Game Review (in progress) - Real Life

This is a work in progress, I have the dreaded writers block.

Release Date: Unknown
Price: Unknown, but very expensive.
Age Rating: All (0+)
Developer: Unknown.
Programmers: Unknown, however some people use the name God, and others use names such as Allah, and Zeus.

Graphics - 10/10
Sound - 10/10
Game play - 2/10
Story - 1/10

Background: This is a massive MMORPG style game that has literally taken over the world. I have been playing for years and I seem to be addicted as I just can't stop. You play as one character, and interact with literately everyone and everything, it's a very slow paced game, with many rules but few limits, most things are possible, but equally one mistake can block most storylines.


Character selection: This is a failure, it's a major flaw of the game as you're dependant on another player or two, bringing you into the world and you don't get to choose when or where. You're assigned a random race, based on the players who made you, and you come into the world at a random time, in a random place. All your attributes and personality are pre-decided as is your appearance. Changing your character appearance and attributes is hard later one, appearance can be changed slightly. Personality is shaped at birth and moulded by other players, attributes are similar however some are capped.


Now dying here can be quite easy, this is when you're in what's called the infant class which I will fully explain later. You are fragile and stupid, however there are perks as this woman who cares for you may show your her breasts frequently when you cry, she will also almost obsivelly get you naked. You' can't do anything for yourself, but you grow into a small child and gradually become independent. Sometimes there is a man who either helps, or solely cares for you, this is called 'dad' the woman one is called 'mum' they teach you everything for the first four years. Toilet skills, talking, walking, simple tasks really but you're born to stupid to know this. Again a major flaw.

School

The story is long, and due to the lack of interface is it easy to miss vast chunks, and when you are born it is down to mum and/or dad to explain the back story to you, however they may choose not to. This is where school starts to come in, but this also depends on region and can depend on gender in certain areas, and the things they teach vary widely in other countries. The rest of your life will depend on this section which really seems to drag on, you enter in the child class and leave when you are in the teenage class.

Currency

The currency system is highly flawed, there are many currencies depending on your region, and in one area called Europe they tired a single currency and it didn't work either. Money isn't really relevant until the end of  child class as up until that point mum and/or dad buy and earn everything. Finding money is hard, you need to do this thing called work, and then you have to spend money, sometimes lots to avoid dying. It is easy to overspend or under earn, either can be fatal.

World

The map is too big, there are too many regions, too many races and too many languages. The processer for this game must be amazing. Which region you are born in or live in can mean the difference between life and death, and the world changes massively in each small area, you can also travel but the travel systems are flawed and slow.

Introduction

Hello, hallo, salut, hola, salve, fuck I'm out of languages.

So, welcome to my blog. My name is George, I'm 14 and I live in a desolate small town in south England that I have a strong hated for. I like a few weird things, my sister is some kind of crazy earth child, tree fucking hippie, in the body of a stretch marked, anorexic goth. Or as she says, a vegetarian called Andi, anyway, her crazy environmentalism has had a pretty big impact on my life and way of thinking, and she very into natural parenting and lifestyle, I find it really cool and would like to do the same kind of things. I also like video games way too much and I'm addicted to my Nintendo 3DS. I would play more retro GBA games, but Andi won't let me near them. I like reading factual books, but have a hard time getting into fiction. Oh, and I love scenery, real scenery and history.

I hate maths and stupid people, and crying babies, my sister's baby seems to do this a lot.

So that's the first post for my blog, I'm not really sure what's coming, I'm not sure if anyone will read it, and I have no idea what I will write about, but I guess I should try and keep it up. I've got some organic apples coming into harvest so I think they'll possibly be my next post, I'm also trying to learn cooking so might write about that if I don't burn myself to death first. Maybe I'll do book reviews and things too, who knows?
So here's a picture of me that Andi took when we went to Scotland.
