Absolute worst fictional worlds to live in? - General

The Dragon Ball universe has the potential to suck some serious shit

The Resident Evil cinematic universe seems pretty grim. Especially if you aren't one of the main characters.

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;50876632]The Dragon Ball universe has the potential to suck some serious shit[/QUOTE] It's kinda the world where everybody on Earth has died at least once except for Mr Satan.

The Tiberium universe is pretty screwed up. Sure you can live in a plushy Blue Zone, but those only constitute 2% of the planet by the time of CnC 4 and Nod seems to kick in the door frequently and easily considering GDI is a global superpower.

Teletubbies

[QUOTE=Cheshire_cat;50876459]Halo is a pretty fucking terrible universe for nearly every sentient being possible. The Forerunners and Precursors are nearly or entirely extinct. The various Covenant species are either cannon fodder, corrupt, or fixated on honor to the point of suicide. The UNSC is sitting on the very edge of the moral event horizon with a large swath of humanity brutally murdered over twenty-seven years. It's a shit state of affairs regardless of what species you are.[/QUOTE] The shittyness is basically never touched on in the games, and only sort of alluded to in the books. Billions die over the course of roughly 25 years, colonies are reduced to radioactive ash, the military wins pyrrhic victories both planetside and starside against vicious alien zealots wielding deadly exotic weaponry (hello, giant pink exploding needles), but that's almost nothing - the nigh-fascist governing body for humanity brutally suppresses secession attempts and people fighting for freedom by using nukes, kidnapped children turned augmented super-soldiers, and extremely sophisticated tracking and profiling technology. ONI is like the CIA, NSA, and FBI all wrapped into one and multiplied by ten. Still, I think before the Covenant showed up (or if you lived on a colony that never got hit) or you stayed far away from the Insurrection, it would be a pretty sweet deal.

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;50875824]Warhammer[/QUOTE] The Fantasy World would be horrible to live in. I'd never go outside. Walk around town? Accused of being a heretic because you own a hammer. Go just out for a stroll? Murdered by Orcs or Norscans. Go hide in the woods? Pumped full of arrows by Elves or raped to death by Beastmen. Go to the Mountains? Eaten by Ogres. Go fishing? Captured by Dark Elves. Visit the Bretonnians? Beaten to death by Peasants because they think you're a witch. Visit the Dwarves? Beaten to death because your great-great-great grandfather bought the last piece of bread at the market. Go outside to tend your garden? Congrats, there are fucking skulls growing out of the ground with your roses.

[QUOTE=Number7Reds;50876654]The Resident Evil cinematic universe seems pretty grim. Especially if you aren't one of the main characters.[/QUOTE] Shit, the normal resident evil universe isn't that much better even if you ARE on of the main characters and having gone through Leon's campaign in resident evil 6 things are literally just 'there was a part where I reached the point of no return, but lets continue and see what happens anyways" [sp]a literal giant zombie spider fly[/sp] the world from The Passage series and onwards is pretty hellish too. And without spoiling major plot points it goes to a shitstorm if Castlevania took place in the real world but there was no Belmont to stop it. And there's 12 draculas.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;50877035] Go outside to tend your garden? Congrats, there are fucking skulls growing out of the ground with your roses.[/QUOTE] Nah that's just the art direction. Skulls on everything possible. Nothing to worry about

[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;50877078]Someone's heavily modded Skyrim universe.[/QUOTE] I dunno, having massive tits and being attacked by Thomas the Tank Dragon seems like a great way to spend an afternoon

For 40k even if you live on some peaceful world, it's still essentially turbo-1984. Any dissension will be scrutinized, your neighbors will inform on you. And no matter how small the chance of something awful happening your living in a world where you KNOW there are things out there that could come there at a moments notice, or could already be there and you just don't know it yet.

[QUOTE=Dr. Ethan Asia;50877386]I dunno, having massive tits and being attacked by Thomas the Tank Dragon seems like a great way to spend an afternoon[/QUOTE] I'd be okay with living in the Fallout universe if the Super Mutants were all Randy Savage impersonators.

Oops, missread the title :v:

Scatman's world. There isn't even any technology there.

[QUOTE=Novangel;50876397]Depending on where you live the 40k universe isn't all bad. You could live a decent-good life in some of the hive cities/worlds.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and what percentage of the population would that be? But yeah, city spire life could be okay. Or just living in orbit, as some (like planetary governors) do.. Personally, I would just go for the position of an adept of the [URL="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Administratum"]Administratum[/URL] if I could choose. :vs: [editline]13th August 2016[/editline] Or one of these guys: [img]http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/5/51/Terminator_Armour.jpg/431px-Terminator_Armour.jpg[/img] Excluding the one in the middle though!

Killing Floor. No matter where you go, these monsters will follow you endlessly and slaughter you in the worst way possible and eat you alive.

While the technology and standard of living in Star Trek is pretty damn awesome most of the time, a lot of its history is riddled with terrible times for humanity and the Alpha and Beta quadrants as a whole, specifically Earth before humanity achieved warp. The Eugenics Wars, World War III, the Post-Atomic Horror thereafter, and not to mention the constant attempts by time travelers to fuck up Earth before it had a chance to start the Federation. Then post-warp, there was the Romulan War, the Xindi's attempt (and in at least one reality, success) to destroy Earth and humanity (not to mention the tests of the weapon's prototypes, which killed over seven million people in just one attack), several Klingon conflicts, countless other doomsday weapons that nearly destroyed Earth or other Alpha/Beta quadrant powers, the constant threat and attacks by the Borg post-contact, and the Dominion War are only a few of the conflicts that killed billions. So while living in Star Trek as something like a science officer on a Starfleet ship might be awesome if you're living in a peaceful time, in a few years you may be faced with having all of your friends on other ships dead, or be sent to war on a ship that has no business fighting but must do so anyway because of a shortage of ships and crews. Assuming you weren't killed by a spacetime anomaly or confused newly discovered alien beforehand.

War Thunder universe. No matter where you are, a T-34/85 is waiting to shoot you in the ass.

[QUOTE=Riller;50878241]War Thunder universe. No matter where you are, a T-34/85 is waiting to shoot you in the ass.[/QUOTE] Or you get rammed for having the plane with more guns :v:

The splatoon universe. Everyone's a squid. An UNDERAGE squid.

Game of thrones.

Dwarf Fortress. Your home and everyone you love is going to be eaten/disembowelled/burned/exploded or otherwise maimed within a decade. The poorest people get kidnapped or executed, and the richest will attract monsters of indescribable terror.
