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*.

The discount codes will be sent via email connected to your GOG account, within a few days after the event ends. One account is eligible for one discount code.
Communicating with the "people" of a video game is much easier because I am a bit shy but video games allow me to create connections with characters and be more empathetic, understand that each person has their own problems and we must solve them together.

With videogames it is easier to have fun. In my country (I live in Guatemala) crime and the lack of support for young people by the government do not allow younger generations to have fun without any "danger", so many of us prefer to stay on Fridays at night. nights playing with friends on Discord.
1. Not being able to keep up with other people, every npc either walks faster than their your normal walk or you go faster than that.
2. Dying from small falls, I've died in games like five foot up and I still died.
3. Being poisoned by everything, you can be poisoned just by touch anything in certain games making everything unsafe.
4. Driving, sometimes even driving nicely in a game can cause random chaos and even going through the floor or any wall.
5. Doing tasks.for friends, some tasks for real life friends take seconds while in game they take hours just to complete cause it's an insane mission for a worthless award.

The WAIT. Its harder in game than in real life. In real life your mind flies, but in game, even when you are waiting, something its coming, you cannot pause and wait, you have to be focus and ready and do the old fashioned wait. And time to time you have to check if the game dosent freeze

Jump, is so hard in games that in some of them, you can't even do it.
Being a real idiot in games is hard. IRL I can be one anytime anywhere ...

The toilet of course, how many games let you do that. No instead you struggle your way through the game waiting for a moment then you pause and run for relief. Or am I mixing realities there.
Either driving, cars do not handle well at all in game, or escort missions, in real life I bet anyone I was trying to save wouldn't just stand there like an idiot waiting to get shot or walk as slowly as humanly possible away from the danger.
Actually ...
Applying human logics in open-world games becomes very hard as compared to the real life because even if the game is open-world, they have certain limitations and different laws of physics.

It is harder to aim in games than in real life
Making love and making coffee.
1. Entering or exiting buildings, whether it's a door or a window, many times it's much more awkward or impossible even if it's open.
2. Swimming/touching water without instantly dying. So far I haven't died instantly from touching water. Hope it stays that way.
3. Picking up and throwing things, there's a lot of things you can't pick up, more often you can't throw. If you can throw it goes wither not even a quarter of where you hoped it would or a hundred miles farther and faster than you intended. Sometimes kills or aggravates NPCs you don't want angry

Walking after drinking beer or other types alcohol - in every single game where you can use substances, you get blurry vision after one shot or just one mug of beer. Not happening in real life! Imagine if you got this wavy image after a sip of beer. Nobody would drink alcohol!
It's hard to not be a creep in video games because it's actually fun to invade NPCs' personal space and see what ensues.
Games make it harder than real life to…
• See several kilometres away (it’s mysterious fog or my toaster of a computer starts lagging)
• Cross unmarked boundaries (damn you invisible waist-high fence!)
• Move a small distance (carefully… carefully… WHY DID YOU JUMP OFF THE LEDGE?!)
