Hey /k/, what do you think would be the absolute shittiest video game universe to operate in?

On the contrary, if given the choice, what would be the best universe to operate in? Try to keep it /k/ related if you can.

Please give a brief description of why these are your choices.

Worst
>Metro 2033
>Living in an underground metro system where disease is literally everywhere, mutated beats roam the earth, and everything above ground is a radiation infested, mutated wasteland where everything wants to kill you, doesn't sound very fun

Best
>Halo
>Because who wouldn't want to operate in badass space armor fighting aliens in a glorious space opera-esque universe?

Also, the best can only be a game involving guns and the threat of death. So no Sonic The fucking Hedgehog or anything.

Not so much the worst universe, but probably the worst game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Point:_Road_to_Hell

It was buggy as hell, and had StarForce DRM that fucked up my computers and caused me quite some effort to get rid of.

But the plot was fun. And it may have been the last straw that caused game designers to invent fast travel - you could literally spend an hour getting from point A to point B.
>>
>>32841027
Worst: Probably have to agree with you on Metro 2033.

Best: I'm going to go with Far Cry 3. Cool tropical area, lots of drinking, outdoor sports and hot tribal girls, and your enemies are a bunch of coked up pirates who are as dumb as bricks. Also, plentiful jeeps and boats with mounted MGs to fuck around in

I was thinking of Dead Space, but I decided not to go with it because if you survived, then it all blows over. Metro 2033, even if you "survive" you can't escape the shit that is Earth. New Vegas would be shitty too because it's like the less bad version of Metro 2033.

There's no escaping anything in warhammer. It's shit from all sides, in the suffering you fight manifestations of your own mind, alien can go to hell in a lot of ways depending on the scenario of "operating" and silent Hill is...well we all know.

In metro at least for a lot of people it's all they ever know to begin with. Still it is extraordinarily shit.

With C-Consciousness BTFO by Strelok the Zone is spreading with every blowout though.

OTOH the Zone is essentially an oil boom/gold rush on steroids combined with a proxy war over resources, drawing mostly people who have nowhere else left to go, want adventure or a qay to make a quick buck (loners), criminal elements looking to capitalize on the situation in various ways (bandits), corporate interests (mercs, ecologists to some degree), the Ukrainian government (military and ecologists) and their plausible-deniability proxy (Duty), and finally ideologically-motivated anti-government types with western sponsorship (Freedom). But the item descriptions seem to indicate the world outside the Zone is undergoing something of a renaissance due to the properties of the artifacts and mutant parts being brought/smuggled out.

The Zone is the Bakken in Syria if you live inside it, but the world outside seems pretty awesome.

Just change the .txt file that deals with factions. Obviously Monolith, Bandit and Military have none, or next to no allies in the zone. Thats what makes it fun.
