The best video game ever made!

category: general [glöplog]
It came out over two million years ago, and it has the best graphics achieved to date. It's called LIFE. It was developed by the most legendary programmer ever, GOD. It has lush, realistic outdoor environments that seem to stretch on forever. there are really no words that can discribe the quality of this pure classic
pros:
endless areas to explore, unique leveling and crafting system, enjoyable experience, runs fast on most configurations, large modding community, tons of DLC

cons:
lack of saves, death is permanent and often pointless, initial stats are randomly generated and can't be changed, outdated controls, no protection against spammers, can be boring after few years of gameplay

and the developer's legal team is mostly composed of complete assholes

overall: 7/10

this is the best thread ever

haha i'm weird. but, it's relevant... i think. anyway this thread is the funniest damn thing i've seen all day and i'm gonna keep it going... or try.

The Life

i should be looking for a box to place myself in
it seems like reality just ain't my friend
but i try to stay optimistic and just pretend
that life has just a beginning but just no end
and i try to keep it all real
look up at the sky like it's no big deal
and i try to just pretend
that god looks over people until life ends
but it's irrelivent because life does
and i remember all i've seen that just leaks blood
but still i pretend
that life has just a beginning but just no end
and i wish i could just be cautious
smoking up my cigarettes
looking at the ones with the holes in their necks making me nautious
and i act like it's no big deal
faking all my feelings pretending i'm real
choking up on all of this smoke
knowing that lifes just one big joke
but i pretend it's ok
acting invulnerable and then i pray
because i just don't know
just what kind of disease or mental hell my body might grow
but i'm a man so i let it go
and remind myself that we're all the same
so i don't worry until it effects my brain ... and i can't
then i'm laying in a casket and you chant
and that just makes it better
because i knew life didn't last forever
so that's the best i get
the only thing real that you didn't invent
so maybe it's ok even though i think it's not
all those years just waiting for the rot
and the world tells me i need to make it better
with a pile of cash distributed in equal measure
or atleast make life so good i can show off
and watch you sit there in the rot
because that's just the way we are
a bunch of fucking careless stars
but it's not so bad
we care for our friends but maybe noone else
and this gives us our sense of self
and that's exactly what we need
even though our lives our fueled by greed
and our greed does give us acceptance
and if we don't have that then we seek vengence
because life doesn't last forever
and if you're wrong about your beliefs
how does life get better?
not knowing must be why i'm always pissed
sitting around wondering what it's like to not exist
but still i pretend
that life has just a beginning but just no end
hoping i exist in a heaven or a hell
because how do you explain nothingness to 6 billion people who won't stay still
and it's probably best to just copy
and do as the romans do
because it's bad enough to be me and even worse to be you
and i think these things not because of what i've been taught
but watching people trying to ward me off
multitudes of people to afraid to talk
as if i make up their minds
by showing up and i just say hi
and they remain paranoid
protecting theirselves from the endless void
and i don't blame them
but i look at them and their just like me
destroying theirselves when someone sees them
and regretting their choices when everyone leaves them
and then we get over it
but still i pretend
that life has just a beginning but just no end
and it will always be ok
because i'm stuck in my body
and you're stuck in yours
and for that disease there is no cure
and it's sad
so if you don't like living with yourself then it's all bad
and you'll be told to make life better to
but around so many people who can't stop
it doesn't really matter what you do
but still i pretend
that life has just a beginning but just no end
because what happened yesterday
we'll soon forget
the important shit will be written down
and that is the end
so i just sit here and i just wait until i am dead
and i have to convince myself there is something else
as i'm forced to crawl up inside my head

i hear alcohol messes with the frame rate is that true? also, why was the game released early with no beta testing?
added on the 2009-05-30 06:31:14 by hexen hexen
Because it was fast-coded with a 7 days deadline.
Fortunately, patches came quickly.

Unreal (singleplayer) by far the best!

Life is like a video game with no chance to win.

I'd rather play pong than try "LIFE"

life is overrated

There is no such thing as god and life is just an illusion of your braincells. And even if Jesus wanted to play something it would be...

All the resource management kills the gameplay.

Cracking:
The cracking, packaging and spreading this game is at this point impossible. Not because of sophisticated protections, but because everyone has it is own copy.
Even if some "routines" are from time to time common.

Training:
Some games have been trained with the feature "unlimited money", some by "always win the level", some by other features.
The most desirable trainer for the majority shall be "Unlimited money" together with "Unlimited energy" or "sprite collision off"?.
Believing in reincarnation we have some kind of "unlimited life" and "starting from death point position" option. But these trainers, in some conditions, need to be fixed, at least about starting-again questions with all the experience and memory, and starting from the point of death.

Actually .. there are NO CHEATS AVAILABLE .. quite a shame ):

I like this thread very much :)

But the reason why I was fond of video games as a child was exactly that I was restricted in my abilities as a child. I was not able to run as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog, not able to jump as high as the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, not able to fly like Super Mario when he got the feather, etc. That's why I loved video games. They gave me the power to realize my dreams - or at least to get an illusion of such.

AI is total dumbfuck that completely ruins the gameplay.

You can't even re-roll your character stats. Low str, int, charm? Tough luck, chief.

Also, NO SAVE POINTS. :(

Unlike the store release of Carmageddon, when you run someone over the blood is actually red and not green.
