    Every video games are unrealistic to a point. Even sports games, where often players will magically have part of their bodies pass through another player's body.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Oh yeah, Crazy Taxi. No matter how much you make your car run into stuff it never gets a single scratch or scuff.

    That's pretty much any game, though. GTA, you can get shot a dozen times, and all you need to do is find a cross and you're all better. Etc etc.

    Hsu is right. It's a video game. Shut up.

    Why the hell would you want a realistic video game? Seems contradictory to it's very nature.

Yet, in the game all the planets use the same currency- whats up with that? If they have planets that dont even know about space, how can the use the same currency?!?! I'd really like to know. Anybody else come across game flaws like taht?
    XD

    Something about that complaint just makes me laff.

    A realistic video game would be boring.
    However, what I think he means is when it contradicts itself, like Star Ocean does. The Metal gear thing is pointless, cause otherwise you'd never complet the game if you got hurt by a grenade, cause he'll have limbs missing. They have to eb unrealistic to a point cause otherwise they wouldn't be a escape from real life. Would you want to play out what you did today when you got home from work? games have to be fun, real life isn't to a point so drop the unrealitsic bits and just MOAN about the stupid bits such as deux ex machina endings, or stupid bits.

    [q=Jack]The Metal gear thing is pointless, cause otherwise you'd never complet the game if you got hurt by a grenade, cause he'll have limbs missing. [/q]In Syphon Filter, any explosive weapon is instantly fatal. The main character can survive no more than two or three bullets, if that, if he is hit while unprotected. Because of the nature of the gameplay, a more realistic approach to damage is possible.[q=Jack]Would you want to play out what you did today when you got home from work? games have to be fun, real life isn't to a point so drop the unrealitsic bits and just MOAN about the stupid bits such as deux ex machina endings, or stupid bits.[/q]I think the point of this thread, as ShlupQuack has done, is to be amused by the little 'unrealisms' in games.

    If you get shot a bunch of times go find a hooker, your broken bones and wounds will be mended.... or you'll get herpies.

    I like the fact that video games are unrealistic. It's fun and an escape from society. Little things DO bug me, like money in RPGs, as has been pointed out. For instance, in Tales of Symphonia, two totally different worlds use the same money. Things like that bug me, not because it's unrealistic, but just because it's kind of stupid and detracts from the game's credibility.

    In Spider-Man 2, you can hear cries for balloons from 5 blocks away. Also, Spidey can swing 5 grown men and fall from a 4 story building unscathed, but he'll be damned if he cracks the windshield of a car!
