Gaming Enthusiast:
Many of the norms we take for granted in video games are completely ridiculous indeed. Have a look at some of the most oddball ones.
"The Montreal-based (Canada) indie games developer Blindspot Games (the indie studio founded by veteran developers from online tactical multiplayer titles like Blood Bowl and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege) today announced with great excitement and happiness that their turn-based sci-fi strategy game "The Hexadome: Aristeia Showdown", is coming to PC via Steam in 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Seattle-based (Washington, the US) indie games developer Spiderweb Software, are today very happy and excited to announce that their open-world CRPG “Geneforge 2: Infestation”), is now available for PC (Windows and MAC) via Steam, with an iPad version coming in the near future." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Jyväskylä-based (Finland) indie games developer Act Normal Games today announced with great happiness and excitement that their post-apocalyptic adventure "Rauniot", is coming to PC via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Number 10 isn't ridiculous and a basic understanding of the human mind..
ten minutes of running around killing shit?..no problem..
five hours?...you physically get exhausted and emotionally..
of course this is literally represented with "harder" bosses..just because it would be hard to actually imprint that onto the player..
all the player has to do is turn off the video game if they get tired..
imagine a game where you CAN'T turn off without losing som...
wait..*thinks of Dark Souls*
my point is made..
'In video games, cars are easier to explode than a Parkinsons patient holding a bottle of nitroglycerin'
That's just soooo damn funny and wrong (guilty laughter ensues)
Whenever I misplaced my cellphone in the house, I would ask my sister to give a missed call. Then it would made a sound and flashes so I can find it easier...
Wait...a ridiculous gaming norm happened in real life! An actual glowing item when you search for it!
As for cars in games, they really are ridiculously sensitive things. I've always cringed watching how easily parked cars explode in BF3's first gameplay trailer and even more so once released. I do give cars in Fallout 3 a pass though since they are essentially powered by nukes. Their tiny mushroom clouds death are so cute to watch and feel appropriate in the game's overall post-apocalyptic theme.
