Pretty self explanatory. Or you can say your book or movie or comic(if you really want to get nerdy) ideas. And before you say using search this one is different. This is for the good game(or whatever) ideas you had and ended up saying 'f@#$ it'.
(For a drinking game that will f@#$ you up. Every time you see a (,),[, or ], drink a shot of scotch)

EDIT- it's easier to say right now i misspelled alot of stuff. Sorrry

My idea was an open world action rpg like oblivion. Only 3rd person or over the shoulder. You pick which in the begining of the game. The difference is this would have Zombies. It would be a zombie apocalypse action rpg. And you go around the HUGE environment to complete the task of...Well that was the part I said 'F@#$ it' it on. But it would be a huge cell-shaded environment. It wouldn't be a nuclear waisteland. It would be an alternate world. And there would be different terrains. And groups. Like when you went into a town you could join the bandits, Bible-Thumpers(By the way I thought one of the main Antagonists would be named Bible Thumper.[it wouldn't be our christianity by the way but basicly the same thing and they just say Bible]) the guard or whatever group. It would be an alternate world where gun and gun powder never really evolved because it was just as easy to kill the zombies with a club or crossbow. But guns exist. Like early bolt rifles or whatever they're called(im not a gun person) And you could equip something to your left hand and something to your right. The controls for the left and right weapons would be the left and right bumpers and triggers(bumper fast attack trigger powerfull)So say you see a Zombie or some other enemy( I thought it would be Zombies, beasts, zombie beasts, Bandits, religous crazies, regular crazies, and rival faction type enemies[ I didn't work out the faction thing completely either])You have a revolver in your left hand and a hatchet in your right. You hold the left bumper, which would be auto-target if you used a gun, and shoot. But then you see another enemy come from behind. You dodge it. (when you dodge a powerfull attack you get a chance to counter by hitting the trigger of whichever weapon you want or[or both triggers to attack with both hands]) So you dodge a powerfull attack from the other zombie, Hit the right bumper, and cut the zombies head clean off.(Counter attacks would be cool looking but in real time. Like No More Heroes but not slowed down) I also thought therr could be different fighting styles which you set. When you spotted an enemy you would switch to the corresponding stance. Zombie Stance would mae you quicker and be focused on keeping your distance and going for the head and neck. Beast stance would be about aiming low and attacking hard and quick. And 'Us' stance. ( Im reluctant to say human because it's an alternate world) Where you fight like you would against a normal enemy.
It would have alot of lore and backstory and blah blah blah scattered in the world to appease the 4 people in the world who realy give a s@#$ about that stuff. I think it would have some type of mystical fighting and healing element but not 'Magic'. (More like magics discreate cousin)
I've been typing this for way to long. If your not drunk yet I apologize.

ooohkay, I've read that for close to five minutes and I've still not made sense of it.

But looks like you've had a bad dream or something and just wrote it down without having too much thought beyond: Wow, wouldn't it be sooooooo coooooool.

Getting a headache just trying to see what the point of that whole thing would be, besides another dime-a-dozen zombie FPS.

And what is a discreate cousin of magic?

EDIt: If you meant 'discreet', then A: Isn't it still magic, just applied a bit differently from throwing fireballs around? and B:If it is so limited, why have it there in the first place? What stops someone from healing himself/others, but not damaging others? What in-game reason would there be? Oh, and bible-thumping? That would instantly reduce the potential market for the game by at least 60%.

EDIT EDIT: My sarcasm meter is broke today, I just realized this OP is likely a joke. It is, right?

EDITx3: Come to think of it, what was the point of the OP in the first place?

Its early. I'm tired. Why can you not use the big button at least once, then I can try and answer your actually original question, because I really don't know what you're getting at.

This thread would have been a good idea but I just woke up and didn't think it through well. Sorry If I waisted your time but since your on the Escapist at this hour im guessing you dont have much to do.

No problem, how I use my time is entirely up to me. I decided to read the OP, It wasn't your 'fault' in any manner. But what do you mean by 'At this hour?' You do realize there are different time-zones. For me, living in Finland, it's 13.34 as of now for me. Just after midday and only a few hours more until I get out of work. If I use my coffee-breaks to check upon the Escapist, it's entirely my choice :)
