So, after playing Crackdown and Prototype again today, I was wondering what other games allowed you to have godly amounts of power compared to everyone else. Then I figured a good place to ask the question, my friends at Bay12Games!

So, yeah, does anyone know any games that allow you to have godly (well, demigodly / superheroly) amounts of power? eg. reshaping the world, being able to squash hordes of basic enemies with a big swing of your phallic equivalent etc.

Examples: Black and White, Prototype, inFamous (I'd guess, never played it), Crackdown, Master of Magic (World wide spells are all the rage) etc.

So, anyone?

I really don't recommend inFamous. I don't know about the good route, but I went evil and it was pretty terrible. Samey combat from the beginning to the end, VERY annoying story, characters, instead of being evil you just growl alot. Every other character pushes you around, demanding you do everything when you are supposed to be evil! Why would I be saving characters I want to kill when I am evil?! Steve or whatever the name of the guy you played was constantly a pansy.

Also, I called the end twist, I really did. Right from the first intro. As soon as I saw it, I knew that

The main villain, and the voice you hear at the beginning of the game was you from the future.

Uhh, yeah, don't know what to recommend, but I don't recommend inFamous.

Which is why they should make Sly 4.

I guess Fable could fit in. No 'godly' powers, but plenty of the 'superheroly' kind. Slowing time to a crawl while beating the crap out of everything is really fun. Good game IMO.

Meh, now I feel like reinstalling the game just to spend a few hours beating people.

If MoM counts, then the Dominions series definately. World altering spells, raising hordes of the undead, raining fire on enemy armies, etc..

Also, I think Magic Carpet 1 and 2 allowed you to do some epic spells. Raising your base fortress from the ground, altering the terrain and even making volcanoes.

Dominions 3 is in the same vein as Master of Magic.  Depending on what kind of god you make you can tear good-sized armies apart if you know what your'e doing, and even if you don't pick a combat god there are still summons and the like for really powerful units.  Plus there are spells that can ruin the world, Utterdark, Second Sun, Foul Air, Astral Corruption, and the like.

Buh, beaten.

Played it, I'm not really sure if it fits. It's just too not trying to make you godly. Godly one versus one would be you against a cosmic horror that could devour the world.

Instead of Fable 1 and 2's endings, the first of which is a piece of piss and the second of which you USE A MUSIC BOX.

I do love Dominions 3.

I miss Bullfrog.

I never actually played them, but the Populous games fit the bill. I hear them brought up in the same breath as Black and White a lot.

Destroy All Humans

If you count the force as godly, several Star Wars games.

I got both for the Xbox, they're good but some levels are controller snapping.

You may only be slightly more godly than everyone is in reality....but I feel like a god after 5 mins of AC2.
