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

[JoshGod]

look at your feet

So true lol XD

holding more than 2 guns well 2 on your back an uzi on each leg and something in your hand!!
havng more than one bloody atachment on your gun!!
(MW1)

also not die
i know it sounds strange but hear me out
in a game there are guys round every corner trying to kill you in real life i dont have people trying to murder me, and i can say to the army bugger of i aint joining you!!
(any shooter)

erm how about turning!!
(killzone)

figure out the plot and do things differently than ur forced to in a game.
(none in perticular)

move/place objects
(oblivion/fallout)

eating cake
(portal it will never come the cake is a lie!!)

 

[Babypummeler]

Everything? Seriously, somehow my character freaks out at situations where i would be like "Meh..."
Killing people, very easy IRL... Driving ... invisible walls dont seem to trouble me much rl... Oh, and irl, i think that i could get a little help taking down that final boss, seeing as im the only hope for humanity, maybe my allies should help a bit? or maybe Im humanities last hope because everyone else is too lazy...

 

[Asickorphan]

Being an ODST(Halo) and liveing

 

[Aunel]

scratch the back of your head.

Using no-clip. In real life I just put on my Ring of Divinity and start walking through walls, but with games I have to look up codes and shit: WEAK!

 

[vanguard_anon]

Just for fun I'm going to answer the opposite question. What's easier to do in real life than in games:

#1 - See. I have a much easier time knowing what's going on above me and around me with my peripheral vision than I do in games.

 

[oppp7]

Walk through a door with people near it (from Sims 3).

 

[Sewblon]

Speaking.

 

[Ph33nix]

getting away with murder IE GTA

So it's easier to get away with murder in real life?

in fact i believe i miss read the topic and should shoot myself for being a thick headed imbecile.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Killing children...

 

[skcseth]

Call an audible in Madden 10. My god that game is frustrating.

 

[Mr Mc Twiggy]

Actually stand on the edge of something without falling off. (i mean really close to the edge!!!)

Also, scaring people is harder in games...cos they don't get scared!!!

 

[GrindBass]

Driving over small trees - especially annoying when the lamp posts can be knocked over

 

[lozfoe444]

Playing video games?
Getting killed with a gun in one hit?

 

[DazZ.]

Harder to die indefinitely. Mostly have the crutch of a respawn shoved into your hands without asking for it.

 

[Seanchaidh]

Convincing a foe to change his behavior. Telling an ally what to do. Moving through, under, or over a fence. Traveling in a straight line for as long as you wish without interruption.

 

[KaiRai]

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?

You kick it in, It's only a wooden door. However in games, even 40mm grenades won't dent that bad boy.

I would say playing guitar. Much MUCH easier than guitar hero.

 

[MR.Spartacus]

Going up steep hills is impossible. Seriously I want to know why these durn idjiots can't climb. Or in a narrow hallway type place put yer feet on one and side yer back on ta other and climb up or down. Game characters can't do that.

Killing children...

Killing anything for that matter. I don't care you are one shot to the head will at the very least incapacitate you. It may not be lethal but they won't be standing. Driving is easier too as in-game vehicles have horrific handling. Believe it or not a hearse with it's longer wheel base and lower center of gravity can turn sharper than most front wheel drive cars. Unless you go by GTA4 in that case it handles like a truck.
