Games as my dad describes them.

[Shoggoth2588]

I thought this would be a game where we guess the answer of other people...not give out the answer...Well that's what I'll do! Good luck.

Easy: So you're this guy who swings around by the ceiling of this huge building and you beat up crazy people and, escaped prisoners. Ultimately I think you're trying to punch a clown in the face.

Medium: So you're this guy but not really and you have to save the world from this thing and you go through different lands but they're all mostly linear except for a couple. You fight monsters and stuff but you have to wait until its your turn but they can't attack you until you had your turn.

Hard: So its this game where you can be this guy (but there are other guys you can be, and some chicks too I think) where you walk around this desert place and other desert places just punching people until they die but its really easy because everyone dies really quick except for some big guys and some really fat guys. They totally explode when you kill them too.

A couple weeks ago, I was visiting home, and over dinner, my dad and I started talking about video games. He said one of his friends was looking to try out that one game I played...

"Where you're, like, in the desert, and you shoot all this stuff. It's like, really violent. You kill these Mad Max-looking guys and mutants. You have to find all your guns, and there's all these menus you have to go through to do everything. The mascot is that one kid or whatever, you know. You have a sticker of him on your laptop."

It wasn't until the last bit I knew what he was talking about.

Spoiler

Fallout: New Vegas

It was kind of fun trying to guess it in my head though. So, I thought it'd be fun to try it here. Describe a game, but be super vague, then put the answer in spoiler tags. Fun!

(Also, I wasn't sure if this belonged here or in forum games, feel free to move it.)

Funny, I figured out what game he was talking about as soon as I got to "Mad Max"

I don't know the 'Easy' and 'Hard' ones, but is the 'Medium' one:

Spoiler: Answer

Final Fantasy X?

 

[Winthrop]

You're this guy but you're not really him, and he's an asshole so he gets stabbed. But he wakes up after being stabbed and he like has to go and kill some guys or something and then he's not an asshole anymore.

Spoiler

Assassin's Creed

I was so freaking proud when I got that one.

OP: I was thinking Borderlands and your dad thought Claptrap was just an annoying little kid.

OT: You are like this kid and then you grow up into this guy, and he always ends up fat even though he doesn't have to be, and you run around kicking chickens and dancing.

Would 'Easy' be Batman: Arkham Asylum and 'Hard' be Borderlands (Specifically playing around as Brick, seeing as everyone explodes?)

You got Easy right but, not the Hard one. The hard one is probably going to be really hard considering it wasn't that popular a game but, it is a game from this generation.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

That game where a bunch of communist are in that place with a lot of plants growing everywhere and you all have those gas masks. And then sometimes weird Dwarves with the force attack you.

[Altorin]

my dad doesn't bother trying to figure out the games I play, as he's an old man, but my mom once asked me if a movie I was watching was "That batman thing?" referring to Arkham Asylum.

 

[Ctmnt08]

This game has been used on here before, but my Dad tends to describe things...interestingly.

"You play as some ugly fella with a voice that doesn't match his face, flying around in some ship, meeting a whole bunch of ugly aliens and killing some while making nice with others. Then you have sex with a space Australian. Or a guy, if you're a queer. (POSTER'S NOTE: I did not say Dad was the most forward-thinking individual.) Overall, it's a waste of time you could spend outside in real life."

Mass Effect 3

Another! (This is fun!)

"You look for crappy sheets of notebook paper while some fella who needs to eat more chases you around. Damn, boy, didn't you bring any extra batteries? And why does the game ask for $20 when you look at the guy?"

[Rabish Bini]

Ok, so you're this Kid looking for his Friends and you make all sorts of new friends and there are these monsters and they just really don't care but you have a key so your the choosen one except you aren't but actually you kinda are.

Seriously, I want someone to try and figure it out.

The "key" bit made it obvious; Kingdom Hearts. Or maybe I was just way too obsessed with that series a few years back.

I haven't even played the game yet still got to that conclusion quickly.

 

[tseroff]

The one where you're a guy with sunglasses and a trenchcoat and your brother's a sissy? And all the robots? And the secret societies? Ah, well. It looks awful anyways.

For some reason your friend's old lesbian lover or something makes you sniff her hand before showing you her talking cylinder, which is actually your friend's brain inside the machine or some shit. they put the cylinder brain on a pair of legs and make you fight it.
