Skyrim
Put aside the rise of dragons, the dangers of bandits, mages or frostbite spiders not to mention giants and their mammoths. I don't think I would cope with the every day living of a Nord. Even if I was living in Whiterun or Riverwood, I don't think I would cope with the manual labour of chopping wood or standing at a stall for the entire day. I'd be ok if maybe I was helping out on a farm so long as I had guidance but I'd be far from the legendary Dragonborn as depicted in the game. Plus I couldn't handle the cold, so High Hrothgar? Yeah, forget it. Sorry greybeards.
Minecraft
So this may seem fairly obvious given the last entry. But the idea I'd literally have to build my home from scratch (initially by punching trees aswell) and to do it before nightfall is just too much pressure for me. At best, I'd dig a hole, cover it up and only come out in the day like some cowardly little mole. Plus as this game is super addictive I think I'd find myself just building a stupidly big wall, but hey, works for some people.
The Last of Us
Ok, now assuming that I didn't get infected at the very beginning of the outbreak and then assume further that I'd have the survival instincts to actually sustain myself in this horrific semi-governed world of fungus infected creatures, I'd simply be too scared and would sooner die from my own clumsiness than getting my throat ripped open by a clicker. That being said, I could probably survive if I scrounged off the right people, but I'm more likely to use humans as a shield to save my own sorry ass rather than tape a scissors to a plank of wood and go a few rounds against some Hunters.
Arkham Asylum
There is nothing more badass than patrolling through the madhouse as a fearless dark knight who's armed to the teeth and geared up to knock out every inmate that crosses your path. But even with the suit, I'd still be bricking it as I walk through the corridors, on edge as an insane inmate threatens to jump out at me. The suspense would be too much, I may aswell call up Alfred and just say "forget it, let Joker take the madhouse, I don't care". Yeah as much as I admire that world, putting myself in mortal danger? Getting poisoned, attacked and frightened every two minutes? It's not for me. Sorry. I've never even been in a fight with someone of sound mind. So forget fighting the insane. I'll leave it thanks.
Mortal Kombat
Ok now I've always considered myself a diplomatic person. I am far from violent so dropping me in a world where I'd have to literally fight for my life at the risk of somebody shouting the words "Finish Him", just makes me a tad uncomfortable. Even if I somehow won a fight, the added pressure of having to tear somebody's head from their shoulders would just be too much to bare. I think if I was forced to fight, I would probably attempt to surrender very early on or just pretend to be dead, though I still risk some pleb in a helmet shouting "Finish Him". My only strategy would be to either plead for a forfit or find out who signed me up for a bloody tournament in the first place.
