THE Game.

All I'm seeing here is "this game's X with that game's Y" (and The Game which I subsequently lost). When the OP said Perfect Game, I thought back to the impossible beast I've been thinking of for years.
This Game is nearly impossible for me to explain politely, so I'll be blunt. The Player is God. Not a Christian god, not a Judaic god, not an Islamic god, just simply an all powerful being with complete control and power. That alone sounds like fun, but I also enjoyed the Sims and RTK8 when I was younger and they left an impression on me. I'd like to have a living, functioning world, where the Player could inhabit one Character at a time and experience the world around them at that time. Have a character grow and age with society around them. Become a driving force in history or merely a pawn to an ambitious NPC.
It would include an effective timeline, where a Deity could go ahead fifty or a hundred years and see the consequences of past actions. Each time the Player wanted to start a new world there would be settings from the type of inhabitants to the magic available, to the landmass and basic geological functions. Or you could just hit random a few times, too. There could be a large Pantheon of Gods and Demigods and such, or a monotheistic reality. Artifacts like flaming swords and such could appear and create legends and history that one could play through.
To make things more difficult, however, are a few nuances. Player can only travel forward in time, not back. Must earn God Mode, by destroying the current deity, or something else similar. Possible side rule of Character Inhabitation, once you "leave" a character, you cannot return.
There are many, many possibilities here. Like cultivating germs in a lab, one could seclude a village with some mutation and have fun with the results. One could have "Bloodline Artifacts", a Sword that will only ignite if held by a descendant of "Bob". May even be reason enough for hereditary rule.
This is the Perfect Game in my head. This is what I think about when I have nothing to think about. I'll never play this game, I doubt it will ever be made. But damn, it looks fun!

Have you heard of the game Black And White?MintyNinja said:
That game makes you a God, its not exactly like what you said but it still makes you God and is quite fun...
awww... dude.. fuck you OP, you made me loose.
Anyway perfect game would be something involving lesbians, killing dudes, total sandbox, but an optional epic linear story, zombies, dragons, Arnold Swarsahdasidja (is that how you spell his name?), moar lesbians, some pretty big fuckin guns, and a ferret. Yeah... that would be awesome

Ya I've heard of it, but my only decent PC had been this laptop for the last year and a half, so I never did try it out.dragon_of_red said:
For a firm place as my favourite game it'd have to be a huge scale rpg.
Character development, huge world(s), massive depth and detail in the environments, seemlingly unlimited items and quests, stories arching all over the place, tons of co-op features and an amazing battle system.
I want a game that i can play with my friends and still be discovering new stuff after years of playing. Have 200 hours of gameplay and still manage to find some enjoyment. Every time we beat some epic final boss an even stronger one lies on the horizon.

THE Game would be about killing anyone who does that annoying as fuck "I just lost the game!" shit.
It would use a special engine to correctly replicate the interactions between objects and the environment, and you'd get bonus points for killing someone just as they start shouting "I LOST THE G-", and you could increase your multiplier being creative and not using one combo over and over. For added fun, play with friends; at the end of the round, whoever was in last just lost the game, so they can earn extra points by avoiding the rest of the players for a special bonus round, gathering more points by screaming "I JUST LOST THE GAME!" without getting killed.

I know it's only rules to announce it, but regardless, an "Oh, you mother" is required.Hubilub said:
On topic, my perfect game would be a sandbox hack-and-slasher with the best damn physics engine you've ever seen, the character design of Sims 3, and have some RPG elements. It would also be a puzzle-platformer. First or third-person perspectives could be chosen.
I said it would be a sandbox. It would be a sandbox through time.
I'm not too sure but i think its a really easy game to run on anything... and is quite old so you coul play it on a year and a half old laptop... i tihnk...MintyNinja said:
I could play it on my computer without a graphics card so you have to think that you could play it on a laptop...
Why ask a question if you're going to answer it yourself?? I mean seriously - I could not agree more with your choice if it came with free cake!!chickenlord said:
The RPG stuff, first person view and details from Oblivion,
The RTS stuff from Age of Empires II,
The Scale of Sins of a Solar Empire (lots of planets to play on),
Some stuff from Evil Genius,
A shiny red button you can push in case you really don't like someone,
The possibility to design and build your own spaceships (inside and outside), weapons, and bases.

I can safely say the OP is the most "damned" person on escapist.

Zombie game
DETAILED GORE
ZOMBIES....THE WALKING HUNGRY ONES
First person.
A lack of guns.
Maybe some co-op thrown in (online or offline)

inFamous meets Half-life meets Tf2 meets Jak and Daxter meets ratchet and clank meets Fallout 1/2.
No idea how it will work, but it would be awesome.

Dammit! You made me lose the game! Was on a 2-day winning streak until I saw the title.
OT: God of War for the Xbox 360 (and if anyone says 'what about Dante's Inferno?' I will kill you!)

Okay so here it is: GTA 4's freeroaming city but with more enterable buildings, the ability to build barricades, firstperson ,SHITLOADS OF ZOMBIES, Being able to drive cars, alot of weapons, Being able to climb buildings but it wouldnt be in 1st person it would switch to 3rd person when climbing, 4 player split screen, Prototypes free-running style (holding down a button you can vault over anything in your path cars,fences ect.), and Left 4 Dead 2's gore! *Heart Attack*
