Why do all the cops shoot at a woman with no weapon trying to run away in Mirror's Edge? Absurd I say!

I only discovered this game about an hour ago, haven't ceased shuddering since. Every bit I've seen of it just reeks of the most potent brand of creepiness.
I bought my first dreamcast last year purely to experience this game. Worth every penny simply for my roommates' reactions upon encountering the relationship I had forged with this fascinating creature.

This isn't uncommon. The first level of Tomb Raider comes to mind.

This may not quite be the sort of stuff you mean, but if I were to make a top 5 list of absurdity in video games, it would probably include all of these:

Dong Dong Never Die

Warriors of Elysia

Revenge of the Bitch

Muscle March

Ripper


I could go on, but people could get hurt.

Mentioned this is another thread once

Going to a vending machine in Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey and getting yourself a nice, badass firearm. I laughed my ass off every time that happened in the game. Imagine the gun getting "stuck" in the machine. "Damn vending machine! My killing spree will have to wait" :lol:

A lot of things from Pokemon come to mind. How can they store living pokemon in a PC? Same with pokeballs. Why only carry six at a time? Theres clearly room for more on a belt, or in the bag you can fit a bicycle in. Also you can't run without the running shoes? Really? And how do other species of pokemon talk to each other when all they can say is their own name? Why cant you catch fainted pokemon? And for that matter, can pokemon die at all from battle?
