[Macgyvercas]

Hmm. Seems fun, so I'll give it a go.

You're like, this kid genius or something who gets marrooned an Mars or something, and needs to use a pogo stick to get past aliens and get home. Then you need to, like, go to their planet and kill them or something.

Spoiler

[lacktheknack]

So there's this kid, and he's all naked and running around crying as blobs of unadulterated body horror try to kill him. And it hasn't created a Fox News frenzy.

There's also this game series where nothing happens and you wander around looking at things and solving environment puzzles, and it's really lonely.

Myst series.

You play as some guy in a white robot suit that he goes around with rockets in his butt sliding everywhere shooting bad robots and always stop for a smoke and has a big old guy with a robot arm that might transforms into a minigun (I think)

Spoiler

Vanquish

[Rad Party God]

Where you, like, shoot stuff and it's all blurry and old, you can see the face of a guy down in the screen and there's these brown, spiky things shooting fireballs and you need to open lots of doors.

Spoiler: Pretty easy.

Doom

This game where you're a drug junkie who's plane crashed in the ocean and shoots lots of ugly guys to get your drug fix and you're so high you can even throw lightnings out of your hands. And there's creepy kids. And an overweight scubba diver with a drill following them.

Spoiler: Pretty easy too.

[Jaeke]

So you're like this dude who wakes up on this ship, and then it almost like blows up so some dude who looks scared is like "Bro we gotta get off this ship that almost blew up" so you escape from the ship that almost blew up and then you find Angelina Jolie and then do other stuff.

Except that my dad would actually describe it the way that it should because he actually plays games.

 

[Alternative]

[Pebkio]

Well, you start off as someone in a dungeon. Then you escape with the help of this one guy who seems important but then dies right away. Then you have to go on a quest that's not explained very well. You can loot the bodies you find or buy things at a store. It's got a stamina meter. You can use a sword or magic or a bow. There are factions you can join. You have to fight demons.

There are orange messages on the floor.

Dark Souls

 

[SirPlindington]

You're this awful murderer who stabs people all the time and shoots them in the head. It makes your soul black and evil.

Spoiler

Dishonored

My Dad's exact words. Seriously. I love the man, but he does not understand video games.

That's what you get! Super vagueness was requested, super vagueness was delivered XD.

I don't think I've ever played a RPG where the main character knew exactly what was going on and his or her role in it. Not mysterious and suspenseful enough for developers perhaps.
