To me, the mother of all games has to be an online massive multiplayer game.
I want a medieval-theme realm versus realm MMORPG, set in a HUGE world that is wide-open, so much so that swaths of terrain are added by the developers according to what & where people (want to) explore. I want to be a hunter who stalks deer and bears, lives in a hut in a remote part of game world where practically no one ever ventures, and comes down from the mountains every now and then to trade, make friends and defend his homeland along with other archers, as part of a larger army, in huge freaking battles.
I am not going to get it. Future generations will.
