(Idea taken from a similar post I saw in Reddit a longer time ago)

I would probably get a knife in my ribs before I notice anything and be left to lie in the street ๐Ÿ˜…

I'd be thrust into a dog-eat-dog world of 4 warring factions each out to establish dominance and feed themselves. I'd say in a week give or take I'd end up on someone's dinner plate.

(I played 3/4s through of Tooth and Tail last night in 8 hours).

Ask me again in two weeks and I'd be in a city where you MUST take a train to get anywhere, in Cities Skylines 2. That would be a nicer fate.

Mechwarrior 5? Depending on where I end up, I could be fine or screwed...

Got a nice job with autonomy, quite a bit of credits and a sweet spaceship. If only we could have cats in Starfield

Unciv.

Just living my daily life until other civilization besieges and bombard my city.

[โ€“] Stern@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have a bad time as I can't speak Japanese and am pretty sure subtitles don't come with me.

[โ€“] Lexam@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sims 4, I really don't notice anything different.

[โ€“] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

That really depends.

Crash land near/in the main colony? Eh. I'd be thrown into prison to be beaten or put into Boris' chair until I was compliant, but after, there's a chance at a decent life with only some risk of death. At worst, they might decide I'm worth tossing in a Warcasket and joining the Dead watching the walls.

Outside of them? Ehh. Might be able to throw in with a tribe and keep my head down until we're all slaughtered in a raid. Some of the Empires seem somewhat friendly, could try to offer services cleaning and hauling for a bed in a servant barracks. Completely fucked if I'm caught out by Raiders, Pirates, Insectoids, or Mechanoids.

Considering I'm guaranteed to eventually get viciously eaten by a horde of zombies with no hope of survival, I think I'll just end it myself.

Now that I think about it, my answer easily could have been any number of zombie games I play, but in this case it was indeed Project Zomboid.

[โ€“] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could have been DayZ too but imo, only zomboid truly delivers on that sentiment of struggling to survive in a zombie apocalypse.

DayZ kinda does too but on most servers it feels like it's mostly about surviving societal collapse in a region where guns and ammo are way more abundant than other resources and survivors have very few reasons to trust each other

Shit Keanu Reaves is in my head making snarky comments about my choices. Could be cool.

[โ€“] leaky_shower_thought 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I feel I need to turn a crank. It feels tedious at first, but it gives me some power to make scrap metal.

[โ€“] Damaskox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That was a fun game, in the way of making many different materials!

BroForce. I'd flex all over those fools from Terroristan

OP what game are you describing? I played Middle Earth Shadow of War, so I'd be perched up on a building watching two uruks throttle each other

[โ€“] Damaskox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

A text-based Online, browser crime game called TORN.

I was thinking about reinstalling that game but haven't yet done so. I have bad memories of dem uruk chiefs getting op rather quick (yeah I know you gotta kill them with the weaknesses before they learn all your moves ๐Ÿ˜‚)

[โ€“] all-knight-party@kbin.run 3 points 2 years ago

Wow, Torn looks pretty cool, I didn't know there were still games like this

Shadow of War is not actually that bad, I'm on post game and the uruks are like level 65 and I still run into ones that are mortally vulnerable to stealth, or just plain soft headed or dazed when you pin their feet, and all that. Unless you were playing on a higher difficulty, I'm just on normal.

They get a lot more immunities and stuff but all you gotta do is poke them in the one place they're vulnerable and you're still the man. Only the ones with the adaptable trait really learn from their weaknesses before you can kill or brand them, so it's not too bad.

Eaten by local fauna,Shot, blown up, or crushed by a titan. Just got done playing titan fall 2.

[โ€“] Lightsong@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Either I'm Link in the Wind Maker, or just one of another NPC. And I'd be okay with being NPC in Zelda: Wind Maker.

I sit and hide until Kratos solves everything

[โ€“] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'd either be an immortal capsuleer in charge of a space ship. Or I'd be some peasant on a planet that are so unimportant that they don't even get mentioned in the lore.

[โ€“] z500@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I abandon my plans of defeating Ruby Weapon and just get in the Highwind and go to the Golden Saucer.

[โ€“] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm playing Fea Farm so, farm, fish and hang out with my friends all day. Plus I have cute little fairy wings in that game. I'm set for life.

[โ€“] ChewTiger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Armored Core 6, yeah it's probably not going to end well for me.

[โ€“] stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago

I spawn next to some weird tower with a princess on top. I see another three stone towers in the distance. The princess tells me to go shoot one of the stone towers with my shotgun. When walking on the bridge, giant log with iron spikes just appears in the air and start rolling to me. It nearly kills me, but I survive. My happiness don't last long, because I see old ugly witch spawning near me. Before I can shoot her, she turns me into a pig. Scared and confused, I turn around and run back to safety. Last thing I see is the princess that I thought was my ally, shooting me with her bow. I hate Clash Royale.

I get to be a Destiny NPC. Honestly, not the worst fate.

[โ€“] kogs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I open an Inn and get to play Gwent against Gerelt of Rivia!

[โ€“] Carighan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I crouch on sand, I'd assume. Next to me a woman pulls a purple sword out of her own chest, tells me to get going then disappears. On my other side a sniper with bandaged eyes talks about a piece of her soul before shooting someone.

What do you even do in league of Legends lore? I know nothing about it besides what the champions say in TFT

45 minutes of salty hate, but at least Neeko is hot.
