10 Ways You're Worse At Video Games Than You Think

10. Enemies Miss (On Purpose?!)

As the capabilities of consoles have continued to defy expectations and push boundaries, the line between a genuine gaming title and a Hollywood blockbuster has begun to blur. Games like Unchartered are some of the best examples of this, with its jaw-dropping visuals and incredible spectacles paired with death-defying, all-action sequences.

However, whilst players are living their best lives and marvelling at their impressive stunt work, they might overlook just how many times they should have been killed by their enemies.

'Stormtrooper aim' might be one of the most memed parts of the film industry - with enemies missing easy shots at shameful rates - but it remains just as prevalent in the gaming industry too. Developers in franchises like Uncharted often purposefully programme their AI enemies to miss their first couple of shots on a player in order to ramp up the adrenaline, force them into cover and present a more cinematic shootout experience.

Other games design enemies to approach more slowly, allowing time for players to take up a position and adjust, whilst some even lower the accuracy of their enemies the closer to a player they get.
