They probably don't care about you all that much. It wouldn't make sense to send the Big Bad's elite bodyguard squad to take care of some random errand.Rpground said:
In any universe applicable, unrealistic effects can be attributed to magic, mass effect fields or FUCKING MAGNETS.
Sam Fisher's green lights aren't actually there. They're just a player aid like his nonexistent head's up display.
Why do so many vehicles in GTA IV have knackered tyres? I'm talking mostly about the 4x4's here although some of the smaller vehicles also seem to have radials made from lard and KY-Jelly too.
I try to avoid the 4x4's wherever possible as they are slow* and everyone knows that anyone who drives a 4x4 in the city, rather than offroad, is a colossal knobhead. However they all have rather fat tyres and, at slow speeds at least, they can negotiate corners without understeering off the road and into a post-box. Seriously, I was driving Playboy X's Hummer (well that's what it blatantly is, despite being called a "Patriot" in the games) and the first turn, taken at a rough speed of 30mph saw the damn thing slither halfway past the turn and I wound up rear-ending a cop car.

* Well compared to most cars they are. That said, whilst out yesterday I found myself behind a Range Rover Sport packing a supercharged V8. When the lights turned green, despite the RR weighing approximately a million tonnes, it was off like a rocket!

She wants to be kidnapped. Honest. Either Bowser is that good of a conversationalist or she's just really bored.henritje said:
Isn't necromancy illegal in every game? Even though the main character uses it? I figure it's just because undead are gross.vxicepickxv said:
Alright, why do merchants buy everything you sell, in RPGs? I sold sticks, pelts, gems, pots and pans to the same damn merchant. What does he do with those?
Why don't most heroes retire? After looting every dungeon and saving the world, they are suddenly, in the next game, weak and poor again. Dammit, they should have had a harem and three mansions with all that loot.
Also, who refills the dungeons with said loot or who goes around lighting the torches in said dungeons. And who abandons a graveyard anyway?
Why does a ten foot fall in Prince of Persia do more damage than a SWORD to the face? One lands you a broken leg IRL, and the other is DEATH. In game, it's the opposite.
Why is the lack of a health bar considered to be realistic? A health bar isn't realistic, but the current substitute (bloody screen) is even worse.
Double jumps.
I mean, once you're airborne, what do you use to jump off again?
reloads.
With still 12 rounds in your clip, you reload and you have a full clip again. those 12 rounds just pop out of the clip and fill others or something?
Why are some many things bulletproof that really shouldn't be.
Wooden boxes? you can break those with a crow bar!
Why can't I do anything as new HeadMage in Oblivion after completing the mage guild?
And for that matter, why do I have steel my OWN staff, who I never seen before, in the thieves guild later on? And when they say they returned it.... nah uh.

When aiming sniper rifles, why does your entire vision turn into the scope? You shouldn't need your entire eye to use the scope, you should be able to see vaguely the world around you.

Same reason why a guy can kill legions of monsters, or super man can fly, its part of the fiction and you get over it quickly.Leemaster777 said:
As far as FO3 goes it has random generated content in stuff, sometimes things are empty sometimes they are not and as you are the only great explorer they fate tosses you that bone and gives you that lush flat soda.....randomly.
Suspension of belief, its good enough to have the simple reload other wise you will have to load your clips/mags.Ranorak said:
How did Lara Croft (from the older, er, 'inflatable Lara' era) manage every time to pull herself up onto a ledge, straight from hanging, without arching or leaning to get around her bust? Seriously, she must have scraped them off by around half time... my sister and I always used to ponder this as we played the games =P
