25 Video Game Mechanics That Simply Don't Work In Real Life

Videogame characters do not believe in walking. 99% of the time, these guys and gals will run absolutely everywhere. It's their default moving speed.

If you look at most people, they tend not to be in a particular hurry to get anywhere. It's very rare you'll see people running constantly (maybe they know they'll exhaust their stamina wheels too quickly).

In gaming, you actually quite often have to either hold down another button, or move the analogue stick ever so gently to actually get a character to walk. Even then, they're itching to get away from you; tilt that analogue even a fragment too much, and they're gonna start running again.

You'd probably get more done on a daily basis if you did run everywhere, but you'd probably be more than a bit knackered.
