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have internal development teams that creat games. Third party developers make titles for every console.

A second party typically only creates games for a single console. Hudson is one of those, who make games for Nintendo, including Mario Party and the Bomberman Titles on the N64. I'm not sure when they joined nintendo since bomberman started off multi console. But anyway, you can't really sell anything with the cutsey style that's been established through the Bonberman on Sega Cd and the N64. So for the 360 game it had to get a much more evil tone. I don't know if Hudson soft is still a second party right now.
