things in games that make no sense

[Professor James]

Look, I know that games will never be and most don't try to be realistic. But there is that odd thing you notice in games that just stand out. For me it's the helmet issac Clarke wears. How the hell can he see with that thing on? There are just three slits on his helmet and I also wonder how his tiny suit can hold so much air. It is almost skintight.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

In Mario 64 (and a lot of others too but this is the first time i noticed it) while underwater he can get air through his hat or feet.

In a game touting advancement in combat, why are the vehicles driven in the Halo series so open to sniper fire?

Where does Turok keep all those weapons? Huh? HUH?! God damn Native American Voodoo magic... The guy doesn't even wear a shirt, bt you're gonna tell me he fit 20 guns in his pants?! And let's be honest, we all know Turok is packing more then just those guns in those pants.

He has a space marine suit in the most recent one.

OT: How you can have combat in any pressurized area and not have it become immediately depressurized.

or how in some game you cant break glass with bllets, or anything, no matter what oyu shoot at it.

For the sake of this argument I'm referring to the old ones. Besides, in the new one, they only allowed him to carry two other weapons besides his bow and knife. So it makes even less sense!

 

[Darth Rahu]

Why are there portals in the bathrooms in DOOM? Why do the Spartans in Halo always seem to not buckle up in their transports and instead vouch for bring on the loading ramp staring out into the horizon? How can Devil May Cry's Dante have so many moments of awesome in a cutscene then turn "durr" during gameplay? Also, how does John Marston have a healing factor? Alright I'm done

Yahtzee pointed this one out. How is it that Bowser constantly pulls the same stuff over and over again and the Mushroom Kingdom never seems any better prepared? Did they even do ANYTHING to prevent him from pulling the same shenanigans?

Only thing that still makes me cringe and is now a long running joke between with my Hubby is falling in Assassins Creed. Mostly the idea of a person leaping from a 7+ story tower into a pile of hay and running off like it was nothing.

This was taken to most extreme in the past few games where not only can you leap out of a 10 story tall exploding tower into the pile of hay, Every single time I see it happen in the games it still hurts my brain.

Well... maybe he just straps it all on his back. or he has a personal pack dinosaur that is constantly behind him. Or that flying pteradactyl thing carries them and drops them/picks them up as needed.

Or better yet, he regurgitates them at a moments notice for use in the next firefight. It's the perfect plan of action!

That applies for a lot of games.

XD It'd scare the hell out of your enemy.

what the fuck!? DId that guy just puke up a ROCKET LAUNCHER!? Oh HELL NO!

it'd be scary to just see some guy in the street puke up the BFG.

I wanna know how revives work in pokemon all the other medicines are sprays or food

How are all the people named "poopnugget" or "xXLegalosXx" also the one true hero and last hope for humanity if If I'm going through my MMO doing quests just before they do?

Also, I have a hard time getting into any MMO RP knowing full well every other person spawned in the same room I did and was told the same BS about being a hero or something upon arrival.

I want an MMO where the opening cinematic is a birthing and then it says "20 years later" and your a farmer or solider or something with absolutely no heroic promises, and for your first 15 levels all the quest givers assume you will fail. And Farmers somehow offering you 3 gold for killing w/e is terrorizing their farms. How cant hey afford that? And sometimes how quest givers might say "here take this reward" but only offer XP. What, exactly, did they just hand me? Liquid experience!?

Man the whole genre is full of logical fallacies.

Just moreso for Turok because of what he wears...or lack thereof.

The Smash Bros Brawl ending/near ending

Spoiler

Sonic appearing and shattering Tabuu's wings, seriously. sure, Sonic fans EXPECTED hit to appear sometime during the story, but really?
He didnt even speak much, yet he had the power to near destroy the one thing that everyone failed against (except Kirby..? been about a year since i last played)

Just felt that he should've had atleast some story atleast, but i guess they had to find out someway to shoehorn Sonic into the story in a way without introducing the other Sonic characters as being playable, yet only exhibiting his strength in a moment where he wouldn't be considered as a cheap way of a deus ex machina...except from his 10 seconds of appearing, he was pretty much a flatout deus ex machina anyway...

Native Americans are badass.*cough*

In Black Ops, you pull an RC Car out of your ass.

In Advance Wars Dual Strike, birds can fly over pipes but air units can not.
