25 Video Game Mechanics That Simply Don't Work In Real Life
21. Reduced Visibility With Crouched Walking And/Or Hiding In A Bush
Have you ever been in the middle of the street and saw somebody in the distance walking towards you, and then they've just suddenly completely disappeared? They must have started crouch walking - don't you know it reduces your visibility significantly?
In countless games, the crouch walk is an integral part of being stealthy. Even if an enemy has spotted you, you can instantly become around 50% more invisible by simply bending your knees and doing a weird little shuffle.
You can then lose another person entirely by simply hiding in a bush or some handily-placed tall grass. Don't worry about it, unless they're standing directly next to you, you're pretty much going to be completely safe.
Yeah, this one really doesn't work in real life. If you ever do see someone trying to hide in a bush, maybe just humour them.
