You are now trapped in the last game you played, you have to escape.

Great. I just finished Hellblade. So I'm trapped in the mind of a psychotic person. Wonderful. Oh well, at least it will be a change of pace.

Megadimension Neptunia VII.
There is no 4th wall in this game, so in theory I could just leap out of the screen.
Otherwise I could address the player directly when they open a menu.

Bloodborne. It's my first time playing through it, and I don't know much about the story yet, but I don't think I want to be here.....

Observer.

I am already dead.
 
Formula 1 2016? Eh, I can think of much worse.

Plus, telling people outside of the game to gey me out should be pretty easy. Plenty of text inputs and voice overs, plus I can just drive like an idiot until they get bored and turn it off...

EDIT: on the other hand Hamilton's AI might as well have been ripped straight off of a kamikaze pilot so depending on the player's car damage simulation option I may very well be screwed.

I'm driving a Jeep with Sully and Sam. I feel like we've got a few dangerous shootouts and "parkour" before I can escape.

I'm stuck inside Rogue Galaxy. Why would I want to escape? I have two waifu's that I'm comfortable spending the rest of my life with.

Damn, trapped on Zack Island, how do I get out of here.

...hmm, guess there's no way out. Gotta accept my fate.

Lmao You lucky.

Persona 5, so it's basically like real life for me, except I somehow successfully immigrated to Japan.

Not sure I'd want to leave. Given how dumb the majority of the population is, I could probably enact social reform way easier than the phantom thieves.

Nier (PS3)

I guess my only ways out are through the Black Scrawl or death by Shade. Either way, I'm real screwed at this point.
 
I was playing Pyre earlier today. The irony of having to escape in a game revolving around people trying to escape exile isn't lost on me.

Suppose I have to do the Rites with all the other schmucks.
 
Mad Max.. so I'm fucked, no way out of an apocalypse. May as well just hide in Jeets hideout.

But I'd probably just lead people to me by having a smoke cloud like in game, or using a balloon to go up and hope someone spots me

yes, that talented of a member
Zelda BOTW I guess I'd just stick to the towns. Or I dunno I don't feel like Link is inharrently quicker or stronger than me. I have basic combat knowledge, maybe I'd be fine.

Better yet: you apparently can own a coffee bar that has like 2 customers a week and still feed three people.
 
I'm stuck in Rainbow Six Siege favela map lol. I'll be good as long as I stay away from....everything. I fucking hate that map.

i feel like a lot of this issue could be solved by relinquishing control from the player somehow, or creating a situation in which theyre going to inevitably turn off the game while trying to figure out whats wrong, or just out of frustration

tekken 7, just make things bullshit or do bullshit things

Escaping from Dark Souls III should be pretty easy:

  • kill a few enemies
  • go to Firelink and buy prism stones from my girl the handmaid
  • use them to write a long message on the floor explaining the situation in minute detail
  • summon away
On the other hand, the last bonfire I used was Firelink. So as long as I don't go out, I should be fine I guess. And I get to hang out with my mates Andre and Greirat.

Realm Grinder. There is no escape.

Actually that's a bad example, as it's a partially abstract grindfest. I'm sure the one I played before that will be an improvement.

Disgaea 5. There is no escape.

No Man's Sky. All I have to do is wait. There's no way anyone can keep NMS running for long, even fueled by podcasts.

Trapped in Nier: Automata.... fuck I'm depressed as shit just thinking about it.

Yeah, living in a world of existential problems and an endless cycle of violence and chaos, full of people who fail to learn from the mistakes of past generations sounds absolutely dreadful. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

Witcher 2. I'm only in the prologue so I don't know enough about the game yet. But I guess that means my answer is no, I won't be escaping.
 
Vagrant Story.

I hope the guy playing is on a NG+++++ with full set of Damascus and Ashley can 1 hit kill everything or else I'm fucked.

The Witcher 3.

I might be OK, I'd just have to make the right friends. It would be more challenging in places where anti-magic sentiments are circulating, since a sorceress would probably be my best bet to find a way out. Sorceresses have credibility.

I'd listen to someone like Triss Merigold. Wouldn't you?
