What Game Mechanic does Real Life need?

[Unreality]

Quick-Time-Events...

Rofl... I'd love to see it.

Another would be giant exclamation marks over peoples' heads. Either from MGS or from WoW. IMO, the MGS ones would be better. You could tell exactly who was looking at you. Of course, it would need the sound effects too.

Respawns, in fact, Unreal in general.

Quick save/load.

Avatar customization.

It would be awesome... I'd do it once a month just for kicks.

I think, just for the sake of humor, real life needs a broken physics engine. That would look hilarious.

ROFL I can imagine all the hilarity. Someone goes to sit in a chair and just shoot across the room and into a wall because of poor collision detection + wonky physics.

 

[AlphaWolf13]

Here's one for those who've played good ole everquest.

Gating... ^_^

Oohhhh AND PORTING!!!




Not ranja-gating though, oh no no no....

Ok here is my idea on an RPG system, each 6 months or so from birth you gain a skill (minor/major) Like walking and talking and such^^, Then it stays like that. Instead of school you have "mathematics Tier 1" and such skills.

I'm Waaatching yoouuu (spooky voice)

Even though "quick save" and "the reset button" ae game / console features and not mechanics, as many have already said, they are the way to go. It would just suck if you forgot to save before a big boss fight or asking that girl out.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Real Life need's a low gravity feature.

Or just a Gravity Gun.

 

[LV Solace]

oh, ya. quick aave/ and reset. no doubt in my mind baout that. Am I the only one here who would do horribly immature, and irrisponcible things just for the reaction, then bam reset. life without punishment, cause you could do everything, and then it never happened.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

The beat-down physics before the first Halo 3 patch.
I want to be able to send someone flying miles through the air by touching them.

I thought those made sense. I mean, a Spartan has superhuman strength so why not send bodies flying with a solid uppercut?

We need regerating health, war would be so much less horrifying.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Life needs Achievements. I'd feel more motivated to get out and get my Lifescore up.

 

[DiamondJim]

Instant repair button. (See Diablo II)

Car broke down? No problem. Ding!

 

[M3707ik]

Voice commands that people actually listen too
(Endwar)

Ability to steal great gamplay mechanics and then fuck them all up
(South Peak)

Ability to make terrible games and still have millions of fans
(EA)

Ok that was the funny bit. This is the real stuff.

Looks based on if ur a jackass or not
(FAble and Kotor)

Revitilisation Chamber
(Bioshock)

Id like the real world to also be like Mass Effect. Every litlle bit.

Red vs blue watcher?

and

I would love to be able to any play musical instruments with just stupid colour coded buttons, that will show you guitar teacher!
(guitar hero ofc)

 

[Danny Ocean]

The ability to find free energy from obscure sources.

What?

 

[Anarchemitis]

I have two words that perfectly solve all of your desires for real life gaming:
Developer's Console.
