Hello you ghouls, a few posts about Kojima and the Metal Gear franchise had me thinking about a potential game idea. I know I'm not good at game design but I'm assuming if Meta Gear Solid 5 can be a 40 hour game that the idea I have in mind could probably amount to something.<br><br>Title should really give you a good idea of what I have in mind. What would you think about a game where it's always sunny in Philadelphia (I'll refer to is as IASIP from now on) and it functions a lot like Metal Gear Solid 5 in the sense that you have a dynamic world where you can do whatever. The idea would be you can choose between Charlie, Dennis, Dee, Frank, and Mac to be your character you play as. For those who don't know the show, Frank is the father figure of the gang, Dennis is a narcissist, Dee is an alcoholic, Mac is an idiot, and Charlie is a wild card.<br><br>To make it funnier, have the character model for Frank be just like Big Boss in Phantom Pain but with Frank's head. So imagine this big buff black guy with a white head, think how funny this would be especially if they had the same voice acting as the show. If you played as Charlie, imagine how funny it would be to see him sneak around in cardboard boxes. That's a start for what I have in mind for the characters.<br><br>In terms of gameplay, think of Phantom Pain's Mother Base but instead it's Paddy's Pub. Instead of rescuing soldiers to recruit them, you're out on the streets recruiting degenerates to join your bar. Each character can do their own side quests, Dennis can open a rival bar called "McPaddy's" while Charlie can be out trying to scam people for money. <br><br>I think it would be funny to have the game be a mix of action and stealth. Given it's a video game of a comedy show, the stealth aspect would be the joke. Imagine Dennis trying to know where a red laser is because his ego won't let him think he can't pull off an impossible heist. Compare this to Charlie who can just run through a laser grid without triggering alarms. <br><br>I can think of a whole bunch of references and easter eggs from the show you can include in the game. You can have the nightcrawlers from the show as a secret boss in the sewers. The rum ham from the show can be a reward for completing a difficult side quest. In a abandoned building you can find Rickety Cricket who is homeless and giving the same soliloquy about how he's homeless while the camera zooms out to show he's in a dilapidated room. <br><br>Overall, it would probably be a AAA game if a Kojima-type game designer took a whack at it but I would rather have something in the style of a PS2 game with undercooked graphics as part of the joke. The characters would still look ridiculous but imagine if the graphics in a AAA game for this were bad on purpose. Imagine how funny it would be to see Frank's face slap on the body of Big Boss, it would be hard to put into words.
