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 really don't get the point of the microwave corridor myself...
Who wouldn't want a corridor that makes people explode from the inside? I certainly would.

Also, it makes sense, you just don't want it to because it would render reality pointless.

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.
The wrong way is the right way I always say.

Hahahaha true, it is similar to that laser corridor from the first RE movie...
But why did snake have to do it? MKII couldve just uploaded the virus alone right?
Heck, i think otacon could've even hacked it...


my two cents...

Quite amazing how you can heal multiple gunshot wounds and some cuts sustained from a 5 meter fall just by standing on a medkit.

(or find a mushroom)

If insane, illogical puzzles count... I got the worst one of all.

Gabriel Knight 3. In order to hire a scooter, Gabriel has to get a passport. Now in the real world there are many possibilities to solve this situation, such as get an emergency passport from the consulate, ask your partner to mail your passport to you, or just ask someone else to hire the thing for you. But no, let's use videogame logic:

1) steal a passport
2) draw a moustache on the passport (when you have none)
3) decide to use cat fur to get a fake moustache
4) get said cat fur by using sticky tape over a narrow hole, and chase the cat through it.


Most adventures have illogical puzzles, but to date the above is the most insane one of all I know of.

People in Liberty City, Prototype and any other game where civies are allowed to freely roam the streets are fucking stupid. I mean, Prototype. A huge mutant/zombie/superpowered war is going o and peopel just swarm the streets. GTA4, people are getting assassinated, ships blowing up etc. I know this is New York city.. but when 1 out of 3 people you know have been shot, ran over, had their car stolen etc.. you know its un-fucking-safe to go outside!

edit - While im thinking about it.. Prince of Persia.. WHY HAVE SO MANY FUCKING TRAPS AND DEATH PITS AROUND IN A NORMAL CITY. Its the equivilant of covering the walls with rotating razor blades in your local Parkour hotspot.

Apparently, you can survive getting shot by a .45 USP in the forehead. I have to try that some day.
Good luck with that.
(By the way, you need to construct additional pylons)

OT:
Hmm...
Why are nearly all protagonists in sandbox games water solvable?

Okay... we all know that Da Vinci did not invent a hidden wrist-pistol, but assuming he did... how the hell isn't Ezio's arm suffering 3rd degree burns EVERY TIME he fires it? In fact... every time he fires the damn thing, he should be screaming in pain. And... if you do think that Da Vinci invented a wrist-pistol... then feel free to move to the Kingdom of Idiots, I'm sure you'd fit right in.

While we're on the subject of Assassin's Creed... yeah... I'm sure plummeting down from ANY height is totally survivable as long as I land in a cart full of hay or flowers or fish or whatever. Yeah... I'm sure that works...

Oh... still love Assassin's Creed anyway.

Or...
"Oh shit! That's a pretty bad wound!"
Cast heal
"It's okay, you'll be better in the morning"
Cast heal!
"It's really painful, I'll need help up"
Cast fucking heal!

Yes puzzles count also how long did that take you to figure out? (the solution to that puzzle i mean)

Several hours at least. This was 1999, I didn't have internet back then. Nowadays I'd get the answer on gameFAQs or similar.
There is absolutely nothing to hint you in the game that you need to do these steps, it's a lot of painful trial and error. I remember thinking a huge WTF when I finally realized what the solution was.

When you get to the mainframe the room gets swarmed with mini-bots.

When you go somewhere you've never been, it's perfectly normal to pick up all shiny objects you can see and put them in your backpack.
