Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay	comment	Imagine playing a First-Person Shooter and finding that you don't HAVE to shoot the bloodthirsty enemies, and merely pointing your gun at them or firing some warning shots will scare them away with no body count. Since every shooter is designed to let you shoot enemies, why would you think this time would be different? Didn't know you could do that? How could you not? It's common sense! As always, Tropes Are Not Bad. There are a number of games in which part of the game is figuring out the rules, or in which changing the rules is necessary to win. This type of gameplay is simply not very common, which is why it tends to bamboozle and frustrate some players. This can also be the result of a Physics Engine or gameplay effect made to simulate reality (or what people generally accept as "real") without the player knowing, and it may even end up more realistic than the developers had in mind. Subtrope of Hidden in Plain Sight, sometimes overlaps with Cutting the Knot. Contrast Moon Logic Puzzle, in which the logic which solves the puzzle is so out there that there's no way it was obvious, as well as Misaimed "Realism", where an element intended to be realistic only ends up highlighting unrealism. Compare Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, which is also about reality rearing its ugly head in unexpected places, but in relation to narrative, rather than gameplay. See also Paradiegetic Gameplay and Wrong Genre Savvy. As this is a solutions trope, there are unmarked spoilers ahead.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_10ddd3d5	comment	Twilight Princess: In the City in the Sky, at one point Link enters a bottomless room guarded by two lizalfos. Simply take two steps forward into the room (after the door locks behind you) and both leap to their doom while trying to come after you. Another Twilight Princess example is the second jousting match with King Bulblin. The first time, you rode Epona past his boar and swung your sword to knock him off, a la a proper joust. The second time you face him, he's wearing armor on his sides that protects him from sword swings. How do you properly joust him this time? Who said anything about jousting? Just pull out your bow and shoot him a few times in the chest. At one point you run into a snow drift that blocks your way while following a scent. There's nowhere to climb over it and none of your items seem to help. Just dash into it and the snow collapses.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_1215a23d	comment	Genshin Impact: While a subtle detail, a character's height will affect their overall speed in-game and how they interact with the world. For instance Klee and Qiqi are among the slowest at running, climbing and swimming and will not be able to fight in most shallow waters due to being the shortest characters in-game; whereas characters like Kaeya or Jean end up being the fastest overall with no difficulty in shallow waters due to being among the tallest characters in-game. If you can somehow manage to get onboard one of the ships sailing near Liyue just because you can, you'll be greeted with a cutscene where the crew demands you to show your invitation for the cruise... or worse. Thankfully it's just an optional sidequest, and you can talk your way out of it. The same goes for the Alcor, a pirate ship. Board it, and the crew's first instinct is to bind you, throw you off the ship, and let you drown. Thankfully, you are spared.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_1543f8a	comment	Zero Time Dilemma: In one fragment, Eric asks Q who's responsible for killing Mira, and a keyboard pops up on the screen for the player to input their answer. Savvy players would assume they just need to come back later after exploring all the other playable segments. The trouble is that the player doesn't learn who the killer is until after this part in the story, but they may get stuck assuming the game already told them. The actual solution, contrary to a player's expectations, is to be completely honest with Eric- in other words, 'I don't know'. At one point in the story, C Team has to deal with the Monty Hall thought experiment and then apply it to a life or death situation (the room is being flooded with toxic gas, there are 10 lockers that follow the Monty Hall rules and only one has a gas mask.) Logically, a player might think that as long as they follow the reasoning of the Monty Hall problem (pick one locker, then switch to the other one that's left after every other "wrong" locker is revealed) they are guaranteed to win. However, the Monty Hall problem's answer doesn't guarantee you'll win, it just improves your odds. There's still a 10% chance that you picked the right locker on your first try, and that switching will cause you to lose.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_1b3fd35	comment	Mewgenics: Oh, all over the place. That poop-on-command skill seems it might be useful for blocking ranged attacks, right? Except the inertia of the blocked shot launches the poop right into the cat that shat it. Having that super-strong cat you've got breed with as many other cats as possible seems like a great idea, yeah? Except that means most of the next generation is going to be related to each other, resulting in inbreeding which in turn results in fucked-up cats with disorders and deformities. The gameplay is in fact so complex that developer Tyler Gladiel had to set up a program that does nothing but play Mewgenics hours at a time to check for edge cases and bugs.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_223c2a48	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild thrives on this trope, applying real-life rules to the game that must be taken into consideration in order to survive. For instance: You're free to ignore the story quests and make a beeline for the final boss at the first opportunity. You won't learn anything about the story by ignoring the main quests, and you will likely die horribly (those story quests lower the difficulty of the final Boss Rush), but you have the option. Hearts, rupees, and other supplies no longer drop from cutting down grass or breaking pots. You will need to gather food and cook meals to recover health, barter items to earn rupees (although they can still be found in some treasure chests), and use whatever weapons enemies drop to fight. If you're carrying any metallic equipment in a thunderstorm, they will conduct electricity and make you into a lightning rod. To avoid possible death by thunderstrike, you'll need to either drop said equipment, or find shelter. This trait can also be used to your advantage for problem solving: yes you could actually push the metallic blocks onto the open circuits, or you could just drop an iron sword on it for the same outcome. This also affects enemiesâ€™s weapons! When they start sparking, stand well back if you donâ€™t want to die alongside them. Rain will make most surfaces (except Towers) too slippery to climb. It will also put out torches and any fires you try to light without cover (meaning that in many situations, you won't be able to use a fire to wait the rain out). Zig-zagged, however (perhaps because rain is already annoying as it is), in that immediately after rain stops surfaces become climbable again, when realistically they would take hours to dry. You can also walk around in the rain wearing pretty much any kind of clothing (or in your underwear) without it lowering your temperature meter. This is despite the fact that, as anyone who's been caught under heavy rain without cover will tell you, that getting drenched out in the open can get you very cold, and it's even a risk for hypothermia in actual survival situations. Your armor is important when travelling into areas with harsh temperatures: if you don't equip properly insulated armor when going into an area with frigid cold temperatures, you'll take continuous damage from the cold; while not having properly light clothing will cause damage in deserts. The game also correctly recognises that deserts are very cold at night - you'll likely need both outfits to cross the desert. If you fall from a high place, rolling won't save you: you will hit the ground and hurt yourself, or even die. Bomb arrows are rendered useless in rainy weather, due to their fuses getting wet. It's also ill-advised to use them in volcanic areas: the extreme heat will cause them to detonate prematurely and hurt you. Electric arrows are worse than useless in wet areas, like puddles. Water conducts electricity, you know. Fire arrows are not advised in long grass. They can ignite the grass and burn you. In any other Zelda game where they appear, Boomerangs sometimes fly in a straight line, and sometimes they can magically home in on multiple targets, but they always come back. This is not really the case in this game. Like a real boomerang, it will fly in an arch back at where you threw it from, and you actually have to catch it with the right timing, or else it will fall to the ground. And if it hits a wall or other solid object (but not monsters or animals, thankfully), it will drop there, and you'll have to go get it.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_24cecc61	comment	Grand Theft Auto V: One of the later heist missions involves acquiring several muscle cars and tuning them to carry the loot. The game offers pictures of where they might be found and stolen in parking lots spread across the city. Alternatively, if you have been frugal, you can simply whip out your character's smartphone and buy all the cars you need right from the in-game internet. A fast way to lose the cops is to switch vehicles or change clothes (without them seeing you do it). Even if you get spotted in their field of vision, they will ignore you. However, if they find your old car, they'll spot you no matter what you're driving. Convenience store clerks will recognize you if you try to rob them more than once and sometimes will have the cops laying in wait for you... unless you wear a mask they haven't seen before. Taking off or putting on a mask while out of sight will instantly drop a Wanted Level by one star. In Grand Theft Auto IV, it was possible to survive falls from any height into a body of water. In GTA V the result of falling from a great (or even moderate) height into a body of water is the same as in real life - fatal. The protagonists can take damage from motor vehicle collisions. They can also be directly killed by bullets while driving enclosed vehicles, which differs from most GTA games. One mission for the Doomsday Heist requires the player to steal an ambulance, which the game helpfully marks on your radar and it's located somewhere in the city - or you just call 911, request an ambulance and steal that one instead. Your Mission Control even points out that he didn't mention this option because he thought it would be too obvious.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_2680f384	comment	This is a plot point in Log Horizon. When the Elder Tales game becomes real, most inhabitants (former players) continue to try and do things in everyday life the same way the rules were originally defined in the game. For example, creating food through a sub-menu. However, they quickly learn that food prepared this way has no taste. Instead, the protagonists learn that by preparing food yourself, as you would in Real Life, is the only way to create real food. However, you also need a prerequisite skill level in the relevant craft. Eventually, this is used to break the rules of the "game", turning the world of Elder Tales into something entirely new. Another unexpected outcome is the drop in questing by players: As it turns out, even if Death Is a Slap on the Wrist, having monsters actually in your face trying to kill you is a lot scarier than many players were ready for.

When using the persuasion mini-game to raise an NPC's disposition, there is a maximum value that each NPC has. However, if you raise them to this disposition max with your weapon drawn, then back out of the conversation, sheathe your weapon, and re-enter conversation, the penalty will be removed. This results in an instant jump in their disposition beyond what would normally be possible. In order to get the Daedric quest of Namira, Daedric Prince of the Grotesque and Decay, you actually have to be grotesque. You can brew a potion that will low your Personality stat for that, or just consume a lot of alcoholic drinks which will have the same effect.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_45501b8c	comment	Super Metroid: One section of the game has you trying to find a way into Maridia, an area that you can see through a glass tube, but can't get to. The solution is to simply destroy the glass tube with one of your vast array of explosive weaponry—but because your weapons normally only affect enemies and doors, not scenery, it's not obvious. (Unless you've seen the clue in another part of the game, where a similar tube has already been destroyed, or watched the demo that plays after idling on the 'press start' screen, where Samus demonstrates how to access the area.) Shortly after defeating Crocomire, the player runs into a platform which ramps upward, a long pit and blocks that can only be broken by the speed booster. Did you know you could use Super Speed to create a long jump? Well, you do now! The game never told you beforehand that combining Super Speed and long jumping was possible, so the only way you could know about it is to just take a (literal) leap of faith. The "secret" method to beat Draygon is basically the only place that you can grapple onto live wires, with no real indication that you can other than the block the turret sits on being similar in appearance to a standard grapple block.

For the vast majority of the game it seems to be a simple stylistic choice and no one will react to it... until it turns out that one story branch is accessed by thinking about a gun while next to a cop, causing the guy to panic and chase your character into a different area. To be fair, the area is relatively small so it's somewhat easy to do by accident, but it remains the only point in the game where someone will react to the contents of your inventory, with nobody else even flinching at the sight of the gun or any other weird item you can carry.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_4cd32aa7	comment	Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: The combat system enforces strict realism. Unlike Dungeons & Dragons where a high-level PC can carve through hordes of low-level Mooks without any challenge, here there's no way you will win going up against thirty Skaven clanrats. Many monsters and opponents are downright impossible battles for even a well-armed and experienced adventurer party - you really think that your crew of motley, chainmail-clad sellswords are better than a Dragon Ogre? Even small groups of relatively weak enemies which a high-level character could defeat with some ease can possibly end your adventuring career with a lucky crit roll. Arcane magic is quite modest compared to the possible feats of Dungeons & Dragons characters. Compare and contrast: a high-level Wizard in D&D can cast spells like Invulnerability (become immune to all damage for 10 minutes), Time Stop (stop the flow of time for everyone but yourself for about 30 seconds), and Gate (open a portal allowing instantaneous travel to any point); a high-level WFRP Wizard has relatively underwhelming charms like, erm... Curse (everyone in a 10 yard radius sweats profusely and feels fatigued as if they have been working under the hot sun all day) and Form of the Raging Bear (turns the caster into a perfectly ordinary brown bear for a minute or two). Even a mighty wizard can be easily outperformed by a squad of stout men armed with crossbows - why do you think all armies mostly still use mundane weapons like polearms and swords? The presence of diseases and health complications that other RPGs tend to gloss over. Having a zombie bite a chunk out of your arm during a fight sucks, but the real danger is infection from all that bacteria, which can lead to losing the limb or even death if left without medical treatment.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_4e152e8a	comment	Fallout: New Vegas: You can spend most of the game with your gun out and ready to fire without consequences. Places where you shouldn't have a gun out will remove all but holdout weapons, and you can still draw holdouts without causing alarm. But a couple of very tense quests to resolve conflicts between factions that are either about to shoot or are already shooting will only end in violence unless you holster your weapon. Because approaching a hostile situation with a plasma rifle up and ready to fire is naturally going to lead to some assumptions from both sides... Some characters, both major and minor, will react completely differently depending on several factors, such as: what type of clothing you're wearing, what followers you have with you, what your reputation with specific factions is, among other variables. For example, if you want to talk to someone who'd normally be hostile to you because you've killed their allies in the past, you can throw on their ally's armor beforehand, and leave that Follower they hate somewhere out sight. Not realizing this beforehand can lead to situations where you're just minding your own business and someone you've never met opens fire on you for reasons you don't even understand.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Characters in Homestuck retrieve items using complicated "sylladex" systems that require them to think ahead, choose their words carefully, or even play memory games to access each item. Out of frustration, one character just reaches over and takes the item out of his inventory. Physically. With his hand. It works. Even more strangely, the sylladexes aren't even real. They are abstractions and don't exist on the physical plane, yet they are able to hold objects millions of times their size.

The easiest way to stop her? Just put her in a choke hold to knock her out. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has a mad, passionate love affair with this trope. You have to open a locked door. How do you do it? Disguise yourself as a scientist who has business in the building past that door, and knock. The Fear constantly uses up all of his stamina to turn invisible and jump around. He replenishes it by finding food on the battlefield. Thus, Snake can leave his rotten or spoiled food around for The Fear to find and actually poison him with it! The Pain attacks with a swarm of bees in water-filled caverns. And since everyone knows bees hate water, you can actually toss grenades into the water to splash him. You can defeat The End by sniping him the first time he appears in a cutscene, thus skipping his entire boss fight. Barring that, you can also skip the fight entirely by just saving the game and leaving it alone for a few days. Since The End is over 100 years old, he'll actually die waiting for Snake to show up again! You just ingested rotten food and don't have digestive medicine to counteract it, so what do you do? Well, just go to the Medical screen and start spinning Snake around until he gets dizzy and pukes it out! The fake cyanide pill has several uses. Many enemies will reveal their positions, expose vulnerabilities or unlock doors to see what the hell happened if Snake just suddenly "dies" right in front of them.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Arcane magic is quite modest compared to the possible feats of Dungeons & Dragons characters. Compare and contrast: a high-level Wizard in D&D can cast spells like Invulnerability (become immune to all damage for 10 minutes), Time Stop (stop the flow of time for everyone but yourself for about 30 seconds), and Gate (open a portal allowing instantaneous travel to any point); a high-level WFRP Wizard has relatively underwhelming charms like, erm... Curse (everyone in a 10 yard radius sweats profusely and feels fatigued as if they have been working under the hot sun all day) and Form of the Raging Bear (turns the caster into a perfectly ordinary brown bear for a minute or two). Even a mighty wizard can be easily outperformed by a squad of stout men armed with crossbows - why do you think all armies mostly still use mundane weapons like polearms and swords?

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_72a1ac51	comment	One of the missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has you preparing for an upcoming casino heist by requiring you to seduce and date a girl who works at the casino in order to get her key card. Despite some missions in the game not even letting you destroy your highly non-essential car without failing the mission, this mission actually has two options: Go on a couple of dates with her until she gives you the card. Or just kill her. You won't fail anything, and the key card will be right there in her house (which unlike any of the other girlfriends, is actually a fully modeled space which you can only access if she dies). If you make CJ extremely fat, it will affect more than just his appearance and the comments NPCs make on his body. CJ's extra weight will make him run slower and tire out more easily and he won't be able to jump as high, which makes the taller fences out of reach for him to climb. CJ will also punch slower. There's also one mission you won't be able to start because it requires stealing a jetpack and CJ's big belly would prevent him using the jetpack's belt to secure it to him, thus he needs to lose weight in order to make it fit.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_73b4d4c1	comment	Call of Cthulhu: Combat in the Purist version of the game is a messy and terrifying affair that should be avoided if at all possible. A moderately-tough Investigator might be lucky to have 12 or 13HP, something to consider when a shot from a bolt-action rifle deals 2d6+4 (6 to 16) damage, or a good stab from a switchblade deals 6+1d6+DB. What we're trying to say is, a One-Hit Kill is a very strong possibility from any attack. And even if the character gets lucky, they will still be very seriously injured and require weeks of rest and recovery in a hospital bed. A Tome of Eldritch Lore might take weeks or even months to study. The books are usually written in obscure occult jargon and bizarre cyphers (as black magic is something you tend to want to keep a secret!), from a time where standards of literacy were much lower, and the person who wrote it was probably a lunatic so expect badly-communicated instructions and rambling notes. Don't expect a contents page or glossary either. And if you do glean some spell out of it, it might not even work because of a missing page or a blurred line.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Every dungeon has two maps: one that Link makes and one that he finds. Unlike later games, the latter will not fill in the former or show where he has been, so the player has to actually compare the two maps on their own. Twilight Princess: In the City in the Sky, at one point Link enters a bottomless room guarded by two lizalfos. Simply take two steps forward into the room (after the door locks behind you) and both leap to their doom while trying to come after you. Another Twilight Princess example is the second jousting match with King Bulblin. The first time, you rode Epona past his boar and swung your sword to knock him off, a la a proper joust. The second time you face him, he's wearing armor on his sides that protects him from sword swings. How do you properly joust him this time? Who said anything about jousting? Just pull out your bow and shoot him a few times in the chest. At one point you run into a snow drift that blocks your way while following a scent. There's nowhere to climb over it and none of your items seem to help. Just dash into it and the snow collapses. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild thrives on this trope, applying real-life rules to the game that must be taken into consideration in order to survive. For instance: You're free to ignore the story quests and make a beeline for the final boss at the first opportunity. You won't learn anything about the story by ignoring the main quests, and you will likely die horribly (those story quests lower the difficulty of the final Boss Rush), but you have the option. Hearts, rupees, and other supplies no longer drop from cutting down grass or breaking pots. You will need to gather food and cook meals to recover health, barter items to earn rupees (although they can still be found in some treasure chests), and use whatever weapons enemies drop to fight. If you're carrying any metallic equipment in a thunderstorm, they will conduct electricity and make you into a lightning rod. To avoid possible death by thunderstrike, you'll need to either drop said equipment, or find shelter. This trait can also be used to your advantage for problem solving: yes you could actually push the metallic blocks onto the open circuits, or you could just drop an iron sword on it for the same outcome. This also affects enemiesâ€™s weapons! When they start sparking, stand well back if you donâ€™t want to die alongside them. Rain will make most surfaces (except Towers) too slippery to climb. It will also put out torches and any fires you try to light without cover (meaning that in many situations, you won't be able to use a fire to wait the rain out). Zig-zagged, however (perhaps because rain is already annoying as it is), in that immediately after rain stops surfaces become climbable again, when realistically they would take hours to dry. You can also walk around in the rain wearing pretty much any kind of clothing (or in your underwear) without it lowering your temperature meter. This is despite the fact that, as anyone who's been caught under heavy rain without cover will tell you, that getting drenched out in the open can get you very cold, and it's even a risk for hypothermia in actual survival situations. Your armor is important when travelling into areas with harsh temperatures: if you don't equip properly insulated armor when going into an area with frigid cold temperatures, you'll take continuous damage from the cold; while not having properly light clothing will cause damage in deserts. The game also correctly recognises that deserts are very cold at night - you'll likely need both outfits to cross the desert. If you fall from a high place, rolling won't save you: you will hit the ground and hurt yourself, or even die. Bomb arrows are rendered useless in rainy weather, due to their fuses getting wet. It's also ill-advised to use them in volcanic areas: the extreme heat will cause them to detonate prematurely and hurt you. Electric arrows are worse than useless in wet areas, like puddles. Water conducts electricity, you know. Fire arrows are not advised in long grass. They can ignite the grass and burn you. In any other Zelda game where they appear, Boomerangs sometimes fly in a straight line, and sometimes they can magically home in on multiple targets, but they always come back. This is not really the case in this game. Like a real boomerang, it will fly in an arch back at where you threw it from, and you actually have to catch it with the right timing, or else it will fall to the ground. And if it hits a wall or other solid object (but not monsters or animals, thankfully), it will drop there, and you'll have to go get it.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_7f9dbbce	comment	Far Cry 4 opens with a long cutscene depicting Ajay Ghale, the main character, being captured by the Obviously Evil Pagan Min. Pagan invites Ajay to join him for dinner, but then needs to run off to attend to an emergency before politely asking Ajay to sit tight and wait for him to get back. Normally, as in any other action game, this would be the point where you escape from the madman's palace and join the resistance, and the game expects you (and, given Pagan Min's obvious mental instability and violent tendencies, is actively prompting you) to do just that. However, to get the secret ending, you can do what any sane non-combatant would do in real life: do what Min told you to do and wait patiently. After about 10 minutes, he'll come back, apologize for the delay, and then happily tell Ajay everything about his mother, even taking him via helicopter to where his mother wanted her ashes to be buried, allowing Ajay to fulfill his objective without any problems at all. Not only is this the most realistic course of action, but it is also arguably the best ending of the game (and easily the most optimistic one.) The game does hint at the possibility of this option with the song lyric "Should I stay or should I go?" right after the bus scene. Of course, it does pretty much entirely skip the actual gameplay of the game, and the whole story ends in about 15 minutes.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_806c20e5	comment	The Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne meta-franchise in general is all about making melee combat more complex than a lot of games where you maybe have a light and a heavy attack and a block/parry button and the only difference specific weapons have is their damage stats. Each weapon has different attack animations, and it's not just a cosmetic difference; successfully landing a hit requires the hitbox of your weapon to collide with a vulnerable spot on the enemy. (The difference between slashing and stabbing weapons is the most obvious example.) There are even sub-hitboxes within the weapon that deal varying damage—hitting with the broadest part of a sword hurts more than nicking them with the tip. If you're fighting in close quarters, the weapon can also clang off a nearby wall and miss the target. Also, weapon durability is a thing, but letting it go down to 0 doesn't cause the entire weapon to vanish into thin air; it just becomes unusable until you repair it.

There is a pushable block nearby, but standing on the block still leaves the ledge just out of reach. There is a switch the player can hit that causes a square part of the floor to raise up on a thin, round pillar, but it falls back down too quickly for the player to use it. The solution is to kick the block UNDER the raised floor (touching the pillar, and letting the floor-section rest atop it) before it falls.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: In Morrowind and Oblivion, speaking to an NPC with your weapon drawn will decrease that NPC's disposition, essentially averting Guns in Church. In order to avoid the disposition drop, you literally have to Sheathe Your Sword. This comes as a surprise to many gamers, who are quite used to the video game idea of being able to walk around holding a sword of pure evil and a small armory strapped across your back without NPCs even batting an eye. Oblivion: Swinging back to Misaimed "Realism", it is possible to exploit the above example in order to get higher NPC dispositions than would normally be possible. When using the persuasion mini-game to raise an NPC's disposition, there is a maximum value that each NPC has. However, if you raise them to this disposition max with your weapon drawn, then back out of the conversation, sheathe your weapon, and re-enter conversation, the penalty will be removed. This results in an instant jump in their disposition beyond what would normally be possible. In order to get the Daedric quest of Namira, Daedric Prince of the Grotesque and Decay, you actually have to be grotesque. You can brew a potion that will low your Personality stat for that, or just consume a lot of alcoholic drinks which will have the same effect.

In one instance, the player is confronted with a riotous mob of civilians threatening to kill the player after having already lynched one of your squadmates. Naturally being a shooter, the expected response would be to gun them down, especially since the scene begins with the players weapons drawn and aimed at the mob along with your squadmate begging to shoot them. However, if the player simply fires warning shots into the air or ground, or even melee attacks one of them, the civilians all run away, allowing the player to pass without killing anyone.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_a895e9d3	comment	The Portal 2 developer commentary mentions that due to having the thought that portals appear instantly when you press the button rammed into players brains, play-testers were confused when they fired a portal at the moon and it, realistically, didn't appear instantly, due to the vast distance. Play-testers would not see a portal appear and look away. They made it so that the camera fixes once you've fired the portal, to stop confused players looking away. The vast distance and the speed at which the portal travels is actually calculated to the exact second, so players won't be waiting for long. The developers assumed that the portal gun operates at the speed of light. It takes light 1.28 (approximately) seconds to travel between the earth and the moon. The flash of the portal opening on the moon appears at exactly double this time (since first the portal has to travel there, then the light from it opening has to travel back). They really did their homework.note Well, except for the fact that if opening a portal made a flash bright enough to be seen from the moon, opening a portal in the same room would be blinding. But not showing the flash at all would have been impossibly confusing.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_a913877a	comment	Project Zomboid: In a game of this detail, it's hard to say what realism would be unexpected, but try these: With hundreds of buildings to loot, some will be locked, so you can usually smash a window instead. The "expected" result (assuming you didn't try to use your bare hands) is that the noise will draw zombies; "unexpected" is that climbing through it will injure those hands severely if you didn't take a moment to clear the glass shards, and you might need a tweezers item to deal with the trauma effectively. A leg can be broken from a fall. "Expected" is that anyone can fashion a splint from sticks and rags. "Unexpected" may be that you will actually have to keep that splint on for in-game weeks (already better than the real-life months!) before your zombie-competitive mobility is restored. There is a setting for the realism of reloading firearms. Given that there are three choices, it might be "expected" that at the highest setting you would need to pay attention to individual rounds in individual magazines, and this it true. It might, however, be "unexpected" that if you misuse the "rack-the-action" button when there is already a round in the chamber, an unfired round will be ejected to the ground for you to pick upâ€”or not.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_ad1ffac9	comment	In Virtua Fighter, Taka-Arashi's size and weight as a sumo wrestler is accounted for in a way most other fighting games downplay or ignore: Many combos that are otherwise universal against the cast do not work on him as his juggle gravity is unique within the cast. On the other hand, this adjusted gravity can open up unique routes that wouldn't work on lighter opponents. In other games...Usually, basic "bread and butter combos" can be discovered which work on the entire cast while character-specific combos can be optimized to account for the opponent's size and/or weight and are intended to be learned at a higher competitive level. Throws that otherwise work perfectly fine against heavyweights like Wolf and Jeffry animate differently on Taka as his weight causes the opponent to visibly struggle. This also means that the result of the throw can change; Lau Chan and Pai Chan, for example, can't even do their overhead flip throw properly against Taka and lose a wall combo opportunity because he doesn't wallsplat like everyone else. In other games... Size is also almost never a factor when throws are concerned; they are usually animated identically regardless of the opponent being a lightweight pipsqueak or a ten foot tall brute.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_b87de35b	comment	Super Mario Sunshine confounded many players with the physics for moving around on a boat. Getting on the boat and shooting FLUDD made the boat move as if shooting the water was applying thrust. For example, shooting behind the boat made the boat move forward. In that sense, it follows cartoony physics that are easy to understand. However, when it comes to turning, things are a little trickier. Sometimes shooting left would turn the boat right, as expected, but sometimes it didn't work out so cleanly. The explanation comes from where Mario is standing on the boat; if he's standing near the back of the boat, shooting left shifts the back of the boat to the right, therefore the front of the boat turns left.

Disguise yourself as a scientist who has business in the building past that door, and knock. The Fear constantly uses up all of his stamina to turn invisible and jump around. He replenishes it by finding food on the battlefield. Thus, Snake can leave his rotten or spoiled food around for The Fear to find and actually poison him with it! The Pain attacks with a swarm of bees in water-filled caverns. And since everyone knows bees hate water, you can actually toss grenades into the water to splash him. You can defeat The End by sniping him the first time he appears in a cutscene, thus skipping his entire boss fight. Barring that, you can also skip the fight entirely by just saving the game and leaving it alone for a few days. Since The End is over 100 years old, he'll actually die waiting for Snake to show up again! You just ingested rotten food and don't have digestive medicine to counteract it, so what do you do? Well, just go to the Medical screen and start spinning Snake around until he gets dizzy and pukes it out! The fake cyanide pill has several uses. Many enemies will reveal their positions, expose vulnerabilities or unlock doors to see what the hell happened if Snake just suddenly "dies" right in front of them.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_dfabfce5	comment	Red Dead Redemption 2 has way more of this than the first game: You carry your sidearms everywhere you go, but actually drawing them outside of combat realistically causes people to Freak Out; some flee, some scold you for your Reckless Gun Usage, and others still assume you're about to start shooting and pull their own weapons. Dirt, mud, water, snow, and blood will accumulate on your clothes and body unless you clean up semi-regularly. That's not this trope. What pushes it into this is that people will respond to your appearance; namely, reacting with horror and disgust because you smell horrible and look like a deranged hobo, with many refusing to interact with you until you clean up. Think you can Take Your Time with animal carcasses while hunting? Wrong. Animals you've killed will decompose after enough time, and this can even be affected by temperature like in real life (slow in cold areas, fast in hot). The weapon used to kill them and where you hit will also impact the quality of the body; don't shoot small animals with high powered rifles if you want anything usable left behind. Disguises are a lot more complicated than you think. You may think you can get away by just wearing a mask like in the first game, but if you commit multiple crimes in the same area and don't change all of your clothing, people will recognize you from your Limited Wardrobe and alert the law, earning you a bounty. And if you commit crimes without a disguise, people will naturally recognize you on-sight and respond with hostility, even if you've paid off your bounty.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_e1ec0e62	comment	In Grand Theft Auto IV, it was possible to survive falls from any height into a body of water. In GTA V the result of falling from a great (or even moderate) height into a body of water is the same as in real life - fatal.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_e48493b3	comment	Given that Ultima is an Unbuilt Trope of Role-Playing Games,note From Ultima IV onward, of which was made in response to complaints about the questionable morality of previous installments. many of the conventions modern gamers take for granted have startling ramifications, as well as a few oddities they wouldn't expect: Theft is punished not only with a drop in the Karma Meter, but also retaliation from witnesses of the crime. The only items that are acceptable to take are either ones that have been purchased, granted permission, or - in the case of dungeons or slain enemies - have no current owner. From Ultima VI onward, the player could also pick up mundane items that have no bearing on their quest, yet would still be treated as theft to the same degree as if the player stole a useful item. The Armageddon spell is far more than just Last Disc Magic: true to its name, it kills everyone in the setting, other than the player character and any characters granted with Nigh-Invulnerability (including Lord British and the villains). There's no way to undo the ramifications of the spell without reloading an earlier save (if one is even available). When asked why he always created so many situations in which the player is forced to kill children in combat, Richard Garriott stated that in those situations, there were several other ways to resolve the combat without killing them. For example, casting Charm Person or Forced Sleep on them, or dropping your weapon and then punching them until they run away.

The very first change, however, is suggested under circumstances where the family isn't very quick to get to the control room and make the change, so you need to remain on Blue to trap one more auger, and then switch to the new color.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_ec02633a	comment	The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Some opponents will challenge Geralt to a bare-knuckle fight to make a point or win a bet, and Geralt will automatically unequip his weapons. If either loses, they wonâ€™t die and bargains are usually upheld. However, your weapons and abilities are still there...so thereâ€™s usually nothing stopping the player from attacking the opponent with them. However, from this point onward, they will assume Geralt is now trying to kill them, and the fight now becomes like any other battle where Geralt and his enemies can die, and any rules or agreements are now moot. If the opponent is also armed or has abilities, they will use them.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: Super Metroid: One section of the game has you trying to find a way into Maridia, an area that you can see through a glass tube, but can't get to. The solution is to simply destroy the glass tube with one of your vast array of explosive weaponry—but because your weapons normally only affect enemies and doors, not scenery, it's not obvious. (Unless you've seen the clue in another part of the game, where a similar tube has already been destroyed, or watched the demo that plays after idling on the 'press start' screen, where Samus demonstrates how to access the area.) Shortly after defeating Crocomire, the player runs into a platform which ramps upward, a long pit and blocks that can only be broken by the speed booster. Did you know you could use Super Speed to create a long jump? Well, you do now! The game never told you beforehand that combining Super Speed and long jumping was possible, so the only way you could know about it is to just take a (literal) leap of faith. The "secret" method to beat Draygon is basically the only place that you can grapple onto live wires, with no real indication that you can other than the block the turret sits on being similar in appearance to a standard grapple block. Metroid remake Metroid: Zero Mission repeats this in the Space Pirate Mothership, where shattering a glass tube with a power bomb is the only way to backtrack to the rest of Zebes and grab power-ups you missed or couldn't get before gaining the new powers of the Legendary/Fully Powered Power Suit, and much like in Super, nowhere else in the game does Samus's arsenal alter the environment beyond breaking certain blocks and revealing certain power-ups. At one point in Metroid Fusion Samus comes across a variant of the X Parasites that will harm her if she absorbs them. When Samus obtains a way to safely absorb them like the other X Parasites, the harmful X Parasites at first will just kamikaze themselves on Samus, but after that in any other room of the game they will flee from Samus like the other X Parasites. If you continue to avoid them, they will continue to chase you until you manage to absorb a few, to the point a good enough player could never even let them learn Samus is now immune to cold.

You need to teach him a lesson by challenging him to a fight, which is then played out in the usual turn-based manner of the game. While the guy is a relatively tough opponent, with every turn there's a chance he'll fail to hit you because of his drunken state, a mechanic that's not seen elsewhere in the game.
