Things that are HARDER to do in games than in real life

[Lordpils]

Getting a shop discount when fate of the world is at stake.

I've always wondered why they aren't just donating weapons and armor to me in games where I'm "The savior of the world."

Complying with authority.
Not being riddled with bullets by legitimate security guards, and cops.
Having a meaningful relationship.
Being an unimportant loser.

 

[Daedalus1942]

I'll say what everyone's thinking.... Climbing a goddamn fence!
Easy in real life, frigging impossibly in Left4Dead >.<

 

[Valkyira]

killing children

 

[silasbufu]

controlling a vehicle in Crysis games.

Wait. People play games to experience stuff that's HARD to do? Is that enjoyable? I'm not talking about playing on easy, but this seems a little silly. Games are an escape from reality.

Yes,people play games for escapism. But there's some stuff that's easier IRL - for example,destroying a locked wooden door.

That's easier IRL? How so?

In some games you can be a master of the arcane, a dual-pistol wielding gun-fu master, AND have an axe but wooden doors that are locked are impervious to you. IRL, they will break down eventually. Or you could remove the hinges. Have you EVER seen a video game that allowed that trick?

Excellent point.

Also killing adversaries. For example in RE4 ever wonder why Leon didn't just take out his gun and shot Saddler/Mendez/Salazar/Krauser in the face when he had the chance? So many stupid main characters don't get the job done when they can and are forced to take part in a pointless boss fight.

because the plagas would've burst out of their faces.

OT: turning electrical equipment on, as there is aways a bomb slot, a broken down generator, beasties next to the plug, or SOMETHING that stop you from turning the godamn tv on.

Drive a car. What, most games don't have these weird things called "gears".

running 100meter dash.

those are both easier in most games ive played

not in a game where it's the consept to perform that single action in the game, an example would be Mario vs. Sonic olympics, or one of the olympics-games on NES.

 

[SamFancyPants252]

making whatever decision you like and fully interacting with the environment.
like, seriously. You think of some brainwave way of doing a task and you can't do it in game.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Live a long, happy life and marry a beautiful woman.

Yeah.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Looking from side to side without moving your entire body.

oh, and picking up stuff & putting it where you WANT it to go, dammit
(i'm a wee bit obsessive about arranging the stacks of pre-war books and money i've put on my bookshelves in fallout 3)

 

[SamFancyPants252]

actually doing normal stuff without an apocolypse/murder/death trap/adventure awaiting.

 

[SamFancyPants252]

Dying Permanantely.

 

[KidRambo9015]

get 1st place on a leader board for any game...I got 1st place on Fat Princess in deathmatch...that is all.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

Climbing up a rock...In games they just stand against it and move there legs

 

[Drakeneo]

Playing guitar Ie. GH3

 

[mannaroth]

Double Jumping I think I did it once.
