10 Unrealistic Things We LOVE IN VIDEO GAMES

I also really appreciate the unseen janitors in every game that go around cleaning up the dead bodies you left behind. They are the real unsung heroes of the video game multiverse.

I've always thought the enemy's in stealth games actually do have a strong survival instinct that leads them to think "I know I heard something but the last 20 people to investigate a noise disappeared or were found dead so I'm going to pretend I heard nothing and continue my patrol"

Falcon's laughing narration just makes my day. 😂

Also want to say that the best form of fast travel I've seen in any game is Kingdom Come Deliverance. When you fast travel, you see your character on the map moving in the world to the selected destination, but along the way there is the possibility you will get stopped, bringing you back into the game. This could be robbers on the road, a group of mercenaries out to get you, a citizen who is in need of help, a trader. Fast travel was so fun to the point where I actually wanted to do that more than just walking around. Edit: A lot of people are adding that other games do this as well. But it's starting to get more broader and broader. Keep in mind that KCD does this in a VERY specific way. In RDR2 or GTA4 while you can travel in real time and run into a robbed stagecoach or something of that nature, it's still wildly different than KCD. The mechanic in KCD is more of a choose-your-own-adventure pokemon-esque travel system. When you choose a destination, you will see your character start traveling on the map. Then you character will stop, and a prompt up top will say something like: "You run into a dead body in the middle of the road. You see no one around. Do you choose to investigate?" Then you can always choose yes, but if you want to skip, there is a success percentage. And let's say you fail trying to avoid that scenario, the scene will change into "You've been ambushed, the dead body was there to lure you in". And there are a dozen or so different scenarios like this. It's VERY different than most games.

The fact Falcon and Jake can put a new video everyday of the week consistently for months is very unrealistic, and totally satisfying and makes everyday better. Keep it up you guys (and bird).

Shout out to Gameranx for keeping us entertained every day

My favorite will always be the Saint Row insurance fraud mini game, just throwing yourself into traffic getting ragged dolled around us quite funny.

Fun fact: Item boxes are actually connected by vacuum tubes, just like going to the drive-thru bank teller. Well…it’s how I’ve always justified item box “magic” to myself.

Falcon's narration just improves my day and I can't explain why

Love these videos. Also Falcon's Snake voice is freaking epic!

I love that in Dying Light, most of the "safehouses" are actually safe-ish and make sense for the most part. They tried so hard to make them realistic for night time that they forgot they included running and climbing zombies that weren't affected by UV light in the game

Having a "Look what you missed out on" option in fast-travel would be awesome. Whenever the character fast-travels, their companion should say "Hey, that trip was EPIC! We saw so many interesting things! Why didn't you pick up that big old chest of treasure, anyway?"

I love being able to buy a home can’t do that in real life sadly

"these guards are half blind, 75% deaf, and 100% dumb" Falcon never change my lord that had me laughing uncontrollably

Great list! I’d add how characters in most open world games are able to climb with limitless strength. BOTW was the first I played that factored in stamina

It's always a good day when falcon uploads.

Great to hear gameranx slapping out a video after getting super "relaxed". More of this please.

The most unrealistic thing I've ever seen in any videogame is that, in Persona 5, Joker can call all of his friends at any random day and all of them are instantly able to meet up with him. If I want to meet up with 1 person, it takes at least a couple of days in advance. If I want to meet up with a group, it takes a couple of weeks (at least) before most friends would be able to come. If I want to meet up with literally all my fiends at once? Impossible.

Huge respect to the editor's who always manage to find new bird gifs/reacts to use in Falcon's videos 😂

I love the mechanic that allows you to just walk over consumables like ammo and health to pick them up. No need to even crouch or bend over, nope…those items just magically teleport from the ground to your pocket or, even better, get consumed the moment you get close. Bonus points for when this happens in a player-controlled vehicle, like the runner in Borderlands.
