I think every modern FPS where you can take a rocket to the face but just sit in a corner for awhile and your health comes back.
Logic failures in video games.

Pretty much all of video games is illogical. I could go on for pages, but I'll use one example- In shadow complex, to rescue claire you have to find a way to carry her out. It says that your mission is to find the armor in the high security lab. WTF? It never said anything about any armor before! And Jason knows exactly where this piece of armor he shouldn't know about is.
Explosive Barrels: why they exist and more importantly why they're like hanging out at the Malt Shop for bad guys...
That is a good explanation for some of it but not all. For example what if your just collecting ears from a human. There are two a piece and unlikely that your going to destroy both ears 90% of the time (if it only has a 10% drop rate.) Like wise there are times where you pull two of a single item off a creature, which happens more times then mutations explain too and in some cases would kill the creature that had them (two hearts for example) long before you could come across the mutant.Amnestic said:
My personal favourite is the games that have a way to resurrect characters but if they die in a cut screen you seem to forget that you have magic to bring them back to life!
I love it in oblivion where i get shot in the chest, then i shoot the other guy and he dies, so my body must be made of kevlar, now thats logic.
Barrels like that exist, seen plenty myself, but the second part is spot on... when these barrels are stored it is in buildings designed to take the blast of one exploding. Never are they just left laying around, and indeed heads would roll if they where just piled out in the streets or other places where people would die if a smoker flicked a cig the wrong way.DiscoveryOne said:
That is easy. Because- *shoots you in the face and runs of to my secret Bethesda-fanboy-hideout*Furburt said:
No, that's playing on easy-mode.chrisassassin said:

Only you are crazy enough to start wasting ammo on blowing up cars.Furburt said:
I always pictured my Fallout 3 character as some sort of gun-toting psychopath who the NPCs only put up with for fear that they would be next.
Didn't say it made sense all the time, but that's the best explanation I've come across for it.Jinx_Dragon said:
Food regenerates health... Wonder why we bother with all these doctors laying around. Along those lines how about a bandage from a first aid kit repairs all damage from bullets.
Oh, and PS... you don't take a bandage and use it to stop the bleeding, no, you just step on the first aid kit and vola, healed.

It doesn't make any sense that in plenty of games you can turn your back and then when you turn around again, somehow enemies have respawned. Reinforcements from another dimension perhaps?
There is an great big list of these on TV Tropes.
The one that gets my goat is the complete inability of protagonists to use their weapons or tools to get past the arbitrary lock or chest high wall.
Gordon, you're carrying a crowbar covered in the brains and guts of dozens of soldiers; use your MIT training to remember what a lever is and start prying things open, using it to pull yourself up, and so on.

What barrels have you seen around? And maybe you should be changing professions. Because I'm pretty sure barrels like those in Half Life 2 and other shooters are a bit of an exaggeration... gas tanks etc don't explode when shot- or even the ol' cigarette in the gas trail doesn't work. Neither is hot enough.Jinx_Dragon said:
