Healing mechanics you never understood

[UberMore]

Actually, it is weird, but not un-understandable (couldn't remember the proper word)

Not using a double negative would help ^_^
"it is weird, but understandable"

Along with Sonic and Mario(in 3d games), I don't quite know why round golden things can bestow invincibility...

Because gold is shiney and no one attacks the shiney!!!

Gears 2. "Whats this? A trail of blood........wow this is long........(5 minutes later) WHERES THE FUCKIN BODY!!" Honestly the bleed out time set to one minute is ridiculous for a game where you lose a pint of blood for every bullet that grazes the hair on your head.

Dynasty Warriors. Blue pots not only make EVERYTHING better but give you magical powers. I think that pot has acid in it.

Left 4 Dead only after someone has been downed. "Oh yeah hey man can you pick me up? This thing that hits like a Mack truck and weighs as much as a oil tanker just slapped my ragdoll ass across the map. Can you just pat me a few times so the maming wont seem so bad and i can continue the mission with bones that look like gravel?" thats how i envisioned it.

Fable 2."Ok im gunna fall down for a minute thennn.......EXPLODE BACK UP no worse for wear! Whats that a scar? Whatever ill get a tattoo and a mask." No death penalty, really peter?

pulling bullets out of yourself in farcry 2

Yeah thats supposed to actually do more damage to your body!

Slash open a plant monster and collect the heart within to add to your 10 hearts.

rainbow six vegas never mind if you heal by standing behind cover if your mates go down just shove a morphine needle in their ass cos obviously morphine is a wonder drug that heals a shotgun blast to the face and makes your troops more alert.

I`ve got 2

In resi 4 and 5 eating coloured plant you find in crates
or
it co-op games wear if you die you friend wil run up and heal you or a timer apears and you apear next to them after 10 seconds, but if its one player you die straight away and have to restart (rainbow six vegas 1+2)

I forgot people who are a lot better armored than you seem to die a lot easier.

So is there any game that has a healing mechanic that DOES sound logical?

Nope. None at all.

 

[blokrokker]

Final Fantasy. Sleeping overnight heals you AND rez's you. Sorta like Fallout.
Bioshock. You die and POOF! Back to life in a closet. =O

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Saints Row 2. You heal yourself with drugs and liquor

 

[blokrokker]

Oh wait one more(sorry)! Psi-Ops. Most games have inventory medkits, but normally you can't use them in MID-FRICKIN'-AIR. In the second boss battle, you get a shipping crate flung at you(telekinesis ftw) and get flung across the arena. If you hit the wall, you die. Unless you whip out a medpack at the last second!

dead rising drinking oj renews your health? even more stomach turning oj and milk... spew

I particularly like any hide-n-heal game, as if a few deep breathes will make the bullets and blood loss go away.

Fallout 3 though, wandering up to a toilet and seeing the "use" option. Now excuse me for thinking this but I honestly thought I would try to flush it, but no instead I take a gobful of heavily irradiated, 300 year old toilet water, the hell?

Drinking water in Prince Of Persia
Apparently after getting a sword shoved up your arse all you need is a little drink.

It gets even more bizarre when the Prince drinks dirty bathwater or sink he just put his foot in.
