10 Exact Moments Where Video Game Immersion Was Shattered

10. Being Over-Encumbered

Finishing a challenging quest, picking up your loot and then realising your movement speed has slowed to a snail's pace is an incredibly common experience in video games, and an incredibly painful one.

Now, it's worth saying these systems aren't put in for no reason. If you were allowed to collect everything you could without limit, most Fallout players would keep a hundred pieces of power armour in their inventory because nobody was stopping them.

However, it's also undeniably frustrating to have to throw out twelve cabbages or a ton of weird junk you were planning on selling later just because you need to get your backpack lighter. People play video games, generally, to have fun, not to have to crunch the math on how many bat wings it takes to be twenty kilograms lighter.

Also, you'll often find yourself unable to part with anything, which leaves you on a fun, totally relaxing quest where you have to slowly crawl seven miles to sell all the valuable but useless junk you have sat in your overloaded inventory.
