Terrible Game Ideas

I was playing a game while chatting with my friend, and all of the sudden the worst game idea came to me: Bargain Hunter!

I can't explain it, but I just had a really fun time imagining how bad I could make a game. I came up with an idea along the lines of of the old Bazaar system in Luclin era Everquest.

Basically it was a decent sized zone where you would leave your character while you weren't playing, and the character would become an NPC vendor selling items that you chose, at prices that you set.

My game idea would be a vastly larger zone full of similar NPCs, minus the search functions, and you'd be given a shopping list and would have to go and manually check each vendor to see if they sold the items you needed and at what price.

Points of course are based on if you found the best bargain available. Harder levels would include fluctuating prices and competition with NPC buyers.

What a terrible game idea, right? Sounds like it wouldn't be fun at all! I have no idea why I had so much fun coming up with the concept, but there you go.

Have a great weekend!
