Real life sucks. Why would you want a real life computer game? Just go outside,
buy things and interact with real people. Good grief. The only thing that sounds
remotely fun in that design spec is going on a deadly rampage with your car, and
for some reason you've outlawed that...
The whole point of games is escapism. I don't want to escape into an exact
facsimile of my life where I have a job and and whatever else... now if I could
fly, travel between planets, race cars/boats/planes/X-Wings, fight, blow stuff
up, command armies, conquer worlds and suchlike in a realistic environment
shared with real people from around the world, forming alliances or making
enemies, THAT would be something.
