Post your expriences in video game logic

For instance?

Farcry 2 logic: Vehicle gets shot up, hit by rockets. Pops hood, and "ratchets" the engine. Which bolt in particular, who knows, but damned if it existed would put auto repair outta business.

Crouching behind a wall always heals wounds [even a headshot] while crouched behind a wall the enemy will never rush your position. when fighting any Giant alien Boss their weak spots will always glow.

Jumping in first person shooters... Because everyone jumps in a shootout.

Walking over something laying on the ground automatically ends up attaching to your body.

Finding ammunition laying on the ground will not only merge and fill up a current magazine in your pocket but will split off and create a new one with the remaining bullets.

You are not carrying a backpack but you have an inventory of 50 guns and various grenades...... You can drive places and stuff and if you do die you can still crawl on the ground till a friend waves their arms around you and you heal or you hit the E key and hold till you revive yourself.

Oh and hellbugs kill you but they don't actually have a biting animation.

You can run down a busy road and jump moving cars and not be hit by them, and if you do get hit by them just stand still for a few seconds on the side of the same road and  your health improves........

Dying teleports you into a hospital where you are instantly revived but have to travel miles and miles to get back home.

I would be able to fly through a live volcano after a nice lap run around the island while my wife runs past me with her cute round but.

I guess I play different video games.

If life was like Skyrim:
You can run around with 300 kilograms on your back, but if you pickup even a little flower, you can't walk and pretty much crawl around.

Or life was likeMinecraft:
You can carry around a cubic kilometer or so of blocks. In real life, a container ship would be a single man carrying 10 000 containers worth of stuff in his backpack as he peddles the ocean.

Dragon Age Origins:
OMG I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU. I HATE... oooh nice gift, now it's not so bad. Oh wait i like you. I really like you. Now i love you.

Think Far Cry is bad?

Battlefield:
Hold a welder to any random part of a tank and it repairs. Or a car. And bombs don't hurt if they're from a friend.

Also a defibrilator can save your regardless of you condition and medpacks spread a magic aura that heals wirelessly.

Life would be much simpler. Conversations with other people would be limited to two or three choices per turn. No thinking outside the box. And if life were The Sims, conversations would consist of "blah blah blahblahblah!"

You would be able to have many many lives. Which could be cool... or horrible. Depending.

I wouldn't mind so much being the Dragonborn.
