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

[farmerboy219]

guitar hero, i can play guitar well but struggle on guitar hero

 

[Xerosch]

Climbing ladders. Ooooh... damn those ladders!

 

[Eternal_24]

Kill someone by shooting them in the head at point blank range.

 

[Dramatic Flare]

It is impossible to perform the subtle hand motions such as the raising of the middle finger and pointing it toward those who just insulted you. or to raise the thumb towards those who have done something you liked.

 

[MR T3D]

shoot at a guy behind you w/o looking.

 

[lukemdizzle]

simply walk away from a battle

especially in any Cod game with chest high branches keeping you in the level

 

[AdambotLive]

Jump.

/thread. i had to.

 

[wordsmith]

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

 

[dark-amon]

running 100meter dash.

those are both easier in most games ive played

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Going to the bathroom (not counting The Sims)

Also: simple movements such a walking - looking at you there Heavy Rain! You will be awesome, but why so difficult on the controls?

 

[5stringedbandit]

Not being a wolf with a 1 inch tall friend that has a tendency to draw wind and such.

 

[ThreeWords]

getting away with murder IE GTA

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

Hell yeah, otherwise I'd be pretty screwed.

I mean, in games, the police/guards/whoever seem to automatically know you've killed someone, while in real life, you have to go around boasting on internet forums that you're a psychopathic kill... ah

 

[WhiteTiger225]

taking more then 1 bullet.

 

[US Crash Fire]

Aiming
in real life i quilified Expert Marksman on the M16A2 with 47/50 shots on target (94%)
in video games my marksmanship equates to "Spray and Pray". my usual left 4 dead accuracy is around 33%

 

[titanium turtle]

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.

agreed

 

[Metropocalypse]

Falling distances. I've played games where you take damage from falling stupidly small distances.

 

[titanium turtle]

killing those big things in gears of war- 1.5 clips to the head - realistically you could take one out with 2/3 bullets- even if it had something like a 2 inch thick skull
