Logic failures in video games.

Halo 3-You can watch hundreds of Scarabs being built in that Assembly level...so why do they send 3 after you in the whole game?
Team Fortress 2-How does the Sniper refill his Jarates so fast? How much can one man piss?
Left 4 Dead-Most of the characters never used guns before, so how do they reload so damn fast?
Gears of War-Dom has a big freakin' knife on his chest, so why do I punch enemies to melee half of the time?
It just goes on.
The only game I can't complain about is Katamari. Their isn't a grain of logic in the whole damn series.

Again, you are mistaken. It is not the number of shots that the M2HB fires that makes it staggeringly lethal - if that were the case it would hardly count as it features the lowest cycle rate of any machine gun currently in the US armory. Single .50 BMG rounds have sufficient energy to punch through an inch of armor grade steel at 200 yards - and in fact the M2 was commissioned originally as an anti-tank weapon. The energy present in the round is staggering - when I say single rounds turn people into hamburger I mean precisely that. It doesn't take multiple rounds to do the job - a single shot to the torso generally results with a substantial portion of the person's internal organs being displaced across the scenery. Yes there is certainly a degree of overkill present but this doesn't make it anything less than stupidly lethal. One does not simply get shot by such a weapon and shrug it off - no body armor in any nation's arsenel comes close to halting the round and a relatively minor wound for such a weapon generally involves partial amputation.stinkychops said:
The .50 AE round - the very round fired by the Desert Eagle, is certainly less powerful. The round itself is lighter and it sports a much lower muzzle velocity. That said, it still ranks very high in terms of muzzle energy present and represents an excellent manstopping round. The reason why the round and indeed the weapon is seen as something of a failure is simply because the sheer size of the round makes it prone to jamming and the energy present makes it somewhat uncomfortable to shoot and difficult to apply follow up shots with.
The Barret, by which I assume you mean weapons like the M95 are not "sniper rifles" by any stretch and are instead classified as anti-material rifles. They feature much longer range and dramatically increased stopping power over the M24 (the current US sniper rifle, which is a heavily modified Remington 700). So, why exactly would one use an M24 if the M95 exists? It boils down to a fairly complex answer. First, the M95 is large an unwieldy and a combat load consiting of only the weapon and ammunition is well over 40 lbs. The second reason is the more important one. Why would a sniper choose to carry this monstorous weapon when they are more than capable of killing a man at impossible ranges with a much lighter one? That isn't to say that the M95 and similar weapons cannot or are not used in sniper roles, it simply means that this was not the intention of such weapons. The M95 is used to destroy crucial bits of machinery, and fills a battlefield role generally similar to that of any of a variety of guided missiles.
Yeah, I mean...based on what I've seen in the game Batman has a bad tendency to kick/punch people right on the top of the head - which is way more likely to cause a concussion. And then he just leaves them there instead of calling in an ambulance. He might as well just stab them with a batarang while they're down and save them from life in a wheelchair. Or a life as a vegetable.benbenthegamerman said:
So true, and the more video games try to be logical(or realistic) the more I hate it!Charli said:
For instance, in Uncharted 2, how the fuck are you supposed to jump from one rooftop of a train to the other while the train is going at 70km an hour? But trying to make it realistic would make it frustrating and annoying, thus I am not complaining.
Yeah, but then you'd have to deal with the nuclear winter, and nobody's going to want to go out and shovel all that snow.Magnalian said:
In assasins creed 2 where the guards recognise A MAN IN WHITE FRILLY CLOTHING sitting on a bench or in the middle if a group eben though he`s the only man in italy to wear WHITE FRILLY CLOTHING

Ha, I remember laughing at this aswell.imahobbit4062 said:
"Look up there sir, a flying dude just dismantled a cadillac! He's our man, sir!!"
"Is he wearing a hoodie? No, no he's not. You need to pay more attention, son. That's why I'm a Captain, and you're still a Sergeant. Let's call of the choppers."
Aye... he was in the guards and they are not exactly the best equiped of units, though sadly that can be said for the regular military as well. Yeah... you can tell I'm not just the little bit jaded over troops having to 'armour up' on their own dime even though I could kick Bush in the balls over the whole Iraq war thing for using them so badly to begin with. Sort of a double insult to people who deserve to be looked after the most by the government, those that might have be called on by the state to give their lives.dietpeachsnapple said:
In any case I was trying to show a real life example where even one of the smallest calibre put someone flat on their arse while wearing a vest. You don't just shake off being shot even when the vest catches the bullet. You bruise, you break bones, tear muscles and just the shock of being shot alone can drop you. But hey, you don't have any holes.
