I'm on the High School level right now. It's so hard to get the "Good" path, so much temptation. So far though, I've managed to keep my nose clean. Does anyone know the cheat to get your Rep back up after doing the nasty with a tree at school?

SHOULD you get your rep back after doing the nasty with a tree?
I hooked up with slightly less than pretty young women in my high school days, but never a tree.
Did it call you the next day?
j/k
High School rep points aren't important at all. The game changes completely after that level and Rep points reset to zero and you start all over.
Just remember to drop some skill points into studying instead of pouring them all into the Keg Stand skill, and the later levels will be easier. You can then dump a whole lot of skill points into the party based skills without going broke.

I was a low level, I needed the Gold Pieces. At least I used protection, nut the guards caught me an charged me with Inappropriate sexual conduct on school grounds.

Hmm I had a suspicion this was all some bullshit joke.

Care to elaborate?

To quote a mod: "stop shiting up our Forums"

For anybody becoming bored with Real Life, I highly recommend leaving the single player experience behind. I started playing co-op mode with a partner ten year or so ago and we cemented that into an official in game alliance 4 years ago, and among the many advanatges is that you can use each others skills and feats in a complimentary manner. My co-op partner took the "good with money" feat, which I wasn't able to do since my patience stats is only moderate to low. On the other hand, I was able to take the "good with people" and "dealing with jerks" feats. It's worked very well, in general principle. Co-op mode changes the nature of the game entirely, but make sure you like your co-op partner. Nothing is worse than a bad co-op partner.

What is this?

Real Life is clearly a single-player RPG, running in the Real World. I regretfully inform you that your "partner" was little more than AI, and could not have done a large amount of the things you claim she did.

Well, it's a *mostly* single player experience sometimes, but even FF2 had a co-op mdoe where a second player could control some members of the party. The Real Life situation is vaguely similar. As a general rule, rela life is more sophisticated than most if its fellow rpg's.

This is true, Chilango; however, to date, there has been no documentation of multiplayer support in Real Life.

You, perhaps, are thinking of a different game. Perhaps the expansion pack, Society?

only 5.1 surround? on your soundcard maybe. i got 129600.1!

Really, if Jack Thompson should be complaining about any game, it should be Real Life.

Yeah...
And my version of Life came broken, now I have to wear $300 +7 Goggles all the time. (Aka glasses)
And Purple Rain is half right. It's not specifically an FPS, just an First Person... something.

yeah real life is a great game....waaaay to much grind though

and some things that were promised did not appear in the game. Honestly have you SEEN the screenshots with the giant lizard things? That would have been an awesome feature!

I sure hope the rumours of the sequel:Afterlife are true.

Hmm, personally, I think it's a tad overrated. Sure, the video card is great, but the user-created level designs are usually pretty terrible... there's only a little pre-made content left, and more of that is getting overwritten every day. Plus, while there's a few intelligent players, most of the player base are jerkwads. Speaking of which, cheaters and griefers are MUCH more prevalent than the Gamespot review let on (hmm, Gamespot glossing over a game's less-fine points, no that doesn't sound familiar at all... ^_^;).

Plus, the grind in this game is what biases me against the grind in most other MMOs... I think "this grind feels a little too close to Real Life to me" and it puts me off... very traumatic. Earning money is really tedious as well. However, cheating isn't that difficult, and in the player-nation I'm in (some weird place called "the USA"), cheating is actually rewarded pretty heavily in this economic substructure. So that's negative points, even though it's easier than in most games.

Plus, I always hate games that bill themselves as free, but tack on a lot of hidden charges.

Still, some of the minigames are fun. But overall, I don't know if it's worth it. Seems like a lot of advertising over a mundane experience, to me.

General Mostly Electrified Steel:

What is this /b/?

Is it that you mean that this has been done /b/fore?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but suffice it to say that it's considered one of the "Assholes of the Internet".

Fuck me it takes ages to regenerate health in this game. And those who didnt buy the premium version and dont have white avatars i feel sorry for.

Oh, and incidentally, many game designers who prefer to make "realistic-looking" games (and the self-styled "hardcore" gamers who play said games) have criticized the graphics in this game for being too cartoonish.
Apparently there are all sorts of colors around besides brown and gray, and that's just not realistic, plus there are some surface textures on some objects that are NOT incredibly shiny and bloom-filled. They need to work on that, get rid of all these fancy colors and make the surfaces more reflective, then it'll look real.
