Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

It's free

The fuck it is! Life costs a hell of a lot more than any video game out there.

[–]MrMcQuone 125 points126 points ago

It's F2P but its also P2W

[–]GeneReyva 18 points19 points ago*

Yeah, unless you're trained and can live in the woods and be a crazy man that travelers tell tails tales about. Then it's F2W too.

I swear it was an April's Fools that no one ripped my innards out over that fuck up...

[–]MrMcQuone 12 points13 points ago

Quite obviously l33t pro. Love that guys montages.

[–]Timthos 2 points3 points ago

That's like doing a Final Fantasy run with full starter gear and no level ups.

[–]Inquisitor1 0 points1 point ago

Fucking campers.

[–]Inquisitor1 0 points1 point ago

Because they are camping, in the woods, you know?

[–]seashanty 14 points15 points ago

That's if you pay for the DLC, you can play the base game for free. Doesn't last very long though.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points ago

Fucking random events, forced DLC for food and drink, constant cleaning of hardware. Bitch, please. This is like Sims 4.

[–]Tactful 8 points9 points ago

It's more like Mass Effect; no matter how you live your life, still ends the same way.

[–]JonnyTrump 0 points1 point ago

Pft, Sims don't REQUIRE DLC, they just constantly release it every couple weeks it feels like.

[–]ronincowboy 11 points12 points ago

No shit! I just got the "Wife" DLC and damn was it expensive! Fun to play though.

[–]dmahan 3 points4 points ago

Ah shit man, you got that outdated DLC? You should have spent your money on the "friends with benefits" DLC, you get so many more choices!

[–]Tactful -1 points0 points ago

Your parents should have chipped in for that abortion DLC however many years ago you were conceived.

[–]hedeman 0 points1 point ago

This one quote is from the motion picture Unforgiven: ...Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

[–]Inquisitor1 0 points1 point ago

Fucking microtransactions and realmoneybuy for freaking everything!

[–]Izenhart 0 points1 point ago

Not if you're a 15 years old kid like the one who wrote this, that probably never earned a single dollar since his birth

[–]Socialmessup 0 points1 point ago

Cant wait until I beat this game. A lot of of friends gave up already. Luckily they didnt team kill before they died, they just bought a noose from one of the in game markets and ended it :(

[–]Squatso 0 points1 point ago

If you are an adult living in Massachusetts, for example, it is immediately more expensive.

[–]BronzeSword -1 points0 points ago

Yea but there is no DLC!

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Kyrgizion 26 points27 points ago

I might be able to enjoy it more if there weren't so goddamn many cheaters and botters. So many players are constantly bragging about being high lvl - yeah, very hard when you just took over the char your dad has been playing for years. Some of us actually have to lvl our own chars you know.

As it stands, I might cancel my subscription soon if this doesn't change.

[–]AboveThee 10 points11 points ago

Are you really gonna let the cheaters and botters stop you from reaching MAX level? I mean come on get out there. Spend some time boosting your intelligence. Farm gold. Own battlegrounds.

Quit working on your video game experience it's already maxed out.

[–]zhiarod 1 point2 points ago

I really like this comment, it hit a serious chord with me.

[–]CrayonOfDoom 0 points1 point ago

I make bots for the game of life, AMA.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]thisismyivorytower 1 point2 points ago

At least it does have multiple endings, from player to player.

[–]victordavion 0 points1 point ago

It also sucks, I got rushed early and already lost the game, but I can't surrender and restart. I just have to sit and suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer.

[–]Raptorace22 0 points1 point ago

I'm not even high yet, and I thoroughly enjoyed your comment...which is rare these days. I simply felt the anonymity of a single upvote was not enough so I crafted this comment to further express my appreciation. Have a nice day.

[–]KaptainLulz 46 points47 points ago

Graphics are amazing but the storyline sucks

[–]ashadocat 19 points20 points ago

Graphics are good but the aesthetics are crap.

[–]vaginal_cream 3 points4 points ago

that was a really great video. thanks for sharing!

[–]Abrum 30 points31 points ago

I don't understand people who play video games 24/7

Maybe it's because the world is so depressing and convoluted nowadays that they prefer to immerse themselves in fantastic magical worlds where you can do almost anything?

[–]Psychol324 1 point2 points ago

Shit man, you definetly described my thoughts about hardcore gamers.

[–]gizza 1 point2 points ago

Or maybe they're just more fun than watching reality TV for 6 hours a day.

[–]Draber-Bien -5 points-4 points ago

Get a life.. loser.

[–]Abrum 3 points4 points ago

I have a life, it's doing what I enjoy doing, not what other people think I should be doing.

[–]Draber-Bien 2 points3 points ago

eerrrrh... sarcasm just don't work in text form.

[–]mixmastermind 14 points15 points ago

Life is not a free game. Life costs $21.51 on Amazon.

[–]mildiii 0 points1 point ago

http://memegenerator.net/instance/17650716

[–]bahamutstevetff 16 points17 points ago

i tried that game, but farming gold was too damn boring.

[–]turbo_chuffa 10 points11 points ago

Life is shit if you're ugly. All the NPCs are hostile and sneer at you.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Character customization is really fucking expensive and time consuming too.

Who the hell wants to spend hours on a treadmill or calorie count minigame?

[–]ReLiFeD 17 points18 points ago

The difficulty on that game is TOO DAMN HIGH!!!

[–]ajantis 5 points6 points ago

Also it has more bugs than a Bathesda game. Broken quests everywhere you fulfill every prerequisite but somebody's nephew gets the promotion all the time. Physics can get buggy as well, that double rainbow bug was really bad. Also quantum mechanics needs to be patched asap.

[–]Draber-Bien 1 point2 points ago

Nuclear fusions badly needs a nerf too, the DPS of the atom bomb is waay to OP!

[–]spacesoutmidsentence -5 points-4 points ago

IT'S PAST GODDAMN ASIAN!!

[–]Eliminos 9 points10 points ago

I tried it. The graphics were overhyped and the physics engine could with some work.

[–]Devil_Doc 4 points5 points ago

Could also do with some modding tools.

[–]Draber-Bien 5 points6 points ago

or a quicksave feature.. god I miss a quicksave feature:(

[–]rakantae 4 points5 points ago

No respawn + shitty ending. Terrible game.

[–]omega2079 29 points30 points ago

What console is that on?

Console? lol. It's on pc.

[–]Zombie_Twatz 1 point2 points ago

You can play it on Xbox as well.

[–]MrBeg1ner 1 point2 points ago

It might go cross-platform soon.

[–]durium 6 points7 points ago

life is NOT free..

[–]MrAaronian 6 points7 points ago

Most free-2-play games are pretty bad anyway.

[–]Specter8 0 points1 point ago

Tribes is pretty great.

[–]ConsummateK 2 points3 points ago

It was strange when I realized that I got the same sort of satisfaction from progressing in real life as I do in RPGs. Like buying shit for my apartment, totally felt all Animal Crossing.

[–]PsychoAgent 1 point2 points ago

Or realize that driving physics and force feedback from my steering wheel is way more realistic and satisfying in my new car than playing Gran Turismo using the Logitech G27 wheel.

[–]Silvard 2 points3 points ago

Well, the sequel is a PC Exclusive.

[–]Raptorace22 2 points3 points ago

Worst RPG EVER! Fuck this, I'm going back to Skyrim...people like me there...

[–]MrMcQuone 8 points9 points ago

A) Old as hell joke

B) Fuck anyone who uses it, I just turn round and question their favourite activity. Watching them try to justify it is fun, then they realise.

[–]specialk16 -2 points-1 points ago

Except that they are specifically talking about people who play games 24/7.

[–]MrMcQuone 1 point2 points ago

Point would still remain.

[–]OrderInTheChaos 6 points7 points ago

Whoever posted that probably does nothing but facebook.

[–]eindbaas 0 points1 point ago

And that assumption is based on...?

[–]UltimateChicken 0 points1 point ago

People who say things like that and usually do nothing but facebook.

[–]Calderac 1 point2 points ago

With gas over a 4 a gallon now it's cheaper to buy games than go places!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Not a console, it's a boardgame.

[–]Brad3 1 point2 points ago

Life isn't free. EA is the publisher.

[–]Shootz 1 point2 points ago

Just go to that classic argument 'The graphics are sweet but the gameplay sucks'

[–]laemon 1 point2 points ago

But... I am playing that game. I'm playing a level 20 Gamer/Programmer hybrid class.

[–]benYosef 1 point2 points ago

I remember that game. Thats the one where you go around and belittle other peoples hobbies. Oh wait, never mind that was Life 2 aka "Get a Life".

[–]knighmare 1 point2 points ago

what a fucking liar, life is not free

[–]m0arcowbell 1 point2 points ago

The graphics are great, but the story isn't much to talk about...

[–]mudsonjar 1 point2 points ago

I guarantee that person sits on facebook all day.

[–]Battlesheep 1 point2 points ago

No respawn and a shitty avatar? No thanks!

[–]Mr_Winky 1 point2 points ago

Life; great graphics, poor gameplay. rated 5.6 / 10

[–]Scrawly 2 points3 points ago

Those whippersnappers have probably never even seen a board game.

[–]tarashinat 0 points1 point ago

I've played Life before on the PC! Though, calling it "free" is pushing it, considering it came in a cereal box.

[–]Anteres 0 points1 point ago

This person has NO IDEA what they're talking about. Life isn't free because everything has a price be it currency or something else.

[–]Mid_Land 0 points1 point ago

What console is it on?

Earth

[–]SolfirTheHerald -1 points0 points ago

Some people speculate it's also ported to other systems like Europa and Mars.

[–]Draber-Bien 0 points1 point ago

Mars is for casual fags anyway, so who cares.

[–]JNDALOG 0 points1 point ago

It never gets updated and there are to many hacked accounts. Fuck that game!

[–]Iradain 0 points1 point ago

Life is a game

Battle royale?

[–]capitanboots 0 points1 point ago

You can't tell people to experience the real world on Facebook that's not how it works :P

[–]flexiblecoder 0 points1 point ago

The graphics are amazing, but the gameplay sucks!

[–]Cthulhuman 0 points1 point ago

I heard they also have an analog version

[–]AzuraBlitz 0 points1 point ago

Life is a game, and video games are like an expansion pack, I have to fork out an extra stack of cash but it's worth it.

[–]HairlessSasquatch 0 points1 point ago

It's a board game. It may also be one of those cereal box pc games

[–]JipJopJones 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure Life is actually about $39.99 or something like that. But it's still a killer board game. I always liked the spinner rather than dice, it's a cool feature.

[–]epmca 0 points1 point ago

this really isn't that funny.

[–]ionfrigate 0 points1 point ago

Just leaving this here.

[–]NookNookNook 0 points1 point ago

Where is the reset button? I need to re-roll my char...

[–]CameronVa 0 points1 point ago

So...are video games actually just mini games in the game of life?

[–]McShizzL 0 points1 point ago

I love the PVP on this game

[–]firebolt223 0 points1 point ago

Life isn't free

[–]LibrarianKay 0 points1 point ago

And, take it away Wonka.

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3okuvt/

[–]CakeDispenser 0 points1 point ago

Life? I don't play that shitty board game.

[–]WingedBacon 0 points1 point ago

Free? I haven't had good experiences with free games.

[–]TheWac0Kid 0 points1 point ago

I don't remember where I was when I realized life was a game.

The more seriously I took things, the harder the rules became.

[–]Vytral 0 points1 point ago

It would be a great game if the F5 button weren't bugged and we could actually use it!

[–]I2obiN 0 points1 point ago

Fuck life

[–]ExOAte 0 points1 point ago

Life doesn't have Save games.. fuck it

[–]Cameron_Sonntag 0 points1 point ago

I'll stick with Minecraft. With that game, Hardcore mode is OPTIONAL.

[–]HarlequinnAsh 0 points1 point ago

its a board game and its not free unless you rob toys r us

[–]corr0sive 0 points1 point ago

Uhhh its alright. They have it locked down pretty bad with DRM, so your forced to paying taxes on the amount of money you get, and obey stupid fuckin laws by asshole NPC-bot cops who dont listen to any sort of reason, AND, get this; Everytime they do something, they respond 'Just doing my job.".

OH thats another shitty DLC, MONEY, wtf is this paper shit? Now its not even paper, its all electric. And you had to get in order to play with everyone else. Its total bullshit. We used to be able to just harvest food and live on your own, and be with people. Now we have to buy shit, and everyone seems to just drone on with work and money. Its like they dont want to do it, but they just keep jacking up the level, and inflating the HP of products, so you HAVE to level up to keep playing with friends.

Does anyone know how to revert to a previous patch/version? Are there any hacker servers that we can play on without this shitty DRM?

[–]Asterisk007 0 points1 point ago

You guys are cheesy, lol.

[–]Bryguy100 0 points1 point ago

Hrmph... Life isn't free at all- gaming is much cheaper than going out every night I'd bet (though that'd vary.)

[–]ballz2dawallzmo 0 points1 point ago

Not the way I live life!!!!!

[–]HeHeHeGS 0 points1 point ago

I have allergies so the graphics give me a headache....

[–]JonnyTrump 0 points1 point ago

it's free too

Yeah, but the required DLC is a killer, and it's not too fun without other expensive things.

[–]bsukenyan 0 points1 point ago

Who wants to play a boardgame over and over again 24/7??

[–]clonsiah 0 points1 point ago

nothing in life is free,what is he talking about?!

[–]Blulightning 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like the prequel to Second Life.

[–]NickGraves 0 points1 point ago

If life is a game that gentleman is losing.

[–]Bark_Montgomatree 0 points1 point ago

You think this is a fucking game!

[–]That_Is_Fake 0 points1 point ago

Good one OP, you can't forward slash on Google Tap.

[–]DepletionRegion 0 points1 point ago

And the only winning move is not to play!

[–]AimLXJ 0 points1 point ago

That person doesn't understand that game time is fun time for others and fun time is never a waste of time.

[–]SpaceFaceOn 0 points1 point ago

I've only heard of the sequel...

[–]Cat_Mulder 0 points1 point ago

It's actually a board game.

[–]p0rtugalvii 0 points1 point ago

It's a board game. It's alright, I guess.

[–]Yude 0 points1 point ago

I already play it! http://img.brothersoft.com/screenshots/softimage/g/game_of_life-142413-1.jpeg

[–]TomcatFury 0 points1 point ago

I hear the sequel REALLY sucks...

[–]Stormdancer 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I played it for a while. They totally need to nerf guns... they're way too OP. Two-hit kills? Even one-hits insta-kill? That's crazy.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Whoever knows that person, Please beat them in the face.

[–]NolanRoss 0 points1 point ago

It's on PC you fucking peasant.

[–]ghudbash 0 points1 point ago

Relevant.

[–]gameking9777 -1 points0 points ago

I went outside once the graphics sucked.

[–]alahos -2 points-1 points ago

Can't wait for the awesome 4/20 mod!

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]qwerqs3 2 points3 points ago

not sure if serious

[–]laemon 0 points1 point ago

But there is a way... You haven't been here long have you?

[–]IEntendu -1 points0 points ago

Long enough to seem a post about games and go " oh another "
