"Strange Things In Games"

We've probably all seen it while playing our games, something happens that just doesn't make any sense when you compare what's happened in the game to what would happen if it was for real. Whether it just be an oversight while telling the story

(eg, in Final Fantasy 7 while in Shinra mansion and searching for the safe combination for the last clue Cloud says something is written in invisible ink, then proceeds to read it without any lasers or anything. That's quite some eye sight he's got)

or because of the technological limitations the system has which the game is being played on.

(eg, Why exactly is it in Resident Evil a rocket launcher blast to a wooden door doesn't budge it a single inch yet if you put 2 medals in a statue it slides right open?)


So let's see how many strange things, that don't make any sense, we can come up with that happen in our games.

I'll add another one to get the topic going again from FF7

After Cloud falls off the Sector 7 reactor and plummets a good height down exactly how does falling through a church and onto a bed of flowers stop him from at least breaking some bones? Those are some pretty damn strong flowers i have to say

realistic? dunno how many times i can get shot, then leen against a wall for a while and recover.

The only game which is completely realistic is The Getaway.There are no health meter or bullet counters, there is blood on your character when he gets shot and he moves slowly, and there are variations of movements according to the damage, a lot of malefunctions happen to the car easily and driving just feels so realistic, not to mention that the game actually takes place in a real city, London.

Er... they are superhuman?

In Tekken there are those really cool moves that seem to crack the opponent or twist their bones or crack their vertebral column, then they fall and get up and keep fighting as if nothing happened ?

Er... he has gils?

Also in all video games how can you be shot with bullets, the character shakes for a split of a second, then you just keep playing and all what happens is that your health meter gets a little bit diminished ?

How does Tidus breath underwater ??!!
