Doors.

Apparently thins layers of wood can stop all known (and unknown) varieties of high powered ammunition and explosives.

Yet NO ONE wears wooden body armour?!
Idiots the lot of them.

All of the Splinter Cells before Conviction.
"Gee...I hope nobody notices these glaring green lights on my head".
The most important part is fun, and I still had more fun with the old SC games than I have with Conviction so far, but for the sake of the topic of this thread, that part always made me feel really silly.

/Conviction is fun too
/Just not as fun

You will never, ever die. Unless you're betrayed or you're in a Modern Warfare game.

Apparently, you can survive getting shot by a .45 USP in the forehead. I have to try that some day.

"*bling* THERE HE IS *runrunrunrunrun* Huh... must have been nothing" ring any bells?

Though I would have to go for damage in many games. Firstly if you have 8 p90 rounds in you I don't care if they were in the leg or you were wearing kevlar, you are not getting up let alone running around like nothing happened and shooting with full accuracy. Secondly, regenerating health, if you have stepped into cover for 5 seconds your wounds have not healed magicly and your friend poking you and telling you to get up won't close those wounds either.

Also an honourable mention has to go to enemy "masterminds" sending troops in to attack settlements/the hero in ascending order of power. All the badasses would be jumbled up with all the fodder and the hero would be cut down by a 15 ft tall construct of bone and steel on the very first level of the dungeon.

Half Life series.

You can reduce heavy-duty shipping crates to splinters within seconds with just a few deft crowbar slashes, but a door (hell, even dry wall) is all but impervious.

In fact, this Concerned strip [http://hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2006-07-17] pretty much sums it up.

Great idea!

For me it hs to be the fact that people have gone around putting explosive barrels everywhere, yet other, more likely to explode things, don't explode.

Either in Oblivion, where upon exiting the water, my character refused to breathe, and I was forced to watch the breath bar empty, causing death in the middle of the field...

Or

In San Andreas, during the mission where you drive the combine harvester, I skidded, tumbled down the mountain, got hit by a train, went right side up again, and continued driving with no damage to the vehicle.

You can be an obese, elderly Asian man with a permanent expression of horrified surprise on his face who dresses like a clown that vomited his 31 flavors of cotton candy all over his outfit the night before and still be GANGSTA!

Thank you, Saints Row 2.

I guess I'm the first to say it and even though I'm absolutely in love with the series.....

[HEADING=2]METAL GEAR SOLID MAKES NO LOGICAL SENSE!![/HEADING]

And like I said, I'm in love with the series, and 4 is my favorite game of all time, but it still is completely ridiculous and illogical....and I love every bit of it.

I'm perplexed as to how Sam Fisher, in Conviction, is capable of discharging a round into the head of an assailant, while his two friends are unalerted, standing literally five feet away, standing around so you can return to real time, tag them, and discharge two rounds into their heads.

They have a reaction time to rival Slowpoke. Though, to be fair, Conviction did fix a lot of the issues that I had with the formula previously.

OT: Gotta go with practically[footnote]I say this so that you don't hammer me with messages naming games I don't know of[/footnote] any stealth game involving shadows. Regardless of what you're wearing (Splinter Cell) or how minuscule the area is (Manhunt,) you will be completely concealed.

Being a gamer has thought me to never go the direct route. Always take every detour and dead end first, to make sure no loot is forgotten, no enemy left unhacked.

EDIT: "hack" used here in the meaning "hack & slash"...
(Obviously the method of extermination depends on the game, but as it was the original Neverwinter Nights that hammered this behaviour into my skull, a mêlée term seemed more appropriate...)
