Our Polish Games Festival is going strong with great deals on titles coming from Polish developers, but that’s not all we have in store for you (pun intended).
We teamed up with Razer to give you a contest with amazing prizes!

The rules are simple: comment on the forum or under our Twitter contest post and tell us what things are HARDER to do in games than in real life from your perspective. We'll reward 3 forum and 3 Twitter entries that we find most creative.

What are the prizes? You can win one of six prize packs of Razer peripherals (BlackWidow keyboard, DeathAdder mouse and Kraken headphones), and a bundle of 20 games available on GOG.COM, such as Control Ultimate Edition, Disco Elysium - The Final Cut, Spiritfarer, SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete and more!

Submit your entries before May 11th, 3pm UTC. Terms and conditions apply. You can check them in the first comment on the forum.

Don’t forget that, during Polish Games Festival (from May 3rd to May 10th, till 1 PM UTC), if you buy any game at GOG.COM and sign up to GOG’s newsletter, you will receive a special 15% off on peripherals in the Razer Store*.

When I need to get up somewhere high, I find it very difficult to time my jump with the exploding grenade. Maybe it's just me.... Anyone else have this issue?
When I climb with grenades in real life, it's super easy ;)

Talking. Asking questions. Sounding smart, but also saying stupid things.
Rocket jumping!
It’s much harder to walk and listen to a conversation in game than it is in real life. I’m just too impatient.
It is much harder to not want to kill everything in sight in a game vs real life.
No murderous urges while driving in the real world.
Escort missions no doubt, even the best and most peaceful game can make you crazy.
Walking past another person without getting stuck is relatively easier IRL.
To play games.


Alter-egoing alter ego.

I definitely find it harder to obey the traffic laws in games compared to real life!
It is much harder to use the toilet in games than in real life. Especially when you know that someone's always watching you from your back. (3rd person perspective games) That must be why characters don't do it, isn't it? No?

I find it harder to race a car in a game than in real life. I never quite feel in control and not feeling the momentum of the car and predicting when to break and when to not is a big factor.
Communicate effectively! Whether it is quickly and secretly in a team environment, getting your AI help to actually help, or even worse trying to communicate to NPCs.

With humans in a game you have to spend time typing. Or you have to talk to each other over headsets which is still pretty slow, and if it was real life might be overheard. In life you could make a few hand signals behind the wall, hill, whatever and people would go off and start their appropriate tasks.

AI is even potentially worse. At least the humans you can maybe work together ahead of time and work out some short cuts for some basics of "2LL" means you two on the left circle left. The opponent AIs aren't complete idiots (unless you have the difficulty turned down) but your helper (wingman, etc) will almost always decide to be in the least useful spot possible, unless you are constantly clicking and overriding their decisions.

General NPCs (especially in older games) get a separate heading from AI. Why? Because this is the category for interacting that will move the plot along, save your character(s), etc. However you have limited abilities to interact as opposed to the infinite ability to express yourself when talking to an actual human (where you both share the same language obviously). For example you wander into a bar in a dusty frontier town after crossing a desert. You will die if you don't get water soon. The barkeep you are talking to has the options of telling them: a)I love you; b)your hair is purple; c)the xia are attacking. The correct answer of course being c,a,a,c,b,d where the total thread has nothing to do with being thirsty or water. These are why guidebooks and faqs came into being. (Realistically if you were being slightly circumspect in real life, you might wander in and say "I feel slightly parched, is there anything I can wet my whistle with in this town? Or something similarly witty.)
Actually, everything is easier in life than taking Roach off from a tree or a roof. I'm 100% sure of this.

To me it's much harder to remember the names of people in real life, although that's mostly because I don't care about reality. Same with anything else that's real and seems important to most. My parents birthdays? Who knows, dude. The name of that social worker who's worked here for years? Beats me. The name of the big bad in Tyranny? That's Kyros the Overlord. Do I play Tyranny? Barely. I haven't really gotten into that genre yet. Wait, that social worker's name is Julia? How am I supposed to remember that? I mean, seriously, way to overcomplicate things. Why not just go with something easy to remember? You know, like Jarl Balgruuf the Greater? Or Farengar Secret-Fire? Those just roll of the tongue. Or Papyrus? That's a nice name. I dated a Papyrus once. Sadly he turned me down. Now I'm kinda playing the field on the Normandy. I tried finding someone in the literature club at school but that turned traumatic rather quick. Wait, a real life girlfriend? That's a thing? No thanks, that sounds nasty.
