Storyline

[Ancient Shed]

Idea for the game​

Thinking of a storyline for a game like HL2. The game will be spooky.
Which one is the best ? And if they all suck can you say whats wrong with them, please.

P.S.THOMAS INSISTS ON ALIENS AND ZOMBIES, CAN’T BE HELPED.

1)The game starts of you being in on board of an alien ship fighting an epic battle with music.
2 says “lets go” you move forward and the screen fades away.
You wake up in a car driving towards sea, where unknown ship sunk a while ago(driving to your companies base). When you get you go to the ship and discover a portal, you enter and appear in an alien ship. You escape from there and while escaping you find a robot that helps you for some reason. After you left the ship and went to the base again you are told that your friend has been kidnapped. You go through that portal again and start searching for your friend. You get to know that she’s on a different ship and travel there… and so forth…

2- is a side character
If you don’t like it, then tell me so, oh and tell me what could be better than that (a small example please).

2) You start at home. You receive a letter from a company asking you to assassinate a person, and they mention that that person isn’t normal… You go, kill that person, and find a very interesting looking gun (gravity gun), you want to try it out, you grab something *boom* huge explosion, somehow you manage to survive. You wake up at a hospital, but something isn’t right… the world has changed (you traveled in time, to the future), where aliens rule…and so on and so forth

3) Start on a helicopter, jump from there, (you are invading an island), you start humiliating a village, where people are sick with some unknown disease. When you return to your homeland you are told that the disease is airborn and now is rampaging in America, you go there and see that after being killed by this sickness people turn into zombies, your mission is to save your self. (Idea of the movie “I’m a legeng”)

4) Game start, you get immediately hit by a car, (you die) you wake up on ground in a forest(you have lost your memory) you start walking around and find a hole, with lots of corpses in it. You watch closely and then you see, yourself within these corpses. You panic and run, you run into an old building, where no one lives. You walk downstairs, find an entrance into the basement, you walk forward, the entrance closes, (you are in already) you walk a bit more forward and realize that your in a cave, you kill kill and kill, you find a small group of people, (who are lost in that cave) and the point is to get out of the cave with them.

5) You are on a walk with your dog, you get hit by a falling branch of a tree. While you’re passed out, you realized that the world we live in is an illusion, since you’re a scientist, you build something like a portal, you warp your self to a mysterious world, filled with zombies and aliens -.-…after about 3 mins in that world you realize that you are on Earth but at the same time in hell… so you try to reach your laboratory in which you hope to use that portal again.

6) Just a plane huge massacre…
You with your comrades attack an island/planet full of zombies and aliens… in other words almost like game “Crysis”

7) I’m out of ideas -.-

Best regards,
Ancient Shed.

Is this the same thing as the other thread you posted?

Kind of
Just need to find an idea... for that need peoples opinion

 

[Sheepo]

Scrap this idea and make a Pokemon MMO.

Just a heads up then, this thread is probably going to be merged with your other one, and you're going to be warned about making multiple threads for the same thing.

I wrote that they can delete the other one
But anyway, are those ideas at least of any good ?

Thomas, insisted that it should have aliens and zombies, cant help it -.-

 

[Eejit]

Scrap this idea and make a Pokemon MMO.

Definitely, no need for anything even resembling a storyline.

 

[Sheepo]

Have you played Pokemon? They definitely have storylines. Trust me.

Yup, they have great storylines
Go and defeat everyone

 

[Sheepo]

Being simplistic doesn't make it not a storyline.

 

[staticprimer]

"THOMAS INSISTS ON ALIENS AND ZOMBIES, CAN’T BE HELPED."

Frankly, this is a poor title for your story.

 

[Eejit]

I guess Tetris has a storyline too then, fitting bricks together to form complete rows.

 

[Sheepo]

Okay, so you live in a universe full of crazy creatures that can be tamed and used to fight. Your goal is to capture all of them so that they can be better understood and researched, but along the way your forced to fight with a crime organization that uses them for evil. Eventually you become the greatest trainer in the world.

NOT A STORYLINE AT ALL.

Lol, its not a title, its a P.S. message

Eejit: Wrong about Pokemon since 2009.

Ok, ok a game idea
Is that better for you ?
Btw. Pokemon is the best game for gameboy

 

[Eejit]

BAWWWW!

It has a storyline, the barest outline of one at least, but apparently any criticism must be met full force with Hyperbeam!!

It's still shitty ADD fuel anyway.

You get to know that she’s on a different ship and travel there… and so forth…

I highlighted the bits where you got lazy. Also, work on making sense more.

2- is a side character
If you don’t like it, then tell me so, oh and tell me what could be better than that (a small example please).

2) You start at home. You receive a letter from a company asking you to assassinate a person, and they mention that that person isn’t normal…

Why would I agree to do that? Am I an assassin? A government agent? A nutjob? You didn't say.

where aliens rule…and so on and so forth

Ay ay ay...

3) Start on a helicopter, jump from there, (you are invading an island),

Why?

you start humiliating a village, where people are sick with some unknown disease.

I, the character point and laugh at a village full of sick people? Wow, my character is an asshole, I hope I die.

When you return to your homeland you are told that the disease is airborn and now is rampaging in America, you go there and see that after being killed by this sickness people turn into zombies, your mission is to save your self. (Idea of the movie “I’m a legeng”)

If it's airborne, why didn't I get it? Also, that is nowhere near the point of the movie I am Legend.

4) Game start, you get immediately hit by a car, (you die) you wake up on ground in a forest(you have lost your memory) you start walking around and find a hole, with lots of corpses in it. You watch closely and then you see, yourself within these corpses. You panic and run, you run into an old building, where no one lives. You walk downstairs, find an entrance into the basement, you walk forward, the entrance closes, (you are in already) you walk a bit more forward and realize that your in a cave, you kill kill and kill, you find a small group of people, (who are lost in that cave) and the point is to get out of the cave with them.

That's just retarded. Who am I killing? How did these people end up in... erm, hell? Or wherever we are. How are we gonna escape? What happens when we leave the cave? Why the **** is there a cave, or people, and what the hell is going on, in general?

5) You are on a walk with your dog, you get hit by a falling branch of a tree. While you’re passed out, you realized that the world we live in is an illusion, since you’re a scientist, you build something like a portal, you warp your self to a mysterious world, filled with zombies and aliens -.-…after about 3 mins in that world you realize that you are on Earth but at the same time in hell… so you try to reach your laboratory in which you hope to use that portal again.

See above. WTF?

6) Just a plane huge massacre…
You with your comrades attack an island/planet full of zombies and aliens… in other words almost like game “Crysis”

Again...

7) I’m out of ideas -.-

You ran out of ideas way before this.

Okay, then give an idea...

 

[Sheepo]

It's still shitty ADD fuel anyway.

Any criticism that is blatantly untrue. Hyperbeam?

 

[Eejit]

Hyperbeam was a pokemon attack, right?

 

[Sheepo]

Ah, yeah. I'm surprised I didn't think of that.

 

[Ancient Shed]

Ah, yeah. I'm surprised I didn't think of that.

Lol, pokemon lover forgot about pokemon XD

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Okay, then give an idea...

Mmmmmno? It's your game, you kinda have to do that I've got my own stories to write, thank you. But hey, fine, here's an idea: You play a complex, multidimensional character with an interesting history in a original and well-thought out setting, shooting zombies, only there's an interesting and unexpected twist, when the aliens arrive.
There, run with that.

 

[staticprimer]

Holy shit I just thought of the best plot ever. Ok so, the character is just a regular everyday normal guy living in a major metropolis when all of a sudden GIANT ROBOTS ATTACK THE CITY! HOLY SHIT THIS IS INTENSE! Then, it turns out the robots are being piloted by hyper intelligent zombies. So yeah everyone is running and screaming and pissing themselves and the military can't do shit because I mean come on, it's ****ing giant zombie piloted robots we're dealing with here! So it is up to our hero, let's call him Chuck Chavez, because he's the world's foremost robot pilot. So he's running through the city in a commandeered robot with his lovable and sarcastic zombie-turned-good sidekick, buildings are blowing up left and right, and the fights between the robots are super intense with lots of slow motion and awesome acrobatics, but Chuck Chavez has no problem taking them down.

There's one problem though: they just keep coming. So Chuck Chavez realizes that they are receiving signals from space! So Chuck and Walter (his zombie sidekick) launch into space in their robot because robots can do that. Lo and behold, there is an alien spaceship orbiting Earth. Chuck and Walter board the ship and have to fight their way to the bridge to figure out what's going on. So they're fighting their way through aliens and zombies and Walter's being all sarcastic and they're freeing human prisoners along the way and they finally make it to the bridge when they see an open communication between the aliens and... EARTH!! It turns out that the aliens are actually mercenaries hired by the evil CEO of a military contractor who wants to show that the military is weak so that his company can get more contracts.

So Chuck and Walter rush back down to earth in their robot rocket ship to the headquarters of the military contractor which is in a remote site in North Dakota. Unfortunately the robot gets shot down by AA before they can get there so Chuck and Walter have to go the rest of the way on snowmobiles. When they get there the bad guys think that they killed everyone on board the robot so security isn't paying attention, so Chuck and Walter have to sneak in. They make it through all the guards and stuff and into the boardroom where the CEO is. As they are confronting the CEO, he reveals himself to be a cyborg with missile and machine gun attachments. So Chuck and Walter have to use teamwork to take down the CEO, which they do and once they do all of the robots all over the world shut down at once. Then there is a cut scene of Chuck and Walter walking out of the facility in slow motion as the facility blows up behind them. Then they go to the White House where the president gives them medals for saving the world.

10 Months later...

Chuck and Walter are chilling out at Chuck's place when there's a HUGE explosion. They look out the window to see a giant shadowy figure attacking the city!

To be continued...

 

[Jintor]

You realise that is actually an awesome game right Static

Admittedly in the "So Bad It's Good" range of games but it still sounds awesome nonetheless

 

[Darkside55]

GOD DAMN IT NINTENDO WHY DO YOU REFUSE MONEY
