Title: Let's come up with the most non-cliche game ever.
Post by: Sub Tank on April 23, 2009, 12:25:41 AM
Setting:
Pre-post apocalyptic.  There are no wars, but it's not peaceful.  It is neither the future nor the past.  You're in purgatory.

Go!

Yeah why can't we make the most cliche game ever?

the main character is a hermaphrodite with a chainsaw that shoots flaming wooden babies.

Chainsaw is banned. (MadWorld, Gears of War, RE4 & 5, etc.) XD

How about retractable cleets with which the main character punts exploding soccer balls? XD

the main villain should be a robot that has a human arm.

I don't think there has been a hermaphrodite as a main character yet.  Or a pregnant woman.

You play as a toddler bent on domination, but before you can do that, you must overthrow your father who currently rules the world peacefully. Your only weapon is your teeth, and you use breastmilk for healthpacks. Your only ride is your trusty dog generically named Curtis, however, meet a infantile superstar who the toddler was swooned by, however, your parents catch on to you and you must start from the state of Missisipi, and make your way back to Washington for the final conflict, however, he's not there.

So, make your journey to Area 51 and beat your father there. Bite your way through, cut through the dangers of Missisipi and back and claim your rightful place as world leader.

The protagonist has an ordinary hairstyle and is not a sex magnet.

Random NPCs don't talk to you if they don't know you, nor leave their homes unlocked.

This honestly has to happen sometime. It'd make an amazing RPG mechanic. XD

You work in an office, and you must complete each task before the deadline, or risk getting fired by your boss.

You play as a normal Mettaur and must find a way to reach the next screen.
Title: Re: Let's come up with the most non-cliche game ever.
Post by: Solar on April 23, 2009, 01:31:29 AM
No swords, no guns, no magic, no unrealistic martial arts, no explosions, normal colored and non-spiky hair, no fiction/science fiction elemnts.

That's all I can come up with right now.

This reminds me of that poor kid at my school, one of his legs is just a blue chrome pole and he has to walk on cruches.

You go around killing babies with a flaming crossbow. That's all there is, just killing babies with a flaming crossbow. It would be epic.

Yes. :)

can you not do something like that in Postal? or just something close?

But Postal has other things, not just slamming a fiery arrow through an infant's skull with a crossbow. This game has nothing but that.

Don't worry, I'm just at the bottom of the barrel, this is pretty much the worst I'll be ever in life.

Though admittedly, the other side isn't much better XD Honestly, I don't know WHY I'm so psychotic today <.<

Random idea
You're a subtank, and you have to design the most evil puzzle you can for X and co.

Another similar idea
You're a subtank escaping from hungry/injured reploids. In easy, reploids would be at almost full health so you can survive 3 times, in normal only 2 times, and in hard you're an E-tank being chased by Megaman, so you only have one chance.

No, it goes like this.

You play an entire game in which you're completely in someone's shadow throughout someone's life.  Someone else is always the "chosen one" or "great hero" and all that.  You're just pretty much watching on the sidelines, never having a chance to prove yourself.

The world has been taking over by a mindset of opinion.

You are a hater of opinions, a man born from a womb of a grasshopper that got impregnated by a wolverine, gained racism by a higher government known as the Platypus of Razor Webbers.

Your only weapon, a nail that stabbed a boy's toe nail.

Now go, destroy opinion!!!I should go to sleep

How about a game projected through ultrasounds, so only bats or Daredevil can play it.

No swords, no guns, no magic, no unrealistic martial arts, no explosions, normal colored and non-spiky hair, no fiction/science fiction elemnts.

Final Destination.

I found it! The most unique and non-cliche'd game ever! It did exist after all!

You play an old lady who daily visits the graveyard and passes away at a random time everytime you play.

I got another one:

You play as a ninja who doesn't blend into his territory whatsoever and instead shouts things out to completely demolish the idea of staying hidden.

Oh wait, it's already been done. They called it Naruto or something.

Okay, so what about a game where you are this guy in this badass suit of green armor, and you have to stop these aliens from destroying your home planet with these giant space bombs so you have to go with your little computer companion and try to stop those aliens!

...oh wait...
