The clothing choices in Kingdom Come: Deliverance actually affecting your stealth. For example, dark clothing at night decreases conspicuousness, but it makes you stand out more during the day, clothing must be appropriate to the context of the scene in order to "blend in", and not cleaning off blood and gore on clothing and armour raises your suspicion to NPCs. Also, the amount of noise you make is measured by what you're wearing/carrying.
To be fair, I think the Assassin's Creed could improve Social Stealth tremendously by making your clothing affect how well you can blend into things, or stand out. I could see scenarios where it could be beneficial to be so overt, it's covert.
Metal Gear Solid 3 did something similar (not sure about the other games, as I haven’t played the other games) where you had to change your clothes and face paint to match the terrain.
@@heartofthewild680 KCD had several factors to attire Protection (blunt, cut, piercing) Weight and mobility Noise Visibility Status/charisma Damage, dirt, blood Affiliation to fractions In cities you better dress like a noble man. For stealth, you might dress up like the enemy, or go dark colors (I used gambesson, brigandine, helmet and leather gloves and boots and the protection ws still decent) It gets funny when you try to sell stolen or blood stained items...
What I wasn't expecting in Breath of the Wild was that when in Death Mountain, the place where just existing makes you catch fire, nocking a bomb arrow on your bow makes it explode instantly. In your face. It hurts.

@@RayLumos Well Jane's been learning more about F1...But I'm sure it's *nothing to worry about... *all part of her plan for universal domination; to know all the things
MGS 3 also has a section where Snake has to explore a dark cave. At first it's completely pitch black and impossible to see anything, but after a while, Snake's eyes adjust to the darkness and he's able to see a bit more clearly, even without the night vision goggles
One of the few things about Skyrim's vanilla lighting that impressed me. Nice attention that sudden light shifts are actually blinding and turning away from light takes some adjusting. Sure, damn has that been modded to fix it, sooO much, but still that detail work wasn't broken or purely made.
A lot of games have your eyes adjust to light now though, but I bet MGS3 was probably one of the first games to do that since those games get so detailed with tons of mechanics.
Talking about fire physics: "Never had to put up with this in Dungeons and Dragons." You can tell Mike wasn't there when Merilwen started a grease fire in an attic 😂
I once argued that a psionic's finger of fire (or what's a thing, been a while) if concentrated would be able to burn, well most things flammable. When this became too much of a convenience for the DM, who had initially let me. He just started chance diceing on how much out of hand things got. So things started escalating, badly.
To be fair to Merilwen, she didn't start the fire. She actually tried to put it out. With...water. A grease fire. So although she didn't start it, she did make it go absolutely out of control.
@@Tyr_Magnus The problem is that he admitted it was a mistake. The real Mike would never consider using explosives as a mistake no matter how badly it went.

Only six stories? You can definitely survive that. In fact, professional cliff divers often jump in the 60-80 feet range (6-8 stories). Some people also survive jumps from the golden gate bridge, which is about 300 feet. So while a 60 foot drop can injure you, most likely the "sail" from your parasail adventure will keep you relatively safe (until you're in the water, at least.)
The Huntress Boltcaster from Prey. You use it to open doors from a distance with low-tech hacking, disarm alien bombs, and not much else. No, the realistic part isn't this weapon.

Also Game Theory showed that the amount of time spent on the surface of the moon before you're returned to earth is also possible to survive. You have just enough time before dying from being exposed to the vacuum of space.
"I never had to put up with this in Dungeons and Dragons..." Erm, Mike, that's because your character is fireproof. It's your companions who are usually screaming after you blow something up.
@@br1ghtf4ll80 Technically, they're both fire resistant, taking only half damage to fire attacks. However, the actual fireproof/fire resistance is tracked very loosely throughout.
@@GriffinWolf y'know, i keep getting -proof and -resistant mixed up. I barely remember a time when fire damage on any of the party members was inflicted.
9:16 "Can you tell Jane wrote this..." Well Mike, I wasn't going to question your dedication to research and thirst for knowledge, but know you mention it...! XD
8:57 "The portal is actually a time machine as well" since the portal doesn't open until after you see the moon portal land, that means it doesn't violate time. If it was instant, then you would start getting sucked into the portal after only 1.24 seconds. My theory is that the portals connecting is at the speed of light, and it then breaks the fabric of space. It's the same as a warp drive "molding" space to travel faster than light, although the object inside the "mold" is traveling much slower.
That first one with AC Odyssey really hit home for me. I've lost track of the number of times I tried to shoot a fire arrow from inside a bush only to end up lighting myself on fire.
The most realistic thing I've run accross in a game is how karaoke makes majima into a rollerblading boyband member, I mean that does happen to everyone when they karaoke.....right
0:57 And it was changed further when Arthur Morgan decided to strap a piece of Dynamite to the tip of his arrows and started firing them at Legendary Animals across RDR2. On the topic of RDR2, I've just finished Chapter 5. 14:44 Or John-117.
my first time seeing the lightning in BOTW was when i threw a lizalfos boomerang at a wolf in akala. nice zappy zappy BOOM momment and cooked wolf meat.
RDR2's dedication to realism is a bit lessened by their inclusion of so many horse testicles, you've got all these horses in this game and none of them are geldings, just stallions and mares? As someone raised around horses that just comes across as deeply weird.
Were you raised around horses today, or in the mid 1800s? Do you actually know what percent of horses were gelded back then or are you just assuming it's similar to today?
@@nk-dw2hm in fairness it was used as a punishment in the middle ages for a stubborn or overly aggressive stallions and the act of gelding is believed to date back to 350 bc
@@tollerancewithpride they did it to people in early civilizations too, especially for servants of queens. Although gelding wouldn't be as bad as being made a eunuch. I just know they do it to all male horses that aren't expected to be breeders nowadays, but I also know not judge history based on present conventions. No clue what the ratios were like in the 1800s, but maybe Rockstar didn't want to get drawn into the trans/gop culture wars by including extra genders for horses lol
In the early 80s, computer prodigy Gustavo Fernandez wrote a Star Trek game for the Apple ][ called "Estrella" which featured 4-track audio and in-game multi-tasking. Inspired by the original Star Trek Season 2 episode "The Trouble with Tribbles", one of the things you could do was teleport Tribbles into an enemy Klingon warship. Some time later you would receive a notification that the Klingon ship had exploded.
I just recently started playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and I have set Kassandra on fire so many times by pulling out a torch and setting boxes of war supplies on fire along with the tent it was sitting under. I feel so bad every time it happens. :O
Also accidentally destroying (tripping or hitting with an attack) the vases that have the flameable stuff in them. Although, to be fair the AI does that all on their own sometimes as well.
@@jonneexplorer Oh yeah, you are right. Forgot mach 1,2 wind friction a bit below half of worrying about death from that. Though probably not good for your skin and muscles.
Metal Gear : Look at all this realism! Broken bones, bleeding, poisoning, removing bullets, leeches sucking your blood, hunger! Also Metal Gear : Look a guy that can shoot hornets!
I have a love hate relationship with fire in Odyssey On the one hand being set on fire does a lot of damage quickly but on the other, Kassandra's reaction to being set on fire is always hilarious.
I wondered about them doing this for a while. Then I figured they probably thought it was best to show they were still taking things seriously and working from home. There's enough idiots here that they probably want to show a good example. Finally I settled on they either didn't think of it or it was too much work heh.
First of all that Portal 2 Moon part BLEW my MIND!🤯 Second of all, HOLY CRAP I was JUST DOING that Grave Robber Mission in Red Dead 2 RIGHT BEFORE I watched THIS VIDEO, and I made the EXACT MISTAKE you were talking about!

From that height, the surface tension of the water would feel like hitting concrete... with a similar and messy result. You'd be splattered into at least several pieces or if you were high enough, you'd likely resemble a red mist.
The balance mechanic of Death Stranding caught me way off guard. I'm just so used to sprinting across the terrain, and was not expecting it at all when I tripped and fell down the hill.
So in Assassin's Creed Origins I set the snakes on fire. Wow, that sure takes care of them. Tried that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but I gues Kassandra was around too much flammable stuff lol 🤣
Imagine minding your own business, enjoying yourself at the beach, and then a man in semi-formal wear plummets out of the sky and slams into the ocean and breaks every bone in his body, killing him instantly.

Far cry 2 is one of my favorite first person shooter. All the realisms, you check your map, you take it out while you're walking and keep checking it while walking or driving & so on.
Just a note about those huge bags of Doritos in SnakeEater: they are half full of air. That’s WILDLY realistic. The worst part about the RDR2 part for me was questioning my childhood because I haven’t left a knife/steel behind since I was around age 14.
Does the realism of MGS3 mean I can recharge my phone by eating glowing mushrooms? *returns ten minutes later, pale and vomit-stained* No. No it does not.
That time in Alpha Protocol when you wear high-tech stealth armour to a public meeting, and the other secret agent makes fun of you for not making better clothing choices :(
AC: Odyssey is realistic in another way. Just like my ex-girlfriend, her character banged every man and woman available when the dialogue option came up
Honorable mention to the drenched status ailment in Dragon's Dogma; go for a swim in brine free waters and your clothes get drenched, meaning lightning and ice damage is doubled and you're more susceptible to the frozen ailment. In real world terms, wet clothes or just being soaking wet in general causes your party to catch hypothermia and frostbite.
Subnautica's Stasis rifle. True, a gun that can shoot a force field that can "slow down time to furthest limits as the laws of physics permits" or something like that is rather unfeasible, but the way it was executed was quite clever. When used against Warpers, which are so named because they were given the ability to teleport themselves and others short distances by the ancient aliens called "Precursors" or the "Almanac" in Below Zero, the Warpers instantly warp out of the stasis field and continue their pursuit. This makes sense, because synapses in the brain fire at essentially the speed of light, and because they use their brain to start their warp, they can do it pretty much instantly. Another clever example, though this is a lot subtler, is that leviathans can be frozen with the stasis rifle, even though it doesn't cover their entire body, but only if it covers their head. This is because it would slow down their perception of time mentally, causing the rest of their body to follow suit. You might be thinking "Wait, but you just said that Warpers warped out instantly, because the brain fires it's neurons so fast, why are the leviathans slowed down from stasis if the warpers aren't?" Well, let me ask you this: How fast are your reflexes? A warper warps out reflexively, without needing time to actually move. As soon as their neurons fire, they are out. However, your ACTIONS, are not as fast. A leviathan isn't effected any more than a warper, but their neurons have to fire many more times. The neurons IN the stasis field are effected, and are controlling the neurons OUT of the stasis field. The neurons outside can fire at normal speed, but they can only receive orders as fast as they are given. The opposite is also true. While the neurons outside can give information in real time, the neurons inside can only receive at the speed that they have been slowed to.
It makes me sad how many people don't know that in AC Odyssey, you don't need to craft fire arrows - you can just pull out a torch, drop it on the ground and dip your regular, much more powerful arrow in it.
@@BrawnyFanta Not exactly.... example: Imagine light having to go to the moon and back, just to reach the other side of the room you are in... while you can just walk in a straight line there. You did not travel faster than light, you traveled a shorter distance. You get there BEFORE light, yes. But not faster than light.
My favorite bit of random realism was in Ghost of Tsushima. "Oh there's the stealth kill ability! That always work, I'm hidden in tall grass, and I'm just going to stab this guy in the neck, and OH MY GOD HE'S SCREAMING AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS ARE HERE". Turns out you need to level up your stealth kill attack for it to be more silent.
Prey has a difficulty setting you can enable where you can take realistic damage. Third degree burns, concussions, bleeding. I feel like it makes the game more fun to be honest.
Another really cool thing about the Portal 2 moon sequence is that the time you spend in space is just long enough that Chell wouldn't suffer any long term health complications
I'm not going to lie, I laughed with the video being about games being realistic and the first entry being fire-arrows. Possibly the worst fantasy element people think is historical.
wait a minute, they were talking about legend of zelda then at the end of the sentence talked about being betrayed in metal gear, seems like the edits are mixed up
Gear, as in equipment. So betrayed by metal weapons or armor. Although I am sure in RL a metal suit of armor would protect you from lightning. I made a post about that.
@@aptom203 Well, it would still redirect most of the current away from your body. As long as the suit covers the whole body. Path of least resistance gets the most current. Even if you touch the metal, it would only provide a mild shock at most. Think about how birds can sit on a live high voltage uninsulated power cable. The cable is a far better conductor then the bird. Note that this doesn't mean you can grab a life wire safely. If you touch anything conductive attached to the ground or something similar, you would still get a very big shock.
@@zincwing4475 Birds can perch on those wires because they aren't any more of a rout to ground than the air around them. A person standing on the ground is a rout to ground and would conduct a lightning strike much more readily. Faraday suits and cages work by having a layer of insulation between the conducive suit and the person wearing it, and absolutely do not work if wet.

All of you are truly legendary............. However, Jane is a " Legendary genius"! Hit the books gentleman you have some catching up to do. LOL. 😋
To be fair the whole video can be made out of metal gear soild 3 stuff.
Also Game Theory showed that the amount of time spent on the surface of the moon before you're returned to earth is also possible to survive. You have just enough time before dying from being exposed to the vacuum of space.
I was thinking the same thing!!
The words "Game Theory" and "Proved" together like that makes me feel queazy.
@@Joe90h?
Imagine thinking game theory proved anything
@@SkitSkat8008 he... Did? Idk what you're talking about
"I never had to put up with this in Dungeons and Dragons..." Erm, Mike, that's because your character is fireproof. It's your companions who are usually screaming after you blow something up.
so true, but isn't Prudence fireproof as well?
@@br1ghtf4ll80 Technically, they're both fire resistant, taking only half damage to fire attacks. However, the actual fireproof/fire resistance is tracked very loosely throughout.
@@GriffinWolf y'know, i keep getting -proof and -resistant mixed up. I barely remember a time when fire damage on any of the party members was inflicted.
So he's making an accurate statement... HE never had to put up with it
9:16 "Can you tell Jane wrote this..." Well Mike, I wasn't going to question your dedication to research and thirst for knowledge, but know you mention it...! XD
8:57 "The portal is actually a time machine as well" since the portal doesn't open until after you see the moon portal land, that means it doesn't violate time. If it was instant, then you would start getting sucked into the portal after only 1.24 seconds. My theory is that the portals connecting is at the speed of light, and it then breaks the fabric of space. It's the same as a warp drive "molding" space to travel faster than light, although the object inside the "mold" is traveling much slower.
All that pedantry about when the portal opens vs when we see it open and you still mixed up “theory” and “hypothesis”. ;-)
Yeah it’s weird how it hits the moon and then waits for you to see it for it to suck you in XD
@@DeathnoteBB I think that makes sence though, as the "hole" would propagate at the speed of light as well. But im no theoretical physicist
@@ButMadNNW626 I’m a science major (astrogeology to be specific) and I catch myself doing that a lot
Perhaps the portals are quantum-entangled?
“Teleporting Stone Motorcycle” is the name of my new band!

"Can you tell Jane wrote this?"
I think the only thing that would've made that cuter would be if we had Jane excitedly gushing about it the whole time
I would happily sit through Jane talking about almost anything, same as with GeminiTay and Emma Watson.
That first one with AC Odyssey really hit home for me. I've lost track of the number of times I tried to shoot a fire arrow from inside a bush only to end up lighting myself on fire.

The most realistic thing I've run accross in a game is how karaoke makes majima into a rollerblading boyband member, I mean that does happen to everyone when they karaoke.....right
I haven't gone to a karaoke night, but if that doesn't happen I will be very angry.
It does. When I sang Chop Suey with the boys, the whole room turned into a stage and we were phasing through each other's bodies.
@@sedovt good
This is exactly why I don't do karaoke. The risk of suddenly turning into a member of Hikaru Genji is just way too high.

Uhm maybe the Witcher because Triss and Yennefer‘s reaction to you confessing your love to both of them is more realistic than in most games?
"Can you tell that Jane wrote this?" LOL!!! You tell 'em, Jane! Physics ftw!
0:57 And it was changed further when Arthur Morgan decided to strap a piece of Dynamite to the tip of his arrows and started firing them at Legendary Animals across RDR2.
On the topic of RDR2, I've just finished Chapter 5.

Andy's comments are the best, "And that person's name was Jerry Firearrows and the rest is history!!!" Still chuckling now!
I lost it when Mike said you can tell Jane wrote this 🤣. Too bad she went on holiday and couldn't do this entry herself
In MGS 3, you can also catch a cold if you stay in the swamp for too long, and also sneezing.
RDR2's dedication to realism is a bit lessened by their inclusion of so many horse testicles, you've got all these horses in this game and none of them are geldings, just stallions and mares? As someone raised around horses that just comes across as deeply weird.
Were you raised around horses today, or in the mid 1800s? Do you actually know what percent of horses were gelded back then or are you just assuming it's similar to today?
Shhh, don't kinkshame.
@@nk-dw2hm in fairness it was used as a punishment in the middle ages for a stubborn or overly aggressive stallions and the act of gelding is believed to date back to 350 bc
@@tollerancewithpride they did it to people in early civilizations too, especially for servants of queens. Although gelding wouldn't be as bad as being made a eunuch. I just know they do it to all male horses that aren't expected to be breeders nowadays, but I also know not judge history based on present conventions.
No clue what the ratios were like in the 1800s, but maybe Rockstar didn't want to get drawn into the trans/gop culture wars by including extra genders for horses lol
In the early 80s, computer prodigy Gustavo Fernandez wrote a Star Trek game for the Apple ][ called "Estrella" which featured 4-track audio and in-game multi-tasking. Inspired by the original Star Trek Season 2 episode "The Trouble with Tribbles", one of the things you could do was teleport Tribbles into an enemy Klingon warship. Some time later you would receive a notification that the Klingon ship had exploded.
Mike:‘Can you tell if Jane wrote this’
Everyone else ‘yes’

The sound Snake made when he spun around and puked was amazing lmfao, idk why it caught me of guard lmfao
I just recently started playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and I have set Kassandra on fire so many times by pulling out a torch and setting boxes of war supplies on fire along with the tent it was sitting under. I feel so bad every time it happens. :O
I set the entire field on fire trying to stealth assassinate that snake dude and his snakes.
Also accidentally destroying (tripping or hitting with an attack) the vases that have the flameable stuff in them. Although, to be fair the AI does that all on their own sometimes as well.
Me 45 seconds after Andy said "i haven't felt this betrayed by metal gear since acid turned out to be a collectible card game": "OOOOOHHHHH"
Just when I thought I couldn't love Portal 2 more.
They did allot of good homework for that scenes science, though Chell would probably have had her face blown off by the rush of air.
Chris East it’s a pressure difference of one atmosphere. That’s not remotely enough to do that.
@@jonneexplorer Oh yeah, you are right. Forgot mach 1,2 wind friction a bit below half of worrying about death from that. Though probably not good for your skin and muscles.

I have a love hate relationship with fire in Odyssey
On the one hand being set on fire does a lot of damage quickly but on the other, Kassandra's reaction to being set on fire is always hilarious.
Please green screen yourselves onto the cultural icon known as “the green couch”
I wondered about them doing this for a while. Then I figured they probably thought it was best to show they were still taking things seriously and working from home. There's enough idiots here that they probably want to show a good example. Finally I settled on they either didn't think of it or it was too much work heh.
That aim in Far Cry 2.... made me want to know who thought it was a good idea to have their great great grandmother play for the video footage
What about battlefield one? The first mission on it made me go "dang, they're taking this seriously."
First of all that Portal 2 Moon part BLEW my MIND!🤯
Second of all, HOLY CRAP I was JUST DOING that Grave Robber Mission in Red Dead 2 RIGHT BEFORE I watched THIS VIDEO, and I made the EXACT MISTAKE you were talking about! Forgot my repeaters, only brought my handguns! How crazy is that coincidence?! 😂🤣
From that height, the surface tension of the water would feel like hitting concrete... with a similar and messy result. You'd be splattered into at least several pieces or if you were high enough, you'd likely resemble a red mist.
The balance mechanic of Death Stranding caught me way off guard. I'm just so used to sprinting across the terrain, and was not expecting it at all when I tripped and fell down the hill.
So in Assassin's Creed Origins I set the snakes on fire. Wow, that sure takes care of them. Tried that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but I gues Kassandra was around too much flammable stuff lol 🤣
Ah the memories. The first time I lit the bush on fire in AC Odyssey I died because I was laughing so hard I failed to move and put the fire out 🤣🤣
Ahh I love how you can land into a puddle in Skyrim and live because water. Never had to take the stairs down from Dragonsreach
Imagine minding your own business, enjoying yourself at the beach, and then a man in semi-formal wear plummets out of the sky and slams into the ocean and breaks every bone in his body, killing him instantly.
6:34 Fun Fact: We can send a spacecraft to the Moon in as little as nine hours. If you didn't want to stop there. Or don't have any plans of getting back home.

'Food poisoning is caused by eating poisonous food." - Ya don't say...
Far cry 2 is one of my favorite first person shooter. All the realisms, you check your map, you take it out while you're walking and keep checking it while walking or driving & so on.
"can you tell jane wrote this" we love you science nerd
Just a note about those huge bags of Doritos in SnakeEater: they are half full of air. That’s WILDLY realistic.
The worst part about the RDR2 part for me was questioning my childhood because I haven’t left a knife/steel behind since I was around age 14.
Does the realism of MGS3 mean I can recharge my phone by eating glowing mushrooms?
*returns ten minutes later, pale and vomit-stained*
No. No it does not.
That time in Alpha Protocol when you wear high-tech stealth armour to a public meeting, and the other secret agent makes fun of you for not making better clothing choices :(
AC: Odyssey is realistic in another way. Just like my ex-girlfriend, her character banged every man and woman available when the dialogue option came up
F

Honorable mention to the drenched status ailment in Dragon's Dogma; go for a swim in brine free waters and your clothes get drenched, meaning lightning and ice damage is doubled and you're more susceptible to the frozen ailment.
In real world terms, wet clothes or just being soaking wet in general causes your party to catch hypothermia and frostbite.
"never had to put up with this s*** in Dungeons and Dragons" Mike, you set fire to a boat house on your first time out
Here's one. When playing Don't Starve it's common sense not to eat every random mushroom you find in the wild, no matter how hungry you are.
Animal Crossing: You might be somehow carrying 20 whale sharks, but you aren’t allowed to wrap one up as present for someone.
Subnautica's Stasis rifle. True, a gun that can shoot a force field that can "slow down time to furthest limits as the laws of physics permits" or something like that is rather unfeasible, but the way it was executed was quite clever. When used against Warpers, which are so named because they were given the ability to teleport themselves and others short distances by the ancient aliens called "Precursors" or the "Almanac" in Below Zero, the Warpers instantly warp out of the stasis field and continue their pursuit. This makes sense, because synapses in the brain fire at essentially the speed of light, and because they use their brain to start their warp, they can do it pretty much instantly. Another clever example, though this is a lot subtler, is that leviathans can be frozen with the stasis rifle, even though it doesn't cover their entire body, but only if it covers their head. This is because it would slow down their perception of time mentally, causing the rest of their body to follow suit. You might be thinking "Wait, but you just said that Warpers warped out instantly, because the brain fires it's neurons so fast, why are the leviathans slowed down from stasis if the warpers aren't?" Well, let me ask you this: How fast are your reflexes? A warper warps out reflexively, without needing time to actually move. As soon as their neurons fire, they are out. However, your ACTIONS, are not as fast. A leviathan isn't effected any more than a warper, but their neurons have to fire many more times. The neurons IN the stasis field are effected, and are controlling the neurons OUT of the stasis field. The neurons outside can fire at normal speed, but they can only receive orders as fast as they are given. The opposite is also true. While the neurons outside can give information in real time, the neurons inside can only receive at the speed that they have been slowed to.
I love all these videos y’all put out. Makes my day when I’m on lunch break at work
Right? I’m watching this on my work break too! 😀
The Haunted Lyre it’s the only thing that I look forward to when I’m at work
It makes me sad how many people don't know that in AC Odyssey, you don't need to craft fire arrows - you can just pull out a torch, drop it on the ground and dip your regular, much more powerful arrow in it.
9:10 No, the portal gun creates a wormhole, bending space, you do not travel faster than light.
But you get front point a to point b faster than light can travel still
Indeed, it's folded space: Which means the variable being altered is distance-- not time.
@@BrawnyFanta Not exactly.... example:
Imagine light having to go to the moon and back, just to reach the other side of the room you are in... while you can just walk in a straight line there.
You did not travel faster than light, you traveled a shorter distance.
You get there BEFORE light, yes. But not faster than light.
Yeah that whole part was a little poorly worded.
You still have the issue of potentially being able to arrive somewhere, look back, and see yourself starting the journey.
My favorite bit of random realism was in Ghost of Tsushima.
"Oh there's the stealth kill ability! That always work, I'm hidden in tall grass, and I'm just going to stab this guy in the neck, and OH MY GOD HE'S SCREAMING AND ALL OF HIS FRIENDS ARE HERE".
Turns out you need to level up your stealth kill attack for it to be more silent.
Wouldn't the fire arrows also go out a second or two after they're loosed?
Prey has a difficulty setting you can enable where you can take realistic damage. Third degree burns, concussions, bleeding. I feel like it makes the game more fun to be honest.
I clicked so fast I couldn't think of something funny to say
Then shut up.
@@jaymzx2587 hmmmm nah
Relatable XD
That's more realistic than I expected
Same.
Another really cool thing about the Portal 2 moon sequence is that the time you spend in space is just long enough that Chell wouldn't suffer any long term health complications
I'm not going to lie, I laughed with the video being about games being realistic and the first entry being fire-arrows. Possibly the worst fantasy element people think is historical.
Seeing snake realistically throw up after you spin him around was oddly amusing XD
wait a minute, they were talking about legend of zelda then at the end of the sentence talked about being betrayed in metal gear, seems like the edits are mixed up
Gear, as in equipment. So betrayed by metal weapons or armor.
Although I am sure in RL a metal suit of armor would protect you from lightning. I made a post about that.
Gear (equipment) that is made of metal. It's a pun, and a reference to the previous segment.
@@zincwing4475 Only if you were wearing a gambeson or something underneath and you were dry.
@@aptom203 Well, it would still redirect most of the current away from your body. As long as the suit covers the whole body.
Path of least resistance gets the most current. Even if you touch the metal, it would only provide a mild shock at most. Think about how birds can sit on a live high voltage uninsulated power cable. The cable is a far better conductor then the bird.
Note that this doesn't mean you can grab a life wire safely. If you touch anything conductive attached to the ground or something similar, you would still get a very big shock.
@@zincwing4475 Birds can perch on those wires because they aren't any more of a rout to ground than the air around them. A person standing on the ground is a rout to ground and would conduct a lightning strike much more readily.
Faraday suits and cages work by having a layer of insulation between the conducive suit and the person wearing it, and absolutely do not work if wet.
