What video game world would you live in?

I'd say Bayonetta because I want guns on my shoes and crazy pole-dancing stripper attacks, but let's face it--I'd probably just be an average schmoe.

So then, Bioshock! Because I freaking love the ocean and Art Deco and oh man, that game is just SO PRETTY.

Also, there's cans of beans fucking EVERYWHERE.

Alternately: Katamari! I will roll a motherfucker.

Definitely the Mass Effect universe. I'm kind of fixed on the alien bit, so knowing there were aliens would be a plus. I'm also a sucker for Bladerunner / cyberpunk stuff so, to be on a dilapidated asteroid drinking booze and watching a go-go girl on an 80-foot videoscreen, to me, is too fuckin cool. http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Omega

I always want to say "I'd like to live in the Fallout universe" but I'm probably too much of a pussy to survive.

I am tempted to say Bioshock, but most of the splicers/big daddys/little sisters/etc. seem to have either undergone a vast amount of trauma, or are being killed by each other.

So maybe... Perhaps a MMORPG like Guild Wars, where every character is essentially a hero? Or is that cheating?

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Doom. Minions of hell chasing me about and trying to kill me would never get old.

Also, good chance that you'll turn out to BE one of those Minions!!

Yeah that one might not be that bad. No large scale problems with war or famine, and the government isn't terribly fucked up.

I would not want to live there -- too bleak, and you're going to die of dehydration.

that's cheating, you can't be a player!

are there random peasants in that world? If not, you can't live there.

nope, you can't be the main guy. So you're probably just some tard stuck in hell.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Cramulus

why GTA? you don't get to be a car thief, and there's a good chance you're gonna die in a car accident. The random people in that universe are no better off than us, they just have better radio stations and (probably) more expensive insurance.

I could really go for the plasmids too. It'd be so sweet to be able to shoot bees out of your arms, ice, all that other crazy stuff :)

Wait wait, if I don't get to be the main character ... I'll pick ... SOKOBAN!!

AFK

Chrono Trigger, as long as it was what constituted "present day".  Cause all of the bad shit seems to happen in the past or future.  The distant path had dangerous dinosaurs (probably no such thing as a non-dangerous dinosaur).  The "medieval" times had Magus tearing shit up.  Future saw Lavos killing most everyone and those left behind got their nutrition from what I would now describe as a Jenkem-machine. 

Present day was pretty cool.  Parties, people hanging around bars drinking all day, cool weapons and money just laying around on the ground.  Talking frogs.  What more could you want?
