My game idea is an open world first person shooter with dating sim elements. Wait, let me explain it.

The game set in the near future, in Tokyo and the protagonist (male\female ; heterosexual\homosexual\transgender options) has to help win the war between the various factions controlling the city. The dating sim elements come in play when the player interacts with a member of a faction. These parts are also in first person. By choosing a favored faction, the player get more support from it. It's also possible to persuade another faction to be allies, but there always gonna be an opposing faction. This is where the shooting starts. Completing assignments for a specific faction makes the player more reknown and a more higher priority target for the enemy. So as the player climbs higher in the command chain, more assassination attemps and more ambushes occur against him\her. There's also a secret ending.

Roughly that's the gist of it.

Batman vs. Jesus

Nonesense. Jesus would never pick a fight...

... he knows he can't win.

Then, Jesus vs a Fig Tree?

How about a stealth/survival horror game set in WW2 except you're trying to escape a concentration camp. You gotta avoid being dying from starvation, labor or illness during the day and try to sneak out during the night avoiding Nazis, Nazi guard dogs or Nazi barbed wire.

And I'm surprised nobody did the obvious Concentration Camp Tycoon joke that shows up whenever a thread like this gets made yet. When did you people get some class and taste?

I want Rockstar to give the table tennis treatment to a back alley dice game. Just the best graphics and physics ever devoted to such a singular game.

How about a text based RPG. You navigate it just like you imagine... you type 'go north' 'attack' etc. The twist is that the game is fully editable buy it's users, just like a wiki. So the community build the story out from it's base state.

An oldchool adventure game, complete with a cursor to scan the background for items, and dialogue trees. Except all of that is automated by the game... you watch it do all of the item collection and ask all the questions of the npcs. Instead you choose all the responses by the npcs to the hero questions. The responses you give to the hero make all following story elements play out differently and change the puzzles the computer has to 'solve'.

An MMO where one faction play as the character classes, the other can take control of mobs in the world and have total control of their movement and abilites until they are killed, then they can move to anywhere in the world and do the same thing. As you level up on the Mob/AI side you gain the ability to possess more powerful creatures. If a mob is not under player control it behaves exactly as any mob in any MMO.

Kinda an MMO left for dead. Raids would be exactly that... where you would enter as a group normally on one side... and the other side would enter and try and grief and make it difficult to complete on the other.

A zombie apocolypse game where you assume the role of a stop sign. There're no controls or buttons, you just sit there watching everything, not being able move. "Wait, is that a car coming?" They're not going to stop for you. What's the purpose of your life now?

A game with stylized furry characters in it, plentiful colors, tonnes of light hearted anime-ness and an emphasis on flashy exaggerated animation. According to the internet such a game would be for weirdos and kids only, even if it were written maturely, had dark themes and compelling characters.

But I guess if we're going for genuine terrible ideas, ehhh Teenage Suicide Sim 2014, pre-order includes a razor blade and a collection of the worlds most popular emo band music tracks.

Toilet Simulator 2013. You play as a toilet in a bathroom. There's not a lot of interaction, because toilets are inanimate objects. Sometimes you get used, or flushed, or cleaned.

I always though it would be cool if you lost the bullets in the magazine if you did not empty the clip. Example, you fire 5 bullets from a 30 round clip and the left over 25 bullets do not carry over into your inventory. I would create a balance on whether you should reload your gun and lose ammo or risk running dry on a clip in the middle of a firefight and being forced to reload. Would probably get annoying for most people since we all reload our LMG after 1 shot.

oh, this reminds me an idea I had once

a game where you flip people off. It would use motion controls. The point of the game is to cause as much public disrest, property damage, etc as possible by only flipping people off. Somehow you are invincible to any harm, that part might need figuring out but I think the idea is pretty solid otherwise.

A game where you play the role of a fanboy, and the aim of the game is to get pissed off because someone had a different opinion to you. You'll gain points by bitching about review scores (the closer the score is to 10, the more points you'll earn by bitching). You can also gain points by taking something else the reviewer wrote out of context and using it to prove they don't know what they're talking about.

Had an idea for a game after playing X-Com Enemy Unknown for a while.

I would like to see a Necromunda (WH 40k) version of X-Com. The squad-based, turn-based combat works out, all you need is better base-building and squad management i the downtime.

Also an overworld where I can attack/defend zone in the hive in my quest for control.

There needs to be a "stealth" game where you are jacking off to porn in your room and anytime somebody enters the room (at random variables) and witnesses you jerking the game ends. You have several options to cover up jacking off, but none of them really actually work. It's all leaderboard based.
