I love games, I really do, but they're pretty stupid at times, delightfully so at points, but there's no getting around the fact that sometimes games do really stupid things.
For example, something that crops up a lot with JRPGs "You reduced your enemy's hit points to zero. He's dead! You reduced the next person's hit points to zero. He has been wounded and runs away for the third time!"
The problem isn't so much that I can't believe a fight ends with someone still being alive, it's just internally inconsistent. Kind of hilarious though. In Fire Emblem Awakening I can hit a half naked woman with a critical hit explosion right in her face and somehow she's still capable of getting up and walking away, and somehow we just can't catch her.
Any other stupid things that games do that you can think of? I thought after all the arguing we've been doing, we could use a chance to sit down, have a laugh, and not take things so seriously for a change.
