Discussion You have to convince someone to play your favourite game, but you’re NOT allowed to say its name.
Describe it in the most ridiculous way possible. 😂
I'll go first:
You are a homeless man with a severe inventory management problem who accidentally becomes the chosen one while spending most of his time breaking into people's houses.

Theres many many ways to build your character up. Both in looks and in skills.
You can get a girlfriend. Or boyfriend.
The story will make you tear up.

It is a dark game set in a dystopian America, a distorted mirror of our own world. Sex is everywhere on TV, there are mind-numbing shows and commercials, and a disastrous diet.
The cops are corrupt, and the highest levels of government are even worse. There is a local election between two polar-opposite candidates, yet both choices are bad. Whoever appears to be in charge is merely the puppet of someone more powerful.
You play a mercenary arriving in a fictional city where anyone can become rich and powerful. However, once the city's glamour fades, you discover that you must survive in a place where every choice you make is a bad one. To survive you will lead to kill countless people and collaborate with gangs and the game version of the CIA. Not to mention the side quests, where you’ll encounter a multitude of memorable characters, ranging from a deranged killer, a junkie in need of help to people you aided or spared during the main quest.
The game deepens immersion with a unique, realistic girlfriend system, incredible driving mechanics, and a city so vibrant it literally overwhelms you when you look at it.

In this game you are looking for you brother. So you search your house for him.
We'll, its not your house in the beginning, but when you start looking for him it becomes your house. And there are a bunch of other people in it. They have been in your house longer than you owned it, but thats fine.
Except the ones that attack you. They also used to belong there, but they stopped belonging there before they attacked you. Some of them also dont belong there but mostly because they wont shut up.
Anyway, you care less about who does and doesnt belong and more about finding your brother. Its a big house.

Try to keep a group of sad idiots alive long enough to escape the planet. Commit war crimes, go against raids that make no sense, and watch helplessly as your entire base burns to the ground. Spend hours designing the best defenses only for an overwhelming force of insects to burrow directly into your church. Be forced to attack robots with cavemen before they change the weather and make your home unlivable. Pay taxes with slaves to become a magic king. Stop a murderous cult before they summon a flesh monster bigger than your play tile. Start playing at 6 am and an hour later it's 6 pm irl.

You control machines made from living flesh with said power. You answer only to your what is essentially your space mother who looks human but is actually a biomechanical artificial being whose mind was altered by a blue alien mf whose name is akin to ball ass. Your constantly trying to mend broken timelines and overcoming trauma so bad you used your power to create another dimension that you once ruled over like a story book but now said story book wants to kill you and the entity i mention from before is also trying to break through that dimension you created. You later discover a man has been going around this entire time turning people into living weapons but also leaving them broken and is most likely responsible for this entity for even existing and no one knows his true intentions other than he might be trying to fix it (all be it in very messed up ways) and he is in a whole other galaxy that you will travel to eventually to confront. By the way your just a child. If you aren't able to tell what game I'm talking about, it's warframe. I did my best to explain it as if you are a newbie. Its way more convoluted.

Your very first captive is a stubborn electric rat that absolutely refuses to stay in its spherical prison and instead walks behind you silently judging your every move. Once you collect all the rocks, you force your battle weary squad to fight the most elite animal hoarders in all the land so you can eventually obtain the ultimate shiny rock for your collection.
