While many of the others playing Bioshock chose to start off with the 'Normal' or 'Easy' difficulty, one man in particular chose the hardest difficulty possible.
[Hell - A difficulty only for the most skilled. Even common enemies can be a threat too dangerous to ignore, with few ever missing and most frequently using their own Plasmids. Ammo and Medicine are sparse and limited, meaning that every bullet must count. You are not unique. In this difficulty, you are but a man, and ordinary men do not survive Rapture, but those that do? They become Legends]
The difficulty's description called out to the man, a man who strived to become better, become strong. So what if it was difficult? That only made the difficulty more attractive for the man.
That man, of course, happened to be none other than Kyle, a man who arrived at the Cafe as but a boy; now, he was a man.
He's lived through decades within the harsh environment of Fallout's Wasteland, having to fight tooth and nail to survive, so much so that he killed enough people to make him the most dangerous man in the Wasteland, but he's reached a... obstacle in his journey.
He was stuck, in other words.
So, he spent some time farming in a quaint town in the middle of Stardew Valley, spending a few years farming and thinking, yet with every idea that he tried, he found that the obstacle before him didn't budge one bit.
Having to face an entire Oil Rig filled with soldiers armed with Power Armor, Laser Rifles, Plasma Rifles, and all sorts of advanced technology, he was easily stomped and crushed, as if he was a bug under a boot.
Frank Horggian alone was a menace, not to mention all of the Turrets, Robots, Soldiers, Scientists, and other personnel that called the Oil Rig home.
Sure, he's tried many different strategies; most didn't make it that far, and some of them proved to be decent distractions, but in the end, he had a time limit before the Enclave started becoming more active and causing more problems across the remains of what was once California.
Sure, he could slow them down through logistics, infestations, or all sorts of other problems, but eventually, they always found him.
So, he decided to try something new, and the owner suggested this game, as it dealt with an underwater city. Not exactly an Oil Rig, but perhaps it would give him some new ideas.
At first, he had to adjust to being in a different body than his own, but to his surprise, it came quite quickly. However, he did not like how he lost control and got put in the backseat whenever cutscenes arose.
Then there was his first encounter with a Splicer, the most common inhabitant of the city of Rapture that he would occasionally run into.
If playing on any other difficulty than Hell, the first splicer the player would encounter is essentially a mob character, cannon fodder that was easily dispatchable, but in the Hell Difficulty, it was a completely different situation.
With nothing but a wrench, Kyle met his very first obstacle in Rapture, a single Splicer, one armed with a rusted pipe and plasmids.
..
"HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS! For YOUR sins!" The Splicer screamed as electricity arced up his arm and launched at Kyle, who quickly evaded by jumping behind a pillar.
Jumping back, the rusted pipe in the Splicer's hand slammed into the concrete pillar, right where Kyle's head was only moments prior.
"HE DIED! For YOUR sins!" The Splicer screamed again, lunging to hit Kyle with his rusty pipe after missing.
Leaning back, dodging the swing by mere centimeters, Kyle suddenly lunged forward, swinging the heavy wrench in his hands toward the Splicer's wrist, and with a sickening crunch, broke it, causing the Splicer to scream and drop the rusty pipe they had in hand.
The Splicer screamed, and before Kyle could capitalize on the Splicer's injury, the Splicer headbutted him before punching him in the gut with his other hand.
Electricity arced across the Splicer's fist, sending painful bursts of electricity straight into Kyle's chest.
Kyle slumped over, groaning, feeling as if he was having the worst heartburn of his life. It was a miracle the electrical discharge didn't stop his heart.
"HE DIED!" The Splicer screamed, stomping on Kyle's stomach before turning to try and grab his rusted pipe.
Coughing, Kyle gripped the wrench in his hands until his knuckles turned white, and with all of his strength, he got up. While the Splicer's back was turned, he raised the wrench high and swung down with all of his strength, bashing the Splicer's head in.
The Splicer's skull broke, and Kyle continued to streak with all of his strength until all that was left of the Splicer's head was a pile of mush.
...
While Kyle continued to journey through Rapture and its story. On ARK's Offical Public Server, where most of the current players were, with only a few playing Single Player, chaos was in full swing as the players were having trouble fighting against the Dinsoaurs that called the Island home.
In fact, some were still having trouble getting off the beach, but two specific individuals were farther along than the others.
A crazy clown and an old-fashioned archer in an age where everyone had powers or guns.
Though little did that archer know, there existed a group of vigilantes who used bows the same as him, though he wouldn't learn of them for a while.
At the moment, the two were settled in a small thatch cottage, a simple shelter that the Implants helped them create, and quite easily at that.
While Harley wasn't that surprised or awed by the technology and usefulness the Implant offered, Hawkeye thought differently and wondered what other kind of technology existed and, if possible, if he could replicate it and get it to Fury.
Then there were the giant Obelisks floating in the sky.
He's been trying to get close to one of them, the one that glowed in a Red light, but every time, they encountered some kind of obstacle.
They even encountered a giant aquatic lizard, a Spinosaurus.
The Spino was a size large enough to crush and tear apart a bus easily, and it moved surprisingly quickly.
He could go along the beach and try to reach the other obelisks, but they were too far, and he had a limited time.
Fury expected a report by the end of the day, and he'd rather try to give Fury some good news. Lord knows he was paranoid enough about this cafe and its owner.
Plus, the faster he got what Fury wanted, the quicker he could return home.
Sighing, he looked off into the corner of the shack, where Harley was leaning over a table with a mortar and pestle, making narcotics from spoiled meat and narco berries.
She cackled like a mad woman as a large flightless bird rubbed against her thigh.
Abruptly, she stopped cackling and turned to the Dodo, cooing like a mother would a baby.
"God...I hate my job," Hawkeye mourned over his fate and the stressful missions his boss always seemed to assign him.
Had thoughts about game mc Could add which is war thunder, were people can get realistic experience on different things, tanks, motorbike, trucks, planes, helicopters, hover vehicles, aircraft carriers, destroyers, submarines, and more this in closed non IRL stuff from different fictional world, think of fortnite if it was game like war thunder. They get learn and use vehicles from halo, battle force five and so much more.
A open world style free world to move around all players play on same world in MMO style, gaining points for defeating other players or NPCs and how. Their is different types points if you use fire based weapon to defeat players you gain fire weapons points, and at cost of ten points of any type you can turn them into one point of another type of point such as ship points or nuclear weapons points.
My idea is this world is a game about acursed Nexus world of war were different realities merged and explaining why world war two tanks and space marines tanks appear in same world, and add little chaos and prevent prevent metas different "realizes" drift away from the cursed Nexus for short bit removing them from the game for sort time till that "reality" moves closer once again.
That would be very good or the resident evil series
@Popcornboy12 maybe mix of both, the Nexus was orginal nexus of different realities overlapped, hence nexus of realities, forming a Nexus core which stabilizes the Nexus that's formed, how ever Dearing creation processes of this nexus someone cursed the forming nexus core, which was only time it could be done. Curse was multi layer cursed but can be summarized it caused everyone in Nexus realm to have never ending war of Carnage, you dint just need to fear weapons of various worlds but also demonic supernatural phenomenon, such as puppet master that kills people and turns them into tiny cursed dolls which puppeteer can use to fight people, and other resident evil vibes type of thing.
Only other game could be interesting is lethal company but as that game is still in the works maybe better to wait for that one.
@Demain_csomic_winters wait just had thought what if mc made a game based on SCP, where players can try to secure, contain, and protect using both scps from actual SCP lore and other non canon but interesting scps could be used, or maybe option to role play as SCP of players design?
I’m just imagining if he added battlefield… captain would never go anywhere near that game…
@Demain_csomic_winters The idea of the SCP foundation in general would terrify shield… and make even normal people wary of hidden hands working behind the scenes, like shield
@UwUber also maybe teach fury lesson when people like him goes too far to extreme. But also game with all other factions in the SCP universe like UN one that tries to kill all non useful and tameable scps
@Demain_csomic_winters if you're gonna go the SCP route, let's go all the way and hope the MC will make a vr game based on Lovecraftian's lore as well.
@Noires Anything lovecraftian is terrifying enough… making it fully immersive sounds like a recipe for ptsd and a phobia for anything with tentacles
