7 Things Way Easier In Real Life Than In Videogames

[@QuayNemSorr]

Easier in real life: Maintaining the same speed as the person I'm walking next to.

[@emerychaine7705]

good old slower than running but faster than walking speed, which every NPC can do but you.

[@XenBass]

It's a little different when walking behind some stranger though. I've had instances where they walked too slow to comfortably stay behind, but I had to put in considerably more effort and speed to pass them without running in order to walk comfortably once again. In short: The person you're walking with/next to is your co-op partner. The people you're walking behind are the NPC's.

[@Dreamspawn1978]

Have a friend follow you and not continually walk in to a post.... (at least while sober)

[@robjackson3998]

The worst of all!

[@benneeds_a_name7398]

I can't agree It's harder in real life You don't know my friends

[@GZas]

That permadeath mechanic in Life really keeps me motivated to hold on to my HP.

[@russianbot5302]

I'm just playing a real life nuzlocke

[@jellevanmerrienboer]

Wait... you're saying you can't respawn?

[@miniclip13sa]

Easier in real life: "Hey there is a box in the way blocking this hallway. I'll just step over it." Video games: "Better spend 20 minutes finding an alternate route!"

[@captainspork2662]

Yes. This. Yes.

[@Kaimine08]

Better yet, here's a locked door that I must get in, might as well ram it! It's abandon anyways! Video Games: I gotta solve this overly complicated lock puzzle or I need a key(s) or the worst yet, I need key(s) so I can solve this overly complicated lock puzzle just to open the door to a closet.

[@marhawkman303]

so much that. It's obviously a game-ism. like how many games let you break only a handful of specific object, but only what the devs want you to break.

[@themightycongueror8383]

This reminds me of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, their are several locked gates, all around the different maps, that you need keys to unlock. Except, most of these gate are only like 6 1/2 to 7 Ft. tall, and you can easily jump over 15 FT., Or what about that massive, 90+ Lbs. Sword on your back, can't you just destroy they gate with it. Nope, need to find a key.

[@obi-wankenobi3973]

M-hm

[@selmazukic9331]

Ive been playing the witcher a lot while in quarantine so now whenever l want to pick something up in real life l accidentally extinguish a candle

[@juliangerhard2552]

This annoyed me so hard the first few hours until I realised that actually looking out for candles and trying not to do that consumes mutch more time than just putting out the damn candles so I just accepted it

[@thundermorphine]

This guy is honestly one of the most entertaining guys on youtube!

[@ak4708]

Agreed bro

[@gamer2101]

Yes!! I love him.

[@acausticbanana4300]

He could even make my math teachers class entertaining

[@James-gj8rn]

i wholeheartedly agree 100%

[@madalice5134]

Yup, Rob is awesome. Brightens up my Fridays without fail, especially right now.

[@drkryan21]

Number 8: Accessing an area where you just have a few small obstacles in front of you.

[@内田ガネーシュ]

RPGs: It is right there, for heavens sake!

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Ah, Pokemon and its small plants getting in the way

[@Jd-88]

Yeah right?... even though when the game requires it you can jump over things like an Olympic athlete!!!!

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

Small rocks. A little wall or rocky part. A little bit of metal or a few boxes and the like

[@michiyaslana5974]

Interacting with bosses. My boss just two hours ago: Have a nice weekend! That giant whateverthehellitis at the end of Trails of Cold Steel 2: /calls its subordinates to mob me, eats me and my colleagues alive and spits us out when it's punched hard enough, mass-removes buffs and leaves us all with just 1HP in a single action

[@scottguffie7759]

Been there, done that, but if you have the right setup that boss isn't actually that hard unless you're doing it on nightmare.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Nope, imo, real life bosses are more difficult and regularly the 2nd scenario.

[@The_One_In_Black]

Intentionally not being sarcastic. I can't count how many times I thought I was clicking on a sincere response, only to have the voice actor for my character deliver it in the most sarcastic way possible and end up with a new enemy.

[@p.a.4512]

happen to me a lot, but not in video games

[@thequad8945]

Oh yeah, I remember in starwars Kotor online I got my lightsaber and the prompt "I will use this well" to say to my master, I thought I was going to say something like "I will use this against our enemies, my master" or "I'll make sure our enemies know fear with this".... the actual response? "Muder and mayhem await!" 0_0

[@gamer2101]

Yes!! I try to be the nice guy and o screw it up

[@Paxtin]

This happens so often that I'm starting to believe that it's actually deliberate and game devs are just trolling players.

[@Japaneseanimeguy]

@@thequad8945 well that's cause you were playing a Sith.

[@CottnBudz]

"NO NO NO We've assumed control over your legs we wont give them back until you get to a safe distance" -rob's brain

[@The_True_Dark_King]

For me, if I go to a ledge my brain gets confused. It wants to get down "as fast as possible" so I get a really strong urge to jump. I never have. XD

[@rulsis]

Or my brain. Sees a bear in the woods while hiking. Brain decides to hit the evacuate bowels button, instead of the run like hell button.

[@LXV-e9d]

Managing your inventory is much easier in real life than in RE 2 and 3 remake because if I’m carrying too much of something in real life I can just set it down and come back to it instead of you know ERASING IT FROM EXISTENCE in game.

[@RPG-Dad]

That's what I like from Resi Zero.

[@TheForeignGamer]

I always thought it was weird how in games, especially JRPGs, dropping an item meant breaking the Law of Conservation of Mass, since that's the only explanation I can think of for the item just disappearing into the ether.

[@big__dooosh]

You see, when you discard something, it gets send to limbo.

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

@@RPG-Dad RE 0 is a good game. But I hated having to drop it all.

[@Xylasider]

Taking a direct route. Hey that item we need is right there. We could just hop over this log. Video game. No you can't do that, you've got to walk along this trail for a mile, find an underground passage, which leads back through puzzle ridden walkways and climb a ladder to it.

[@ryanchurchill5081]

And it is something common like a health potion or something

[@sethrenegade3533]

Horror games: you can just break the windows irl and run off whereas you can't in video games.

[@melodysymphonystar]

"We're able to go about our daily lives collision-free." Me, cleaning up the spilled water around my cat's water bowl that I just (accidently) kicked for the 3rd time this week: Yup, sounds just like me!

[@neosildrake]

Also easier in real life: putting things down in an orderly and upright fashion and not cleaning out the whole shelf trying to do so. *cough*Fallout*cough*

[@angelitabecerra]

Decorating is way easier in real life too; I'm looking hard at you Skyrim.

[@corwin32]

You know what’s easier to do in real life? Knowing where I’m being hit. You know when you get shot down in a game and can’t figure out where they are? I think I’d only need to get hit once. “Owie! To the left. Got it.”

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Easier in real life: Knowing where you are being hit. Much more difficult in real life: Actually wondering where that bullet just came from and thinking about effective counter-measures to prevent them from shooting you again instead of going into a full on panick or just straight up fainting from the system shock.

[@LXV-e9d]

Common sense is the invisible wall of real life

[@sopcannon]

You don't work in the service industry do you?

[@epiphaner]

That would mean that people lacking common sense are the same as speed runners circumventing the invisible wall. They reach the end much faster. (that got dark quickly)

[@mangonoob]

Every time i start getting bored of this channel, all it takes to draw me back in is some Rob. Such an old man gamer like myself.

[@LXV-e9d]

I knocked over every single chair in that ff7 level accidentally (and on purpose)

[@sirbumfluf]

number 8: casually walking down the mainstreet of your town without getting tempted by all the sidequests

[@mappybc6097]

I live in a small town and it often happens my main quest, like buying groceries or doing my morning run, gets hi jacked by bumping into someone, or several someones, I know and end up doing a side quest instead.

[@eyobyt]

“I could just jump right now,” you think to yourself, before mentally recoiling at the thought as you withdraw from the ledge. You’re not alone. The French have a phrase for it: l’appel du vide, the call of the void. If you’ve experienced this feeling in a completely non-suicidal way, there’s no definitive conclusion or explanation for it. It is, however, a feeling common enough that studies have been dedicated it.

[@LtBasil]

I had no idea that had a name. Interesting...

[@LordJaric]

The little voice in the back of you head: "Jump. You can fly."- Robin Williams.

[@Waffels81]

For a summer I worked construction on a high rise. Everyday when I go to the top floor I would think how easy it would be to just jump before going about my day. Glad to know there's a phrase for it!

[@briantinsley3598]

I've had a similar thought whenever Im at the top of a really high stairwell in a building. I look over the side of the protective railing and wonder if I could survive the fall.

[@granite_planet]

One potential explanation I've heard for it is that your brain can't rationalize you being voluntarily so close to mortal danger, so it concludes that you must then _want_ to fall down. In any case, it's a really interesting human quirk.

[@dubbmoon]

This is probably the only channel where I like every video, you are all just so much fun to watch.

[@jacooper1234]

Climbing over knee to waist high obstacles. I loved how Cloud had to scale and cross an entire building to get to the other side of 2 cars in the middle of the road.

[@aminthemar]

Cutting a yellow tape without having a knife. Looking at you, Resident Evil...

[@reizak8966]

Every time I play Skyrim, I have a growing book collection that I try to organize on the shelf. I can't help it! I love books, I get a house with shelves, of course I want to have them look nice. I've spent over an hour trying to organize my book collection, only for Lydia to walk up to me and knock them all over. Now she's not allowed in my house.

[@i-darxide2139]

@RobPearson I have made 45 years almost and I spent 20 as a bum heroin addict 🤔my platinum trophy must be in the post by now

Wow, congrats on quitting heroin dude. That's a big platinum trophy! (Second language speaker, sorry if "quitting" is not the correct verb for this sentence, I really spent some time choosing a verb)

[@i-darxide2139]

UsagiMD no that is the perfect verb. Also thank you 😊

[@thomasoldford4987]

Climbing in any game in which the character isn't an Ezio or a Nathan Drake. I mean it's not the easiest thing the world but the amount of times I've yelled "Oh come on, I could climb that hill!" to my gta or Skyrim character is borders on ludicrous.

[@BennyZ21k]

Walking downstairs without making noise. Damn bucket in FF7R...

[@The.Judging.Crow009]

it takes commitment to stub your toe for a youtube video. Bless you rob

[@thegaymingavenger]

You may have said it jokingly but as someone who has struggled with suicidal thoughts, the small "congratulations, you're still alive" actually means something

[@FineYungCannibal.]

Escorting people to a destination is much easier in real life. I most likely wouldn't have to hold their hand or carry them!

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

To be fair: Its easy to stay alive in real life because we don't fight demons, zombies, evil warlords, aliens, ghosts and more. Also we don't enter nuclear testing facilities, spacestations, demon infested forests, haunted mansions and more in real life. If we would do those things I can tell you one thing: staying alive would be much harder than in videogames.

[@AdanRayner]

Yeah that cliff one gets me every time, I take no responsibility, I actually yell at the character "come on dude you clearly knew what I was trying to do!"

[@okidoki7886]

1:42 I literally felt the pain

[@iouoneusername1357]

Standing on objects without being lifted off into the stratosphere. Looking at you Bethesda

[@wushushorty1]

Walking over a curb over 2 inch ledge, when your character is a 250 pound 20 year military veteran of super secret special forces. Nope.. have to go around it or press the "climb/mount" button

[@omedhani3347]

Saying stuff that you actually mean, unlike some games dialogue options lol

[@simjampet]

Talking, or rather picking the right thing to say is also much easier. We don’t have to pick between only four options. We can pick between endless words and weasel our way out of situations that would often result in a deadly fight in video games.

[@14gramps]

Not having the same, very specific, conversation with someone for the 100th time. Mainly the result of the other thing that's easier in real life - remembering someone who you met 10 seconds earlier

[@codexgaming1197]

[@dom3335]

Saving progress. You never have to worry about manually saving. Although sometimes I wish I could go back to a previous save, but it's constantly auto saving on me. It's like the Dark Souls of life.

[@missyj3960]

I also purposely knocked over ever single object possible while mentally congratulating every person smart enough to nail their furniture to the floor

[@cmsmithy1234]

I found out that games have a skirt mechanic designed to stop you getting stuck if you get too close to objects, so your character or vehicle will go around small obstacles if you keep pushing the stick at them, unbelievably clever. Still with all that brilliant design running in the back-round how come my Roach seems magnetically drawn to every god damn tree in the Witcher 3, honestly I can go from being stuck behind one tree to immediately being stuck behind the next one.

[@KiomonDuck]

Roach has a suction mechanic that pulls him into objects.

[@andrewness]

Walking across a plank that is wider than my own shoulders. I can do this, but Kratos, (who is a sailor!) for some reason always adopted a "legs akimbo" stance and usually fell off.

[@xephon33able]

My ocd kicks in at Shinra hq and I knock over every chair and move them all to the escalators. No one gets to sit down. Go upstairs if you want a chair

[@PracticalReformation]

I had the opportunity to fly a plane in real life, actually two different ones, Cessna 172 and Cessna 182 this was back in 2008 and believe me, landing in real life was MUCH easier than landing in the sims i played at the time. I was such a bad sim lander i didnt even want to attempt it until my instructor/orientation pilot convinced me that it wasn’t hard. Turns out he was right. Wasn’t the softest landing in the world but it was better than i could have done in a sim.

[@spencerrugg7704]

Point 4 does raise the opposite point as well with the skyrim bowl. I cannot for the life of me pick up a bowl WITHOUT picking up the things inside it. Certainly can't do it as neatly as they do in skyrim.

[@archmagusofevil]

In all fairness for the staying alive part, unlike video game protagonists, I haven't tried jumping off a cliff a kilometer high to see if there's fall damage in real life.

[@GTX2GvO]

What about "regular work"? In real life it's something nearly everyone is well, just doing. In video games it's some hellish "mini game", only the protagonist can somehow figure out (eventually).

I always just pick up the bowl first in Skyrim, then the stuff, then defiantly drop the bowl. ^^

[@radekrydzewski8474]

Hey Rob! I wanted to tell you about some ideas I have for Friday Features to make your work kinda easier, you know, with the kid and all. I've been writing them for in the comments for years, so as a long-time teen fan, here are my ideas: 1. Games that encourage you to cheat, like the SIms 4 with the cheat bar (cheats like Motherload, $50,000, giving twins to a woman or man immediately, etc.) or Uncharted games with the cheats for different guns or infinite ammo. 2.RPGs that cannot be completed in more than 100 hours, like Fallout 4(settlements), Ni No Kuni 2 (kingdom building), Kingdom Hearts (too many collectibles!), and so on. 3. Game franchises too big for their own good, FF, Kingdom Hearts, Every sports game ever, you know 4. I can even do trophies, Those 7 trophies in every game ever! Reach level 10, get this collectible, finish 1 mission, finish the game, etc. If you're not Rob and like these Features, (I've never asked for this, but....) like this so that it can reach the top of the comments, maybe he'll see it. Thanks! (Notes: I have posted this a couple of times on videos before, so sorry, but also, Access is approaching 3000 videos!)

[@ryukiri]

It's also much easier to apologize in real life. How many times have I accidentally picked up something in Skyrim that was flagged as stolen, but somebody saw it happen so now I have a 2 gold bounty on my head that requires people to flee or fight me with deadly force and summon the city guard. Can we talk about this? Does it matter if I put it back down? No and no. All the fights you have with people in video games that are based on misunderstandings are easily avoidable. Sorry, breh, let's just hash this out with words, rather than forcing me to call down powers from the beyond in the middle of a crowded city street.

[@thequad8945]

"have you tried to drive legally in GTA 5?" Well, thanks to epic games, I can actually try XD

[@ItsMrFresh]

If Sony knew what was good for them, they could definitely implement a feature in ps5 that tracks videogame deaths among all games you've played on the system

[@SillySnowFox]

The monument in Majula in Dark Souls 2 actually tracks the number of deaths "worldwide" (per platform) when you're online. As of this writing on PS4 it is at 302,390,202. You can see your individual number of deaths by disconnecting from the internet and checking it.

[@Bananapeels-Make-Great-Skates]

When aerith first visited the orphanage in ffvii for me. Any emotional drama of Aerith being this kind caring person who took care of the children in the scene was offset by the fact that when i walked over to the front door, Aerith simply barrelled through a whole line of neatly positioned chairs at the dinner table, smashing them up all over the place. 🤭
