Inconsistencies in Games

[AdjectiveAnimal]

wahat I mean is stuff in games that happens but has nothing to show for it or just doesn't make sense. Like in Jak 2 and 3 how Jak is so short to everyone else, or how in the original Mario Brothers how Mario would stomp the conquered castle only to appear right next to it on the next level.

"or layk how in ff7 ur player iz as big as teh townz but den u go in dem an der not!"

Right? Yeah, that's not inconsistency. Using my uber awesome FF7 self-quote as reference here, at no point are you supposed to be under the impression that the towns are actually that small, they're merely icons on an interactive world/map that allow you to go from the 'world' into the 'town' and know that you did it. This isn't inconsistency, it's a mechanic.

I know what you mean though, I'm currently playing through Super Mario World and it bugs me how you can drop from huge distances and land, and be unscathed yet one touch from an enemy and you take damage. I don't get it. That's a pretty tame example, there are some blatant inconsistencies out there.

Again, not an inconsistency! It's freakin' Mario World for f**ks sake, it's not supposed to behave like real life! And you can't say it's an inconsistency when it doesn't. "omg mario shud have brokan his nees wen he landad, dis gayme iz sooo incunsistant!"

Woah, just a little nit pick I have when I'm sucking at the game. Didn't realize you were that passionate.

You know, I can see mentioning this when the game is supposed to be a realistic reflection of the real world or when it's something that gets in the way of gameplay, but Mario Brothers? Seriously?

You know what's unrealistic about Mario Brothers? There's only two dimensions! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT?

Don't make me call the grammer Nazis.

Do you have their phone number?

And who in their right mind designs those castles? To get out the front door you have to go through so much sh*t.

Must be an inconsistency!

@ chin_strap: I don't actually care about Mario World, it's your improper use of what fits in the realms of an inconsistency that bothers me.

Happy new years brah!

I thought I'd try to add something. I failed.
