Forums - Gaming - Apocalypse now- The End of The World

Not saying that relates to anyone in particular...

Note: If you aren't a fan of nuclear warfare, or may find it upsetting, then go down to the next line, such as the one below:

________________________________________________________________________

So, it's March 27th 2024. The end of the 3rd world war. 18:00. The world has been sent into absolute turmoil due to North Korea and South Korea's conflict spreading to the unstable Middle East situation, so America and Europe have had to step in. But it was inevitable. 

The world has been plunged into a deep nuclear war, and today is end day. Mankind will destroy itself today. The inevitable has happened. Doomsday has occured.

On the one piece of remaining contact information you have left in the outside world in your panic shelter, you hear that there's only 1 hour until the end of mankind. Panic ensues, but your partner/parents/friends/goldfish tells you not to panic, to "enjoy" these last moments.

In the murky distance, behind the empty, half-eaten tins of artificial meat and fuel, you find one item that puts a smile on your face. You find that classic gaming console from all those year ago, when this all seems like an unbelievable future.

"How nieve I was", you mutter to yourself, so not to disturb your companions.

To your disbelief, you find it still works, and it still has that game in. So, with your final hour, you spend that time playing this game of yours with those who you hold dear. 

And you couldn't think of anything better you could possibly be doing.

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

A bit extreme? Perhaps. But the message is there. IF you only had 1 game you could play for 1 last hour, your final game (perhaps not as extreme as this!), then what would it be?

Thinking about it, the last game I'd play would be not my favourite game of all time, but it would be Mario Kart Wii. It may not be the best of the series, but out of most of the games which I've played, the sheer thrill of playing it with the family is unbeatable. That's how I'd want my gaming experience to end. Not with the best game of all time, but for the one which would give me the most joy. 

But how about you? Would you choose something completely different? Comment below!

(I hope this is "unique" enough for you Chibi. I've been planning on doing this thread for a long time, but could never get the starting bit right!. Also, I don't want any comments about "why would you play games when you've only got an hour left?" etc. This is a gaming site, after all!)

I'd probably play Homefront so I could compare its ridiculously improbable storyline with yours.

Yeah yeah yeah

Theoretical situation is theoretical. I was just trying to "set the mood" as it were!

Epic thread is epic. I approve ;D i loled at the "Not saying that relates to anyone in particular..." bit haha xD.

I wonder what game i would play....To be honest it would probably be Persona 4! :D (can i assume the versus 13 is going to pwn and say i will play that? since it "should" be out by then xD)



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

As long as I have your approval, that's the most important thing!

Also, it could well be vapourware. Just sayin'...

It's a tricky topic really to get to grips with, having one last game to play...but, well, that's what I aim to do, most of the time...

(I'm glad to see you got the reference )

I'd play Chrono Cross, and just go to the world map in order to behold the magnificent graphism (well, as a PS1 game) alongside that genious music from Yasunori Mitsuda.

Then I could die peacefully.

So true. I loved Chrono Trigger, but had no knowledge of a sequel...

Is it better than the excellent original?

True. I doubt it will, however. Then again, I never expected any of my other threads to get many hits, so, you never know... Just sayin :P

CC is my favorite game of all time, it's a much more mature and deep game than CT, with a brillant score (better than CT, IMO) and fantastic graphx ( it tops FF9).
