Hit blocks to collect them, then place those blocks somewhere else, doesnt matter where. Use special blocks to upgrade your tools so that you can gather blocks at a faster rate! OMG!

Minecraft - No story, not even any real arc, just a huge world with no structure and anything you accomplish will be immediately destroyed by exploding green penis monsters.

Morrowind - Walk around a bland eternally brown swamp the size of a city being harassed by flying bastards who are a pain to hit until you contract a disease and find some gloves that let you kill god.

Trauma Centre - Cut people open with the help of magic wonder gel and try to remove either beetles, triangles, centipedes or a spider from various internal organs despite them having obviously fatal wounds.

Etrian Odyssey - A cartography simulator.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Throw boxes and eat candy bars.
He didn't ask for skittles.

I'll try a hat trick, three at once.

Gears of War 1,2 & 3:
You play an exterminator who moves from one chest high wall to another chest high wall while occasionally hiding behind a chest high wall in a world of black, brown, and gray. Every now and again you shoot at stuff that gets between you and your love of chest high walls.

During the cut scenes you push your eyebrows together more forcefully than the last while grunting at the people around you who are more or less the same cardboard cut out that you are. Did I mention most of humanity is dead so these people are pretty much it? Yeah. Some of them eventually die, but at least you still have your chest high walls. That's all that really matters.

So, yeah, basically all you is run around shooting things, or granading them. So you press 3 buttons for aa couple of hours. That's about it.

Doom: It's an FPS where you can't jump or crouch or aim up or down. No sniper rifles, no grenades. No story development, characters or voice acting.

Any Legend of Zelda games-
You on some quest to save the princess or something. However before you can save her, you have to go through several dungeons and picking up some gadgets to use or something like that. Ther are alot of side quest which involve collecting a butch of stuff.

Xenoblade Chronicles-
You do ALOT of exploring by walking or running but it will take hours to do so. Sure the combat isn't turn based but you still got to choose your attack and position your character correctly to utalise the attacks. Oh there a bunch of fetch quests, have fun with that.

ArmA 2: You attempt to pick off tiny, tiny specks at the horizon through your ironsight. Then, you are shot by a sniper. Or shoot a civilian tiny speck standing nearby and get your arse court-martial'd before the gunbarrel has cooled.


Dwarf Fortress: You manage a group of small, bearded alcoholics prone to depression and attempt to keep them alive through the winter. They will, sooner or later, snap and go on a killing spree. You have already failed.


Eve Online: You fly around in space, not discovering very much but rocks. If you try to roleplay, everyone have carte blanche to destroy your ship and kill you. Even if you don't, they will destroy your ship and kill you. Or hold you up, steal your cargo and then destroy you.


S.T.A.L.K.E.R: You run around in the Zone, getting shot at by criminals and slowly developing cancer. Or wander into a local negative space-time wedgie and get dissolved into molecyles.
If you succeed in spite of this, the macguffin will still defeat you.
