Forget realism; what's your "DREAM" game?

[Silvered Sutures]

Not taking into consideration the feasibility of it, what would be you ideal, perfect, videogame? The thought for this question came to mind after watching this video here;


What came to mind is a massive multiplayer online game with Devil May Cry's combat, weapon swapping, and style systems, character customization at the level of Soul Calibur 6 meets Black Desert Online and Dragon Age: Inquisition and customizable movesets to the extent of the Xenoverse games, Absolver, and the likes.

Imagine taking on wave after wave of demons with a group of your RP buddies with your cool and unique OCs? I think it'd be a very fun time... and even if the game becomes unviable online? No worries; it has a completely independent functional single player mode that runs for triple the length of the average DMC game.

So that's MY pick; what would be yours?

An mmo system that plays super asymmetrically, to the point of feeling like completely different game genres for players in different positions.

Example: low-fantasy mmorpg where some players are faction leaders, essentially playing Civilization type grand strategy, some players playing as mayors/guild masters essentially play a city-building sim, and some players will just play as a single character in the world, like a normal multiplayer rpg.

I've wanted this since BF2142 had the commander system where one guy in the team was basically playing an RTS while everyone else was playing FPS and it blew my mind.

I haven't played a massive number of games, more like a few big titles for a few years each. But assuming it flows reasonably well from a challenge/ replay tasks perspective without a desktop or the latest generation of gpu..

I'll just say something about rewards structure for now.

I'm mostly into mmo's or gacha open-world rpg games. I really liked Guild Wars 2, but felt like for a f2p game you had to nearly pay subscription rates to keep customizing character outfits (unless you really love long quests with very fussy puzzles). I have been getting along alright with Genshin's slightly slow gacha system "okay" but would like a little more frequent rewards and more outfit customization.

So these days, I'd really like a f2p game that regularly gives you both a good range of character customization and some semi-regular access to new gear and cosmetics.

Something like a small selection of one new weapon or armor that isn't generally way suboptimal and has some new build or use situations, every other month and a selection of a cosmetic item every other month.

Not necessarily as an instant drop, but I shouldn't have to spend a month clearing a whole region or run the same dungeon umpteen times with random pickup parties to get one shoulder piece look changed. If it were a big or frequently rotating selection, that would be great. But even like a choice out of four reasonably attractive new or rotating items (in a game where they could be recolored in a few channels please) which aren't too build-destroying at level if they come with stats, would be nice.

Actually, I don't feel that should be unrealistic at all. Less realistically, I'd love someone to come up with a giant evolving catalog especially of cosmetics and make it pretty easy to access a piece or few even more often. Perhaps through a quick solo quest for some of them, say akin to Genshin's *character story quests or hangouts but... Gimme more access to stuff I can wear and mix and match! (Without starting in on pets hehe.)
