If you had the power to magically make a video game, what would it be about and how would it function?

Honestly, I would just be happy with a new MMORPG that's as good as World of Warcraft used to be... but for the xbox one.

Are we supposed to assume that the game would function properly regardless of how absurdly complex it would actually be to do what we what if we actually had to program it ourselves?

A GTA style game set in Louisiana in the year 1900, in an alternate universe where the French government was fighting to get it back. In this alternate universe, there are dinosaurs, and they can be tamed and used as vehicles alongside turn of the century automobiles, as the French have vastly outnumbered The Americans there. This may sound batshit crazy but really try to picture it in your head.

Sci-fi/western on a space colony, *insert plot here*, gotta establish contact with earth, yaadda yadda. Really just wanna see a space western.

As soon as you said Space Western I thought about High Noon, but in space. Nothing's changed, except the entire thing takes place on the Moon

@nicngelman I believe some form of god has breathed life into you, you are a prophet sent to share this glorious idea unto the world. And @thekaylapup absolutely, ignore all programming and just share the idea for your batshit crazy game

I don't actually have a plot or mechanics in mind really, I just would probably go for an RPG style game where decisions you make actually impact the world/characters around you in a tangible way, and it carries on through any sequels. No cop-outs due to budgeting etc - I want consequences, dammit.

One of them has to be at least on par with "10th enemy has the bomb" in terms of how long it takes people to figure out how it works

Imagine Gears of War but from the Locust's perspective. And they win.

Man a lot of you like war games or rpgs, I just had the idea of a horror game and y'all got full on stories and stuff!
