I just like when things explode for no reason.
Oh, wait, my bad, I'm thinking of Power Rangers. PFFFT My bad.

Well, almost every shooter is guilty of this one.
What I'm talking about is the unlimited mags. It seems like every time you reload, you get a new, topped-up mag. So that means that your character can essentially have as much mags as he has bullets.
Socom is one of the games to use a "realistic magazine" system where if you fire off all but 7 of your rounds, change mags, and proceed to exhaust the rest of your ammo supply, you will come back to the magazine which has 7 rounds left in it.

whoever took mw 2 to mean mech warrior 2? a month and a half after the release of modern warfare 2, the biggest release in entertainment history? did it not strike you as odd that somebody was referring to a game that had no grenades and talking about its grenades? did that not then lead you to think "oh, there's more than one game that's acronym'd mw2 and i've got the wrong one?" yikes.
also, lloyd irving. at the end of battles, he occasionally throws his swords up into the air and replaces them into their scabbards...through the top. he doesn't slide them into a slot, they just meld with the scabbard and phase inside. ridiculous.
level caps in themselves are illogical.
i dislike that a lot of protagonists last about as long in a body of water as the wicked witch of the west would. that's some ol' bullshit.
also, the fact that in many games when you cure yourself with an antidote, it is possible to be poisoned immediately again. as the antidote is flowing through your bloodstream. much as i love parasite eve, it is guilty of this.
i'm sorry, parasite eve! i'll dust you off and play through you again to make you feel better.

In Fallout 3 cantubury commons is supposed to be a trading hub when no towns produce anything in enough quantities to trade, and even if they did it isn't on any trade routes.
Also the only town with a large enough population to sustain itself is rivet city and that's only supposed to be only a few decades old.Where did everybody live before that?
Hell the whole 200 year problem in Falout 3.

When it comes to video games & Hollywood movies with CGG special effects & intelligence-insulting scripts, there's no such thing as logic.
One that always got me was that your character in almost all FPS games can change magazine yet keep the rounds still left in it. I always liked the old rainbox six games for this. It was a constant juggle wether to reload and waste half a clip, or just keep going and hope that the number of shots left will be right.
When in Far Cry 2 you would clear a guard post, turn around, fix your car, and get shot at. You turn around with the WHOLE FUCKING CAMP shooting at you again. After the 64th time that happened to me when I rented FC2, I rage quitted and haven't played it since.
That's just part of the Fallout background story - for some reason, in the fallout universe, technology advanced at a much more rapid pace than our world, but society remained stagnant and never evolved pas tthe white picket fence "Leave it to Beaver" days of the 50s.... for some reason.imahobbit4062 said:
For my contribution, I'd have to bring up GTA again... ever notice how you can crash into another car with the cops right there, and they won't do anything? Furthermore, if you really get the cops angry, they seem to completely forget their entire moral code and will recklessly run down hundreds of pedestrians in a desperate bid to bring you down. Also notice how, when you get arrested, despite the fact that you've probably killed hundreds of people and destroyed millions of dollars worth of property, you never get more than a minor fine and your weapons confiscated? I know, I know, making GTA realistic would ruin the fun, but it's still a logic failure.
Why don't the citizens of Pandora (in Borderlands) ever lock their money and ammo up somewhere secure?
I don't know about the whole stupid thing, but you usualy send in an elite team to avoid losses, because you don't have an army, the game could require you to be atleast somewhat stealthy/unoticable to not get the entire enemy army on your arses or this elite team is quite simply awesome.jobobob said:
