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

[Joa_Belgium]

Peeing on yourself to extinguish yourself (i.e. Postal 2).

Oh no. Wait ...

 

[CptCamoPants]

Aiming

 

[CptCamoPants]

killing those big things in gears of war- 1.5 clips to the head - realistically you could take one out with 2/3 bullets

Not necessarily. There are animals whose skulls are so thick that a 30-06, or even a .308 round won't penetrate, you'd need a LOT to do those.

Err shooting?

Seriously that is much harder in real life. I went to a shooting gallery a few months back where I was handed a Desert Eagle. I had to listen to a half-hour safety briefing telling me exactly how to hold it, etc.

Then I got to fire a MP5. My hands came away with blisters.

 

[MCDeltaT]

climbing over small objects. I don't need to jump in real life, just step.

Either you are bad in shooter games or have never fired a gun.

I say driving.

 

[Latinidiot]

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.

NO.

NO.

NO.

i will not accept that.

 

[Eatspeeple]

Deviating from a path without crashing into an invisible wall. I mean come on, in real life that's only happened to me once

what about those single shot snipers, those bullets are frigging huge, they are probably about more powerful than the most powerful snipers to day- they can survive 2/3 ro the head point blank

 

[TheLefty]

There are a lot of people who've said it but I agree. Walking over small ledges, climbing over rubble, etc.

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

Go to the toilet during their adventure. Only Duke Nukem has mastered this.

 

[tomtom94]

Wall-jumping in The Matrix: Path of Neo MUST be harder to do there than in real life. It's as intuitive as eye surgery.
Also normal jumping in Far Cry: Vengeance (the godawful Wii launch title).

 

[Pimppeter2]

Not die... a lot.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Make finger motions

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

Showcase common sense.

 

[Jurassic Rob]

Keeping friends alive. Honestly as soon as you make a friend in a video game, an NPC as opposed to someone you meet online, then you know they're gonna be worm food by the final credits!

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Not going on a quest to save the world/universe/humanity.

Edit: In most cases, sitting down in a chair

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

Going to the shop to buy some bread then coming home and making honey sandwiches and watching House on Sky 1.

Also climbing over small objects that happen to be in your path.

Picking your nose.

Being able to say absolutely ludacris things in the middle of a conversation.

Not giving a shit that the world is ending.

Finding a church that isn't broken or on fire.

Having rare neurodegenerative genetic disorders.

Being able to concentrate on the thing that's trying to kill you rather than a fascinating tree.

Being a German in WW2.

Taking alternate routes around a street full of pissed off aliens.

Ha all these made me laugh, specialy the second last one and the 4th one...

Piggy-back rides, dying of disease, gaining weight...
