Of all the things harder to do in games than in real life, there is only one that is universal: reach the end...

Using bathroom.
Those static toilet seats and flowless faucets make it impossible to take care of your needs!
Crouch jump. I have always had to macro it in game. Even as a gaming nerd with little physical prowess, I can pull my legs up in the air without having to practice or chord :)

Dodging 200 lightning bolts in a row is much harder in a video game. I have a perfect streak in real life.
There are lot's of things harder to do in games than in real life. Here's a few:

- Climb down ladders: How many time have my character died because I couldn't proper align it to climb down the ladder? And when I did, instead of climbing down I climbed back up because the key to go down was the same as moving forward!! Then I had to die or lose a bunch of health due to the fall, because I had to repeat the process of aligning again!

- Make your enemies aware of your presence: Sometimes the AI is do dumb, that you're right next to the enemy and they can't see you! Or when you fire a weapon from a distance, kill an enemy, and their colleagues just look at the body and do nothing but go on with their lives.

- Make your enemies not forget that you still there: It's kind of related with the previous point. On stealth games, when you're discovered all enemies go after you. But then, you hide yourself, let the cool down period pass, and voilá, the enemies completely forget that you're still alive and kicking!! Now imagine if there was a cool down effect of a few seconds in real life!!

- Kill someone: This one is obvious, after all how many shots (sometimes even to the head) does an npc require for you to kill it?

- Be killed: How many shots, stabs, punches, slashes, relative big falls, does it require to kill our own character? There are even games when one simply cannot die!!

- Get dirty clothes, and hair too: no matter what some characters go through, in the end, their clothes are good as new. And their hair is always impeccable.

LoL!
Walking, walking is definitively much harder in a game than in real life.

I mean, at least that's what QWOP and Death Stranding has taught me
Just one word: walking.

Edit: Doh, someone beat me to it.

Climbing a ladder.
I rarely get stuck in the geometry when walking up a hill in real life, but it happens to me all the time in games.
Controlling your own limbs is way easier in real life than in Surgeon Simulator :D
