The world of Fahrenheit 451 isn't exactly an appealing sounding place to live. But I guess any type of dystopian fiction is easy mode.
A world where every sound is Tim Allen's grunt from Home Improvement, and everyone has Tim Allen's head instead of their own.
Like from Being John Malkovich but even worse somehow.
Manhunt's world would be a pretty awful one to live in, in either game. In the first, you'd be dealing with a place in which the developed world has enough corruption for the rich to buy prisoners for horrific purposes, and where gangs and private militaries run rampant. In the second one, there are active experiments into modifying people's brains to turn them into killers and those involved have enough resources and political clout to field large hit teams to deal with said experiments WITHOUT attracting the attention of the feds.
Not a very nice place to be.

Isn't Manhunt's world the same as in GTA3/VC/SA?
Battlefield Heroes, because you won't exist at this point.

well not for too long, presumably the book ends with a nuclear war so they cant even use books for fuel later on since theyve all been burnt
yes i spoiled a 40 year old classic
one would think GTA at first because holy fuck if each game is only a little snippet of america at large our country would be a disaster. However they do appear to have the best socialised medicine ever in that you can get run over by a tank and come out of the hospital a day later with a 200$ deductable
Al Khali from clive barker's Jericho
Just imagine,you are sent to a lost city that constantly ravaged with eternal storm,pain and suffering that also entrap ancient sumerian to WW2 history in it,with many demons roaming arround eternally.
cursed to the very ground by the "Firstborn",the god first creation that banished by himself because he is extremely disturbed by what has he created,and even the god himself cannot prevent him breaking into mortal world because he is too powerful,and the firstborn already make 7 attempt,while dragging part of the world to the abyss each time he sent to abyss
And your mission? to stop an asshole from breaking firstborn's seal
faerun because the entire world is out to kill you one way or another

What does age have to do with anything? What's your logic? That every who ever would have wanted to read it has already read it, and if they haven't then they had their chance?
I don't really care about what you spoiled but "it's okay to spoil because it's old" is painfully stupid logic.

I'm sorry, but "it's okay to spoil because it's old" is a perfectly valid reason to talk about the end of a classic book. If someone hasn't read Fahrenheit 451 by now, that's on them. Anyone reading that comment has access to the Internet and I'm sure they could get an e-copy of Fahrenheit 451, or any classic literature for that matter, whenever they wanted to, possibly for free. That's like saying we shouldn't spoil the endings of Shakespeare plays.

Aside from mutations within the children of stalkers, living by them isn't that bad of a thing - lots of jobs from research centers and corporate interests setting up shop in the area. A zone full of scientific discoveries to be made for the betterment of humanity. And aside from zombies here and there, walking back into the local towns, at worst, people in the area just got blinded and deafened for a bit, while they were running away in panic.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Either you live in the shitty corrupt "democratic" government of the FPA or the absolute despotic monarchy of the Empire. War has been going on for centuries and millions die in every space battle between the two.

that's why i said "assuming"
Watchmen or Marvel universe is really fucked up.
Watchmen the world gets truly fucked by the end by some egomaniac whose delusions on grandeur led him to frame earths protector and kill off an enormous amount of people even though there is no guarentee it would work.
Marvel even if you dont count the multiverse earth is constantly on the verge of destruction or domination.
If you do count the multiverse there is one where everyone is zombies,where deadpool killed everyone,where the hulk was banished bruce banner ceased to exist and he went on a rage fueled quest for revenge where he got angry enough that a single punch destroyed a PLANET.

But hey, if you don't die in one of the multi-million battles, you just might get up the ladder of command and be one of the cool commanding officers (and still die). This is of course, provided you don't die, have your superiors send you on a suicide missions, get killed by an insane cult, or be found out unfit for duty due to your genetics.
Or you could be civilian and die in a riot.

Like I said earlier, is "you can die easily" really the worst way a universe can be? There are a lot of fictional universes where death is preferable to a lot of possible fates.

The world from Freedom Fighter would be pretty shit to live in. Pretty much everywhere is a soviet dystopia. Also we'll never get a sequel where we can fix that.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;50937932]Why all the disagrees? Idk about HR/MD, but DX1's world is a shithole. A deliberately uncontrolled plague, a huge secessionist movement in America, massive wealth disparity, a totalitarian government and global conspiracy.[/QUOTE]
MD's world is pretty bad if you're augmented. Constantly oppressed, harassed, and not too uncommonly murdered because of an event you had no control over 2 years ago. This is specifically in Prague though, other countries/cities aren't so bad but apparently it's the worst there (and it's where the game takes place). It's basically identical to when African-Americans had absolutely no rights.
Hell even in HR it's pretty bad in China where if you're augmented you live in constant fear of harvesters that kidnap you and then strip you of your augs to sell on a black market, you die in the process.
SCP universe. No matter who you are or where you are, you're fucked. Some way, some how. The universe just hates you and will send every horror it can think of to fuck you up, while giving you enough hope that maybe, [I]maybe[/I] things will be ok. That's the real horror if it, knowing that everyday "good" life could falter and crumble at any goddamn moment from a thousand possible reasons, given the slightest hair trigger. It's not chronic dystopia where everyone is always miserable like warhammer, the hope makes everything worse.
[QUOTE=Araknid;50905467]Mad Max, specifically 2 because of how plausible it is.[/QUOTE]
Honestly of all post apocalyptic worlds out there, i'd take mad max. Sure it sucks, but everyone gets to ride rat rod death machines around forever and then go home to worship superchargers. If the world as we know it has to end, i'll take rat rod valhalla saranaded by flamethrowing heavy metal guitars over a long slow oppressive decay like Metro any day of the week

Except the majority of people don't know any of the SCP things going on.
SCP universe would pretty much be exactly like ours for 99.999% of people. For much of the remaining 0.001% of people though, it's almost definitely one of the worst worlds to live in.
Well yeah, that's from a "i know about this universe" perspective. Even then, for the average dude, not knowing makes it kinda worse. If the public knew about all this shit, they'd be careful. But since they don't, they could just aimlessly wander into something like 455 and get stuck in an everlasting nightmare for just going into a building you didn't know was some eldritch evil disguised as an office estate.
