This, perma-death or bust.

infinite continues for practice

real gaem starts with one life

Permadeath for your character, but your next game puts you back in the same world but later in the timeline after your character died.

The only game I can think if that does this is Dorf Fort Adventurer.

When you die in the game your doggo dies in real life

One day I will be like that girl

I'd be cool with permadeath, as long as I can immediately start the new game with the character I just died with, obviously I don't keep any items or stats or anything, just a complete redo with that saved created character.

I think current games would need to be redesigned from the ground up to facilitate this though. No long ass, cinematic openings, they would just need an instant gameplay start.

It could also be frustating with all the cheap deaths in modern open world games, but also that could make it pretty cool and even more immersive.

One game I really liked with perma death was State of Decay. It was interesting because you'd build up this big group of survivors you rescued from here or there and they would all develop their abilities individually.

There was a stamina system which sort of forced you to switch characters around so that you weren't totally SoL when your main died. But there were also real time events that could end up with some of your dudes going separate ways or dieing because they got lost or had arguments in the group or something.

I liked how The Mummy Demastered handled it. When you die, your previous agent is revived as a zombie and you have to kill him if you want your weapons back.

Death bump

That is a good system. It's a shame the game was so badly designed. Who thought it was a good idea to make so many vertical rooms with respawning enemies and tiny ones that come out of nowhere when you get pushed back if something even breathes in your direction? It's not even hard, just very annoying.

Poor example, maybe. All I meant is I want some in game logic for respawning. Whether that's waking up in a local town in the healer's house or whatever.

>>14695992

I'm alright with that, I just thought bioshlock poorly handled it, like most of the mechanics in the game.

>>14693698

Only other game I can think of was the mediocre Rogue's Legacy. You got to choose one successor from a small selection of the next generation when you die.

>>14694354

It's a good, classic system that makes lives meaningful.

>I really don't care for systems that punish the player with losing items/exp for death because it's kind of counter intuitive

I mildy agree, but I like it when it's a game where you're meant to possibly eventually lose and have to start over from the beginning. Aztez tried that, game was alright for it.

I like how God Hand handled it, where it would get openly easier if you died just to make you feel like a little bitch, moreso if you were one of the fags to use the begging move purposefully.

Perma death Skyrim with mods.

You could lose arms and legs, starve, get enslaved, turned into an unholy creature and all sorts of cool things. It was not just "lol u ded reload or start a new game :^)" but an actually immersive experience.

>Travel the mountains as an inexperienced wizard to get to winterhold

>Bandit attacks

>Use frost beam against it, it quickly dies.

>But frost beam increased your exposure and you're now dying.

>drink ALL the alcohol you have to warm up since you're so close to winterhold.

>End up dancing in the snow, too drunk to advance

>pass out

>Wake up naked. Someone rescued you, but took all your stuff.

Lives and continues, whenever you lose a life you start at a checkpoint and whenever you lose all your continues you restart the level.

In an open world game just respawn at your homebase with some penalty. It would be cool if it had some twist, like enemies stealing your shit and using it against you or something like that.

Oh, so that's what happened.

Death in a game needs to delete your save.

What sort of game could use a mechanic where, if you die you resurrect/restart the level as a zombie, and if you die again you rez as a ghost, with different paths/scenarios available to each?
