25 Video Game Mechanics That Simply Don't Work In Real Life
18. Climbing Tall Towers To Find Where You Are
Maps are a very useful navigational tool. But what about if you could only use a map if you first ascended to the top of a large building, tower or object in order for the map to be revealed to you?
I mean, imagine you were in the middle of Paris. You're completely lost, with no way to get about. Google Maps is refusing to work. Traditional paper maps are blurry. The only way to reveal the way towards something is to locate the Eiffel Tower, get to the very top of it, and reveal these maps. Only then will you be able to find anything in the local vicinity.
Doesn't really work in real life, does it? On the other hand, it's probably a great way to explore things for yourself and see those things you might have missed if you were glued to Google Maps.
