The year is 2075 and you're an old man who is about to die. Fully immersive VR has been invented and every video game franchise that has ever existed now has a perfect VR MMO version of it where you can do anything imaginable within that game world. You can upload your mind into one of these games and live in it forever or at least until you choose to die for real. Which game franchise do you choose to upload yourself into?
The year is 2075 and you're an old man who is about to die...
Monster Girl Quest
None because it wont me and I dont want it to represent me. Also in 2075 the average lifespan will likely be 120 or greater so I probably wont be about to die at 76 unless I have super bad genetics
Pokémon
>None because it wont me
why not?
Animal Crossing
Probably some hentai game so I can spend an eternity fucking 2D
would be about 2 years from the great war so hopefully VR will let me enjoy a couple good years before everything gets absolutely fucked.
>fully immersive VR
fuck yeah
>MMO
...and I'm out
>Upload your mind into the game world
>Turns out consciousness doesn't transfer
>Your virtual copy is living in eternal paradise while you're still stuck in the real world
isn't this the plot of soma
Guild Wars. Has three regions with all sorts of different cultures and pretty and interesting environments. Level means little to nothing and skill, accomplishments, reputation and personality are everything. Lots of pretty female models and costumes. Males look alright and have kiockass armor. Alcohol is a thing there, though I'd rather find a weed analog.
Also the community at its peak was top tier with great people.
This.
Im not really a fan of the series but pokemon would probably be the comfiest.
This is the best thing ever.
>MMO version
Just unplug me
Wouldn't you get lonely just interacting with AI for eternity?
>Implying people interact in MMOs anymore anyway
Rather chat up futuristic AI characters than try to talk to real humans darting about grinding on AFK bot mode
If I can digitize my mind I don't need to die to begin with
Dragon's Dogma I guess, or some advanced Illusion Hentai game if they manage to not suck at that time.
Id rather die
>and yet Mother 3 still hasn't been localized
It would be a copy of your mind. Not your mind. You would die while a perfect copy of you gets to live forever.
It's not just the plot of SOMA, it's how it works, unless we somehow create some retarded ass 80s saturday-morning cartoon tech that can transfer real objects into digital world. You can overcome this with shit like Moravec transfer, where your brain is slowly being replaced by nanobots that emulate the parts they've replaced (this way you should not lose your consciousness, but will be able to actually digitize it), but these techs are in a realm of science fiction anyway at this point.
meh, better than nothing
Not really
but that perfect copy is exactly the same as you, and your real self is just dead so you won't experience anything anyway
It's the perfect copy, but a copy nonetheless and a copy that is going to start changing the next moment after being created due to a simple fact of having different experiences. It's not you. You're dead. You're making this not for yourself, but for people around you.
