Saving game IRL poll?

[someone else]

Have you thought of saving and reloading IRL due to too much gaming?

In some games I make a save before a decision so I can reload if I want a better outcome.
After playing for many hours I actually thought of saving before I make a decision IRL, then got when I realised I cannot reload.


Not sure how to communicate this, if you have experienced this you should understand.

RL definitely needs a quicksave function, I have wished for that so often already. I'd savescum my way through life, it'd be awesome.

There are meds that can help you.

Real life already has a Continue option if your religion supports the idea of reincarnation. Unfortunately you lose all your accumulated loot and XP but it would be too imbalanced otherwise.

I imagine that in the future quicksaving/quickloading will be implemented with the "Cloning" patch. Upload your memories to a clinic's servers, if your clone dies you get uploaded into another one. Of course, this extra feature will cost a ton of money so only Premium users will be able to enjoy it. Free-to-play members will be forced to play in Permadeath mode. On the plus side, unofficial PvP will be reduced to a minimum since the glorious Moderators will implant pacifying chips into your avatar at chargen.

I don't think I've ever thought about reloading, but sometimes when I miss something I try to mentally rewind time like you would with a recording.

Probably because I tend to end up doing that when I watch youtube while doing other things.

I'd be the asshole who forgets to quicksave often, and then I load my latest save thinking it's like 10 minutes ago and end up in 1994 or something

Whenever you're having a deja vu its because you dieded and loaded the last save.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

No.

If you choose to reboot on day one, you'll have acces to exclusive DLC, and it'll have microtransactions for those "special" perks. There will also be exclusive content depending on which race you choose to go with after re-rolling.

Forced ironman IRL is such bullshit. I want to reload that Iron Maiden concert save file and replay it again.

Meh, Bruce Dickinson has a pretty shitty voice actor, I'll pass.

I would brofist the shit out of this post if I could.

I have dreamed of a Quick-Save function in RL a bunch of times. Almost of all the times involved gratuitous amounts of gaming and fizzy drinks replacing much-needed water. COINCIDENCE?

Also: there was this one time after having played Gothic 1 for about 9 hours straight that I imagined going to eat my dinner at the Swamp Camp because I knew they had a frying pan just by entrance I could use to cook some scavanger meat. Oh good times, fun delusions.

Can't quicksave.
Ugly NPCs.
Unbelievably bad AI.
Repetitive Gameplay.
Graphics just "okay" most of the time, the whole thing looking like some areas have been designed by completely different art teams.
Rich as fuck background, yet they decided to set it in the most boring of era.

Real life. Wouldn't even pirate it.

Man, your last and only savegame is corrupt.

Take this quote as a brofist.

Also, C&C like a motherfucker. I mean, EVERY -- LITTLE -- THING comes back to bite you in the ass eventually. I can only imagine what the dev team must have went through to pull all those scripts together.

You also spend most of the playing time completing quests in samey-looking corridors and cubicles. You have a limited time to do the fun sidequests in the overworld, which depending on the zone may also have roaming enemies to ruin your day. WTF?

 

[JarlFrank]

But hey, every character is romanceable andevery minority is represented with several characters! The SJW people would love this!

 

[potatojohn]

Eh the C&C is almost entirely cosmetic

 

[Clockwork Knight]

They have to be at least level 18, though. Fucking bullshit

 

[murloc_gypsy]

Alignments are pretty much shit though

 

[DwarvenFood]

Random starting positions can really fuck you up.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

^Nothing some grinding can't fix. Just remember the words of the rapper 50 Denarius: Get Loot Or Die Tryin'

 

[taxalot]

This reminds me of some shit I wrote 8 years ago.

 

[Lemming42]

Can't believe nobody's complained about the controls of real life yet. Movement feels really clunky, my character can barely jump high enough to actually climb onto anything. Also the stamina limit is way too low and seems to actually get less and less as you level up.
