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*.

3 things i find harder to do in games, than in real life:

1 Jumping without looking like a fool (I'm thinking of you: GTA)
2 Being decent towards woman (pretty much all games, and it's really not that hard IRL)
3 Driving without breaking everything

1. Raising kids by teaching them how to think, not what to think
2. Looking at items being handed from character to character (person to person)
3. Doing the dishes
4. Canceling misogynistic characters

Two things in particular come to mind: keeping track of time and ceasing pursuit of a goal.
While gaming, I find it very difficult to keep track of time due to being far too susceptible to doing "just one more" thing. And, as we all know, there is never only "just one more" thing to accomplish before we're satisfied while gaming.

Using ladders. IRL I know exactly how to use a ladder and how it will behave. In video games, you have several different expectations and you don't know what's going to happen until you try; often resulting in death.


It's hard to be around fire in video games too. In real life I've never lit myself on fire. In video games, I've done it countless times, by accident! You accidentally step on or near a flame and there you go. It just doesn't behave normally. It's as if you are covered in gasoline all the time. Always seemed like a silly feature to have in most games too. Is it interactive? is it funny? like obviously I didn't mean to light myself on fire, so why does it even do that?

Ragdoll properly :)

That's actually trickier than I've first thought :)


A. Actually walking where you want. Invisible walls are my bane. IRL at best you have "boundaries" of a different kind - they are much easier to step over - and much easier to get hurt because of that.

B. Not falling for obvious traps? Or just not doing obviously stupid things if you don't want to. Same thing really.

C. Taking death seriously. While a grim topic I find games rarely succeeding in making death worse than a reload or a few seconds of wait till respawn.

I find it harder to be patient with loquacious people in games than in real life. Get to the point already! I got other things to do let me have fun!

Playing chess. Computers are hard as hell compared to any human player on the planet.

Beside that, any realistic simulator it's harder than real life. Like Assetto Corsa, rFactor, Flight Simulator and so on. You have all the physics in calculation, 99% accurate to real life situation, but you are lacking the senses that you would have in the actual thing. Like feeling forces with your body, getting immediate feedback from the machine and overall sensation. In simulator, you are crippled. But on the other hand, you have retry button ;)

Climb over piles of rubble that are blocking stairwells.

The hardest thing is right managment of your inventory. In real life I have just wallet, phone and keys, but in games its usually five swords, some shields, lots of different food right next to skins and meat of hunted animals, hen´s tooth, tons of iron scrap and many others. And then, in all this junk, you are supposed to find some letter for quest....

- Swimming - Why is always so awkward
- Driving Safely - It is hard to obey speed limits and normal safety practices in most games.
- Moving slowly - I guess it makes sense that most game are geared around moving fast, but moving at normal speeds is super awkward.

Acquiring mundane items.

Point and Click adventures often have you go enormous lengths to get items that are actually pretty ordinary. In reality I'm not gonna crawl into a sewer in hopes of finding a magnifying glass, I'll buy it on Amazon.

For SURE the thing that's hardest to do in games when compared to real life is spending time doing nothing. It's not even close. If I'm waiting to do something in a game it feels like time slows to a crawl. In real life? I can just sit around for hours doing nothing with no provlem.

Opening a door, walking into a room, and then closing the door.
