One of the campaigns I run in my game is basically Azure Dreams on steroids, and I would kill to have it turned into a video game.

On the whole 51-45-4 thing, what you have to remember is that only 4% of those games chose to force you to play as a woman, meaning according to that statistic gamers are a dozen times less likely to be forced to play as a female character than be forced to play as a male character.

I dunno... MMO's are imfamous for their sexy, borderline pornographic advertisements (often well beyond what you would see for beer and cars), and you are the player.

Crappy MMOs advertise like that.  MMOs that actually have something to offer seem to be fond of overly exciting gameplay videos.  That lets them hide the fact that most of the gameplay is running around, then having two characters stand next to each other and play a series of animations that don't match up

[Neonivek]

yeah Good MMOs are infamous for advertising themselves with misleading videos that look absolutely NOTHING like the game AND scantly clad women.

Ok here is a game I wish existed

Avalon Code

Except GOOD... Well ok the game isn't baaad... But it has probably one of the best premises and idea of a mechanic I have ever seen and WASTES IT!

A game where the world is going to end... period... there is no way to save it. However you are given a book that anything you record within it will survive to the next age. Along with this you have the ability to change creatures, items, and people using the power of the book altering their stats, abilities, personalities, and even how they work so long as they are written into this book.

Sounds great huh? Well forget it, forget the premise is doesn't play into the game. Forget the book powers they only work with presets and even those have very little effect.

What should be a scramble to save as much of the world as possible using its epic powers to change things for the better... is just a boring RPG.

[Scoops Novel]

A espionage game with a focus on not blowing your cover and quick thinking, giving the player minimal information and unusual settings. Ideally persistent, and with the game countering your techniques, win or lose.

Off-topic, what was your best game for reacting to you and keeping you on your toes?

[EnigmaticHat]

Galactic Civs 2 does a good job of keeping you on your toes, especially if you play at an appropriate difficulty level.  The AI can be devious at times.  Left 4 Dead 2 can throw some curveballs too, with the random special spawns and competent enemy AI.

If you mean reacting to you in the sense of learning the player's strategy and reacting to it... I think you'd be better off playing a multiplayer game against real humans.  I can't think of a game off the top of my head that even attempted that.  Galactic Civs 2's AI does react to human strategies but its a pre-programmed thing.

Darkwood with multiplayer. That's all I want.

Try Sid Meiers Covert Action, although It's Aaaaancient now.

Depending on how into 'hacking' you are, both Uplink and Decker fit the profile well. There are a few newer games similar to uplink (and some which are pretty much clones) on steam/various places if that's your kinda thing. NetGains (which you can find a post about on the Other Games forum) seems to be going in that direction (but a lot deeper) too.

As far as actiony-espionage, Splinter Cell: Blacklist is really good actually. I'm unsure of anything which is a good mix (other than possibly covert action).

[Scoops Novel]

The only one i can think of with a focus on the disguise part of spying of the top of my head is spy-party, and that's not quite thorough.

I want to see a kaiju fighting/MOBA game, with appropriately "epic" special effects.
I mean, come on, how could you not want to have Godzilla and King Kong fight each other? Even more so if they're in teams of...whatever. It'd be just too epic to not make.

And would likely be as terrible as half of the kaiju movies but eh, this thread is mostly for the ideal scenarios already.

I remember watching a video of two people playing such a fighting game. I forget who they were or what the game was called but it had kaiju like Godzilla, mecha Godzilla and... uh... a 3 headed golden dragon thingy? City levelling was a part of the game with combatants tossing each other about. Edit: Found it, Game Grumps has two videos. S'called "Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee"

Ooh, and the creeps could be tanks and helicopters and such.

[Scoops Novel]

A properly varied aliens are here game, where you can start the game as anything from Stargate to local kids operating out of the garage or Visgoths who are worryingly sober. The game could go in every direction you have seen a movie with aliens go, and my oh my would those aliens ever have variety.
