10 Things That Only Happen in the Console World

We all know that there is a huge gap between the gaming world and the real world. If we carefully examine these differences, we'll find many interesting or even "brainless" aspects. It might be because of this that a generation raised on video games has become more childish in their thinking. Therefore, we need to delve deeper into the differences between video games and reality. Some are based on physics, while others may be due to reducing the cost of game development. Here are 10 things that can only happen in the gaming world. Although they won't change the world, they are quite interesting. Enjoy!

10. Gunshot wounds don't simply heal.

Example: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Video games are extremely different from real life, especially in war-themed games. In real life, 99% of people will never be shot, but in games, there's a 99% chance you will be. Shooting in real life usually goes like this: hospital → morgue/rehabilitation. But in shooting games, you just need to rest for 3 seconds, and you're healed.

9. Tilting your guitar doesn't make you play more rock.

Example: Guitar Hero

From this video, it's easy to see that tilting your guitar makes it rock more. But it wouldn't happen in real life.

8. Using a rocket launcher to jump will kill you instantly.

Example: Team Fortress

If you're lucky enough to be in an adventurous situation where you urgently need to escape, please don't rest a rocket launcher on your shoulder. Or never fire at the ground in front of your feet; you'll die for sure.

7. You can't carry 15 guns and still walk.

Example: Most FPS Games

Most video game characters can carry dozens of weapons. In real life, you'd have to be a super-strong person to carry so many weapons.

6. You can't "skip" boring conversations in real life.

Example: Mass Effect

I really wish I could "skip" boring conversations in real life. Have you ever sat through a long, boring meeting? If there was a "skip" button, life would be much better!

5. Falling into water won't instantly kill you.

Example: Red Dead Redemption

Different games have different views on water. In some, if you fall into water, your character dies or loses a lot of health. In other games, with just a little H2O, your character can swim far away. In reality, you also need to consider factors like water temperature and stamina.

4. Double jumping (jumping twice) is impossible.

Example: Super Smash Bros.

Developers who thought up double jumps, like those in Super Mario and Crash Bandicoot, thought it was a good idea. This concept appears in many action games. But in reality, not even Michael Jordan can do it.

3. Hiding in the shadows doesn't mean others can't see you.

Example: Splinter Cell series

In many games, hiding in the shadows means enemy patrols won't see you. In real life, hiding in the shadows would just make you creepy.

2. Eating food off the ground won't make you healthier.

Example: Most games

In many video games, eating food off the ground to replenish energy or health has become a habit. In real life, eating off the ground can cause severe diarrhea and even worse consequences.

1. If you only collect coins, you'll be poor, or even a beggar.

Example: Super Mario series

For some reason, game developers have a long-standing obsession with collecting coins. Many gamers gain points after collecting large amounts of gold. But we all know that in real life, only two types of people collect coins: collectors and beggars.
