10 Times Video Games Were TOO Realistic
6. Breaking A Leg - Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid puts a great emphasis on realism in order to make your zombie apocalypse experience feel more dreadfully immersive.
One of the most detailed and fleshed-out systems in the game is the health tracker for your character. Each injury you suffer can be applied to different parts of your body and comes in a variety of kinds, such as cuts, fractures, burns, and, of course, zombie bites.
The game even makes sure to make the virtual injuries last as long as their real-life counterparts, and while this definitely sounds impressive, you quickly realize it is also excruciatingly frustrating the moment your character breaks a leg.
Those who have had the displeasure of breaking their leg in real life will be surprised by the cringe-worthy accuracy of Project Zomboid's take on it. Your character can barely walk, the intense pain prevents them from doing work or even sleeping, and the broken appendage takes almost a whole month to heal!
Yes, the game is so realistic that it will have you lumbering around and resting for weeks, just to make sure your previous injury is accurate to your real-life experiences.
Ah, sitting around and barely doing anything! My favorite type of gameplay!
