Real Life

So Real It's Unbelievable (+6Small-thumbs-up)

Quite possibly the hardest and longest game you'll ever play next to "The Game". Oddly enough this game hasn't been claimed by anyone or group saying that they were the ones who created it, but there are rumours about a "God". One who is all powerful and had created this game for us to play but there is no solid evidence to back it up, yet there are many players who choose to worship this figure. I am confused as to why the maker would not reveal themselves after creating such a masterpiece or at least in my opinion. This game I feel should have won every single video game award since it was created, for at least have been mentioned.

The Gameplay is simple, you live and you die but the best part is that you're in the utmost freedom throughout the game till the very end you can play it as a FPS, RTS, or even a RPG it's really open to your abilities and effort. Though it's true when most people say that this game gets completely impossible and extensively boring later on in the game but that's not the selling point of "Real Life", the selling point is that you can do whatever you want as long as you put in the effort for it. Many players report that there are cheats that you can use to get by "Real Life" but I found this to be untrue, Cheating has only gotten me to waste time doing random things rather than speeding up the process of reaching my goals. One of the most attractive element to this game is the Features, such as the "Eating" function unlike in other "Life" based games everything is logical, example GTA4 you only need to eat when your low on health points to recover your health but in "Real Life" you most eat of you will suffer many sometimes damaging effects such as feelings of nausea or anxiety which lead into even more serious effects, Eating is a must when playing "Real Life." This game emphasizes the realism in games so the maker purposely made it so it does not have a reset button nor is there a save function in which you may reload every time you screw up in fact rumour says that once you start playing there's no way to stop till you've lost, Many claim it's a losing battle but others claim that there is in fact a way to win and beat the game but you must be able to stay alive long enough.

Graphics, well not much to say here other than that it varies greatly from one to another as the games graphics quality is closely connected to your own. The textures used by this game is simple next to none and by far out-runs and out-guns any games made before or after it, it's simple breath taking the extent of detail put into the game. Every leaf in the game is made different that's the difference between this game and all the other games. One thing that has bothered me about this game is the lack of Character Creation, it simply doesn't exist when you start the game you get no selections or customization at all. I feel it's unfair for some players as they're characters are so proportionally in equivalent as other seem to be of prefect structure, I must say my character is a tad too short for my tastes causing me to have to pan the camera up to speak to other players.

Sounds in this game is unbelievable it is quite trilling how realistic the sounds are in face every environment is wired with sound effects and they are beyond touch or even pressure sensitive, it's brilliant what the makers did with this game as they took it away from traditional one track idea for Sounds in a game where Audio takes a backseat to Graphics in a game. I believe that this game should be awarded greatly or at least Kudos for having their audio qualities on par with their graphics at such an impeccable level. I swear in my 13th year in game time when that car hit me while I was on my bike I could hear every scratch and twisting of the car my bike and my body it was an odd sensation, but yet again points out the greatness of the Audio.

Replay Value...Well there is none since you can only play once...I guess you can say there is a replay value, when you've failed at completing what you want to in the game you can always try again there's no limit to how many times you can try. There's been a report about a player who has reached level 68 which is pretty much past the bulk of the game who has recently passed the written portion of the drivers exam in South Korea, she apparently tried repeatedly for years up to about 950 aproxx attempts have been recorded. So as you can see saying there's no replay value would be an insult to this game as there are replay able parts to it.

Fun Factor, As mentioned before the games is quite lovely during the bulk of the start but will grow increasingly harder and seem to go on endlessly, some decide it's not worth playing anymore. I disagree as like everyone else it's my first run through I want to try everything this game has to offer, I haven't been limited but much yet but I found making money is a bit hard in this game in comparison to other games were after every objective your rewarded with cash, this game doesn't reward you with cash for all objectives in fact you gain points in your knowledge and abilities by completing tasks and reaching either self goals or placed goals. This game has the best moments and also the worst, it has a great ability to balance all the good and bad as long as you keep a clear head and make controlled decisions.

Overall this game is a must...wait never mind you all know that, I am enjoying this game to my fullest currently and a don't plan on slowing down. How everyone plays is different but all our "End Game" are simpler but let's all just not make this a race.

If you took all this time to read my rambling then I thank you, if your just scrolling down to look how long it is then well maybe scroll back up and start reading. Regardless of what you do your it's already to late you playing already, Good Luck.

Well it's obvious you didn't build up enough points into your moral and your characters losing the will to do anything and possibly everything, I suggest finding him a hobby or if you have the correct amount of CH and LC you could try the "Ask Out" option during the Conversation Interface of the chat feature. Before I forget theres also a world event where all social abilitys get a 5% bonus, I believe it's called Christmas.

Don't worry. I got a great way how to get through the school level. Talk to people and upgrade their respsect. Make freinds with them. Then find a girl and romance her till you get the 'Ask out' Option. Select that option and you better hope your CH (Charisma) And your LC (Luck) Skills are high.

Yeah, trying the "ask Out" option before gaining enough EXP points to put into your CH and LC is really risky and may very well backfire.

I'll try that, although I didn't put enough points into LC, balls.
Also,
I got the ''True Love Found!'' and ''Woops, nevermind'' achievement twice, what the hell man?

Well you obviously didn't pay enough attention to your Moral points, it probably dropped pretty low, soon enough your character will start to lose the will to do anything. I suggest finding a Hobby for your character though it only slowly recovers your moral it helps, or you can take a risk and try the "Ask Out" option when you have the social interaction pop up umm it's near the chat window I believe, but I should remind you that without the corrrect amount of CH and LC it may and probably will backfire. Good Luck

I beleive the right stats are atleast 12CH and 15LC for a 'Normal' Female player. But for the pretty 'Popular' Girls you'll need about 30CH and 30LC Domo is right though, To raise your Moral you have to find a hobby, It will raise your Moral by 1 point a day, But if you succeed in the asking out option AND you have a hobby you'll get +11 Points. Good luck my friend!
