  • We all want our videogames to be realistic, but there are certain suspensions of reality that we take for granted. Sometimes though, games hit us with a dose of reality when we least expect it, leaving us hopelessly ill-prepared to deal with the consequences. Here are seven times we had to deal with a game being more realistic than we expected. Enjoy!

    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.

      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.)

    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.

    Another realism point for _Portal 2_ is that it has an explanation for how Chell can survive so many bullets without dying immediately.
    In a video that was either in-game or released in promotion (can't remember which), we find out that turrets are loaded up with bullets like the paintballs in a paintball gun. The bullets are fired by a spring-loaded piston system, rather than a miniature explosion, and their shells are left on to achieve "65% more bullet per bullet." This means that their gunfire is woefully inefficient and would at worst merely bruise Chell.
    Also, they have an "empathy generator" right next to an "empathy suppressor".

    But wait, I've fallen from insane heights in GTA V/Online and landed in water with very little damage whatsoever! Best if done with a parachute, not so that you can pull the chord and land safely but so that you can control your character and they don't begin hopelessly ragdoll-ing to their death. Rather than slowing your descent (which would, in reality, pancake you against the surface of the water and, yes, kill you outright from a high enough elevation.) The game wants you to take a more high octane approach and make your descent as fast as possible by bringing in your body as closely as you can and making your body as arrow like as possible, with your feet (in a realistic situation where you wouldn't have a parachute) stiff, straight, and aimed down towards the water which provides the least likely chance of breaking your legs on impact with the water's surface or, as GTA would have you do, dive head first into the ocean at terminal velocity which for some reason gives less of a chance of killing you than a super belly flop.
