Its just getting plain stupid!

It comes to my attention whilst playing Code Veronica X how stupid video games are getting. I am like every one else I love my video games but theirs some things that are just getting out of control, here are some examples.

Claire Redfield's mother from Resident Evil: Code X has been a very busy woman she’s had to make up to ten different pockets for her daughters jeans, but wait when you put something in these pockets the item suddenly shrinks so you can fit up to 4 first aid sprays in just one pocket.
Now seriously Claire’s jeans are so tight I’ll be surprised to see her fit her bus pass in the back pocket, let alone a selection of medical packs and a rocket launcher. I am not asking for a lot just a slight bulge in one of the pockets please!!!!
A round of applause for Metal Gear Solid 2 you can actually see Snake take his handgun out of its holder.

Another thing that really annoys me is the stupid dialogue that normal comes up at the bottom or you hear you character say it, example:
“You cannot use the bazooka here”
“This door is open from somewhere else”
What I want to know is WHY cant I use the bazooka here I would be a great laugh!!!
Who designed the building a blind man?? He’s put the lever a mile and a half away from the actually door!!

Have you ever found yourself in a room on a game surrounded by up to ten people with Uzi’s??? We all have, and we all have taken bullet after bullets from the enemy but still haven’t died only received the mildest loss of health. If you get shot 10 times in the torso YOU SHOULD DIE!!
In the Time Crisis series the bosses take multiple hits in the face but still don’t show any sign of wounds or giving up.
But yet again Meta Gear Solid 2 has done us proud by making you bandage snake up so people wont follow the bloodstains. Very Intelligent.

“You need the red key to proceed pass this door” I hate this phrase and all the different keys you need to find just to get pass one level. Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Gold, and Mustard…the list goes on.
Why can’t we try to blow down the door using the bazooka or burn it down with the flamethrower?
But when we do use the bazooka it doesn’t even scratch the now 6 feet reinforced steel door with a wood look finish.
Can’t we try stuffing in the blue or yellow key card??
Knock to see if anyone will answer from the other side??

Do you find that in games when u kill somebody after about 10 seconds their body suddenly decomposes at an amazing rate and sinks into the floor?
It’s quite satisfying to see a massacre of a room with dead bodies from left to right and you know that you have caused it using just a pizza cutter when suddenly the bodies of your victims disappear right in front of your eyes. This is no trickery from David Blaine but it’s an outrage, I don’t know about you but I love to see my victims piled up on the floor.

But I cant moan about everything (I can try) there are some wonderful games out for all three main consoles like Super Smash Brothers Melee, Halo and the amazing eye candy which is Metal Gear Sold 2.

If you have anything to add just post it.
Looking forward to Prisoner Of War!

There is a diffrence between the game world and the real world but dont we want to make the games we play more real?
So instead of having a four player bullet flying festival onboard of a space age alien ship wouldn't you rather have it down aisle 4 of your local Tesco's??

The thing that really gets up my nose is in adventures when you arrive at a locked door and you need to find a key in order to progress.
But wait, I have a double-barrelled shotgun with explosive shells and a bazooka, so why can't I just take the door of its hindges with my super-arsenal of disgustingly powerful weapons? -
Oh no no no, I have to backtrack and find a little golden key.... stupid!
