SS13 is hardly a game anymore with al lthat serious roleplaying..
And calling the changeling anything like "The Thing" is a lie.

SS13 is hardly a game anymore with all that serious roleplaying...

There's a wide variety of servers with very different levels of role-play requirements. Did you only play on Baystation 12 or something?

And calling the changeling anything like "The Thing" is a lie.

Would you mind explaining why that is?

I want there to be an MMORPG where you make your character, and also a bunch of Contacts (allies, rivals, archnemesis), and then your contacts and other player will join you in turn based strategy battles against NPCs, your enemy contacts, or other players, while your contacts may assign quests to other players altogether. Your archnemesis might assign a quest to a player to take you down, and both will team up to destroy you on the field of battle, or your ally might assign a quest to a bunch of players to fight your archnemesis, while you're completely uninvolved. The rivals might fight you, but team up with you to destroy a larger foe
and if you don't want to make any contacts, then the game will create some as you play. Every quest giving NPC should be a player-made contact


Optional because it's impossible with current technology but it would also be really cool if the smartest-AI ever went and let you completely describe your character's appearance, biography, backstory, and personality, and then created suitable graphics, dialogue, and in-game abilities for them but that's not going to happen for a bajillion years

You CANT decapicitate and crawl away on your head.

That is in The Thing too...

In gibbed anyways.

The real challenge would be one of the survivors.

[Fniff]

Perhaps both would be the best?

An MMO with aboveground terrain, networks of caves, and crazy dungeons scattered around. Procedurally generated. No instances, only one huge game world.

So you can enter a dungeon and tell when another player has been there from the debris. But because it's a living world the dungeon has probably repopulated with monsters - maybe different ones than were there before - and they've probably changed the dungeon! Orcs build crappy wooden structures, goblins build traps, spiders create huge webs, animals scatter bones and twigs everywhere and leave droppings. Heck, everybody leaves droppings.

No loading screens.

Basically I want Minecraft to generate better things :/ and allow for thousands of concurrent players.

I know there are mods out there. Guess I should really dig around and find some good ones. I just keep seeing mods that add forest animals but they're super duper common and it's like they're all gathering to help Snow White, or mods that add some new manufacturing but you just jump through obscene hoops and the end reward is super-powered equipment.

I'd rather see a mod that adds wind, conserves water, and creates ripples and river currents. I'd get more out of that than some nanofiber armor.

The combination of these two ideas is something I would make if I could make games and knew code.

I wanted a game where the land was barren, but if players would team up and form guilds, or kingdoms or whatever, then they could create a main hall, and would then be able to build more buildings around it, creating a town, so that every town in the game was player made, and you could hire npc's to run things like shops. (since no NPC's would be around at the start, you would build a house, and that would add like half a dozen or so NPC's that could work for the guild.)
And then you could make peace with other guilds, and build roads between the towns, or wage war, probably with the help of some more controllable NPC warriors.

So every aspect of the game, apart from monsters, would be player controlled.
And you'd probably be able to take over monster lairs if you played as an evil character or something.

Minecraft, but with a more realistic physics system.

No more floating blocks, bridges need supports in order to not collapse (and blowing up a support can collapse part the bridge). Wind smulation that makes building block sail ships possible, along with providing some difficulty in building skyscrapers. Proper fluid simulation, proper electrical simulation (building hydroelectric power plants should be possible).

The multiplayer from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but the gameplay and setting of Hitman. There'd have to be some allowances- disguises would have to be complete instead of just 47 in a costume, for one. Imagine how cool the Japan levels from Silent Assassin would be if the snipers weren't aimbots

The real challenge would be one of the survivors.

See it wouldnt though. Early, like the first kill, yeah it would be hard for them. But later? when there charging around with wielders, thermite grenades and ice burners as well as testing everyone slightly suspicious and going on witchhunts at the slightest hint of you being an imitation it would be very hard for The Thing to do its thing.

When the number of survivors is low of course you could just rupture and bumrush them but still, mid game would be fucking awesome.

In my mind atleast...

[Fniff]

I'd like a The Thing game where you could play as one of the researchers or the Thing.

I havn't played The Last of us, so please excuse any inaccuracies.

Spoiler: Last of Us, Speck Ops:The Line, light spoilers for Man on Fire and Hotline Miami (click to show/hide)

There was an article on Cracked about sexism in videogames that used Ellie's crying emotional breakdown after having a very bad day that ended in killing a cannabal rapist as female characters being portraid as "weak". One of the comments was a user called "TheWomprat" saying

"It's sexist because a 14 year old girl who's just been almost raped twice and almost killed dozens of times cries into the arms of the only person in the world she can trust?

I'm curious. Do you expect her to just get up and be ok with that happening or just stay in murder mode forever?"

That's what I want.

A cute, innocent female character that is put through so much shit that she breaks, and the story is about the carnage that happens after then. This has been done a few times with male main characters, NPCs, and secondary characters but apart from Iji this seems to have not been done with a female player character.

I'm talking adorable little girl goes full on Spec Ops:The Line/Man on Fire/Hotline Miami crazy and violent, and the entire story is told from her perspective.

Additional ideas that compliment the above idea, but are not essential to it:
The game could use her perspective in all kinds of interesting ways. If it's first person it could be one of the few times the "water on the lens" effect is useful, with blurred vision from crying.

If it's third person she could slowly get more disheveled throughout the game, to change her appearance in line with her mental state.

If they want they could change some of the visuals so that what the character is seeing (and what the player is seeing) are clearly not what's real. Like in Spec Ops:The Line and the Meet the Pyro video.

One way I'd do that is to have the combat sometimes cut to cute cuddly little creatures being tickled and shooting out rainbows (ala Meet the Pyro) with very brief flashes of the bloody wreckage that reality is.
