I mostly disagree, I love it for all its realistic properties; mainly the weapon damage and effects, weight limit, bleeding etc. If you ignore the fantasy 'nuclear power plant turns everything to magic' part, then its bloody realistic. Its certainly doing a hell of a lot better than the majority of shooters where you can run around endlessly with 10 guns in your pocket and magically heal by hiding behind a wall for a bit.Dommyboy said:
I can only think of games like Rainbow Six 3 that beat it in terms of realism
Breaks from reality I'm normally ok with (games are a form of escapism after all) but if something doesn't even make sense in the context of the game then I'll raise an eyebrow and call it out.
Examples:
Resident Evil/Dead Rising: How come your character can get bitten all they like but never come down with the 'evil zombie virus'? (exception of course being Resi Outbreak where this provides a time limit for the game before instant death occurs).
In Armored Core: So is the pilot inside the AC or using it from a distance? If they're inside then wouldn't they get killed by the radiation from the force field thingy (AC4) and if they aren't then why does everyone get so emotional when you're killed?
MW2: Why doesn't playing as the shild guy in multiplayer give you extra health/damage resistance? (you'd figure all that body armour would be good for at least something?)
Stronghold: So I can't build metal weapons and due to a lack of iron, right? (fair enough) How come I can still have weapons with metal tips (Spears and arrows) along with metal axes for my woodcutters from the word go? (not to mention my avatar's very own full suit of plate and longsword)
Borderlands: So is your character from the planet or what? (we're told you grew up with stories of the Vault, suggesting you come from Pandora, but we're also told you were shipped in from elsewhere, if the story is that widely spread then why are there only four of you?

Also, in Arkham Asylum, the joker goes on a killing spree, whether it be guards or his own henchman, yet BATMAN, somebody who beats the joker every time, cant kill somebody from beating the everloving crap out of them.
Same here, like whenever an NPC would tell me to go away then that was it, I would look at them with my shotgun and just say outloud, "You better fucking watch yourself, you know how easily I could end you right now? DO YOU? Sleep with one eye open ************...." Then continue with whatever I was doing.Amnestic said:
in kotor i can slice open footlockers and doors with my light sabre yet i cant open a locked door with them
and in fallout 3 how come albino rad scorpions and giant rad scorpions have 4 rad scorpion poison glands and each one weighs the dame as the enormous hands on a deathclaw which also happens to be 1/10 the mass of a fission battery despite being 10 times the size
and how do the regulators know which grocery store im coming out of and how do they get the money to run themselves? and pay me for giving them raider fingers
and why put leaky radioactive waste barrels outside a school why have radioactive waste in a urban area at all ?

Here's one from GTA4:
You can go to an ATM and use it to, are you ready for this, find out how much money you have. That's it. Never mind the fact that you can learn this by hitting pause or doing something to make the HUD appear. I nominate GTA4's ATMs for Least Useful Object In A Game You Can Press ____ To Use.

Haha imagine if this Natal thing allowed you to do it. I can imagine it now, the person pacing back and forth in front of their tv, shouting their monologue at this NPC and watching the tears well up in their eyes. Ahh, one can dream.....imahobbit4062 said:

OT: Suprised no-one brought this one to light yet. Final fantasy swords (sephiroth's is a huge example of what I mean). How can any of them swing those things I mean to use sephiiroth's blade accurately in battle you would have to have biceps the size of your own skull let alone the size you'd need for clouds sword.
