This came up recently when talking with a friend about cyberpunk 2077, talking about the vehicles in the game. He prefers the more off road style cars because they look more “mad max” and I agreed that yes they do look cool, but all the actual cars in the game are a pain to drive because they are so big and unwieldy, and it’s difficult to pass and weave through traffic with them, so 99.9% of the time I drive the motorcycles in Cyberpunk.
But in real life I am not a fan of motorcycles, I feel way, way, too unsafe on them. I can’t imagine driving on a highway at 65+ mph with nothing but a leather suit protecting me from death and injury. Hell no, no thanks. Never gonna happen.
But in games all the safety concerns vanish and I am left with only the benefits. So it’s a win win, I get great acceleration, and I’m small so I can weave and dodge in between things with ease.
Another thing I love in games but dislike in real life is Snow.
It’s cold, its wet, its slippery, it’s a nightmare to drive in, it hard to walk in, etc
But in games like Skyrim, or Witcher (or any game you like that has snow in it) you get all the benefits without the draw backs (usually)
You get to see the snow blanket a landscape, and it looks so beautiful and serene. You can see the sun come up and tinge a snow covered field orange with the first rays of the mornings light. I absolutely love it, aesthetically.
It real life, hell no. In real life snow is one of those things that I like only when I choose to go to it, not when it chooses to come to me.
What things do you guys enjoy in games that you dislike IRL?
