Would a One Punch Man game work? How would a game stay interesting

By making a game completely unrelated to fighting mechanics

Is funny because if the manga was centered on Saitama only it would be boring as hell.

>>383220419
It's a game about managing Saitama's ever increasing depression and you try to find some way to bring joy back into his life. Fights are just minor distractions which happen when you're trying to catch a sale day at the supermarket or trying out a new hobby.

>>383220614
so basically its animal crossing, but you occasionally bump into monsters that you kill as easy as it is to pick fruit from a tree.

I'd probably play it

How about a light rpg action game where you make a hero in his world and have to climb the ranks in the hero's gold while wacky hijinks ensue?

>>383220419
Easy. You don't play as Saitama. You play as your own made up hero or monster.

>>383221123
>hard mode is playing as amonster
>normal is playing as a hero
>easy or story only mode is playing as Saitama

>>383220614
maybe have a depression meter in battle that only falls when you pull of interesting and complex moves/combos. so instead of trying not to die you're just trying to keep him interested long enough to finish the fight. might be cool

>>383220419
Play as monster tryingt o destroy earth. Rise through the ranks of monsters by destroying cities, fucking (up) tatsumaki and other heroes, and powering up with rage when your fellow evil monster comrade falls to a nip hero. Blah blah decelopment, sadness, sense of depth and then you face saitama half dressed and """"almost""""" win before being blown to bigs

>>383220419
You play as the other characters who have to fight monsters until Saitama shows up. Considering one single strong monster can fuck up most of the S class heroes besides Tatsumaki, it would probably be easy to make it challenging. I like what the other guy said about easy mode though. Make it a Saitama mode where you basically just get cinematic ultra gib kills instantly. And make an ultrahard mode where you play as Mumen Rider.

>>383220419
in the anime, Saitama's main problems seem to be his perception with the public (he gets mistaken for a villain a few times), and in a few cases getting to the action on time. With that in mind, making some kind of mini-GTA clone might be a good start.

>>383220419
as Dynasty warriors game?

>>383221243
>a game where you play as a monster fighting other heroes and then try to survive against Saitama himself

Easy: Saitama
Normal: Genos
Hard: King
Saitama Must Die: Mumen Rider

>>383222407
Mumen Rider would kick King's ass.

>>383222521
His shoelace would get caught in his bike's gear and he'd fall and die from head trauma.

Create a character and climb the ranks in the hero association, Saitama and other named characters are present and playable but not part of your story.

>>383220419
It would be an incredibly effective game if you played Saitama and had it as easy as he does. You'd feel his boredom, as every fight is instantly over. Sometimes you'd let the enemies do all their moves, just cause it looks different, before killing them.

As long as you add a decent life sim experience on top of it, it'd work out just fine.

You play as Saitama, but you only ever kick.

>How would a game stay interesting if you could kill almost everything with only one punch?
I bet it would be like how I play Diablo 3 while trying to get achievements. I kept having to tone the game down in difficulty and swap powers around/take off gems to keep myself from one-shotting Diablo to get two of the new Necromancer achievements. It was quite frustrating, I fucked it up like 6 different times and had to keep running back through that level to get to the fight only to butcher it and not get cheevo credit

>>383220419
fights are absurdly easy, but the point is to defeat the enemies as stylishly as possible and get high ranks

just make a one finger death punch skin with saitama

The game you are looking for is called One Finger Death Punch

>>383220419
first tell me how to make a good anime with one punch man in it

its easy you dont play as one punch man but the other faggots and sometimes your combos summon one punch man for a finisher.

>>383220419
Make it about the side characters, just like the manga. You could have Saitama-only levels that either pit you against ultra-powerful enemies, have you do non-combat challenges, or have them just be joke levels in the spirit of the webcomic and manga and have him defeat every enemy in one hit.

you also get killed in 1 punch

>>383222630
What if Saitama is the final unlockable character? You must be able to complete near impossible trials and hone your skills with the other characters so that once you finally unlock Saitama you have truly mastered the game. That bored and depressed feeling that Saitama has then becomes your own as you are now too powerful for the game.

>>383220419

>Would a One Punch Man game work?

Make Saitama the final boss. And reset the game if you get hit.

>>383220419
You play as the other characters and the goal is to survive boss battles long enough for saitama to show up and one punch it. You get extra bonuses for saving people along the way.

Alternatively, play as Saitama, but make the game be about being in the right place at the right time. If you fuck up then the city gets destroyed and you lose. Or you have to find enemies to beat in time or you lose your hero status.

first you tell me how to make a good anime with ball physics

>>383220419
Focus on trying to traverse around the various cities to get to action scenes while trying to minimize collateral damage. Build in some kind of morality system that reflects how you choose to handle fights (Ending them quickly with gratuitous bloody explosions, versus possibly talking an enemy into surrendering). Lots of different little side jobs like getting groceries or rescuing stranded animals and stuff.

>>383220419
>Have to pay the rent
>Have to stop crimes regularly or lose your hero status
>Pay docked if you cause collateral damage to the city

Could be kind of fun as some kind of free roam thing.

I think its being hinted at that Saitama is a monster himself so this might be possible

>Monster really likes shit
>Determined as hell to do something more with it
>Become monster
>Saitama wants to be a hero
>Determined as hell to break his human limits
>Breaks the limit but loses certain parts of humanity

>>383223480
Saitama's punch being so strong, it resets the game to New Game+ is so silly, it would be canon.

>>383220419
make your own character for the hero association and end up crossing paths with saitama for him to "finish off" the monsters. if not, you'd play like the episodes. play as other heroes then saitama when he manages to stroll along or if he is attempting to get there, play a stage running over there then final punching them.

>>383224103
think you're reaching.

my take is saitama isn't a hero because he's the strongest, he's a hero because even with all that power he still lifts everyone around him up and is a hero to them.

sounds gay, but thats something you'd see in anime.

>>383220419
You have an excitement and boredom meter instead of a combo meter. Saitama needs to get hit by powerful attacks from enemies while avoiding weak ones. Every heavy hit increases his excitement meter while weak hits increase his boredom. If his boredom maxes out, he leaves, and it's game over. If you max out your excitement, you get a finisher for the main boss of the round/level/area. Boss monsters are surrounded by and preceded by weak monsters who only throw weak attacks. You can kill weak monsters to maintain but not increase excitement. Excitement decreases over time, but boredom does as well at a slower pace unless you play on hard.

The main point will be to watch for tells of powerful attacks from boss monsters and keeping track of weak mobs so you don't accidentally get hit by weak attacks. On hard, weak attacks will also drain excitement.

>>383224490
Thats what I mean, hes not a MONSTER, but he exists by that same logic. I THINK that One is going to go that same route with Garo who is almost as determined to be evil as Saitama is to be heroic

Saitama is arguably the most human character of the series if for no other reason than his motives and hobbies are so unbelievably banal. He's pretty much a caricature of what any average, disillusioned person with a decent moral compass would become if they suddenly woke up as the strongest being in the world.

Just what are you implying?

>>383220419
yeah a fighting game with Saitama as an unplayable boss, but other characters can be played yeah.

>>383221903
you just try to make Saitama as bored as possible so he doesn't feel like attacking you.

>>383220419
If you play as Saitama, then one finger death punch or just a musou. Otherwise, you can just play as different characters.

a RPG where you play as a hero trying to reach the number 1 rank hero spot.

Waifuable NPCs, heroes, villians, events. If you minimax and grind daily, you would reach the heights at the same level as garou and boros.

Maybe a dwarf fortress mod?

come on faggots, it would literally be a superman game but even MORE shallow, since its some anime character.

you cant be beaten, but you spend all day doing fetch quests essientially. protect the town, save 5 people in different locations. time and ability is all you can toss into this game so itll be like dead rising. the ability to ignore the main storyline and fail miserably, but still make it to the helicopter, or go out of your way to make sure everyone survives

Very difficult fighting beat em' up with mooks and boss battles where you normally play as any other character BUT Saitama.

If you die on a level/boss 5 times you're given the option to play Saitama, at which point you're invincible and 1-shot everything. The boredom you feel while doing this is poignant, and Saitama himself complains about how dull it all is.

>>383220419
You could probably have timed events.

>Oh shit! Today's Half-Off Friday at the local supermarket! The store is closing in 10 minutes if you want to take advantage of the deals!

Cue Saitama having to fight off hordes of monsters to get to the supermarket on time.

>make a game in the world of One Punch Man
>play as another character
Nice ideas you have faggots

Fallout 4 with some mods. I did it and it was satisfying as fuck

>>383220419
You play as an invincible monster, but incredibly weak. You initially get your ass beat the OPM and he kills your monster waifu, so now you swear revenge and start leveling up. The final boss is Saitama.

>>383220419
Just like the manga/anime, most of the game is either not about fighting, or most of the figthing is not done by saitama.

>>383220419
You make a mixture of Asura's Wrath and Persona, where in between events you prepare while playing as the other characters of the cast as you please, each with their own timeline that is fully playable with leveling systems.
Saitama will be max level from the word go but his timeline will be the most introspective of all and every day before an event he will have a dream where you fight an awesome, more powerful and monstrous version of the upcoming boss.
The events would be you trying your best to triumph with your character of choice, the main goal being to survive long enough to fill your bar and activate Saitama arriving for the finish. I've actually thought of a whole system where this could work and be interesting, but I'd be here typing longer than the thread would be open.

>>383220419

>>383220419
Make the game a Fighting game and make it so Saitama doesn't actually attack you. His moves will actually be just the monsters trying to attack him, but fail and hit the opponent instead.
Alternatively, he could be a guest fighter in some fighting game and have that same concept. I kind of want him to be a DLC character for Injustice 2 and see his intro dialogue with other characters.

Just make a point system out of it. That it. Make it a Musou game even

i dont know how to tell you this but the garou arc was already concluded in the webcomic

Just make it a game where he daydreams or fantasizes that he's having intense and difficult fights against impossible odds. Make each "chapter of the game" a series of fights that he wishes he is going to fight before dealing with the real boss. Make the REAL final boss of each chapter a piece of cake.

>>383220419
Haven't read these other replies, but they could have a mechanic where you play as Saitama and have to dodge enemy attacks to fill a meter to OHKO your enemy

Also you can fight OPM. He stands there picking his nose / reading a newspaper while you go ham on him. He has perma superarmour and there is a 1% chance every
5 seconds he will do an incredibly fast unavoidable punch that always one shots.

Make some indie 2deep4u depression quest where you can't die no matter what and always kill the bosses in one hit. Then at the end you learn nothing and muh nihilism.

Or you make a game where you play as one of the regular heroes from rank C-S, and have it so that every time you think you're about to beat the boss cutscene mode kicks in with you getting your ass best and that caped baldy fucker beating the monster in one hit.

Holy fuckin projection bud. Pretty sure no one except little kids think the show is serious.
The whole point (and name) of the show is that you know the punchline as soon as the story starts. There's a guy so strong he beats everything in one punch.

The webcomic looks like ass, but that just adds to the jank. If you need something nice to look at just read the manga. Only reason we're now starting to get a story is because the japs kept coming back for more anyways.

Morrowind, you can break the game with potions, spells, enchantments, buffs, and the mudcrab merchant+training

It's weirdly satisfying to walk through Sixth House temples that were spooky as fuck the first time, but because you've got permanent Night Eye and 40 points of Speed fortification on your clothing and a ring that drains 100 health for 2 seconds you can literally just run through tapping enemies, or ignore attacks while you loot and kill whatever it is on the way out the door

>>383220419
give a destruction/popularity poll meter. that way it's like mgs kind of: you can complete the game solely with stealth style and grace or complete it with ruthless guns a-blazing (so in the case of OPM, you can swiftly taking down threats trying to minimize as muc h collateral damage and unlock quests and missions that way, or you can cinematic capeshit blockbuster gta mods gunho that shit by just punching however the hell you want).

in short, DON'T punish the player with a straight laced objective. let US decide how to play and give multiple alignment chart routes

I think I have an idea that could work pretty well.

Games starts off with business man saitama and follows his chronicles to get stronger.
Players constantly given new randomly generated and user/developer created challenges and enemies that get stronger with every victory.
However they can only get stronger.
Once the player reaches one punch man status continuing the game is up to them.
It will be extremely boring because they would no longer be able to pull off combos, and everyone does in one hit.
The idea is for the player and saitsma to grow bored over the course of the game
