That sounds almost exactly what I'd want, except for the permanent death. However, I imagine it'd be a nightmare to program, so I'd settle for just an Assassin's creed style running and TPS/God of War style combat.

I think a game like the one I described would need permadeath. Otherwise you get to be king, get killed, and go back to being king. Could be a bit weird.

Permadeath is never fun, but that is just my opinion.

As anyone here played the Legend of Zelda: twilight princess? if so, is it any good? I just picked up a copy.

If you've played Ocarina of Time, you'll probably find it's nothing new. But it's well worth playing for one reason: Midna. She vreeging rules.

I haven't made it that fair into the game yet, but so far I am rather bored. I remember when spent this much time in Ocarina of Time i was already hooked.

I mean he's the one who does ALL THE WORK and yet every game is named after that good for nothing princess!

Here's an idea for a game: Legend of Link: Zelda Actually Does Something!

I was not a fan of Twilight Princess, and, sorry NC, I hated Midna :P. I never felt attached to any of the drama associated with her, and as a player I found little reason to invest any interest in her or any of the other characters. At least in Ocarina of Time they didn't try to push that sort of story upon you as much as they did.

Twilight Princess is also incredibly easy. The wolf form felt gimmicky, too.

The game isn't terrible, but coming from a franchise with such success, I'd expect much more.

There is a game where Zelda does get off her ass and saves Link. It was created for the Philips CD-I system, in a joint venture between them and Nintendo. Not that the game is any good, that any one really ever played it, or the fact that Nintendo barley acknowledges it, but it is there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelda%27s_Adventure#Zelda.27s_Adventure

but you are right, he does get the shaft, the only times that Link's name is used in the official games is as a secondary title, and even then one of them is a bad pun.

Still haven't gotten that far in, hell I haven't even picked it up since my last post. Be from your comments it get the feeling that I am going to be very disappointed with it. Hopefully it will not have the same effect that FF XIII had, and make me never want to play any further games in the series.

FFXIII was really bad. Like, really, really bad. Twilight Princess isn't great, and I wouldn't say it's a bad game per se, but compared to what the franchise has lived up to, it is, in my opinion, a bad game. By itself, it's decent.

FFXIII makes me cringe. I feel like Squarenix really just wants to make bad movies at this point.

My dream game:

An MMO. No leveling. Permanent death.

Degrading items (think Fallout3).
No unique items (at least not standard gear stuff).
Easy item crafting and inventory with slots/stacking (think Minecraft).
Survival gameplay (think New Vegas hardcore mode).
Slow autohealing keyed to how hungry/tired you are.

FPS/TPS elements.
Crouching/belly crawling available.
Assassin's Creed style running. Less falling. Slowly healing fatigue bar keyed to how hungry/sleepy you are.
Thief-style stealth. Light and noise matter.

Economic game (prices vary locally based on scarcity).
Guild membership (complete quests to gain influence).
Guild leadership (assign quests).
Colonization.
City management/expansion.
Real war over territory.

City has stats that determine local events, available quests, etc. War, plague, famine, crime, and poverty have in-game manifestations. Laws can create contraband markets (for example) or riots or allow slave labor and gladiators. Sky's the limit here.

Everyone wants to become king and take over the world. So they all kill each other.

That'd be kickass, but you forgot some things.

- Aquatic movement and adventuring.
- Jumping
- No necessary flight, but it could add a nice touch.

The best MMO I've ever played was Guild Wars. With Guild Wars 2 coming out sometime in 2012 I guess; a unique world that has strong emphasis on competitive strategic group PvP (Just look at the name, obvious... no?) and that makes it kick ass, adding aquatic adventuring, jumping and intelligent skills interacting with the others plus, of course, the people around. With the new Local Events and Random Events happening in their open-world, it's pretty much going to be what you want. IT'S GONNA BE KICKASS!

Oh and also, GW's graphics are really cool, especially their items.

I... have not looked into Guild Wars that much. What's up with the Local and Random events? They sound cool. Will there be powermongering/Fist Person Wargaming much?

"sorry NC, I hated Midna . I never felt attached to any of the drama associated with her, and as a player I found little reason to invest any interest in her or any of the other characters."

Admitedly, I found myself liking her more after i muted the wiimote... Eh, i'm just a sucker for redheads I suppose. But part of the problem may be that I'm one of those blasphemous mutants whose favourite video game of all time isn't OoT but majoras mask... And while i'm setting myself up for a stake burning, I absolutely love wind waker for it's aesthetics and slightly tedious sailing. I mean you got a talking boat!!! The only way they could've improved that is if the train in spirit tracks could talk, and was named Thomas! Now just make the antagonist a psychotic clown voiced by Mark Hammil, in a land filled with giant animal shaped mechs, and you have my childhood in video game form.

I absolutely loved Windwaker. Likewise I found Majora to be meh at best and preferred Ocarina.

,Only played parts of Ocarina as my friend was the only one with a copy of the game. I bought Majora's Mask later and had good fun with it, but generally consider OoT to be the better even though I only saw snippets of it. I might just be going with the flow since I can hardly claim to have a valid argument against OoT!
The transformation masks in Majora's were good fun though.

On the subject of MMOs... I could never really get into them. Tried WoW, Galaxies and CoH, but nothing stuck. I simply get bored with them after a while and the reward system alone is not a draw for me. Never got further than 35 in WoW and took me forever and a half. The only thing they have going for them is the multiplayer aspect (not surprisingly) and I honestly prefer doing my multiplaying on a console with some friends. 

Your game idea sounds cool, but I fear permadeath would result in really unsocial behaviour from some parties. Maybe if there was some kind of retribution system to punish kings who feel like killing all the firstborn sons of their empire?
An extension of your idea could be a "living world" kind of thing where each time you die you wake up as a new random character (with full control over said person). A whole karma system thing could keep people reincarnating based on past actions. Die unfairly and you might wake up as the crown prince :p
