No competitive games

I like competitive games, where you fight against others, or against the machine. Ok. Is fun.
But there are only competitive games. Even sandbox games like Morrowind are like competitive.
I know War will exist forever, because War is inside the human. But we are getting only a 2% of what is humanity on videogames. I want the other 98%.
Is life itself a streamill? a grinding to become rich, powerfull, have a hot babe as a wife and the faster car?
Even If living on games is grinding. Why always war?, I like war, war is fun. I love explosions and people dying. But I also like rivers, the sun, the sky.. mountains and beyond.
The only source for videogames is conflict? What about other types of conflict. I would love to see a videogame about _LOVE_. One withouth pink hearth and lame clouds. But where love has something dark, and something about light.
Yet another interesting game to be made, is a game about the nirvana, the spiritual peace. I see unbalance on most games. I watch the poor souls on WoW, in a infinite streammill of unbalance. It would be cool to create a game, that you will be able to show to your childrens, and to womens. And make your proud of your creation. A videogame as a machine to make people better.
I am ready to make such a game. But I lack the initial spark of genius. As I am a normal guy, with normal life, and normal intelect. I can't do the munchausen trick to move myself out of this jail of conflict games, where grinding is the only way to be human.
So maybe anyone here can give a advice, so the first spark is started...

Seriously, look around you. There're tons of... uh, non-competitive games around. Unless you actually meant non-combative.
I'm still puzzled by what you're actually trying to say.
Edit: Or 90% of the stuff in the puzzle genre.
um jammer lammy
sim city games?
under the knife
phoenix wright
cooking mama
eternal darkness
and the bajillion dating sim type games that come out of japan. if you could read japanese, there's so many independently made games in japan that match your criteria it's ridiculous.
Sure, an entire franchise built around the concept of enslaving and training poor little creatures to fight against each other for prize money. It's a cockfighting league with a cutesy Nintendo twist. Not combative or competitive at all, no sir.
I know I know, perhaps a little too obscure and unheard of :P
But seriously, for god's sake go play Grim Fandango. It has Life, Love, Death and balloons shaped like famous poets.
Oh and...that opening post was bizarre...

They sure do love their self-improving, educational games.
Why would they do that? I was thinking about installing this, but now...urgh.

Sweet fucking Christ, that's terrifying. That's going to be chasing in my nightmares tonight.
Thanks Synthetic Orange, you have ruined my night's sleep.

That has to be one of the freakiest, sickest, scariest things I've ever seen. That's like Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Alien, F.E.A.R., a botched surgery and evil evil evil Bambi all rolled together. O_o
Right?
If you think that picture is terrifying, their main pages background will make you shit yourself.
It just reminded me of that forest god in Princess Mononoke.
This is the third time we've had this topic.
I'm not even exaggerating, word for word.
And the response is always the same. He's going to post again, completely ignoring all of your suggestions and recommendations, and keep hammering his point about games that don't have violence in them. This will go on for a bit, and then eventually he gets banned.
Third goddamn time.

Dammit, I wasn't going to click the link....
until you told me not to.
Now I'm all fascinated

I find this to be an incredibly funny objection on a forum that perpetually cycles around oh noes sony, oh noes xbox, yay nintendo and late to the party. The whole forum is a giant merry go round, we just use different words.
I understand what he is getting at. It's no surprise that you don't. Your response to someone asking a question only 3 times on your precious forum is anger.
I think its a wonderfully peaceful topic and it needs to be asked a thousand times. A million times. Enough times to make people think.
Take a chill pill Furu.
