Another Life RP Scam? An Early Access look at 'Live the Life'

[@BigfryTV]

This game is.....very very lukewarm....with a side of mediocre. Thanks for watching! Support the Channel for only $0.99 a month! bit.ly/2rthLfv Live the Life Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/1373220/Live_the_Life/

IM DEAD When you started just PLOWING the energy drinks 😭🤣

[@pnute6331]

It needs polishing, tbh I think it has a lot of potentials but 20 dollars is way too high for what it is now.

[@HRAZZI]

you should've realized! this game has resolved the 'driver free safety feature' the cars are so well programmed, No one got hit! LOL

[@Barzarel]

Not overly surprised. Had my early concerns when the trailer mostly featured very basic stuff as taking a shower and buying stuff, over actually showing more gameplay in general and social interactions. It made me think it's going to be a tedious work grind, with juggling needs and buying apartment stuff, I didn't see much indications there were gonna be many social interactions, clubbing and other activities than work and buying.

[@SoullessAIMusic]

it is an asset flip, he is using the first person adventure template that was given away for free some months ago on the UE4 marketplace. You will see the same assets over and over again because those were packs given away prior on the market. The UE4 market gives away a number of assets for free every month. I know cuz I do hobby game design on the side, i cant make assets worth a damn but I am quite good with the UE4 Blueprint node based coding language so I often use assets to make personal games for fun but nothing worth releasing to the public.

[@EricFaries]

From what i'm seeing, this feels more like a tech demo or proof of concept. The main systems are there, but there's not really any actual content yet. If it is just one person, i'd say 2-3 years is a good estimate on bringing the game to something that could be enjoyable and worth looking at, so long as they keep up the work.

[@JTMConceptions]

AAA Developers: Take a few years to develop and release a game with an entire 100+ team studio working on it day-in and day-out to create a game that is usually a straightforward genre game (fps, mmo, third person adventure, racing, etc.) Early Access Developers: Just one dude in his bedroom trying to make a massive rp game with thousands of complex mechanics that all have to work and mesh together to create an experience where literally anything goes. Including but not limited to: Thirst sleep and hunger, eating and dieting, showering and cleaning, clothing and warmth system, day/night cycle, first person and third person mechanics, driving simulation, inventory systems, a multitude of different stores with their own individual operating mechanics, npc behaviors to create a dynamic world, and then moving onto jobs each with their own individual mechanics implemented such as: gas station owner with shop maintenance, mechanic with an entire vehicle crafting system, police officer with its own complete gameplay system with filing reports, arresting perps, weapon mechanics, etc. and a nearly infinite amount of other jobs with their own insanely ridiculous amounts of mini-gameplay structures that all have to work properly and not completely break the game. Oh and that one person developing the game plans to do all of that in 6 months to a year. You know. Developing something AAA developers aren't even capable of developing, and planning on doing it in less than half the amount of time it takes a massive team to create a simple game. And people are absolutely shocked that these games all turn out to be scams.

[@anas4476]

Exactly lol

[@TheOneAndOnlyXanz]

While you are correct about this project being a big undertaking, You listed all the wrong things. A inventory system for example takes maybe 20 minutes to make. It is not complex in the slightest. Adding things like hunger and health, are some of the most basic programming you will ever do. The complex things are creating a netcode that supports a high number of players and optimization to allow for high entity counts. Everything else can be done by someone with maybe a year of games development and a good understanding of the language they are using. Anyway it looks like this game is singleplayer so I guess what I said doesn't really count for this RP game.

[@d.m.9893]

Dude in all seriousness this game looks interesting. I hope the fact that you made this video makes them address some of the issues you've experienced. As well as some of the really dull shit. Seems really empty. As always Great vid tho.

When he asked, "Why does this look so quality?" I wasn't sure if he was trolling or being serious. Either made me ponder hahaha.

RP games just sound boring to me. All you do is walk around, do 3 menial tasks over and over for in game money, buy 1 out of 3 variations of apartments, and then you've 100% completed everything in the game. It also doesn't help that almost all of these games are total scams lol.

[@acev3521]

Because it was just supposed to be a mod for GTA it works when you actually have a decent game under it but when the gameworld is an asset flip it loses the entire point

[@subjectc7505]

That depends on the RP. Sum are like that and some you have a role or purpose.

[@nofox777]

As much as we all love a good big fry trashing of a game, I would love even more a series of you finding unique games that are awesome . You could call it "sleeper games". Talk about a game that don't get the credit it deserves . That would be awesome, there is so many games out there now a days it would be super helpful as well .

Thank you so much bigfry for existing. You covering these suchs bad games gives us inspiring developers example of not what to do in game developing! Perhaps, looking at failing games helps others to not make the same mistakes.

[@alexnitaly764]

I'm talking in general btw I realize you cover too good games, which also helps.

[@ARTemiUSMilitarist]

The reason why SteamVR pops up is probably because the devs didnt bothered to check what plug-ins enabled (there is a SteamVR plug-in that you need to disable or else SteamVR will launch everytime you launch the game) before building shipping build of the game. And since they dont have VR set, it never showed up for them.

[@jessicagray8852]

Gotta review the alpha release success story that is Squad. They were real rough in the start but seeing a dev team go from modding to shotty pre alpha to a already beloved milsim game is amazing

I'm so pissed at Steam for allowing this to continue. But then when I think about it, it begins to make sense from their point of view. Steam earns so much commission from these scams.

Its kinda sad to see that modded GTA V RP manages to be a better Life Simulator than these indie Life RP games. If only they put more effort into their products before releasing them in EA or at least being honest about how long the EA would take (a game like this would take at least 2-3 years of development and work to be somewhat decent. Especially when it's being made by one person or a small group. 12 months don't feel like enough time to polish a game. Im not a gamedev, but i know how hard it is to develop a game, and 12 months is too ambitious for a game like a Life RP. Come on.)

I pefer it to be like gta samp.

[@zaniska2373]

I think this is a step (sort of) in the correct direction. I was so so bummed about identity. That game looked like it was gonna be insane. I hope one day that a game can nail the "life" genre cos atm arma 3 is still the best in the way of that imo. We will see what happens but this game shows some signs of potential and I'd like to see it grow and actually deliver a life game. Doubtful but also hopeful

[@Mercurio2435]

This is the closest one of these EA life sims has come to being functional. Could use better modeling and... a purpose.
