I can't remember the last movie I watched, so I'm going with Peacemaker, and Fallout 4.

Totally doable with mods.

EDIT: No big surprise, I guess:

So lots of hanging out with Aristotle at his gym.

[–] ElectricAirship@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Shutter Island and Stardew Valley... oh god

[–] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

That actually sounds like an interesting combination

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oh wow!!

It would be Alien Nation and Cyberpunk 2077.

Which would mean the world is probably just be Cyberpunk 2077/Grand Theft Auto in the future.

Also Keanu Reeves would be a Rockstar Eco Terrorist, who played a mean guitar!

Bloodborne and Idiocracy which is kind of cursed.

[–] master_of_unlocking@piefed.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

The Sixth Sense and Big Walk. An open world exploration game where you and your friends see dead people and help them solve their problems so they can finally rest. Also,

Tap for spoileryou’re dead too but you don’t know until you beat the game.

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Star Trek and Crusader Kings, so I just reinvented Battletech but with Klingons

Project hail Mary and Factorio.

Well I just finished binging a season of Ted Lasso and the last game I played was Balatro.

I don't believe it! After an abysmal first half, Richmond will be walking away with a win today, scoring 1,780,560 points in the final minute of the game! That secures their position and they'll be going on to play Man City in the next blind, where goalies will be debuffed!

The Matrix and Shogun Showdown. The Matrix universe but set in the Edo period of Japan with samurai and shit? Sign me up

[–] baronvonj@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Baldur's Odyssey.

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I would absolutely watch Leslie Neislon in monster hunter

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Factorio and Project Hail Mary.

...and that's how the Factorio expansion "Space Age" was born.

[–] Militias@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Legally Blonde 2 and Space Engineers sooo... Legally Blonde Space Engineers?

Not really sure how to add legal battles to a space sandbox though.

Slay the Spire and Secondhand Lions.

Oddly sensical. Obviously it'd just be Walt (and maybe Jasmine) navigating a horrible gauntlet of traps set by the Uncles to win their heart.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Or the entire Spire would be the story the uncles are telling Walt, from their perspective having experienced it in their younger days. Then Walt follows in their footsteps and after he completes the third run, they find The Heart hidden away in the barn cellar, instead of piles of cash, and they all go down to fight it but Jasmine comes to save them from certain death.

Then Walt's mother comes back with a CPS worker and they take him away, and arrest the uncles for child endangerment. Roll credits.

[–] petrichornetrainfall@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Donnie Darko and Final Fantasy 14. The Shadowbringers expansion would kind of fit the mood.

[–] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 3 points 3 weeks ago

That might be quite a mix, as someone who has seen Donnie Darko and is a huge fan of it.

[–] Griffus@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Project Hail Mass Effect. Very spacy, lots of aliens.

[–] MissingInteger@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Dark Souls III x Stargate

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

50 people play non-stop killer sudoku. Three mistakes gets you shot. The last person still playing gets a gajillion dollars and one wish.

[–] CyberneticOwl@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

The Man From Nowhere + Slime Rancher...so seedy underworld trafficking anthropomorphic slimes?

[–] nimble@feddit.online 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The God of Cookery and, uh, The Witcher. Hmm, well, the main character (in God of Cookery) does turn out to be an incarnated deity (the kitchen god), and that does track with stories about Geralt's exploits, so perhaps someone tried to hire him to go after Chow (instead of the assassin in the film?) and of course Geralt finds that there's no good reason and maybe even helps him, although Chow doesn't need the help (he gets plenty from his other new friends). Now I'm thinking about Geralt encountering the 18 Brass Monks of Shaolin Monastery trying to get Chow out so he can get to the cooking competition on time lol. I guess the best way to explain how Geralt ended up in 1990's Hong Kong is teleportation accident.

Alternatively, Chow in the world of the Witcher... I don't think that would be quite as entertaining. I would prefer to put Geralt in the world of The God of Cookery.

[–] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You've seen The God Of Cookery too?! I laughed so hard at that one...

Rouge Trader von Volancius returning back in time over and over again to the same dining hall to pick a team that can stop a sentient AI from emerging and enslaving Humankind Empire in virtual reality.

Actually, this looks like a valid Warhammer 40k plot.

Denzel Washington from The Equalizer would be absolutely kicking ass in an Asphalt Legends-type driving game. I could handle that!

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Project Hail Mary and Halo: Campaign Evolved. So, uh, just Halo I guess, only replace the grunts with Rocky.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Who would want to shoot rocky

Spiderman and walkabout mini golf.

... I feel like the punisher's fort, house, thing would be an entertaining course.

[–] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 3 points 3 weeks ago

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Deltarune.

Hmmm... that would be a most triumphant idea.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Balatro and the odyssey

Might make some interesting jokers

[–] audrbox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Really really sad and gay (I Saw The TV Glow + Final Fantasy 14)

[–] discoplasm@quokk.au 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak and...Conquest (1983)

i dont even want to think about what that would look like 😂

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Watchmen x Splatoon is a very uhh interesting combination

Tom Clancy's: Your Name

An coming of age action story about a CIA double agent from the jungle trying to prevent the end of the world in the body of a teenage shrine maiden.

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Odyssey and backgammon? Could happen.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oooh, Hadestown and BG3! It would be so good! Like AC Odyssey but with more focus on the Gods and less on the wars, with more DND mechanics. I’m so down for that.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Odyssey and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Could definitely see Odysseus stumbling across a titan and travelling to Elysium.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Jackass and Merge Mansion

Would be a weird ass combo

[–] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 2 points 3 weeks ago

"I'm Maddie and this is the Merging Stunt!" /j

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wake up Dead Man and Grim Dawn. A murder mystery in the world of Grim Dawn would be pretty fun. I'd watch it.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Instead of sailing around everywhere, Odysseus would be putting years’ worth of library books back on shelves.

[–] homik@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across Outer Worlds. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Fellowship of the Ring and Cyberpunk 2077. I think Saruman and his industrialization of the Forest of Fangorn could make for some nice tie-ins to cyberpunk's story.
