It's a little different when walking behind some stranger though. I've had instances where they walked too slow to comfortably stay behind, but I had to put in considerably more effort and speed to pass them without running in order to walk comfortably once again. In short: The person you're walking with/next to is your co-op partner. The people you're walking behind are the NPC's.
Easier in real life: "Hey there is a box in the way blocking this hallway. I'll just step over it." Video games: "Better spend 20 minutes finding an alternate route!"
Better yet, here's a locked door that I must get in, might as well ram it! It's abandon anyways! Video Games: I gotta solve this overly complicated lock puzzle or I need a key(s) or the worst yet, I need key(s) so I can solve this overly complicated lock puzzle just to open the door to a closet.
so much that. It's obviously a game-ism. like how many games let you break only a handful of specific object, but only what the devs want you to break.
This reminds me of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, their are several locked gates, all around the different maps, that you need keys to unlock. Except, most of these gate are only like 6 1/2 to 7 Ft. tall, and you can easily jump over 15 FT., Or what about that massive, 90+ Lbs. Sword on your back, can't you just destroy they gate with it. Nope, need to find a key.
This annoyed me so hard the first few hours until I realised that actually looking out for candles and trying not to do that consumes mutch more time than just putting out the damn candles so I just accepted it
Interacting with bosses. My boss just two hours ago: Have a nice weekend! That giant whateverthehellitis at the end of Trails of Cold Steel 2: /calls its subordinates to mob me, eats me and my colleagues alive and spits us out when it's punched hard enough, mass-removes buffs and leaves us all with just 1HP in a single action
Intentionally not being sarcastic. I can't count how many times I thought I was clicking on a sincere response, only to have the voice actor for my character deliver it in the most sarcastic way possible and end up with a new enemy.
Oh yeah, I remember in starwars Kotor online I got my lightsaber and the prompt "I will use this well" to say to my master, I thought I was going to say something like "I will use this against our enemies, my master" or "I'll make sure our enemies know fear with this".... the actual response? "Muder and mayhem await!" 0_0
Managing your inventory is much easier in real life than in RE 2 and 3 remake because if I’m carrying too much of something in real life I can just set it down and come back to it instead of you know ERASING IT FROM EXISTENCE in game.
I always thought it was weird how in games, especially JRPGs, dropping an item meant breaking the Law of Conservation of Mass, since that's the only explanation I can think of for the item just disappearing into the ether.
Taking a direct route. Hey that item we need is right there. We could just hop over this log. Video game. No you can't do that, you've got to walk along this trail for a mile, find an underground passage, which leads back through puzzle ridden walkways and climb a ladder to it.
"We're able to go about our daily lives collision-free." Me, cleaning up the spilled water around my cat's water bowl that I just (accidently) kicked for the 3rd time this week: Yup, sounds just like me!
Also easier in real life: putting things down in an orderly and upright fashion and not cleaning out the whole shelf trying to do so. *cough*Fallout*cough*
You know what’s easier to do in real life? Knowing where I’m being hit. You know when you get shot down in a game and can’t figure out where they are? I think I’d only need to get hit once. “Owie! To the left. Got it.”
Easier in real life: Knowing where you are being hit. Much more difficult in real life: Actually wondering where that bullet just came from and thinking about effective counter-measures to prevent them from shooting you again instead of going into a full on panick or just straight up fainting from the system shock.
That would mean that people lacking common sense are the same as speed runners circumventing the invisible wall. They reach the end much faster. (that got dark quickly)
I live in a small town and it often happens my main quest, like buying groceries or doing my morning run, gets hi jacked by bumping into someone, or several someones, I know and end up doing a side quest instead.
Climbing over knee to waist high obstacles. I loved how Cloud had to scale and cross an entire building to get to the other side of 2 cars in the middle of the road.
“I could just jump right now,” you think to yourself, before mentally recoiling at the thought as you withdraw from the ledge. You’re not alone. The French have a phrase for it: l’appel du vide, the call of the void. If you’ve experienced this feeling in a completely non-suicidal way, there’s no definitive conclusion or explanation for it. It is, however, a feeling common enough that studies have been dedicated it.
For a summer I worked construction on a high rise. Everyday when I go to the top floor I would think how easy it would be to just jump before going about my day. Glad to know there's a phrase for it!
I've had a similar thought whenever Im at the top of a really high stairwell in a building. I look over the side of the protective railing and wonder if I could survive the fall.
One potential explanation I've heard for it is that your brain can't rationalize you being voluntarily so close to mortal danger, so it concludes that you must then _want_ to fall down. In any case, it's a really interesting human quirk.
You may have said it jokingly but as someone who has struggled with suicidal thoughts, the small "congratulations, you're still alive" actually means something
Every time I play Skyrim, I have a growing book collection that I try to organize on the shelf. I can't help it! I love books, I get a house with shelves, of course I want to have them look nice. I've spent over an hour trying to organize my book collection, only for Lydia to walk up to me and knock them all over. Now she's not allowed in my house.
Climbing in any game in which the character isn't an Ezio or a Nathan Drake. I mean it's not the easiest thing the world but the amount of times I've yelled "Oh come on, I could climb that hill!" to my gta or Skyrim character is borders on ludicrous.
To be fair: Its easy to stay alive in real life because we don't fight demons, zombies, evil warlords, aliens, ghosts and more. Also we don't enter nuclear testing facilities, spacestations, demon infested forests, haunted mansions and more in real life. If we would do those things I can tell you one thing: staying alive would be much harder than in videogames.
Yeah that cliff one gets me every time, I take no responsibility, I actually yell at the character "come on dude you clearly knew what I was trying to do!"
Wow, congrats on quitting heroin dude. That's a big platinum trophy! (Second language speaker, sorry if "quitting" is not the correct verb for this sentence, I really spent some time choosing a verb)
Saving progress. You never have to worry about manually saving. Although sometimes I wish I could go back to a previous save, but it's constantly auto saving on me. It's like the Dark Souls of life.
Not having the same, very specific, conversation with someone for the 100th time. Mainly the result of the other thing that's easier in real life - remembering someone who you met 10 seconds earlier
Talking, or rather picking the right thing to say is also much easier. We don’t have to pick between only four options. We can pick between endless words and weasel our way out of situations that would often result in a deadly fight in video games.
Walking over a curb over 2 inch ledge, when your character is a 250 pound 20 year military veteran of super secret special forces. Nope.. have to go around it or press the "climb/mount" button
I had the opportunity to fly a plane in real life, actually two different ones, Cessna 172 and Cessna 182 this was back in 2008 and believe me, landing in real life was MUCH easier than landing in the sims i played at the time. I was such a bad sim lander i didnt even want to attempt it until my instructor/orientation pilot convinced me that it wasn’t hard. Turns out he was right. Wasn’t the softest landing in the world but it was better than i could have done in a sim.
Hey Rob! I wanted to tell you about some ideas I have for Friday Features to make your work kinda easier, you know, with the kid and all. I've been writing them for in the comments for years, so as a long-time teen fan, here are my ideas: 1. Games that encourage you to cheat, like the SIms 4 with the cheat bar (cheats like Motherload, $50,000, giving twins to a woman or man immediately, etc.) or Uncharted games with the cheats for different guns or infinite ammo. 2.RPGs that cannot be completed in more than 100 hours, like Fallout 4(settlements), Ni No Kuni 2 (kingdom building), Kingdom Hearts (too many collectibles!), and so on. 3. Game franchises too big for their own good, FF, Kingdom Hearts, Every sports game ever, you know 4. I can even do trophies, Those 7 trophies in every game ever! Reach level 10, get this collectible, finish 1 mission, finish the game, etc. If you're not Rob and like these Features, (I've never asked for this, but....) like this so that it can reach the top of the comments, maybe he'll see it. Thanks! (Notes: I have posted this a couple of times on videos before, so sorry, but also, Access is approaching 3000 videos!)
No. 4: I just finished replaying “Dishonored 2,” and lost track of how many times I accidentally closed a cash register/turned on a noisy machine/etc. when all I wanted was to pick up those damn coins.
In all fairness for the staying alive part, unlike video game protagonists, I haven't tried jumping off a cliff a kilometer high to see if there's fall damage in real life.
You've got some balls putting that last one in, Rob. I'm 99% certain that if I was trying to put that in a video I'd get a heart attack halfway through filming from jinxing it.
I found out that games have a skirt mechanic designed to stop you getting stuck if you get too close to objects, so your character or vehicle will go around small obstacles if you keep pushing the stick at them, unbelievably clever. Still with all that brilliant design running in the back-round how come my Roach seems magnetically drawn to every god damn tree in the Witcher 3, honestly I can go from being stuck behind one tree to immediately being stuck behind the next one.
53 years now without losing a real world life and enjoying video games more than ever thanks in no small part to the wisdom contained within Rob’s Friday features.
Walking across a plank that is wider than my own shoulders. I can do this, but Kratos, (who is a sailor!) for some reason always adopted a "legs akimbo" stance and usually fell off.
Point 4 does raise the opposite point as well with the skyrim bowl. I cannot for the life of me pick up a bowl WITHOUT picking up the things inside it. Certainly can't do it as neatly as they do in skyrim.
What about "regular work"? In real life it's something nearly everyone is well, just doing. In video games it's some hellish "mini game", only the protagonist can somehow figure out (eventually).
My ocd kicks in at Shinra hq and I knock over every chair and move them all to the escalators. No one gets to sit down. Go upstairs if you want a chair
That toe bit brought but painful memories On a side note i love in some games like Far cry Series, Doom Eternal, assassins Creed etc where you simply press a button and boom! Its picked up with no gestures to bend down haha or in doom eternals case, simply walk over/into them. Brilliant!
Damn, the way Rob expertly diverted the attention away from poor path finding and navigation of NPCs to exquisite chair toppling sounds is so good. He should be hired by a big company to endorse their products.
I ran around for ten minutes knocking every chair over on every level of shinra headquarters. My partner watched this then asked me what the hell I was doing. Like, isn't it obvious?
When aerith first visited the orphanage in ffvii for me. Any emotional drama of Aerith being this kind caring person who took care of the children in the scene was offset by the fact that when i walked over to the front door, Aerith simply barrelled through a whole line of neatly positioned chairs at the dinner table, smashing them up all over the place. 🤭
Trying to get in to your own car End up breaking into the one next to it Interacting with somthing like opening a door then firing a rocket launcher or punching somthing Trying to hide behind somthing but then jumping
It's also much easier to apologize in real life. How many times have I accidentally picked up something in Skyrim that was flagged as stolen, but somebody saw it happen so now I have a 2 gold bounty on my head that requires people to flee or fight me with deadly force and summon the city guard. Can we talk about this? Does it matter if I put it back down? No and no. All the fights you have with people in video games that are based on misunderstandings are easily avoidable. Sorry, breh, let's just hash this out with words, rather than forcing me to call down powers from the beyond in the middle of a crowded city street.
If Sony knew what was good for them, they could definitely implement a feature in ps5 that tracks videogame deaths among all games you've played on the system
7 awesome Npc next Friday, surely gonna end up a cool video with so many cool virtual buddies out there! Incredible work btw, always a pleasure watching these video
Unrelated to this, more in tune of Rosie’s latest platinum: I mean Dr. N. Pearson is absolutely great. Just as a back-up you guys could really consider ”Nitros Robside”
Easier in real life: Maintaining the same speed as the person I'm walking next to.
good old slower than running but faster than walking speed, which every NPC can do but you.
It's a little different when walking behind some stranger though. I've had instances where they walked too slow to comfortably stay behind, but I had to put in considerably more effort and speed to pass them without running in order to walk comfortably once again.
In short: The person you're walking with/next to is your co-op partner. The people you're walking behind are the NPC's.
Have a friend follow you and not continually walk in to a post.... (at least while sober)
The worst of all!
I can't agree
It's harder in real life
You don't know my friends
That permadeath mechanic in Life really keeps me motivated to hold on to my HP.
I'm just playing a real life nuzlocke
Wait... you're saying you can't respawn?
Easier in real life: "Hey there is a box in the way blocking this hallway. I'll just step over it."
Video games: "Better spend 20 minutes finding an alternate route!"
Yes. This. Yes.
Better yet, here's a locked door that I must get in, might as well ram it! It's abandon anyways!
Video Games: I gotta solve this overly complicated lock puzzle or I need a key(s) or the worst yet, I need key(s) so I can solve this overly complicated lock puzzle just to open the door to a closet.

He could even make my math teachers class entertaining
i wholeheartedly agree 100%
Yup, Rob is awesome. Brightens up my Fridays without fail, especially right now.
Ive been playing the witcher a lot while in quarantine so now whenever l want to pick something up in real life l accidentally extinguish a candle
This annoyed me so hard the first few hours until I realised that actually looking out for candles and trying not to do that consumes mutch more time than just putting out the damn candles so I just accepted it
Interacting with bosses.

Been there, done that, but if you have the right setup that boss isn't actually that hard unless you're doing it on nightmare.
Nope, imo, real life bosses are more difficult and regularly the 2nd scenario.
Number 8: Accessing an area where you just have a few small obstacles in front of you.
RPGs: It is right there, for heavens sake!
Ah, Pokemon and its small plants getting in the way
Yeah right?... even though when the game requires it you can jump over things like an Olympic athlete!!!!
Small rocks. A little wall or rocky part. A little bit of metal or a few boxes and the like
Intentionally not being sarcastic. I can't count how many times I thought I was clicking on a sincere response, only to have the voice actor for my character deliver it in the most sarcastic way possible and end up with a new enemy.
happen to me a lot, but not in video games

"Muder and mayhem await!" 0_0
Yes!! I try to be the nice guy and o screw it up
This happens so often that I'm starting to believe that it's actually deliberate and game devs are just trolling players.
@@thequad8945 well that's cause you were playing a Sith.

For me, if I go to a ledge my brain gets confused. It wants to get down "as fast as possible" so I get a really strong urge to jump. I never have. XD
Or my brain. Sees a bear in the woods while hiking. Brain decides to hit the evacuate bowels button, instead of the run like hell button.
Taking a direct route.
Hey that item we need is right there. We could just hop over this log.
Video game. No you can't do that, you've got to walk along this trail for a mile, find an underground passage, which leads back through puzzle ridden walkways and climb a ladder to it.
And it is something common like a health potion or something
Horror games: you can just break the windows irl and run off whereas you can't in video games.
"We're able to go about our daily lives collision-free."

number 8: casually walking down the mainstreet of your town without getting tempted by all the sidequests
I live in a small town and it often happens my main quest, like buying groceries or doing my morning run, gets hi jacked by bumping into someone, or several someones, I know and end up doing a side quest instead.
Climbing over knee to waist high obstacles. I loved how Cloud had to scale and cross an entire building to get to the other side of 2 cars in the middle of the road.

It depends on the game. And how strong of a swimmer you are in real life.
Funny enough, a videogame helped me learn to swim, learned to tread water by watching Banjo
I always just pick up the bowl first in Skyrim, then the stuff, then defiantly drop the bowl. ^^
I needed this laugh. I go back on occasion to watch Rob’s climbing like Nathan Drake for a good laugh also. 😂

The other way around is WHY we play video games! We'd never be able to do all the fun stuff in real life!
Climbing up mountainsides as easy as you can in say Skyrim.
2:25 “the sound they make as they clunk into the marble floor”
_literally shows the only section of the canteen that has wooden flooring_
I ran around for ten minutes knocking every chair over on every level of shinra headquarters. My partner watched this then asked me what the hell I was doing. Like, isn't it obvious?
When aerith first visited the orphanage in ffvii for me. Any emotional drama of Aerith being this kind caring person who took care of the children in the scene was offset by the fact that when i walked over to the front door, Aerith simply barrelled through a whole line of neatly positioned chairs at the dinner table, smashing them up all over the place. 🤭
Trying to get in to your own car
End up breaking into the one next to it
Interacting with somthing like opening a door then firing a rocket launcher or punching somthing
Trying to hide behind somthing but then jumping
Interacting with a horse without punching it in the freakin' face?!?😕
Let's try something fun: anyone here that remembers the 301club?
Line Andersen whelp, that’s stuck in my head for the rest of the day...
One of the best videos of this series! Amazing!
1:42 respect for the sacrifice you made to get this one clip
Just here to post my appeciation for that amazing reference at 10:45. Got a good chuckle out of me, great job PS Access.
Rob's commentary is the heart of the Friday Features
It's also much easier to apologize in real life. How many times have I accidentally picked up something in Skyrim that was flagged as stolen, but somebody saw it happen so now I have a 2 gold bounty on my head that requires people to flee or fight me with deadly force and summon the city guard. Can we talk about this? Does it matter if I put it back down? No and no.
All the fights you have with people in video games that are based on misunderstandings are easily avoidable. Sorry, breh, let's just hash this out with words, rather than forcing me to call down powers from the beyond in the middle of a crowded city street.
“Marble floor?!?!?” That is laid hardwood.
That was my thought, but some parts are hardwood, some look like polished stone.
Good, I wasn’t the only one who thought that xD
He was probably thinking of the original game when he said that, which IIRC had marble floors in that area
If Sony knew what was good for them, they could definitely implement a feature in ps5 that tracks videogame deaths among all games you've played on the system
That text message at the end of number 3🤣🤣🤣
7 awesome Npc next Friday, surely gonna end up a cool video with so many cool virtual buddies out there! Incredible work btw, always a pleasure watching these video
Unrelated to this, more in tune of Rosie’s latest platinum: I mean Dr. N. Pearson is absolutely great. Just as a back-up you guys could really consider ”Nitros Robside”
I'm playing Fallen Order while having this as background noise. And literally when the part about falling off the cliff comes off I do exactly that
"have you tried to drive legally in GTA 5?" Well, thanks to epic games, I can actually try XD
Easier in Real Life: opening a closed interior door when wearing an entire arsenal of supersofisticated weapons
6:04 Flashback to me playing the Uncharted trilogy: For god sake Nate, i want you to pick up the AK-47, not the shotgun!
Managing to get past knee high walls or hedges is infinitely more easy in real life than video games.
57 Years in Permadeath Mode. Woohoo!!! Come at me, Covid.
Rob: seven things in video games that are way easier in real life
David Cage: only seven?
This list is so true haha.
As GLaDOS said "I feel fantastic and I'm still alive"
