(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 😅

Last game I played was World of Tanks, so...

Society as we know it ended in 1919, after the calamitous fall of every world government. There is no order or law save the will of the Tank Clans, roaming columns of tanks from every nation on the constant prowl for ammunition, fuel and supplies to keep their rampage sustained for even a moment longer.

To be a tanker in this time is to embrace chaos and anarchy. Tank clans commit to bloody battles, fighting to the last man over scarce resources. The victors cannibalize the smouldering wrecks of the fallen for whatever scrap remains. Technological advances come at the cost of hundreds fallen, all in the name of making deadlier war machines. This the world I now inhabit, a world of steel and chaos, of armor and war. This is...

The World of Tanks.

Oof! 100% adrenaline until you finally bite the bulle- I mean, the...shells? Sabots?

I hunt mushrooms and apples for the next 5 days till I max out my supply in the stash and carefully avoid monster encounters because I'm scared shitless and I only get one life this time.

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

[–] zyberteq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] ChewTiger@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] z500@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

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.

I would like to think I would be some kind of PMC trying to survive in a quarantined zone after mass evacuation. The Russian government has cordoned off the area as a result of some kind of conspiracy by a secretive 'Umbrella Corp' style mega corp and has stranded the Russian and Western PMCs that were caught in the area when it closed.

But in reality I would be a Scav and almost immediately killed by some lvl70 Kappa chad.

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.

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

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

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] Darkwatch00@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

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.

Unciv.

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

[–] Water1053@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If by “game world” you allow TRRPG’s then it’d be Golarion (Pathfinder 2e) and last nights game was “Case File #4” where a creepy leather bound book (the ‘Dark Archive’) keeps appearing and transporting us to various other places to fight undead.

#4 was an abandoned mansion overrun with undead that we needed to clean out. Fuck almighty almost every room was a combat session!

So to be teleported there I’d just run away. Even if I could find a suitable weapon I’d not survive more than one encounter. Not worth throwing away my actual life for some stupid book!

Kill some marsupial rats, descend a level, kill some more rats and snakes, descend again. Now for the knolls, rats and snakes. Probably die before the black blob, maybe not.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

I’m immediately killed with a flamethrower or hit in the head by a magically teleported sniper bullet.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

I guess I live in Dark Sun now
