Imagine save-scumming in real life.

This so hard, although save points in general would be awesome. Plus extra lives.

Depends on the video game, Sims would be pretty nice tbh as long as it's not being played by a fucking asshole

But you can get a job in 5 minutes, then get promotions weekly, get fit af in like a week, become an expert chef in a couple weeks, fall in love with pretty much anyone in the matter of a couple days, your kids are self reliant in maybe month iirc

Real life would be a roguelike. Autosave, no predicting what's going to come at you, and the odds are stacked against you unless you got lucky with the RNG at the beginning.

I wish 1-Up mushrooms were real.

There's no way any real person could survive in a video game world. Too many psychopath players.

I think i'd be fine with and enjoy it if it was in the Pokmon world :D

Good luck trying to ban hackers...

On the plus side I'd never take a shit or piss again. Well unless I'm a sim.

Casinos would have an infinite amount of money.

"I'm sorry sir, we just got the lab results back and... well, I'm afraid there's no easy way to say this: you have stage 4 cancer."
"Oh, that's fine, I'll just have my wife book us a room at the inn tonight."
"No, sir, I'm sorry, but... it's story-related..."
"...oh no..."
"I suggest you start getting your affairs in order and make sure you have all your valuables unequipped."
"How long do I have?"
"Based on these results? Three cutscenes. Maybe four, if you're lucky."

I can't recall the last game I played that had me holding a button to run. Maybe an Assassin's Creed, but I guess that's more gameplay related to the stealth element. If there's even a button at all nowadays, it's usually a toggle and on the left stick.

the older gta games you had to tap x to keep running. i think gta v is the only one where you can just hold it. gta 3 - gta iv you had to tap the button.

Well, time to go screw around doing sidequests, for about forty years.

^Was about to say exactly this
