Let's talk about some of the most nonsensical logic in video games.
One of my favourites is how Doggs Bower from Blue Stinger fights. Usually he can't use melee weapons, only block attacks and ranged weapons. Except when he wears a martial art themed t-shirt, then he can beat his enemies bare handed.
Like, seriously, just imagine wearing a t-shirt with a karate fighter printed on it and you're suddenly become a black belt while wearing it.
Skitty and wailord. that is all.
Healing gun wounds in 7 seconds or by stabbing yourself with mystery medicine
Blocking attacks such as bullets with bare hands
Carrying dozens of items without a bag ect
Taking lots of damage and having the exact save movement capabilities
Ammo weighing nothing
in stealth games if you hide until they stop looking for you the enemy walks away like you were never there most of the time not calling reinforcements or ramping up security
Games that don't have mini map to know where you going and your lost your way
Double jump or games that doesn't have fall damage, you jump from a high cliff or a huge tree and gets to the ground like nothing happened.
Pretty much everything about Sharla's gun in Xenoblade Chronicles. One moment, its bullets are healing and protecting your team, the next, they're blasting your enemies to pieces.
Kill an immortal vampire girl somehow who can later regenerate herself and you'll two actually be lovers. (Talking about Tsukihime if you don't know)
In some games, all you need to not get hit by a high fall is to just do either a ground pound or do a crouch roll.
In casltevania dogs, medusas heads and almost everything carries money.
Secondary character getting to the end of a level withouth solving any puzzle, fighting enemies or using keys. For example when Zero get through the first Sigma level on X1.
Protagonists loosing all their skills and weapons in the sequels.
Characters dying in cinematic and nobody tries to use healing items.
Sidequest weapons being better than a legendary sword.
Resurrect party members when the mc sleep.
Destroying a TV can give you super powers.
Resident Evil 4
why birds have Money and Granades with him??

MK is the definition of silly video game logic.
A character gets X-ray'd in MKX and just walks it off. Get their thorat slit, stabbed in the stomach, skull fractured and walks away like nothing happened
So true, they get their bones broken, get murdered, thrown in lava, a poisonous pool, get their c*rpse (sorry if i am breaking the rules, but the full word got censored for me so, i decided to censor just one letter to be understandable) smashed and other brutal things and then they still fight like they're 100% okay.Quote:

*Insert all of Pokemon here*
But really, why does pokemon have soo many weird logics, for example, gyarados, being a pokemon inspired by a koi fish trascending into a dragon, still isnt a dragon type.
Cut Trees in Pokemon are nonsensical. Can't we just burn the tree down or use another move to cut it down?
Bouncing wall to wall in gears of war, Foam finger is the strongest weapon, instant death steam, Touhou games with their fighting games and bullet-hell comparisons. Speaking of which, the weakest enemy: the fairy, can be big threats.
Discussing game logic is like discussing movie logic - except movie logic can be too ridiculous compared to game logic.
Sometimes, someone who has a violent fighting style and looks pretty much always angry actually hates violence somehow.
Sonic can break the sound barrier, but he can’t catch Eggman?!..
Princess Peach can beat everybody but allows Bowser to kidnap her anyway.
When sub-zero freezes someone in midair, the laws of gravity no longer apply.
This's all I can think about right now..
Holes that make you fall from the ceilling and corridors that make you appear in the other side.
Literally everything in Mortal Kombat
For some reason Mega man can get hit by missiles bombs and get impaled yet somehow SOMEHOW spikes can kill him in one hit
- - - Updated - - -
you would think Dr light would make X without this flaw but I guess Megaman and X are made out of balloons
- - - Updated - - -
which would explain why they can jump high in water
- - - Updated - - -
I mean there is also the fact of what doesn't needle man kill mega man in one hit if he is weak to spikes why does stabbing him not count and why hard man is so hard
When you beat an AI in story mode in a fighting game through time-out it's like "Oh ok I see you timed me out after 1 minute and 30 seconds I guess you win... see you later I'm gonna die now"
I’ll add another, COD is not the only series/game that’s guilty of this:
Cutscenes- cinematic or not - show dynamic ways to defeat the enemy, but the reality is when the gameplay starts.
In the final fight or streets of rage, you take food from the trash, you eat it in a second, without fear of having an infection or something like that.
Or you take something random from the floor to score points.
In the midnight club racing games, you can drive your car on 2 wheels

Walking into a large, slow moving object can result in instant death - mostly the case if set to the hardest difficulty.
Some games have reasons for them such as titanfall or portal
It's a video game. Nothing ever makes sense in these and talking about them like they do have some ounce of logic is ridiculous and reminds me of surviving a supernova.

Kyo from King of Fighters can defeat every boss as if it's nothing.Maybe that's because he's a protagonist? From what i heard, SNK almost never lets their protagonists lose.
No offense to them, even though i like KOF, a protagonist winning every battle is poor/bad writing in my opinion and maybe even considered plot armor. If they lose at least once or twice, it makes me happy because i know they are not undefeatable people who can defeat everyone without trying.
Sorry if i am off-topic by the way.
No matter how big the wounds are... A little junk food can restore all your vitality.
in metal gear survive there is a giant kub energy centipede thing called the lord of dust thats bigger and longer than skyscrapers that you somehow defeat

Though hey, it's a fictional game so, maybe i shouldn't take it WAY too seriously? It still doesn't make much sense though, and maybe i will have to deal with that.
just play pepsiman on ps1 emulator
They really dragged that out for so long, just to show how over-the-top his fatal looking attack is. Only to result in approximately 95% damage done.Quote:

(sorry if this is offensive)
Mario has unimaginable strength at the time of being able to carry the giant and heavy Bowser from the tail... But at the same time he has proven to be much weaker than any other human being when he was defeated by just touching a turtle.
Charizard spits fire hot enough to melt boulders, but his attacks are still weak against the tiniest of rock types.
