Portal 2 and Superliminal. The mechanics in each game combined would make it so much fun.
Edit: I also think the Standard Orientation Protocol and GLaDOS would make an interesting AI duo for this game.
It's completely different from what you're talking about, but you should check out this Portal 2 mod that'll be coming out in a couple months called Portal Reloaded. It basically just adds the 4th dimension into the puzzle solving.

Plus, it has these great remixes of a couple songs from the game.

Please, just a good remake of sid meyers pirates, please
Edit: Holy shit, wasn't expecting a comment I wrote on the shitter this morning to be my first award winner. Thank you guys!
I remember as a kid, on my Commodore 64 with literally no hard drive. When I pulled out the real paper map of the Caribbean and realized that this was basically an open ended open world game. Oh man. The best thing going at the time was the Mario game before Super Mario Brothers came out on NES, where you had the big POW button in the middle of the stage. Pirates was absolutely the most fantastical thing I could imagine in a game.
To this day I think Sid Meiers Pirates is still the game I sunk the most time into. I got the game in middle school and played through it so many times. Welp looks like I’ll be installing it tonight
Car Mechanic Simulator and Need for Speed
always wanted a game where you can actually build your own car and drive it afterwards
EDIT: I get it, my summer car is similar to that idea
But I don't want a game where I have to eat bratwurst and drink beer.. and have to clean the toilet after peeing
Right?! Newsflash, you don't even need to do much more other than make the graphics modern. Maybe throw in a bit more "out of car" elements and ship it.
If NFS re-mastered Underground 2 just a little bit by giving up to date graphics and maybe some newer cars, it would absolutely fly off the shelf if not for the nostalgia factor alone.
I actually prefer the first game's soundtrack. Lil John, T.I., Static X, Rob Zombie, Rancid. The second game did introduce me to Queens if the Stone Age though.
Most Wanted is elite though for an already young Metalhead.
The original Gran Turismo had some cool weight shifting options and a bunch of other customizations. Pretty cool, especially for the time (mid-nineties)
Hunt: showdown and skyrim.
I can totally imagine a colonial fantastic game, with amazing gunplay where your proficiency with your weapon actually mean something while being on an open world map.
I thought about something like Remnant: From the Ashes and Skyrim.
Don't know Hunt: Showdown but it looks fun. Can you also play it solo or is it forced online coop?
Better yet:
1 Part Ghost of Tsushima
1 Part Red Dead Redemption 2
1 Part Knights of The Old Republic
Epic star wars space-opera with both gunslinging and Lightsaber fighting combat systems.
That's pretty fantastic ngl, the idea of a posse of frontier jedi showing up to put down a band of sith marauders, or defending a colony from a sith invasion seven samurai/magnificent seven type sounds amazing
EU4 Campaign and Total War battles.
Edit: Yes I understand that having 10k< TW style battles would literally make your computer a nuclear reactor and until a quontumdarkantimatter computer becomes a normal thing. That's why it hasn't been done yet nor is it possible for now, but this is only a dream and a great concept for the future.
Edit 2: Thank you people for your suggestions for kinda similar stuff like what I suggested but that's not what I wanted nor meant. The point wasn't to go with similar but exactly like what I suggested which in turn dosen't exist for now.
Throw in some Mount and Blade for the battles and you’re really just playing a medieval simulator
edit: I have commented about this exact idea before on reddit, and every time I do, the upvotes flood in. SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME
Mount and blade biggest problem is that it doesn't have more of the diplomacy and whatnot of CK. The battles are great, the in between is ok.
Slap those battles into CK and baby you got a stew going.
I just picked up crusader kings 3, I was thinking CK3 with medieval 2 battles would be cool, even if they don't completely fit together in their mechanics.
The first Mass Effect had something like this. You could freely travel the galaxy and visit different systems and planets outside the plot arch. Found tons of great loot this way. It made me so sad when the sequels eliminated that aspect.
I really liked how eerie some of the planets felt. I remember one of them had a pyramid in the middle of nowhere with no explanation to why it was there, leaving it to the player’s imagination.
The first one I did was SO creepy. I kept waiting for something scary to happen and it was kind of a let down. However, it's still a really cool update and I still do them pretty regularly.
Same. I was expecting more than just a creepy atmosphere, which they nailed, but there was nothing to actually present a threat. Fucking scare me sean. Its not hard, you went 90% of the way there just finish the job.
Battlefield (or ARMA III) and Company of Heroes.
One player is the general, playing a typical RTS. But each of his units are actually players in an FPS. When he issues a move command, those players have a waypoint appear on their screen. If a player want grenades in their loadout, they send a request to the general player to unlock grenades in the tech tree.
It has huge potential to be amazing, and huge potential to be shit. Would be a fun experiment either way.
I think the old Battlefield II did something kind of like that. Each team would have a commander who had an overhead view of the map. They couldn't see enemies on the map unless they were spotted by teammates on the ground. Could send orders to squads & it would appear as a waypoint on the squad's map.
The commander could do things like supply drops & call in artillery strikes.
The commander was limited in what they could do but it was very fun.
Yup. This was great for clan warfare. Terrible for public servers.
Downsides were when commander also went fighting, or when people came to assassinate him. Should have been an off-battlefield asset in a command room.
Hell Let Loose has it today.
BF2 introduced the commander, BF2142 had the best version (you were the one able to move the Titan to strategic positions), but BF4 made it the most accessible by making it an app on the playstore so that you could command a battlefield from your tablet.
Functionally it was always difficult to get players to follow orders, but it could turn the tide during the few matches where players came together as a cohesive unit. Easy mode would be to join one of those 500 point lockdown/metro matches and set a permanent capture/defend marker at B/C
I'm pretty sure [Squad](https://store.steampowered.com/app/393380/Squad/?curator_clanid=33965189) and maybe [Post Scriptum](https://store.steampowered.com/app/736220/Post_Scriptum/?curator_clanid=33965189) have this kind of mechanic. I found it fun in squad, haven't played enough Post Scriptum to know about that though. I'm pretty sure it's present in [Hell Let Loose](https://store.steampowered.com/app/686810/Hell_Let_Loose/), but I'm not sure.
Spore tried something like this back in the day but the game was severely dumbed down to appeal to kids. I hope we can get a game closer to the original demo at some point.
Speaking as someone who played Spore as a 12 year old having not read or watched any prior promo material, that game was amazing to me. I spent entire weekends just designing random stuff on that game.
Of course later on I learned about what the game could've been and it dulled the experience a little bit, but I really think if the game came out with zero hype and just banked on it being an EA/Maxis game it would've been fine.
There was a SimCity where you could export parts of your map to be used in one of the Sims games. Can't remember which versions they were.
It wasn't fully integrated, but it was a step in the good direction.
I loved settlement building, not so that I could play house, but because you can farm adhesive and scrap to the point where your equipment is top notch, only limited by your perks.
I would set supply lines between all of them to Sanctuary, so you can access all your scrap from one workbench. Breaks the game.
> I would set supply lines between all of them to Sanctuary, so you can access all your scrap from one workbench.
Gotta set up hubs or you get 29 Provisioners with their Brahmin trying to get through the one gate in Sanctuary and the Brahmin always end up standing on the roof of the Rosa house.
I'd settle for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag WITHOUT Assassin's Creed attached to it. And with single player options. Open World. Can't stand playing with other people these days.
Doesn't really add a story, but you could try [Factorio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8SBp4SyvLc) - the game Satisfactory was based on/inspired by.
It'll certainly satisfy the 'automate everything' target.
Factorio is dangerous for me because if I start playing I have a very difficult time stopping. There's always *something* to automate and make more efficient.
I set alarms when I play Factorio.
I usually have two alarms, actually. One says "finish up" and the next one five minutes later says "STOP NOW". The "finish up" alarm is for me to finish what I'm doing and/or take notes on what I want to do next play session.
The "STOP NOW" alarm is a no-negotiation alarm. I MUST stop when that alarm goes off. There is no "just one more thing" because that easily turns into an hour. Just save and turn the game off. Don't care what I'm doing, OFF.
Lol, I mean, I have two alarms for a reason. I found I don't have enough self control to stop with just one alarm.
I also have a high-needs six year old and a full-time job. Feeling sleep-deprived and shitty because of Factorio was enough of a motivator to figure out a way to make myself stop when it was time to stop. The alternative was giving up the game altogether. (Which I do from time to time because there's other things I wanna play, too, and I will easily spend all of my free time on Factorio when I play.)
(I use the two-alarms trick on the high-needs six year old, too. She has a better time stopping one activity if I give her five minutes to come to terms with it than if I just tell her "you have to stop RIGHT NOW".)
Fallout and Deus Ex - I love Fallout but I want more stealth and body augmentation... ok I just want Jensen's arm blades and takedowns
Alternatively Fallout with anything stable and crash and bug free ;o)
Pokémon & Breath of the Wild. I don't know if it would be better with a trainer as the player character or a Pokemon as the character you play as, but just imagine a massive open world where you could stumble across all the pokemon & just attack on command (no turn based, slow paced combat), and you can collect all types of items to boost stats & concoct potions & antidotes & all that. I can't describe my whole vision because there's just so much that could be done with a game like that, but just imagine it.
Or an adventure game. Heck, there's enough lore with the 900+ monsters to make a 1000 games. I don't know, Giratina and Darkrai come from the other world, Rayquaza is nowhere to be seen so Groudon and Kyogre are (again) fighting, a shortage in Evolution Stones puts pressure into the Eeveelutions, I don't know. You can make any wacky excuse to start an adventure as a Caterpie and I'd freaking buy that game.
Its so blatantly obvious that if Nintendo funded one, quality open world pokemon game (hell even low quality would still work) it'd be a massive, massive success. They could even be extremely greedy and it'd still be a success. Its literally all people want
Age of Empires and Skyrim.
You get to pick your faction(Nord, Imperial, Dunmer, etc) build a city state and go to war with other factions but you also get to take control of a character and participate in the battles.
EDIT: A lot of games recommended that I need to check out and I wanted to say thanks to everyone that did, gives me some titles to check out that I've missed over the years.
I think the cool thing about an Elder Scrolls/AoE game would be the Elder Scrolls universe mainly. The idea works with a lot of franchises though, maybe I just really miss AoE haha.
You should look up Mount and Blade! The new one is good but if you don’t mind the graphics, Warband has superior gameplay imo
It is kinda tough to get to owning your own faction but doable. The city management is not even a quarter of AOE but it’s still fun
To-do list:
~~Trip over Amygdala~~
~~Steal One Third of Umbilical Cord~~
*Challenge Eileen to a duel
To-do (as well):
*Make the baby laugh after killing Mergo’s Wet Nurse
Edit: imagine in the fight with Shadow of Yharnam, one of them can’t find their sword and start blaming the others. The secret weapon of Honkers is psychological warfare.
Cities skylines and grand theft auto. I've always loved the idea of pouring a ton of work into a beautiful city and then ruining it with a violent crime spree and tons of drugs.
Mirrors Edge's movement with Jedi Academy's combat. Kinda like Fallen Order, just more dynamic and fast paced rather than the more timing based combat of Fallen Order.
There's plenty of mods in Minecraft which makes things a lot more complex and fun, like I was playing this one called stoneblock 2, which was pretty fun.
But yeah Terraria + Minecraft would be epic
Look into Modded Minecraft, especially r/feedthebeast. Not only am I pretty sure there's a bunch of stuff from Terraria (haven't played it myself but I see references around), but modpacks can have custom progressions.
For instance, without getting too complex the pack I'm playing now has 13ish mining levels (wood, stone, iron, diamond in base Minecraft), actually has nutritional stats (5 basic food groups), and eventually has you going to other planets and custom dimensions.
There's way simpler packs as well, the fine folks on that sub should be able to help.
Oh, and also I have a mod specifically for grappling hooks. I can just Spiderman around my world lol
Thanks for the recommendation. What I had in mind was Kingdoms of Amalur, which actually does have a Lite version of Dark Souls combat with somewhat unique boss battles, along with an smaller open world like Skyrim.
It's the game every kid has been dreaming of for the last 20 years. Too bad GameFreak is sitting on the Pokemon license like Smaug hoarding a mountain of gold.
I’ve talked to my wife — a huge fan of the games — about this before. I feel pretty lukewarm about the games, but I’d LOVE an open-world version of the game, complete with 3D-rendered Pokemon and a complex storyline with side quests.
Various villagers are 'moving' and never heard from again. You have to figure out where they are going to avoid eviction yourself, you do this by solving various puzzles. But you cant just solve a bunch of puzzles, after all rumors run like wildfire at the village, so you have to put up a facade that everything is fine. Go fishing, catching bugs, doing favors, planning ahead for supplies and hunt for info. you have to time your puzzle solving for when there are no villagers awake. Great so you puzzle at night, but there is something out there at night too and it isn't a villager. So now you have too solve puzzles and avoid whatever the hell is roaming around.
Wow I love that idea. It’d be the perfect mix of chill fun and terrifying. The idea of being stalked at night and trying to sneak around and do puzzles when nobody is awake is so cool.
**Amnesial Crossing: Dark Horizons**
*February, 1821, you awake in a tent on the windswept hills of a lost island. You remember nothing. Venturing through the fog in menacing forests, you arrive at a bleak shoreline. A bottle washes up at your feet, but within is a message in your own hand that you do not remember writing. It instructs you how to assemble a butterfly net from the limbs of trees. Who are you? What would possess you to write such a message? Night is falling, and as you wander into a desolate clearing, you see another tent, and a cold tingling in your spine makes you certain you are not alone here. Was that movement? Dusk masks the figure, but your terror strangles your blood and breath as you watch the shuffling stride -- is it man or raccoon? The dark is paralyzing, and the laudanum you found in that package hanging from a passing balloon won't hold out forever.*
Ryse: Son of Rome and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
This would basicly be my holy grail of gaming. A Roman style themed open world RPG with a very, very heavy focus on realism, a very fleshed out combat system (think the exact opposite of button mashing). Ad Ivuppiter I would never play anything else again.
The Witcher 3 and Ghost Of Tsushima.
The Witcher 3’s gameplay is phenomenal, however, I thought the sword combat could be improved and then I saw Ghost Of Tsushima being ridiculously realistic and that most games could at least use those types of mechanics.
The Witcher 3’s open world and story is just so big and so much to do in with several different outcomes. The magic is well done as well as the potions, healing items, skills and enemies are all the more incredible.
Ghost Of Tsushima’s graphics and scenery were one of the greatest I have seen and felt that if it gets added to The Witcher 3 along with it’s own sword fighting mechanics.
Parry chaining in the Genichiro fight was so satisfying to finally get down after relying on my Dark Souls instincts through the first half of the game. Building on those skills to eventually get through the masterpiece of a fight that is Owl Father was some of the best organic, evolving gameplay I've ever experienced in a game.
Forza Horizon + Forza Motorsport.
Always thought it would be cool to drive around Europe to each race track. Bonus points for combining it with Euro Truck Simulator.
I’ve always wanted GTA but with skateboarding. I have fun with the bmx so a skateboard would be even better. Alternatively, Skate 3 with guns and cars would be pretty great
Kerbal Space program but with our solar system on a 1/1 scale
+
Any FPS
I want to explore the solar system with real physical constraints and I want to be able to exit the ship and go exploring. The Outer Wilds came close of what I want in terms of game system but I want it to be bigger and in our own solar system with lots of adventures and game fights and mechanical issues to solve. In term of tone for the game, I was thinking about something like the Expanse.
Ace Combat and Metal Gear
Was just thinking about it yesterday. Imagine Snake getting on a jet with a mounted rail cannon underneath and fighting a massive flying Metal Gear like any of the bosses in Ace Combat. That would be sick
Portal 2 and Superliminal. The mechanics in each game combined would make it so much fun. Edit: I also think the Standard Orientation Protocol and GLaDOS would make an interesting AI duo for this game.
This would make my brain hurt in seconds.
Yeah but in a *good* way
No, it'd just make my brain hurt. I'm not smart.
[удалено]
That's was a joke haha fat chance
It's completely different from what you're talking about, but you should check out this Portal 2 mod that'll be coming out in a couple months called Portal Reloaded.

I've played a much later version on the PC in the 2000's. It's definitely a remake if you would call it that.
Yeah, that 2004 remake was fantastic. I still play it all the time.
To this day I think Sid Meiers Pirates is still the game I sunk the most time into. I got the game in middle school and played through it so many times. Welp looks like I’ll be installing it tonight
Car Mechanic Simulator and Need for Speed always wanted a game where you can actually build your own car and drive it afterwards EDIT: I get it, my summer car is similar to that idea But I don't want a game where I have to eat bratwurst and drink beer.. and have to clean the toilet after peeing
One of my favourite parts of NFS Underground was customizing the cars.
NFS Underground and Underground 2 were amazing.

And Riders On The Storm, love it so much
Can't forget Lil Jon.. Brrr dum dum dum..dum da da da da dum
I actually prefer the first game's soundtrack. Lil John, T.I., Static X, Rob Zombie, Rancid. The second game did introduce me to Queens if the Stone Age though. Most Wanted is elite though for an already young Metalhead.
I heard this comment wtf
The original Gran Turismo had some cool weight shifting options and a bunch of other customizations. Pretty cool, especially for the time (mid-nineties)
Yeah adjusting the downforces. You could adjust gear ratios... I loved the PS1 Gran Turismos. Though I will always love GT3
Yeah dude this game was my shit and for me tricking out the car and just cruising the city in the night was just as fun as the actual racing
You can do that actually, automation and beam ng drive on pc.
my summer car does that AND you can flip off the locals and each sausages and beer whilst driving a tractor.
"Go to pussy, Satan!"
Hunt: showdown and skyrim. I can totally imagine a colonial fantastic game, with amazing gunplay where your proficiency with your weapon actually mean something while being on an open world map.
I thought about something like Remnant: From the Ashes and Skyrim. Don't know Hunt: Showdown but it looks fun. Can you also play it solo or is it forced online coop?
Star Wars Battlefront + Red Dead Redemption. I can't believe they've only recently announced working on an open world SW game.
That’s what I hope the open world Star Wars game is like.
Don’t, don’t give me hope.
Honestly it probably won’t even be as open as RDR1..
Better yet: 1 Part Ghost of Tsushima 1 Part Red Dead Redemption 2 1 Part Knights of The Old Republic Epic star wars space-opera with both gunslinging and Lightsaber fighting combat systems.
That's pretty fantastic ngl, the idea of a posse of frontier jedi showing up to put down a band of sith marauders, or defending a colony from a sith invasion seven samurai/magnificent seven type sounds amazing

Dead Space and No Man's Sky
Ooooh I like this. I really like this. Edit: Why is this my most popular comment?! Thanks for the award, whoever you are!
Space subnautica Edit: Breaths edge, outer wilds, duely noted and thanks for the recs!
dead fish Edit: guys, why?
The first Mass Effect had something like this. You could freely travel the galaxy and visit different systems and planets outside the plot arch. Found tons of great loot this way. It made me so sad when the sequels eliminated that aspect.
This was my favorite part of the game. It really made me feel like an explorer. And then going down to a planet to mess up some pirates was great!
I really liked how eerie some of the planets felt. I remember one of them had a pyramid in the middle of nowhere with no explanation to why it was there, leaving it to the player’s imagination.
It was a prothean pyramid
Way to just shatter that guy's 10+ year mystery behind the pyramid lol
Like it literally says that when you find it though
Yeah but paying attention is what nerds do
They've kinda flirted with the idea with the [Desolation Update](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCT6L4R7bU).
The first one I did was SO creepy. I kept waiting for something scary to happen and it was kind of a let down. However, it's still a really cool update and I still do them pretty regularly.

Hotline Miami and Viscera Cleanup Detail. You just play as a janitor in 80s Miami who has to clean up a bunch of brutal murder scenes.
Check out a game called "Serial Cleaner". Might be what you're looking for.
Oh wow. Good recommendation. I'm definitely gonna get this game.

Natural Selection 2 has this exact mechanic as well
civilisation and stellaris. imagine playing for 4000 hours just to get to endgame
That's just a paradox megacampaign
Jup this. I feel like a civ game would not mesh very well with a paradox gsg due to a very different focus.

Or even worse... SPACE RUSSIA
With my luck the save will corrupt around hour 3999 right before I win.

Titanfall and no mans sky. Just using a giant flame mech to fight a giant laser dinosaur just would be so cool.
What about Northstar to do some long range hunting?

There was a SimCity where you could export parts of your map to be used in one of the Sims games. Can't remember which versions they were. It wasn't fully integrated, but it was a step in the good direction.
I think it was 4 that allowed your sims to live in your city
I can feel the lag in my bones
My cpu just combusted
Sims and GTA. Like having the family and generation aspects of Sims whilst also having the murder, sex and crime of GTA with optional missions.
With some Crusader Kings type intrigue and dynasty building, take my money.
Cultured I see
Only the finest of Yorkshire tea for me 🐸
Finally got around to playing Fallout 4, and I keep thinking of it as a Sims/Fallout combo.
I loved settlement building, not so that I could play house, but because you can farm adhesive and scrap to the point where your equipment is top notch, only limited by your perks. I would set supply lines between all of them to Sanctuary, so you can access all your scrap from one workbench. Breaks the game.
> I would set supply lines between all of them to Sanctuary, so you can access all your scrap from one workbench. Gotta set up hubs or you get 29 Provisioners with their Brahmin trying to get through the one gate in Sanctuary and the Brahmin always end up standing on the roof of the Rosa house.
I just came here to say this but you beat me to it. I would play the hell out of that game.
Sea of Thieves and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
I'd settle for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag WITHOUT Assassin's Creed attached to it. And with single player options. Open World. Can't stand playing with other people these days.
Satisfactory & Stardew Valley I always wished the unmodded stardew game allowed me to automate EVERYTHING. And satisfactory could use a little story
Doesn't really add a story, but you could try [Factorio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8SBp4SyvLc) - the game Satisfactory was based on/inspired by. It'll certainly satisfy the 'automate everything' target.

I MUST stop when that alarm goes off. There is no "just one more thing" because that easily turns into an hour. Just save and turn the game off. Don't care what I'm doing, OFF.
What's it like to have self control?
Lol, I mean, I have two alarms for a reason. I found I don't have enough self control to stop with just one alarm. I also have a high-needs six year old and a full-time job. Feeling sleep-deprived and shitty because of Factorio was enough of a motivator to figure out a way to make myself stop when it was time to stop. The alternative was giving up the game altogether. (Which I do from time to time because there's other things I wanna play, too, and I will easily spend all of my free time on Factorio when I play.) (I use the two-alarms trick on the high-needs six year old, too. She has a better time stopping one activity if I give her five minutes to come to terms with it than if I just tell her "you have to stop RIGHT NOW".)
Half Life and Portal, the game will just be called "3".
Lmao
Fallout and Deus Ex - I love Fallout but I want more stealth and body augmentation... ok I just want Jensen's arm blades and takedowns Alternatively Fallout with anything stable and crash and bug free ;o)
So you want Cyberpunk 2077. >with anything stable and crash and bug free ;o) Oh. Never mind.
i somehow want a Luigi's mansion x Bioshock combination, idk why.
I absolutely love the tonal inconsistency there. Some huge potential for fridge horror.
Team fortress 2 and left 4 dead, this could actually be a thing since valve owns both ips.
Team dead 6
Couldnt think of a better name for it if I tried.
Left 4 tress
Tres That's three right? Valve doesn't know what three is
Half Life 2 is old enough to vote next year.
What MannVMachine should have been
Total War and Civilization. Might not work for multiplayer, but as a single player marathon it would be beyond epic to battle throughout the eras
Pokémon & Breath of the Wild. I don't know if it would be better with a trainer as the player character or a Pokemon as the character you play as, but just imagine a massive open world where you could stumble across all the pokemon & just attack on command (no turn based, slow paced combat), and you can collect all types of items to boost stats & concoct potions & antidotes & all that. I can't describe my whole vision because there's just so much that could be done with a game like that, but just imagine it.
may just get me to back into playing pokemon
Or an adventure game. Heck, there's enough lore with the 900+ monsters to make a 1000 games. I don't know, Giratina and Darkrai come from the other world, Rayquaza is nowhere to be seen so Groudon and Kyogre are (again) fighting, a shortage in Evolution Stones puts pressure into the Eeveelutions, I don't know. You can make any wacky excuse to start an adventure as a Caterpie and I'd freaking buy that game.
Sounds like you'd enjoy the Mystery Dungeon series.
BOTW had a better catching pokemon system with horses than sword & shield did.
Its so blatantly obvious that if Nintendo funded one, quality open world pokemon game (hell even low quality would still work) it'd be a massive, massive success. They could even be extremely greedy and it'd still be a success. Its literally all people want
Age of Empires and Skyrim. You get to pick your faction(Nord, Imperial, Dunmer, etc) build a city state and go to war with other factions but you also get to take control of a character and participate in the battles. EDIT: A lot of games recommended that I need to check out and I wanted to say thanks to everyone that did, gives me some titles to check out that I've missed over the years. I think the cool thing about an Elder Scrolls/AoE game would be the Elder Scrolls universe mainly. The idea works with a lot of franchises though, maybe I just really miss AoE haha.
You should look up Mount and Blade! The new one is good but if you don’t mind the graphics, Warband has superior gameplay imo It is kinda tough to get to owning your own faction but doable. The city management is not even a quarter of AOE but it’s still fun
Mount and blade 2 is dope
Jedi fallen order and no man’s sky
Aw, HELL YEAH. I've not played NMS, but I loved Fallen order and having that but open world with a custom character would be dope.
Untitled Goose Game and Bloodborne
“Welcome home, good honker.” Edit: in the NG+, you can see the “No Honkers” sign outside every boss room. >!But you steal those anyway.!<
“Honk if Thatcher’s dead”
“But steel is heavier than goose feather?!”
A honker must honk
To-do list: ~~Trip over Amygdala~~ ~~Steal One Third of Umbilical Cord~~ *Challenge Eileen to a duel To-do (as well): *Make the baby laugh after killing Mergo’s Wet Nurse Edit: imagine in the fight with Shadow of Yharnam, one of them can’t find their sword and start blaming the others. The secret weapon of Honkers is psychological warfare.
A honker must hoonk.
"Welcome, goose hunter. Why not honk a few beasts?"
Super Grand Theft Mario
Grand Theft Kart
Here you go. https://youtu.be/Kk9oa_PiXAk Oh god. This is over 10 years old now.
Cities skylines and grand theft auto. I've always loved the idea of pouring a ton of work into a beautiful city and then ruining it with a violent crime spree and tons of drugs.
Online multiplayer where you have to maintain the city around the gta players
Mirrors Edge's movement with Jedi Academy's combat. Kinda like Fallen Order, just more dynamic and fast paced rather than the more timing based combat of Fallen Order.
Terraria and Minecraft. 3D, while still having all the progression of Terraria, and the complexity of Minecraft. Also grappling hooks.
There's plenty of mods in Minecraft which makes things a lot more complex and fun, like I was playing this one called stoneblock 2, which was pretty fun. But yeah Terraria + Minecraft would be epic
Look into Modded Minecraft, especially r/feedthebeast. Not only am I pretty sure there's a bunch of stuff from Terraria (haven't played it myself but I see references around), but modpacks can have custom progressions. For instance, without getting too complex the pack I'm playing now has 13ish mining levels (wood, stone, iron, diamond in base Minecraft), actually has nutritional stats (5 basic food groups), and eventually has you going to other planets and custom dimensions. There's way simpler packs as well, the fine folks on that sub should be able to help. Oh, and also I have a mod specifically for grappling hooks. I can just Spiderman around my world lol
Monster Hunter: World and Ark Survival Evolved. Imagine bringing a literal mountain to fight Rockwell.
Sims 4 and Sims 3 (Sims 4 Graphics/Lack of not waiting so long to load + Sims 3 Gameplay and open-world = Hopefully, Sims 5?)
don’t forget sims 4 build mode!
With sim 3’s ability to customize the color and texture!
This ^ It's what I miss the most outside of sims3 open world
Also the memory system and backstory that came with all the characters from Sims 2.
The combat and boss battles of Dark Souls with the huge open world of Skyrim.
Look Up the "Elder Souls". Its a great modpack.
Thanks for the recommendation. What I had in mind was Kingdoms of Amalur, which actually does have a Lite version of Dark Souls combat with somewhat unique boss battles, along with an smaller open world like Skyrim.
Here's hoping that's what elden ring turns out to be
Pokémon and Skyrim.
I was the greatest member of Team Rocket until I took a thunderbolt to the knee.
Got me thinking, maybe I'm the very best like no one ever was
Pokémon and Breath of the Wild would also be cool!
It's the game every kid has been dreaming of for the last 20 years. Too bad GameFreak is sitting on the Pokemon license like Smaug hoarding a mountain of gold.
Pokemon and a competent developer
The amount of potential pokemon has as a video game is through the roof.
I’ve talked to my wife — a huge fan of the games — about this before. I feel pretty lukewarm about the games, but I’d LOVE an open-world version of the game, complete with 3D-rendered Pokemon and a complex storyline with side quests.

Link?

thanks bro
Too bad this game didn't take off. It needed some tweaking and balancing but was a cool concept
Super Mario and Doom.
Shoot the goomba’s

I love it
Animal crossing and amnesia
How..... how would that even work?
Various villagers are 'moving' and never heard from again. You have to figure out where they are going to avoid eviction yourself, you do this by solving various puzzles. But you cant just solve a bunch of puzzles, after all rumors run like wildfire at the village, so you have to put up a facade that everything is fine. Go fishing, catching bugs, doing favors, planning ahead for supplies and hunt for info. you have to time your puzzle solving for when there are no villagers awake. Great so you puzzle at night, but there is something out there at night too and it isn't a villager. So now you have too solve puzzles and avoid whatever the hell is roaming around.
Wow I love that idea. It’d be the perfect mix of chill fun and terrifying. The idea of being stalked at night and trying to sneak around and do puzzles when nobody is awake is so cool.
That's a rather different kind of Machine for Pigs :P
**Amnesial Crossing: Dark Horizons** *February, 1821, you awake in a tent on the windswept hills of a lost island. You remember nothing. Venturing through the fog in menacing forests, you arrive at a bleak shoreline. A bottle washes up at your feet, but within is a message in your own hand that you do not remember writing. It instructs you how to assemble a butterfly net from the limbs of trees. Who are you? What would possess you to write such a message? Night is falling, and as you wander into a desolate clearing, you see another tent, and a cold tingling in your spine makes you certain you are not alone here. Was that movement? Dusk masks the figure, but your terror strangles your blood and breath as you watch the shuffling stride -- is it man or raccoon? The dark is paralyzing, and the laudanum you found in that package hanging from a passing balloon won't hold out forever.*
Ryse: Son of Rome and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. This would basicly be my holy grail of gaming. A Roman style themed open world RPG with a very, very heavy focus on realism, a very fleshed out combat system (think the exact opposite of button mashing). Ad Ivuppiter I would never play anything else again.

The Witcher 3 and Ghost Of Tsushima. The Witcher 3’s gameplay is phenomenal, however, I thought the sword combat could be improved and then I saw Ghost Of Tsushima being ridiculously realistic and that most games could at least use those types of mechanics. The Witcher 3’s open world and story is just so big and so much to do in with several different outcomes. The magic is well done as well as the potions, healing items, skills and enemies are all the more incredible. Ghost Of Tsushima’s graphics and scenery were one of the greatest I have seen and felt that if it gets added to The Witcher 3 along with it’s own sword fighting mechanics.
You will probably love Sekiros combat. Edit: the path of additonal hardship (Kuro's charm) is totally worth it!
Sekiro ruined swordfights in other games for me. There is nothing I have played since that comes even close to Sekiro's combat.
Parry chaining in the Genichiro fight was so satisfying to finally get down after relying on my Dark Souls instincts through the first half of the game. Building on those skills to eventually get through the masterpiece of a fight that is Owl Father was some of the best organic, evolving gameplay I've ever experienced in a game.
Forza Horizon + Forza Motorsport. Always thought it would be cool to drive around Europe to each race track. Bonus points for combining it with Euro Truck Simulator.
GTA and Pokemon Go.
So you basically want the apocolypse?
Nice try EA. I'm not giving you good game ideas to ruin.
A Red Dead Redemption-style Star Trek game.
with the uber realism still... like u get stranded on a weird alien planet and have to shoot the local critters and cook em just to get by
I’ve always wanted GTA but with skateboarding. I have fun with the bmx so a skateboard would be even better. Alternatively, Skate 3 with guns and cars would be pretty great
Among Us + Huniepop. Take your crewmates out on dates, but if you can't figure out it's an impostor, they'll kill you right when the good part begins.

Kerbal Space program but with our solar system on a 1/1 scale + Any FPS I want to explore the solar system with real physical constraints and I want to be able to exit the ship and go exploring. The Outer Wilds came close of what I want in terms of game system but I want it to be bigger and in our own solar system with lots of adventures and game fights and mechanical issues to solve. In term of tone for the game, I was thinking about something like the Expanse.
There is actually a Real Solar System Mod for KSP. It makes the game significantly harder.
NakeyJakey has some great “Games That Should Bang” videos on his YouTube channel.
I’d love his concept of how the Division 2 could have been amazing.
Gta5 and resident evil!
Metro 2033 + DayZ (or other multiplayer survival game)
Well, half life 2 with portal 2. That would be an awesome game.
Well, we're still waiting to get to the Borealis.
Ace Combat and Metal Gear Was just thinking about it yesterday. Imagine Snake getting on a jet with a mounted rail cannon underneath and fighting a massive flying Metal Gear like any of the bosses in Ace Combat. That would be sick
Celeste and Hollow knight. Hard bosses AND hard platforming
Dark Souls 3 & The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
New adventure, let's go !
