The Game Oversimplification Thread - Take any game and intentionally make it sound boring

[skiddlez]

Think of a game, its general plot or premise, and dumb it down astronomically (to a point where it even sounds boring). Then, allow others to guess what game you're talking about. I'll start us off with three.

1: You're on Mars and you don't really care for the people there
2: You walk out of a cave and purify some water
3: Florida man has a bad trip

Guess away!

 

[Kiwi Jeff]

2 is Fallout 3?

 

[skiddlez]

2 is Fallout 3?

Got it!

 

[Canned Bread]

These are probably both wrong but whatever.

1 is No Man's Sky
3 is Katamari Damacy

1: You're on Mars and you don't really care for the people there

there's literally only one game that's set on mars, so that's pretty easy

AKA red faction

Wrong.

red faction

Good guess, but wrong.

These are probably both wrong but whatever.

1 is No Man's Sky
3 is Katamari Damacy

Both wrong.

Im guessing that 1 is doom.

 

[skiddlez]

Im guessing that 1 is doom.

I was thinking Doom 3 specifically but I'll give it to you.

edit: Contributing more.

4: A very highly educated man breaks a bunch of fancy shit.
5: A guy with no definite objectives travels with his newly adopted child.
6: A guy videotapes some crazy people.

Anyone reading this right now should add their own to the thread for us to guess.

Is 3 "The Last of Us"?

Nope.

Doom 3 and 4 are set on Mars. I'm positive.

Is 3 Hotline Miami?

You're on a roll!

4 is Half-Life and 5 is God of War 2018

I was thinking HL2 specifically but yeah sure. God of War is wrong.
