Top Ten Oddest/Most Unrealistic Customs and Situations in Video Games

[ShiroiLuke]

But, in the end who of us would want a completely realistic game, where characters could easily get disabled beyond recovery by damage, or die of a sudden disease, drown out of panic (regardless of being an expert swimmer), or bullied by townsfolk, who don't want to share resources, or simply break an ankle from an unlucky step? That game would be hard to the point of being ubeatable. Games are as lenient as they could, and some unrealistic handicaping prevent them from being too easy.

Ed Wood: What do you know? Have you ever heard of suspension of disbelief?

@CHCHuser Yea, but I don't think anyone can suspend their disbelief to think that Plan 9 was a well-made movie!

WTF is up with the random models?

@frazzleberry I couldn't find any footage that matched my explanation for 6, and was tired of using lolcats pictures all the time. Plus it was advice from a friend whose series popularity has exploded in the last few months.

@osurpless I'm sure his popularity has exploded in the last few months, if he's using hot chicks.

i dont get the dodge 1

[osurpless]

@drifter402 It's pretty much as I explained it, but think of it this way: Why are first person shooters said to be like real life combat, when the soldiers move in such unlifelike ways?

@osurpless what is the game at 51 seconds and what system

[osurpless]

@goofygoober1256 Maximo on PS2. Great (but difficult) action game and a fine tribute to the greatness that is the Ghosts and Goblins series!
