Make a Great Game Sound Boring

[maninahat]

A junior employee in a major organisation fails to turn up on time, ruins someone's lunch, and causes an accident by pushing a shopping trolley (his sole job requirement). His subsequent behaviour was neither appropriate nor conducive towards an safer and happier work place. Also abused company equipment and attire for personal gain.

Skyrim : Kill dragons, clear dungeons, kill other stuff.

Ok kill dragons doesn't sound boring at all, but it gets pretty repetitive and they're easy as hell to beat

 

[TheScientificIssole]

Batman:AC- You cosplay as a bat and speak with a deep voice

Holy shit, that sounds artsy as fuck! It also sounds kind of amazing.

 

[Medimorpho]

inFamous: kill bad guys
The Legend of Zelda: find stuff and walk around until you find more stuff

 

[Vhite]

Dungeon Defenders: tower defense.

 

[lobster1077]

A failing, office sales team member struggles to close any decent deals. He resorts to stealing one of his more competant team member's clients, and bungles that deal too. It results in his dismissal, along with an incompetant car mechanic. They visit a dam, a lighthouse, and a pretentious jazz club full of smug beatniks. The villain owns the sales company and has an interest in growing flowers. His greatest crime involves not giving clients the package holiday they deserve.

What game?

Pretty sure that's Grim Fandango.

Doom: Run around hunting demons and keys.
Dark Souls: Death, death, death, a bit of progress, death.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Half-Life: You're a physicist and you do sciency stuff without the faintest idea of what you are doing.

That still sounds pretty cool actually!

You play an old man who runs around in a tight suit putting people to sleep.

Metal Gear Solid 4.

That actually sounds more interesting than MGS4 if I'm honest!


OT:

Metro 2033: Wander around an abandoned Russian metro network whilst fighting your biggest enemy, unresponsive controls!

Just Casue 2: Stop some guy from stealing oil, or something...

Mirror's Edge: You're a courier, you run a lot.

Any Assassin's Creed game: You walk really slowly through crowds and pretend to be an average person. Sometimes you might listen in on conversations.

Any Gears of War: Reloading your gun suddenly became something you can be bad at.

Deux Ex Human Revolution: You never asked for this.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Get an arrow in the knee, stop being an adventurer. (Sorry)

 

[saxxon.de]

Minecraft: Farm endless.
World of Warcraft: Farm endless.

-Go underwater, shoot at other dudes (led by a Russian) and get bossed around by an Irishman.

O__O I thought he was Australian!

OT:

Tekken 6: Pick Law, mash buttons.

LA Noir: Talking to people, the game!

God of War: RAAAR! GRAAAR! RIP! TEAR! ORGASM! *end credits*

Lol, nope. Definately Irish.

Just watch Yatzee's review of Dragon Age 2.

"A hero piddles around for a while while gobbing off his handsome friend."

But this is coming from someone who enjoys multiplayer FPS, where lack of plot and playing on the same maps is kept interesting because of the combat mechanics. DA2 has the same thing going for it IMO.

 

[Black Arrow Officer]

Hitman: Play dress up and throw coins

 

[Burntpopcarn]

Uncharted 3: Jump around, shoot a guy, repeat.
Gears of war: A bunch of freakishly muscular soldiers with gravelly voices run around and kill a bunch of aliens.
Team Fortress 2: a bunch of morons who are either armed with extremely weak or extremely nooby weapons kill each other for fun.
Black ops: walk five inches and some douchebag quickscopes you.
Mass effect: an extremely boring soldier and his companions "takes deep breath" SAVE THE WORLD.

Got it in one.

 

[ChickenZombie]

Battlefield

You get in vehicles, drive around, die. stand next to a flag. That's about it

Batman : Arkham city

You get to be batman....

Actually that second one still sounds awesome.

 

[War Penguin]

Skyrim: Lots of walking. Lots and lots and looots of walking.

 

[GTFOmysteak]

Catherine: While awake, press X next to people. While sleeping, push blocks.
