25 Video Game Mechanics That Simply Don't Work In Real Life
19. Regenerating Health
If only curing a disease was as easy as sauntering over to a random object and walking over it. If only one could shun off bullet damage simply by crouching behind a small wall until all the aches and pains fade away. If only you could get bitten by a dinosaur and apply a small bandage from a medical kit and be completely fine afterwards.
Imagine if this happened in real life. Got a sniffle? Simply pop down to the doctor's office and ingest a heart to recover fully. There's be absolute anarchy. We're talking people finding completely cooked turkeys on the street which they absorb directly into their body to cure paper cuts.
This is most definitely one of those mechanics that simply doesn't translate over into real life. It'd probably be damn handy though!
