What's The Worst Game Universe To Be Stuck In?

[kotorfan04]

Bioshock. I mean

a) Everyone is trying to kill you.
b) They have spliced themselves to superhumanity.
c) Could you fight a Big Daddy? Exactly.

You still have the VitaChambers so you'd come back 5 feet away from where you died.

I was going to say DeadRising because it has an infinite supply of zombies and you will be bitten to hell, meaning that you most likely will experience the joy of zombification, but then Julianking93 pointed out that the VitaChambers would be able to revive you, and that makes BioShock the worst game world by far. It turns into some Sisyphean nightmare where no matter what terrible things you experience (Burning to death, being electrocuted, being sodomized by big daddies drill) you still get to come back and remember that terrible terrible pain, vomit in fear and then die again because a splicer wants your Adam. What a nightmare.

EDIT: I would like to add any games that involve multiplayer to my list, because they all allow you to die multiple times, without sending you back to a saved state, so Johnny ask yourself one question? Did you like the feel of those bullets ripping you in half and then feeling the slow agony of bleeding out, and then having it all combined with seeing your legs before you die? NO? Well too damn bad cause you are going out to fight again, oh and watch out that one guy has a rocket launcher.

"STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! PAY THE FINE OR GO TO JAIL!"
"What? Man, I'm sorry, I was jus-"
"THAT'S WHAT I HOPED YOU'D SAY!"

Better question:

Can you think of a good universe to be trapped in?

How about the Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball universe?

A bunch of hotties with serious baggage all capable of crippling/maiming/killing you with one finger.

Good luck.

I think you may have misunderstood my meaning.

You are describing the Dead or Alive Universe. This is the DoA:Beach Volleyball/Extreme universe, where the girls hang around on an island all day, populated by a lone male.

They play beach sports, hang by the pool, and go shopping every second day for more bikini's, which I might mention, is the only thing they seem to ever wear.

Also, sunburn is non-existent in this universe.

Sounds pretty good to me

Notice the distinct lack of anything more though. Stare, stare, stare and never get anywhere.

Eternal blue balls.

Those people who said Rapture would the worst probably haven't played System Shock 2, which is a similar but nastier scenario, IMHO.

Anywho, having been through the 80s, I have to agree with NicolasMarinus here:

Actually, any old school arcade game. In contemporary games you have a story to navigate through. You at least HAVE a chance at survival. In eighties arcade games, things just went faster and denser until finally, INEVITABLY, you got killed.

Wow. I never thought of that.

I can't think of a worse existance. Being stuck in Space Ivaders where I'm India, the invaders are America and I always lose? No thanks.

 

[GonzoGamer]

If it was longer than 24 hrs I would say the Warhammer 40k universe but I could definitely slip through the cracks for a day.

I couldn't last 24hrs in the Tetris world though. Those blocks would turn me into a pancake.

 

[chaos13]

I would hate to be trapped in prince of persia world where everythings a death trap and you must be a skilled acrobat to get around.

 

[Kirosilence]

1) ET,
2) The Game (By the way you all just lost)

 

[VonGentlemen]

I would go with the I Wanna Be The Guy world.

Although, on the other hand, your time there would probably only last a solid six or seven or so before you explode in a shower of red pixels and possibly a hair-bow.

 

[PTSpyder]

For me, Shadow of the colossus. I would be bored out of my mind, and unless I was the only one transported there, there would be douchebags everywhere telling me how great everything is when really, its just ok...

 

[AizenTheAzure]

The USG Ishimura of Dead Space by far. In Bioshock you can find a gun, or splice yourself, you can shoot lightening out of your hands. In Half Life you can find a gun and shoot zombies/combines and maybe even join the resistance. Even in silent hill the enemies are mostly sluggish and easily dispatched. In Dead Space you have mining tools, probably no power suit unless you are Issac, the necromorph are extremely dangerous and you have almost zero chance of ever being rescued. You are doomed to be gored to death by the most foul abominations in the universe only to ultimately be assimilated/transformed into one of them.

Resident Evil

Problem: I need to go to the bathroom.
Solution: There are no bathrooms here, go away.

Problem: I am hungry.
Solution: I have to find the Rooster Emblem hidden in the evidence locker to turn off the waterfall blocking the hidden doorway that leads to the secret facility containing the Tyrant Type-F that I have to kill with the rocket launcher I found in a Volkswagen Beetle parked outside so that I can pick-up the Pawn Key that unlocks the elevator to Sub Level A where I can find the Fuse that I can use to restore power to the maintenance tram system that will take me to the secondary facility--why the fuck does maintenance get their own tram anyway?--where I need to find the Blue, Yellow, and Red key cards which I'm sure involved those fucking Grey Tablets because why wouldn't it, and doing that of course will unlock the doors that will lead me to the storage facility, where I can get the Dual Golden Lugers that will trip the wall-mounted trap that lets me pass through to the Storage Shed where I can find the pesticide that I can use to kill the vines blocking the bridge across the chasm to Control Room B, where I can use the terminal to move the cameras and locate where the hell they left the Red Chicken Cross which I need obviously to unlock that one door that leads to the room with all those God damn Plaques, I think it's the Green Ivory Rat Plaque I need to unlock--no wait, that's the bathroom, I need the Yellow Tungsten Macaw Plaque to unlock the security blast doors that lead to the boat, where I can start my two hour ride across--GOD DAMN HUNTERS ON THE BOAT!--to the island facility where they keep the Tyrant Type-32Ts which I need to kill a couple of in order to get the Tyrant Blood Sample, which is needed by that one kinda wonky computer system to power up and produce a Tyrant Serum B which for some reason opens a door to the Briefing Room, where I can find God Damn Bats aplenty as well as the Beta Tape D-6 to play in the machine on sub level D of the main island facility after using the God damn heavy Red Valve Handle to lower the ladder that lets me climb to the surface where I can use the Surface Tram to--GOD DAMN LICKERS ON THE TRAM!--go back to the main facility where I can use the Fire Hose to put out a fire that's started in the Conference Room for some reason, which hides a block of C-4 how the fuck, which I can use to blow a hole in the wall to the Computer Terminal room because doors are for pussies, where I can use the Beta Tape to power up the terminal that will let me place an online order to Pizza 73.

Problem: The delivery boy is at the door.
Solution: Solve a random math puzzle to ZOMG STOP THE RUNAWAY TRAIN WHY NOT?!@?!?!

You sir are a fucking legend.

I do believe he just perfectly novelized a resident evil game well done , all he forgot was a "your right hand comes off" joke.

 

[mechanixis]

Call of Duty 4.

Did I just blow your mind why yes I believe I did.

 

[Punk Guy24]

One of those old school games where everything kills you except the ground, and if you're really lucky, maybe some friendly creatures. So basically stuff like Pitfall or Galaga, or Asteroids. Oh or the shitty Evil Dead game they made for the Commodore 64, where moving saps away health, killing enemies saps health, and touching anything saps health, oh and the things that give you health sap some health. Or pretty much any shitty Commodore 64 game.

 

[DanDeFool]

Overlord II

Imagine living out your dull, stupid life in a small, boring, and pointless world, until some dude with a Sauron helmet comes and shits all over it with a bunch of stupid-looking little imps.

Suck.

 

[Stabby McRunfast]

Castlevania!

 

[GrandAm]

I'd say Pong. I'd probably die of boredom.

Good one! That would be the worst based on bordem.

 

[Dr Namgge]

Sonic the Hedgehog. Us normal humans are useless )=

Not only that but the world is repeatedly being torn asunder by powerful gods who we're all trapped until idiotic flying fat man set them free thinking he could control them. if it's not floods, it's masses of lava, or the world being split into large chunks and everyone being turnd into demons every night. Not to mention the sheer number of robots that would be patrolling everywhere, shooting anything that moves. And this happens nigh on constantly almost once a year.

You never thought that out, did you? Nothing says ultimate torment than being killed continuously in an immortal state. Immortals feel pain, y'know.
