StaceyPowers Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 What are some professions you would like to see job simulator games made for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Police simulation to understand things that go wrong in the killings of civilians especially those of color. Thinking on it, there should be a job simulation for all jobs. It could be something to play at home if a kid or adult has an interest in something. I had no direction in life and maybe simulation games can replace lost aptitude that parents fail at nurturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This is a tough one - maybe a politician simulator game so that we can run the country fairly instead of prioritizing the rich at the expense of the poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I wonder if they can make a court and judiciary simulator game where we will have an independent court of law they observe the rule of law to the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely like that kind of politician simulator games because I feel that these politicians needs to see how gamers want them to be played in how to do their jobs.

Police isn't really my favorite subject. I hate having anything to do with them. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 They already have a police simulator game, a firefighter Sim, and a bunch of others. A lot of them are probably awful lol. But I think some go for realism and are fun. Just depends on what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they made anything close to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks nice. I'm going to check it on my PS4 and if it's good for the price, I can simply get and try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Yeah, I know that you are currently playing on PS4, so it's a good one to try out unless the police chase isn't realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think that something big should be done for doctor simulation game on consoles. There is one in steam but with no reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) If you ask me there are already WAY to many of those games as it is. In many cases you can barely describe them as games at all. Edited April 28, 2022 by Crazycrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) These simulator games never appealed to me because they all have the same problem. I've talked very recently about how video games should be considered as entertainment media and should be allowed to offer the same varied experiences to all sorts of people, but the interactive nature of the platform dose make them different. Rather than being a pure observer, a video game (or at least any good video game) grants you the chance to fantasize at being someone else, more specifically the very someone else in that game's story or situation. I call it the empowerment factor. If a game fails to do that, then it fails full stop. Now, a game does not have to be a based on a fantasy to make this work. Who doesn't dream of being the F1 World Champion, winning the Superbowl, being the main event at Wrestlemania or winning the Champions League? Even though those things are real, they are still the dreams and fantasies of millions, if not billions of people. That is the base appeal of simulation games. To be someone or achieve something that you won't in real life. This is fairly straightforward in the aforementioned sport simulation games or fantasy based games, but it's much harder to do this when they simulate a job. You know, the kind of job people do because they get paid for it! Who would then pay money to do that very thing? Even if it is the kind of job a kid dreams of being like a policeman, firefighter or even a pilot, the reality rarely lives up to the fantasy, if ever. So game developers can do one of two things. Lean towards the fantasy within the real life occupation, or focus on making it as real as possible, a true simulation. You can't please both crowds. So I don't see the point in these sim games. To work as a video game, they can either deliver a boring, disappointing dose of reality, or an unrealistic fantasy that would be called called out immediately by the hardcore crowd. Maybe there is an appeal to them that I just don't get, but I can't think of any reason why they could really have mass appeal.

Family sedan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think it would be fun to have a barber simulation and shave people's heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
