No matter how hurt you are, all you have to do is walk over a med pack, and you're good as new.

take a few bullets? that's fine, just duck down for a few seconds and wipe the blood out of your eyes.

Eating multiple cheese wheels to regain health

For female characters in mmorpgs:higher level armor has less surface protected

Ammo not being based off of magazines, just the number of bullets. You could fire one bullet from every 30 round magazine, but you never reload to 29/30, always 30/30.
7
I remember playing a shooter where you did lose the rest of the magazine if you reloaded early. One of the older Battlefield games maybe?

I know there are a few. I'm pretty sure Insurgency does it, but if think of the vast majority of FPS games, its basically this.
4
I imagine Arma keeps track of bullets in magazines too, although I doubt that you throw away the whole magazine when you reload.
2
i can't remember which game does what, but in arma/escape from tarkov realistic type games there's usually an option to double tap reload to throw the mag away in order to reload faster otherwise the animation takes longer to stow the mag.

if the daughter of the president gets hauled off and away by an enemy, during gameplay, it's a game over.
if she's snatched or led away in a cut scene, the mission to rescue her continues...

Water, moving 3 feet off the path, and a 1 foot drop are all instant death
6
On the opposite side of that coin, jumping from max build height into water at lowest depth 1 block deep and surviving with no damage

Smash your head against bricks to release coins is ok. Getting touched by a turtle will kill you instantly.

In Super Mario : you can throw fire ball under water
In Zelda ocarina of time : You can travel 7 years in the future and the milk you had in a bottle is still drinkable
In Pokemon (especially the older generations) :
- the only place where your Pokemons can have sex is at the daycare
- A 2 lbs bird can easily fly a 10 years old child. A 2 lbs fish can also hold a child on its back to surf
- A bird without wings can learn fly like Doduo but not a dragon with wings (Charizard)
- In Gen 2, Sabrina had a female Mr Mime
... and so on. Honestly there is just so much on pokemon alone.

Trees float

Trees floats in real life

In the air? I'll believe that when pigs fly

Is that a purposely reference or chance? If its the game I'm thinking of and its a reference, well done.

Yah, it was on purpose
2
A shooting in a Russian airport where one american is found dead as a suspect immediately ignites a war with russia and the US

Have you played the new Modern Warfare? CoD4 will always have a special place in my heart, but the campaign in the new one is without a doubt the best one of MW series.
3
I have and whule I do agree the story is better in alot of ways, I liked the gunplay and mechanics alot more in the old mws

bushes and trees that can instantly stop your car (gta)
5
Anytime you need to find a hidden door or switch, it’s always behind the oddly colored area compared to the rest.
5
Security guards can spot you and then just... forget that you exist entirely in a matter of seconds.
5
or when one spots you all the others immediately know your location (some games "radio" it in, but even then they shouldn't be able to just snap to your position and start opening fire).
1
I have a strong hunch that it's a whole lot harder to steal a car irl
4
You can fly on a shield after jumping on a monster with it.
3
Which game is this?
4
Breath of the wild.

Eating some chicken from the garbage has never made me feel better.

You can die from walking down stairs. (DayZ, before the patch)

If you cut a tree, it doesn't fall on the ground. (Minecraft)

How you can cram a full blown whale into a small little ball for storage, than put it into a pc (Pokemon).
That whale can and will fuck with a kitten
Wait.... I thought Waillord and all cat-based pokemon were in completely different egg groups?
Wailord can breed with Skitty
Dear God.
I checked out the egg groups and yeah they are both in Field.
This is one cursed couple
