Ok so let's say video game companies take over the world...
 

...And you are forced to choose one as your god. Who would you select? Each company has thier own game characters at thier disposal to conquer the other companies.

Note : Rivalries between the game companies characters are non-existant, ex : Dante and Mundus wouldn't fight.


I would go for Blizzard, I mean come on! That's the obvious choice. They have all the Warcraft heros and Demigods, the unstoppable futuristic technology of the Starcrtaft world, and the undeniable power of Diablo in that world!

Rockstar would be sweet! You could go around and drive over people at will. And all of lifes goals could be found by locating the pink cursor on your map or by standing in the pink glowing area on the street!

I like a simple life, so I choose Atari :D

It's tough....I'm not sure about whether to choose Square or Capcom.....

I mean, Square has Final Fantasy! But then again, Capcom has Street Fighter, Mega Man, Devil May Cry and more.

Ugh, I'm going into convulsions trying to decide. I think I'll take Square, because Sephiroth is god.

*Sephiroth walks up and sees a horde of Choas Orcs, an armada of Elves, a fleet of undead atrocities, and an army of human spell casters*

Sephiroth - Shi....!

Valve, I need my Half-Life/CS. :)

SOE/Verant, for EverQuest.

Not id, I'd be shitting my pants everyday!

LucasArts would be awesome, so much fun and adventure!

Any videogame company eh?
I wouldnt mind living in a world run by Sonic Team
*sigh*

Namco... definatly Namco. Joined by Link and Spawn, you could take over the world... PAC MAN for PREZ

im sorry.. but Namco doesnt own Link, OR spawn.

No, i know that... I'm purly making the reference because they licenced the charaters to appear in what could be considered one of their major flagship titles... and with that type of backing.... namco could rule all...

I'm torn between Konami and Square/Enix

I think I'll go with Konami because..

Castlevania
Silent Hill
Dance Dance Revolution
Gradius
Metal Gear
Contra
and above all else... FROGGER!!!!!

well.. After careful consideration.. I think I'll switch my vote to Tecmo because...

Ninja Gaiden
Dead of alive
Tecmo Superbowl
Dead or alive 2
Dead of alive
Ninja Gaiden
Dead or alive 2 hardcore
Dead of alive 3
Ninja Gaiden
dead or alive extreme beach volleyball
Did I mention Ninja Gaiden?

you have a good argument there my cyber friend.... but i dunno how DDR is a plus for Konami's world domination force.

They have to have someone to protect. How the hell are they going to protect themselves :) anyways its quite a fun game if you turn the music down and like to play whack-a-mole

I'm not denying its a fun game... ive had plenty of embarrassing sessions at the local arcade... but Dante and Snake are soooo not gonna want to be seen with those DDR guys... :)

Oooh maybe the DDR squad could be used as a decoy.... yeah... i think you have something there..... im changing my vote to Konami... or Ninja Gaiden like mike said....

I say PURPLE TENTACLE from Day of the Tentacle for President... of the world!!!

I agree! Can you imagine a world full of Sam and Maxs'!!!

Remedy obviously. No one can stop Max Payne. Not even an army of proffesional hitmen, soldiers, and mobsters.

Screw those panty waist assfaces. I know some developers, gods my ass.

Here's what I got off the top of my head:

I sure hope Nintendo doesn't take over. You'd go to the hospital to get your vision fixed and they'd take out your voicebox in the process, then offer an attachment to remedy the voicebox problem. Then, when you have that fixed, you notice your new vision and voicebox are making your tire easier, so you get some prescription drugs to remedy the problem. Then a week later, they come out with a new surgery that fixes vision and voice all at once.

If Sony owned the world all vehicles would work for about 90 days, then the wheels would fall off and you'd have to buy a completely new vehicle, since your car can't use offroad or white-wall tires now, and it would cost more to fix your old tires anyways.

If Microsoft owned the world, everything would be huge and take up lots of space and have "X" at the begining of it's name.

If Konami took over the world, everything would be cool, until about halfway through your life when you're suddenly replaced by a weaker version of yourself named Raiden.

Of course, if Square took over, everyone would talk in half-hour monologues all day, then be forced to play Blitzball for no reason.

Blizzard taking over would result in child birth taking 5 years rather than 9 monthes.

If Capcom owned the world, we'd constantly be at war with neighboring planets SNK and Marvel.

Rockstar ruling the world wouldn't change much: violence, sex, and cock jokes. Would that really be much different than things are now? However, prostitute fatalities would rise dramatically.

And finally, if Atari took over, the world would go bankrupt, then officially change it's name, then go broke again.

lava mind

I've got to go with Lucasarts, because "No one ever dies in a LucasArts adventure game...unless they're trying something new"

ID Software! Carmack is god.

Either Blizzard, for all the points TerresqueÜ mentioned
or
Black Isle, the immortal guy from torment, gods, demigods, 3-d rendering...

Bungie!

The Cyborg and Durandal. Not even waves and waves and waves of heavily armed aliens can stop them.

Plus that Halo guy looks pretty bad-ass. And the chick from Oni could also kick a few asses.

Electronic Arts. They already publish like half the computer games on the shelves. Although, Microsoft has some seriously deep pockets, which will translate to some major staying power.

There is only 1 company to choose..

Black Isle!

i would like to say Wizards of the Coast.. but they dont do that :(
