It's be a RPG with tons of grind something like this,
Tutorials pretty nice lot's of restrictions but otherwise it's fine
School questing area
grind grind grind grind
College questing area
grind grind grind grind
the whole world unlocked
grind all day every day to get some of the better equips etc
improving skills is also grind grind grind
The lategame finally gets enjoyable if you've been grinding like crazy up to that point
but there's really nothing to do, no end goal, most people just quit after level 75 or so

It's a buggy, horrible mess that isn't even built on a good concept and is horrendously unfinished. It's been out for billions of years, and you STILL don't respawn!

If only conversations in real life were as colourful as they are in Mass Effect xD.

What bugs? you never really see any of the bugs until you go the theoretical scientist route like at the LHC, and THEN a few bugs start showing

It's why I don't play Sims; I already spend too much time eating, sleeping and pissing without repeating it ad infinitum in a video game.

second thought: It's a RPG. Most people spend their whole day playing some kind of character...

An MMO with all the boring grind, slow leveling up, needing to team up with people to achieve things just to get better gear and the annoying trolls.

Life is like a game of league of legends it?s long, boring, repetitive and is full of assholes .


But personally for me life is Survival Horror.
I couldn't agree more.

Life has something deeply terrifying about it, beyond description in it's nature as it's possible, as a human, to be afraid of anything.

Best part is what terrifies most people are... people. We are our own nightmares, staring deep into the mirror as we disfigure ourselves so we can see every brutal bit.
Likewise.

You could not have said it any better. Humanity is utterly horrifying, for many will destroy or try to destroy what they do not seem or want to understand. Humans are a destructive, xenophobic, and fearful species. I'm not saying that all humans are like that, but the majority of the species are.

I'm at uni at the moment, so now feels like an RPG. Grinding books to level up wisdom, grinding exercise to level up constitution, grinding parties to level up charisma.

I suspect as I grow older though and I get a proper job, it will evolve into some terrible management simulator.

It's arguably the most uninspired, boring and at times downright silly Sandbox (A word i use completely loosely judging on how many fucking restrictions there are) First Person MMO's ever made that tried to bring in a few unbalanced and damned hard to level up RPG elements. Seriously, if life was a game it would be the most boring thing ever and played only by truly hardcore gamers who like death penalties and dull settings as well as probably being into soap drama's.

That said, it has nice graphics and some cool music.

why didn't you put JRPG in the poll?
Because they normally have magic, wacky hairstyles and a lot more imagination to them then real life? xD

Point-and-click Adventure.

You click around randomly until you do things the right way (usually dome strange way of thinking that passes as "Logic" for whoever developed the game). Sometimes there are patterns to similar problems that you can learn for future, and sometimes there aren't and you have to click around randomly again.
