I mean who doesn't love being an all powerful entity and just crushing any opposition in your way. There are many games where you can do this.
>Prototype
Send a flying kick into a chopper to take out a group of highly trained soldiers. Then, use the wreckage of the chopper to throw it at a tank and send three city blocks in chaos… or you can just do pic related and call it a day.
>Literally any musou game
Become a powerful warrior/assassin/mage guy and use combos to eliminate almost a whole entire army in under 10 minutes. Kill enough people stupid enough to try and use an attack animation against you and unleash a big move that kills everything in a mile radius. Sounds like a pure abuse of power to me.
>Destroy All Humans
Self explanatory, but I liked the fact that you could hop in your UFO and basically level a whole city. The weapon selection was pretty fun but nothing beats frying a human being with the Zap-O-Matic.
I know these aren't the best examples of a power fantasy game per say, but I know there are at least some better examples besides Saints Row IV. Anyone on here have any good games? What makes it better than the rest of the bunch? I just like raising hell in a virtual world.

I was lucky enough to be on the tail end of the hype that the multiplayer mod brought to that game. Countless hours bending that physics engine to my will, throwing my friends off the airship, such a timeless experience.

Only if you earn it. Games that drop you in as a god get boring very quickly. It's only really great when you come in underpowered and have to slowly build up to being unstoppable.
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction did it pretty well. Half of the game is just roaming around fucking everything up.

I think any game that can be relegated to a power fantasy is good when they dont let you have all the powers out of the gate. I like building up my character from a weak but semi-powerful dude to unstoppable god of destruction and force.
Also any game that can be modded in an open world to have things such as a 'Iron Man' mod, is basically a power fantasy. Pic related is a pretty cool one to me, running around as CJ with the Buster sword is a fantasy in itself.

reassembly in a roundabout way. you dont start out a total badass, you start out with a puny little corvette of a warship and build it up from there. if you keep at it youll probably find a configuration thats just ridiculously more effective than anything youve made so far that makes pounds the ass of things that used to give you trouble. or you can just keep grinding up points for a more and more expensive ship.
youll feel bigger, because you used to feel so small.

It's a shame there hasn't been a game where you build your own tank and go on a open world mayhem fest. I would love a Killdozer game or just a game that is just a tank power fantasy. Especially with a destruction/physics game engine like Frostbite or Avalanche.
>>15572270
I'll definitely check this game out, it looks like Asteroids except better and not boring. I am assuming you respec as you go along until you are a 2D version of a 40K warship.

No, but Morrowind's enchanting isn't as powerful as Skyrim. There's no smithing either. Doesn't matter much though, since Morrowind has less combat and no respawning enemies.
>completely invincible
It's easier to do in Skyrim. Enchant an armor piece with around 1000 fortify health restoration and fortify health points. You'll never die whatsoever.

And just to follow up: You can't fly in Skyrim through alchemy, you can't run like a superhero, bound and jump across the map. All you can do is boost smithing and do gay smithing shit. Enchanting is way stronger than smithing. Also your little armor trick is easier in Morrowind: just make a super potion of restore health that restores 200+ health every second for 2 hours, boom, instantly invincible. Go play Morrowind faggot.

You can make an permanently enchanted armor in skyrim with far stronger effects than that.

I did, I used to create fully enchanted 3 layer clothing and do alchemy loops. Yeah, there's a ton more effects than enchanting in Skyrim, but still, Skyrim is better for creating 100% permanently invincible character.
