you could just go outside every once in a while.

A game recently greenlit called “One Life”.

It’s basically a simple FPS with the usual stuff. The “twist” is that you only have one life in the game. Once you die… that’s it.
I don’t understand how this will work.

7063

Einhander, please.

FPS coming out called One Life. When you die, that’s fucking it.

edit: damn, I should have looked up, like 2 fucking posts lol

7065

if you live in a place where you can inspect tifa’s boobs then please show me

Why would I buy a game I can play any where from 10 minutes to 100 hours, and never be able tot play again? It’s like paying some assclown to just go outside and experience life for me.

7067

That’s the dumbest idea for a game I’ve ever heard. I ain’t gonna waste money on a game I can’t replay.

7068

Not only can you not replay it… you don’t have any idea how long you can play it going in.

7069

Probably will go free to play…first hit is free. But if you want to play again you’ll have to buy it. Every time you die you’ll have to buy a new life.
Being ultra hardcore and having no way to ever replay the game would just be counter productive. People wouldn’t buy it. Or if they did, and died under two hours (which is very likely for a "hardcore survival game), they’d just get a steam refund.
Even if they were averse to making money, and they were adamant in stopping any way of subverting the “one life ever” system by blocking multiple accounts…people would just pirate it, if they really wanted another go.
Besides, aren’t these online survival games often REALLY, REALLY glitchy at launch? Can you just imagine the shitstorm if people are paying 20 bucks to get stuck in a wall, get murked and then being told “too bad so sad”?
Or think of how the online community will be very quickly become a ghost town since you know…people aren’t going to be able to play it.

My money is on “ultra hardcore permadeath” being just marketing and as time goes along, the penalties for death will be reduced.

Hey, at least if you die within 2 hours, you can get your money back by Steam refunds.

7071

Hmm, the arcade model on a PC game. Weird.

7072

Best comment is “Capture a person and imprison them. Then kill them after 2 hrs have passed.”

7073

I think if you only had one life per DAY that would be more interesting than one life period. You could pay X for the game and get insta killed by a spawn camper. I think the game will end up being a boring campfest if it even holds anyone’s interest and will be overrun with cheaters. If the game had a highlander mode season where everyone had to play X hours per week to stay in and there would be one final player that would be pretty fun.

Okay…here is what I have so far:

Half Life 2
Saints Row 2
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
Torchlight II
Sleeping Dogs (not the remaster)
METAL SLUG 3
Minimum (x3)
Lethal League

Looking to figure out how to offload them…

7075

If you want, send me metal slug 3. I love playing that game when I’m home doing nothing.

7076

I do wish I have sleeping dogs away. I never play that

7077

I’ll take Serious Sam off your hands.

7078

see, Smashbro29? all that crying you were doing and i already have those games. maybe this will teach you a lesson on tact.

i’m dying at his scream after he screams “a million ball speed”

EDIT:

i really dig the premise of this game. i’d like to watch it, though. not play.

7079

Wow man, you have a lot of games. We should be friends.

7080

This seems like one of the greatest games ever. I must play this
