Logic failures in video games.

[All Seeing Abra]

I think there is a word for it, but whenever there is a cutscene, the laws of the game completely change.

When playing the game: You can get shot or stabbed ten times and walk it off in a matter of seconds or take some health and be perfectly fine.
In a cutscene: All attacks that hit cause injury or are fatal.

When playing the game: You mow down hundreds of faceless enemies.
In a cutscene: A small group of those same enemies are able to capture you after you have already killed hundreds of them.

I could go on.

Left 4 Dead 2- How if you are at 1 hit point in the Grey Screen meaning you can't fall again, you use medical tape and are as good as new. How chugging a whole bottle of Pain Pills doesn't give some kind of Stroke. You being able to survive a hunter ripping into your chest. How a defibrillator can BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE even if you had died over 10 minutes ago. The smoker's tongue. The Boomer, Spitter, and Tank in general. A guitar can make sounds like it is plugged in even if you are swinging it with 3 missing strings. How a U.S. citizen got a hold of a Grenade Launcher and ammo for it. I could go on, but then I would just be nitpicking.

You didn't even mention any part about ZOMBIES!!!!!!

Nah, that's just a mutated strain of Rabies/Flu. Perfectly fine by me.

Some gathering quests in RPGs and such.

Some wolves will have 2 pelts on them while some won't have any? WTF?

 

[fanklok]

Why after 10 years there is still only ONE Master Ball.

haha I refute your accusation with proof

in G&S if you played the lucky number game and got all the numbers matched you would win a master ball

Why do rats carry coins?

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Anytime in Call of Duty when you put entire fucking magazines into someone. And they just turn around and shoot you once to kill you.

I agree. Especially with the damn M16. If you use that I hate you. They made that thing wayyyyy too cheap. Oh and most of all... Why a shotgun designed back in 1880s is better than any other shotgun available to use in that game.

OH and one more thing... Why the hell can't I use the Dragunov in multiplayer anymore? It's in the campaign soooo why not?

 

[Jolly Madness]

In Oblivion herbs can actually poison you if you're smart (you don't get the additional effects if you haven't got the necessary alchemy level, how many ways of eating a herb can there be?)

How can a corpse be enraged?
Sorry, Dragon Age, I love ya, but corpses don't have emotions. They're dead.

In pretty every fps game ever, people can take a ridiculous amount of bullets and still stay standing.

In the left4dead games, who left all this ammo just lying about? And who set up the safe rooms? O:

 

[Normalgamer]

The main gripe I have is how in modern warfare games or all shooters in general:
You get shot in the face, blood is gushing our your eyes, bullet holes have puncture your skull, your about to die. 3 seconds later... Fully healed, completely rejuvenated.
Or you jump off a building, breaking your legs, causing you to limp, horribly pain, and then your completely fine and can sprint for long periods of time/forever.

 

[blackshark121]

But its a hell of a lot stronger than the stick that shoots sparks that I'm wielding. Why can't I use that instead?

What have you got?

Actually, you never get to see the fire rod in action. The only time it is used it's power is being amplified. /win

But yeah, I mean why can I only have 3 chums with me at any one time in DA:O? Same with Mass Effect, and KotOR... (Though only 2 others at a time in those games....).

Wrong, the girl opens the first door with you, then you walk up to the second door, and use the fire rod. I personally saw him use the rod like a flamethrower. I myself tried the rod again, maybe that's what did the cutscene.

Bringing up the point of the amplifier, why couldn't they just have taken that with them?

And don't /win yourself, its rather pretentious

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

"OK, let's cross over the barns to get to the arena entrance, where we will then activate the alramed doors and race the Infected to the safehouse waiting for us."

"You mean that safehouse which is just over that waist high fence with a about a two foot drop?"

"Yeah, and I don't need to tell you how lethal a two foot drop can be."

"Wait, wait, wait, you are asking us to put oursleves through uneeded trauma and danger to go a long way around to get to a safehouse, that is just over there."

"Yes, and we have no time to lose, except when I stop you to heal you while there is a mob of infected racing towards us. Or if you are in a patch of spit."

"Did all that sugar rot your brain Coach?"

"No, no, no, no, my plan is flawless, right Tinkerbell?"

"Coach, when your brain returns, I'll be waiting for you, or your scratched and half-eaten carcass in the safe room."

Seriously, Dark Carnival, "The Barns", right after you leave the bumper cars, there is nought but a fence and a small drop between you and a moment of safety. Let's go over the barns instead.

Magikarp, if it is truly survival of the fitest, then why are there 5,000,000,000,000* of them?

And then Feebas, who is rarer then a mewtwo (everyone has a mewtwo, but no one seems to have a feebas) who can fight, rare as hell?

*Number is approximate

Master Chief can apparently do a pistol-whip more forceful than the pistol actually firing.

 

[almostgold]

Also, ammo systems in FPS's. You have a certain number of rounds, not magazines. Reloading and throwing away an entire magazine because you fired 1 bullet and now know your safe isnt efficient ammunition usage. Your total pool of bullets wouldn't drop by one. It would drop my a magazine's worth.
