Does life feel like a video game to you?

[InconceivableTruth]

Whenever I spend money, I feel like I'm in an rpg shop. I also tend to mentally save at a refrigerator. For example, I spontaneously think to myself, "I'll save my current life here... Yup." In my dreams, there are pause menus, game overs, rewind abilities, and etc.

When I hang out with friends... I feel like I'm in a rpg group. That's why I don't like going to huge parties. I've always got to have <3 friends to follow around. It feels better that way.

I agree I feel that I'm in an RPG group when I'm with friends.

But no, not really, as much as I'd love to life in an RPG...

I'd be soooo happy that whenever I got into a conflict that Final Fantasy VII/7's boss theme, Those Who Fight Further would play in the background for everyone to hear. I'm still waiting to see if it will happen...one of these days...

Not really, because if it was like a game I would be able to quicksave/quickload.

If life is an RPG, then where can I get my money back cause it is seriously boring. I mean I haven't had a single random encounter and I have been playing for 22 years!


Yeah sometimes.

 

[Betancore]

Heh, no. I wish. It'd be nice to talk to whoever I wanted to talk to, save constantly, replay, all that. In real life, I don't even get to check the manual.

 

[tombman888]

i wish it was, sounds much funner.

 

[Danallighieri]

Yeah I permanently have the mentality that life's a giant RPG, putting skill points into your hobbies and increases your stats like strength etc

Yea...That...

And if we do find the Dev Console for life, let's hope it's as easy to use as Bethesda's.

What fun I'd have.

I really wish I felt this way about life, but no I'm afraid not.

 

[iLikeHippos]

Life's basically a game to me. So It's a big "yes" from me.

 

[ThePostalGamer]

No, although I'm now interested in adopting this mindset.

Every time I do something stupid or loose the remote I keep trying to reload my last save only to remeber that doesn't work in real life

 

[z3rostr1fe]

I sometimes think that I am in an RPG of some sort... Maybe a sim game... Bleh, that would be boring... Maybe sometime in the future, the plot shall thicken!!!

No, although I'm now interested in adopting this mindset.

Hmm... Maybe Ubisoft is using some other gaming mindset...

I've always just thought of life as a big, boring, grind-sandwichy MMO. Like WoW but less compelling.

 

[Pyrignis]

Although I hate to admit it, when talking to someone, I sometimes get "response options" in my head from which I can choose. I know it's time to stop for a while when this happens.

 

[Spacelord]

Heheheh. I like that idea.

[Penguinness]

Sometimes it does. Feels like a Korean MMO (a grind fest).

 

[Quaxar]

Damn, I can't find the "What if life was more like a video game"-part from Futurama!

Anyway, if life's an RPG I want to complain. The monthly fees are enormous and the storyline is poorly done. Not to forget there is literally no way of identifying side-quests for XPs, no question marks, nothing!
