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

[Arcanz]

I don't know if it's said before, but one thing that's waaaay easier in real life than in games is...... mastrubation!

Edit: For those who have tried a hentai game once, it's hard!

Doing a diving header in football games is about all I can think of really.

 

[TPiddy]

Riding a Horse (Two Worlds players know exactly what I'm talking about here)

picking stuff up

 

[fat waster]

get a helping hand

 

[fun-with-a-gun]

looking at the other side of your gun is usually much harder than it needs to be. what about the lefties??? (most shooters)

 

[Captain of the Failboat]

anything that has you imitating a movement with the Wiimote... oh god its just not human

Climb over a knee-high wall.

Open locked doors.

Go wherever you want.

Have at least some sort of awareness of your surroundings.

 

[DeathWyrmNexus]

I'd say hop over small fences, crawl over rubble, walk through the brush...pretty much anything that developers like to use as an 'invisible wall' that is actually really easy to get past.

This... "I'm some sort of demon/human/pasta/gerbil hybrid able to break spines and survive sword wounds... My nemesis? This simple wooden door and his friend, random pile of rubble. I might get a splinter!!!"

Climbing over a small wall. Some games its easy as walking into it but the other half you cant jump or climb or you roll into it like some crap gymnast.

 

[bobknowsall]

Jump over a waist-high fence.
Climb over anything under 10 feet in height.
Not getting stuck on terrain.
Messing your life up irreversibly. (Don't ya just wish life had a Quicksave function?)

 

[InfernalCreator]

Jumping from one platform to another. Never saw why it was so hard...

 

[Flytch]

Walking.

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?

IRL,you can destroy it with an axe/explosives/what have you. In games,doors tend to be indestructible. Like in Half-Life 2.

But they're not actually doors, the Combine painted them on the walls to confuse Freeman. They may be evil dictators, but they're damn good artists

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.

I think these boys might disagree:

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

I totally agree with you.

Destroy the enviroment (in call of duty, don't remember which exactly, maybe all of them, you couldn't even break glasses with your guns, thank god for Battlefield), climb (portal, half life), drive, shoot (gta IV and Project gotham racing 4 only the driving part, of course); talk (half life again), kill everyone, your collegues included, and get the hell out (dead space); survive in a mall (dead rising)...

You,good sir,deserve a cookie.

 

[mhitman]

killing something, damn life bars

 

[Kollega]

Jumping over walls

OT: You have twisted my thread... I hate you

Sorry about this,but your thread was too one-sided - main answer is "Everything".

This is kinda hypocritical on my part,since here main answer is "Destroying/knocking open a wooden door".

 

[Cheesebob]

Have sex.

Well thats debatable
