What Game Mechanic does Real Life need?

[Frybird]

We all know life would be better if it was a video game.

What Game Mechanic needs to be implemented into real life to make it better for all of us?

First thing that comes into my mind: A classic XP/Skill/Levelup RPG System.
With that, not only the world would be fairer (Everyone has the same Stats at the start...just skilled differently), but it would also allow to be really good at things you suck in by mindless grinding ^^.

Also, Quick Saves...god i can't say how often i would be glad to have something like that.

What would you suggest? (oh, no cheats!)

(God i sound completely delusional)

 

[Milkatron]

Yeah, you do sound delusional. Interesting idea, though.

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

 

[Gitsnik]

Why not a physics engine like Portal... coz that would be freakin sweet.

My first thought would be a decent 3rd person camera, so's I can see who is sneaking up behind me.

That and instant replay/saves for those truly awesome moments where you completely fluke something (like somehow dodging through a 12 car pileup without actually being hit or something suitably awesome).

That or tread-on-healthkits.

That or tread-on-healthkits.

Probably, but these things are freakin' hard to transport.

I go all the way with regenerating health ^^

Quick Save and Quick Load. That's all I'd ever want.

Get a test wrong? Quick Load.

Mess up with your girlfriend/boyfriend? Quick Load.

Fired from your job? Quick Load.

Banned from a forum? Quick Load.

Do your taxes wrong? Quick Load.

Car accident? Quick Load.

Dog bite you? Kill it and Quick Load.

Old person driving a car slowly in front of you? Ram him and Quick Load.

Quick Load: Making the world more fun, one abuse at a time.

Ragdoll physics akin to Oblivion

Animals dropping money when you kill them plus infinitely respawning animals.

Hmmm... will somebody be going hunting more often than not?

 

[Zallest]

Respawn times.

Experience points would be dumb because I'd get +50xp for opening a coke. Then people would be camping Coke spawns at your local grocer and I'd never get any damn coke! Not to mention all the problems Mountain Dew would cause. I'd hate to grind grilled cheese sandwiches and ramen just so i can make a decent meal.

also China would kick all of our asses because they'd be level 100 before i could reach 20.
DOLLAR FARMERS!

Time control like in Prince of Persia... awesome!

I'd definitely like quick saves/loads, although having a conversation tree like Mass Effect would be pretty useful at times too :-D
