Does this make any sense? (Part 1)

Hello all. I thought of writing yet another blog and this time I was thinking of new series blog idea. So I came up with this. Apparently I have been playing a hell lot of uncountable number of games in my whole life. I sometimes came across so many weird stuffs in the game that did not make any sense. Sometimes it was funny; sometimes it was deceiving, sometimes it was mind-blowing. Although it is not good in developers’ perspectives, I feel it’s entertaining because these elements allowed so much criticism and humor in the internet. So I am here to show you some elements in the game that totally does not make any sense.

 

1. Game: Wizards and Warriors II: Iron Sword (NES)

 

 

Eyewitness report: When the character approaches a fat looking chicken to have it, the character experiences dizziness, falls down and the health bar gets decreased.

 

Analysis: OK! So eating a normal chicken in the game will replenish your health, but a fat chicken will do just the opposite. How can this be possible? I have been having chicken (normal or fat or whatever) all my life and nothing happens to me. So I think there is something wrong with this particular chicken. Is this chicken infused with steroids (Don’t do drugs)? If it’s so then I think it could be a highly reactive steroid, where the character becomes strong and within milliseconds, the strength of the character wears out giving negative effect. Is the drug so reactive? Someone is quite smart enough to sabotage Kudos. Is it poisonous? It could be logical guess. Still this game should not put fat chicken (yummy) in the game for negative purposes. It’s just insults the chicken civilization who have been feeding us for generations. Still whatever my conclusion is, the developers could have make things simple. What normal gamers usually expect. Bigger and better food gives better health. The game violates the rule. Also it is to be noted that most poisonous food in NES games always are painted with purple, not in normal food color, but in this game the fat chicken is in normal chicken color straight out of oven. Blasphemy!!!!!!

 

2. Mortal Kombat

 

 

Eyewitness report: Liu Kang’s fatality is not gory at all or does not even look fatal but the opponent sees his own demise.

 

Analysis: Ok Mortal Kombat was the game that shocked the gaming industry with its gore level from fatalities. All characters had some quite deadly fatality moves (most of them with decapitations). So why is Liu Kang being assigned with such a lame fatality move? If you can see, Liu Kang initiates some series of kicks and finally finishes off with uppercut. I thought Liu Kang’s normal bicycle move could even more powerful than this and also there is a basic simple uppercut move with every character. Not a single combatants as strong as they are should not deserve to be dead from this puny little move. It seems these combatants are performing Hara-Kiri with the help of Liu Kang, because they feel they don’t deserve to live in the crazy little world where Shang Tsung takes soul away from people and make slaves.  Are the developers being so lazy that they didn’t even bother to give Liu Kang a proper fatality? Or they just thought “Oh come on, Liu Kang is as good as a lamb!” Bloody hell, this is the reason why Liu Kang, being the so-called champion of Earthrealm, is one of the least likeable characters in Mortal Kombat.

 

3. Aerosmith’s Revolution X (Genesis and SNES)

 

 

Eyewitness report: You can destroy anything with greater damage than a gun with CD!!!!!!!

 

Analysis: Oh what!!! CD??? A weapon??? Bloody hell!!! It gets even better. You can destroy anything, whether it is a soldier, building structure, or even a armored Apache chopper and a armored vehicle. This is how powerful a compact disk can be. Let me check my CDs. Are they sharp? Not at all! Are they heavy? Negative. Are they flammable? Even if they are, the flame will destroy the CD itself. Are they explosive? I don’t think so. Are they hard enough to knock people out or even kill them? Probably I think. Maybe because my brains got damaged after watching the movie Hellraiser II. Think it sensibly, CDs are vey light and you have to change the laws of physics just to make it destructive against armored cars. I guess the only sensible reason I can give is that player got motivated because Steven Tyler, the vocal of Aerosmith band, reminded the player with the following speech “Music is the weapon.”  The words are enough to make the player defy gravity and shoot CDs at infinite velocity.

 

4. Star Wars (Every single game that have Jedis and Sith in it)

 

 

Eyewitness: Killing everyone using a Lightsaber.

 

Analysis: How can someone kill anyone using a sword made of light? Is light really harmful for us? I know it is harmful for vampires, but in the Star War universe, there is no such thing as vampires. During my primary school days I used to know that light is a source of life, a source of energy (especially for plants). Here light is considered a killer element. So how can a light be so destructive? A logical explanation can be given from the magnifying glass experiment where light can cause small burns through magnifying glass. I do suppose there is a powerful magnifying glass inside the hilt. Seems logical enough. What about the sun? You can’t bring the whole sun and put it inside the hilt. The light source should be made through plasma, but the problem is that no single element would be able to withstand the penetrative power of the plasma of such energy enough to create destruction, not even the hilt, regardless of what material it is made. To make things even more complicated, how can a light cut through something in seconds?

 

5. Big Rigs: Over the Road racing

 

 

Eyewitness report: Your truck can go forward with normal speed but your truck can go at infinite speed in reverse.

 

Analysis: Ok I can understand that Big Rigs is considered one of the worst games of all time, with so many notable problem and senseless things in it. However, I cant leave out the fact, how can a truck can go over 99999999 mph (whatever the number you can put in) whereas you can go forward at fairly normal trucking speed. Think about the number, it is even faster than the Bugatti Veyron S. Forget Bugatti , it is even faster than ThrustSSC. Oh wait, it is even faster than the unmanned rail vehicle that holds the speed record of Mach 8.5 The simple heavy truck puts everyone in shame. How this is even possible. Even NASA is so confused about the technology that the developers used for this truck. The developers should have been given a Noble Prize for the feat and another one for breaking the speed record in reverse. I simply can’t have any logical answer for that. I give up.

 

So that’s all for the time being. I will come back for more of this weird stuffs in future. In the mean time have a good day.
