Alright now this game would be massive.

It would be set in a city. Huge city. Present day.

It would be a MMOLG.

You would just live your life as a regular citizen, of course you could be as evil/law abiding as you would want to be. The career choices would work themselves out, saying if there were way to many criminals (as I'm sure there would be) the community would realize this and start to advertise careers as law enforcement. Say the economy is down because people are realizing that being a business man is rather boring, the community would advertise more contributing careers. There would of course be a massive character modification section so that you look completely different from everyone else. And of course there could be a political section of the game, say your character wants to run for office. You could rent an apartment, or buy a house in the suburbs. For injuries you would have to spend realistic hours in a hospital. The list goes on and on.

Discuss.

i think it would be bad ass

Cool idea. Too bad it would be impossible.

tl;dr

So basically, An expanded version of the Sims, with multiplayer.

I wouldn't buy it.

it actually sounds really fucking boring.

these days, most video games try to be as close to that as possible. the day that most games ARE as close to that as possible...I'd probably just stick to a real life, instead.

So what you want is a game where you live an alternate version of your own life, except without the work and graphic masturbation/sex.

Welcome to R/L.

This has been thought of before.

My thoughts exactly

Sounds like a blast.

No. No thanks.

This may be the worst idea in all of video game history.

it's called 'second-life'
