What video game world would you live in?

[Darth Cupcake]

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?

Big Rigs

[LMNO]

Would Kingdom of Loathing count?

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!!

[Cramulus]

Definitely the Mass Effect universe.

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.

Alternately: Katamari! I will roll a motherfucker.

you won't be the giant ball though,
you are likely to be one of the things stuck to the giant ball

which doesn't look like a ton of fun

[Faust]

I'm going to have to go with silent hill. Nothing says fun like decay, rust and an all pervading sense of sadness and isolation.

[East Coast Hustle]

I can't believe nobody has come up with the correct answer yet.

GTA.

E/O/T.

[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.

Would Kingdom of Loathing count?

Oh man, so this.

[Rev. Dr. Narot]

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

[Triple Zero]

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

Because, seriously, anything has to be better than to be the guy who has to push the crates around all the time.

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?
