10 Features From Gaming We Want In Real Life

Not sure what I would want more. Being able to Respawn or having Cheats. With Cheats I could become invincible. Hmmmmmm.

ipwnall5043d ago

Well I would rank it; Cheats > Respawn but Saves rule all.

I'm not so sure about this...

10. Switch from 1st to 3rd Person: Hell yes. As long as they fix the clipping glitches. Don't want my eyes to get stuck in a wall.

9. Life Statistics: Fuck no, I'd rather not watch myself slowly die, thank you. I like surprises, having an ever-decreasing health bar would ruin the fun.

8. HUD: We already have this, it's called Layer.

7. Difficulty Selection: Wouldn't this cause a paradox of some sort? Would this decrease the population? Or will everyone (regardless of difficulty level) be in the same world? I also fear that 'easy' would be too packed by annoying noobs, while hard would be packed with arrogant assholes.

6. Quests: Would cause hyperinflation, then we couldn't buy our Layer app and there'd be no hud. Sacrifice one or the other!

5. Cheat Codes: This would suck ass for war... The shit would never end! Shoot someone & they wont even take damage. We've already got a near invincible force of crazies, they're called theists, let's not make this worse!

4. Respawn: Wouldn't this get rather petty after a while? Is it possible to leave? What about anyone who's suicidal? Or are you doomed to constantly respawn until the sun implodes on itself, or the Earth is no longer inhabitable? For that matter, what happens AFTER we can no longer live on earth?

3. Chapter Select: Hell yes, ditch the saggy nuts and tits.

2. New Game+: This'd be nice, but wouldn't it start to be rather difficult to remember stuff after some time? Our brains are only so big, we can't continue learning things indefinitely, can we?

1. You ain't got no pancake mix! (Oh, and this'd cause a paradox, no? Kinda like going into a time machine.)

there are many people in the world who live life as a video game in their basements. you suppose to live your own life not let people control over you. videogames should be a hobby and thats all

ipwnall5043d ago

With gaming elements in your life, you'd have it all. No one would be controlling you, but it is sad to see people heavily addicted to videogames.

NSG5043d ago

Word, some people just go to far in terms of gaming..

Sunny_D5043d ago

I would love a restart.
Messed up at work? Restart
Made a mistake? Restart
Got into a fight with Gf? Restart
Ate a large dessert and wish you didn't? Restart and again and again and again.:p

Detroitnews5043d ago

Difficulty selection sounds pretty neat along with a HUD display.

But I would want a skill rating system. You can invest points and make that skill better.

ipwnall5043d ago

Not a bad idea. But life kind of works like that already. Invest time in x and get better in x.

BannedForNineYears5043d ago

This isn't really related to gaming.
But whenever I'm doing homework or just writing.
I sometimes find myself desperately wanting to CTRL+Z or when I'm reading I want to CTRL+F something.
xD

D4RkNIKON5043d ago (Edited 5043d ago )

Yeah, I photoshop for a living and I use it all the time. I used to have a shirt demonstrating CTRL+Z in real life. http://jinternets.files.wor...

MrGunny945043d ago

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
