What would you do/how screwed would you be if you woke up in the last game you played?
The Last game I played was Splatoon 3. It really depends on a few things, Am I an Inkling/Octoling? Do I speak the language? Where am I? In Splatoon lore all humans died in mass floods, so if I was still human I would probably be studied. Also, if I'm in the middle of the ocean I would be screwed either way. Assuming that I am in a major city or at least near civilization, and I am an Inkling/Octoling, and I speak the language, I would be fine. As for what I would do, I would sign up to work at Grizco, and once I have enough money buy a gun and participate in turf wars to gain money, eventually buying an appartment.
Pokemon Go. I would be running from Pokemon I guess. Not too bad as for now I do have some resources, and the map is pretty good so everything would be where it is now.
Would I be the Warrior of Light or some random scrub? Random scrub that world has godlike beings that just absolutely dominate your will just by existing, plus just massive monsters, and some terrifying organizations.
WoL, hooboy all the moments the story made me be quiet.
Another question is do I go as myself, or can I be a catgirl?
Happily married, with a brand new baby, living in a large house, on a well established farm, with financial security and steady income, plus a small fortune in extremely valuable wine aging in the basement, near a friendly town with lots of festivities, where no matter how badly I screw up someone will find me and bail me out so that I can get home or see a doctor.
Space Engineers scrapyard scenario. So... Satreus has oxygen, so as long as I can scavenge a power source to power my suit recyclers, there's not a lot that'll be a problem. Wander around collecting stuff. Make a comfy habitat.
I'd just start mining random stuff to put together to make better mining gear to mine better and more stuff.
Then just get on my dinghy and explore the 'verse while looking out for a better dinghy. Maybe plop down a few bases on nice planets, rinse and repeat.
Team Fortress Two. If I'm anywhere near the game's main locations, I'm dead. If I'm not... it's basically Earth. If I could get my hands on a medi-gun I'd be set.
TOTK.
If I was a random villager I'd probably be OK.
If I was Link I'd die to the first red Bokoblin I encountered.
If I was Ganondorf I'd be twiddling my thumbs waiting as Link got sidetracked by side questing and "hey I bet there's something cool at the top of this cliff".
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires; it would really depend on if I were an officer or not, and then if I had a name or not. Best case scenario I worm my way into an out of the way post in the Wei clan and hold one mantra in mind: "Do not pursue Lu Bu".
Pokemon Emerald? So long as I'm not the protag, life is generally OK. Aside from Team Aqua/Magma and the whole "causing disasters to expand the sea/land", I should be OK.
Pokémon Sun. Basically Hawaii with better healthcare. I'll probably survive.
I'll be homesick for the extreme four season climate I'm used to before too long, though. I just got back from a trip to Hawaii, and even just a week of it was bordering on too long.
At any rate, happy to answer this question today rather than two weeks earlier. I'd be better off in Alola than trying to survive alone shipwrecked on Nauvis.
City of Heroes (20 year old game). As an NPC, I would be screwed, as a player character, it would be pretty sweet at for the first few days before the lack meaningful interactions and the constant "work" started to get to me.
Last game I played was.. I forgor, but let's just say Final Fantasy XII almost a month ago, since that's my best guess.
The lead protagonist is a 17 year old twink with a cheese wedge for hair, and, overall.. not very strong. I can confidently say I'm a little stronger. So, can I survive in Ivalice? Probably.
In fact, I could probably enjoy it. Looming threat of an empire trying to gain control over my home? Big whoop. I'm killing tomato guys. Adjusting may prove a little difficult, though. Distant past, and all.. but, hey. Airships. Magic. Being Captain Basch. What am I losing here? Not much.
..I daresay this is an improvement.
..But let's say I'm transported to Horizon. The other recent play. Spoilers.
Within the context of Horizon, it's literally this universe in the future. This bodes well. However, giant fucking metal animals. Perhaps Aloy could turn me into an adept fighter, I don't know. Still.. giant fucking metal animals. I died a lot in the game, and, therefore, assume that's most universes. Aloy, though, doesn't seem like the type to brand me a curse and burn me at the stake. I live!
I exist as a very, very rare "Old One" who actually lived in the past and isn't a psychopath.. completely.
Being an Old One, I hold knowledge. Lots of knowledge. The Focus existing gives me access to a level of technology that I should have no business messing with. I'm brainrotted and need therapy. Certainly an interesting addition to the world.
I assume I drop within the latest existing point in the universe. So, Londra is dead, thank fuck. Most immediate threat, vanquished. Issue: Nemesis. I don't even know what Nemesis is, but it sounds.. cataclysmic. This is slightly stressful. However, the power of the third game existing, and definitely having an ending where you beat Nemesis, will provide peace of mind going forward into this unknown. That's right, Sylens. Aloy was right to stay. I'm the genius, now.
I could also get down with this. Not as comfortably as FFXII, but possibly more fun. The future is yesterday! A mix of distant past and far future. Interesting.
chess was the last game i played...i think id do fine.
the last real game i played was the newest forza horizon game like 6 months ago...id also do fine lol
Mine is Hearthstone, so my life basically just becomes Yu-Gi-Oh? I have to wander around Azeroth getting challenged by weirdos to increasingly elaborate children's card game battles?
I typically make high legend on ladder though, so I guess I'm okay with this life.
Kerbal Space Program. So everything might be fine, or I might hit a mountain at mach 12, or I might be stuck on Moho forever hoping Matt Lowne joins Lemmy and can send the Blunderbirds to get me.
Ace Attorney (nostalgia). I'm not weird enough to be a witness, the perp, or the wrongfully accused. If I was the victim I'd obviously be screwed. If I was a defence attorney my clients would be screwed. If I was a judge everyone but me would be screwed. Payne seems to make an ok living as a prosecutor although he sucks at it, I could do that. Or I'd just be one of those weirdoes cheering in the gallery, or an unremarkable resident of Japanifornia, which would both be fine.
Vagabond: Create a random Tarot card when a hand is played while you have 4$ or less.
I doubt I would even be bought from the shop most times. Unless I'm the player and not the most applicable joker, then having actual interest on 10$ might be a better life.
I live in the suburbs of Chicago. Not much changes, except the super elite have some insane tech that might as well be magic. Oh, and I guess super powers are real.
Tears of the Kingdom. Not bad at all, as long as I stay in places populated by the more friendly creatures. The worst thing about being stuck there is the choice between living in Tarrey Town, Hateno, or Kakariko. I could live a pretty comfortable life growing swift carrots or fortified pumpkins.
I was playing Rogue Trader so unless I get to take over one of the PCs I'm pretty screwed. The 40k universe is not a friendly place. Even if I take over one of the party characters I'd probably still end up dead in some awful way. My character was a psycher so that's never a good idea if you want to remain demon free.
Assuming the game mechanics are still in place? I'll be fine. Maybe I'll even live a few years on the Great Bear island.
However, if I am in that scenario with real world mechanics? I'm Fucking dead, so hard, so fast. Then again I guess the wildlife would be less aggressive and maybe people would actually be around. Still probably dead, though.
Last game I played was astrodle, more or less an idle/clicker game but there is an end in which you become a god/goddess. Soooo I think I'd do fantastic!
I run for my life as walls and whole rooms shoot out of the ground in random locations.
But run where? There's a perimeter wall in all directions.
Eventually, I get trapped in a hallway. '5' it says on the floor. I can spot a '2' at the other end, before another wall slides up in front of it. The lights turn off.
A few more echos can be heard, before the lights flicker and a speaker drones "Completed!".
The lights turn back on, the walls and the '5' disappear.
A '3' reveals itself underneath my feet, and a '6’ right next to me. A wall shoots up between. What the hell do these numbers mean? And who operates this sick game?
Well I guess I would probably just stand very still, move forward one or two squares... and probably die. I guess if I ever move I might just stand face to face with a black dude until the end of my life.
Ace Combat 7, which has an A-10 that can somehow achieve supersonic speeds and 40 UGBs... really depends on how many ground targets there are compared to air targets, as it's not the most maneuverable.
If I'm a baseline human, I am screwed. If I am a capsuleer - well, I'm actually going to have to learn how to fly a spaceship "for real", but hey, at least I'm immortal.
Do I get the ability to build things instantly like the protagonist of factorio? If I'm suddenly stuck on a planet with super hostile aliens and I have to build automatic weapons and flamethrowers from pure iron ore with my current skills, uhhh, yeah I'm in trouble.
No no no, I'd rather not be a three dimensional human in the world of Paper Mario. Bro turns into airplanes and boats. If they fold me like that, I'm in for a painful and uncharacteristic death in that game.
GTAV online - I would totally end up being screwed with all of the mayhem in the public lobbies. I told my wife I think we'd probably be an unseen NPC homebodies never setting foot outside and ordering from the Pizza place. :)
If it was the GTAV Story mode, I think I'd be much better off and be part of the beach groups as I love the ocean IRL.
assuming im just me and don't have the abilities of runners then pretty screwed as last thing I played was the old genesis version of shadowrun. I have no cyberware or any real skills for the world
Descent, because some asshole playing Asteroids came and blew up the asteroid I was playing in from the outside before I could destroy the power reactor within...
