A bomb will blow holes through a weekend wall, and injure bad guys, but will have no effect on a wooden fence or a member of the village
 
In Hyrule, if you slice bushes you get money!
Money doesn't grow on trees. On bushes, on the other hand... ;)

Anyway...after playing too much AC3:

* you can climb a three-floor house in a matter of seconds. Nobody will notice.
* there was no racism in the eighteenth century...at all! (yes, even that burning of the Indian village was for other reasons)
* "my people have to be free" makes it okay to go on a lone navy slaughtering spree
* if you kill an important officer, he'll go on babbling for ten more minutes while everyone around you just...well just do NOTHING!
* what you actually do: hiding in the bushes and quickly run to the next cover between gunfire shots (and usually getting hit a lot nonetheless).
What people tell you you'll be doing: singlehandedly breaking through enemy barricades, fighting off an entire army while getting close enough to kill the main officer.
 
Japan doesn't see this as a big issue like America only recently has. From what little research I did they do not recognize it as valid. Does anyone really care? Nintendo is not trying to rock the boat and create a social change. They are just trying to sell a product.
 
That apparently in the year 2016, according to Ace Attorney, everyone still carries around Nokia bricks as cell phones.
That's because in 2016 Nokia Bricks become Retro, and that's when all the hipsters come out. :P
 
If you're a mouse eating cheese and being chased by a cat, simply eat a bone to turn into a dog and seek immediate retribution; but be quick as the rodent to canine transformation is fleeting. Ahhh, vintage video game logic.
 
Here's a hypothetical situation. You're in a cave. You had just fallen/jumped down a hole. In order to get back out, you find a corridor. It's a bit small, though. If you kneel, the ceiling is just about the same level with your torso. Do you...

A. bend forward a bit and crawl out that way.
B. further explore the cave, fight an evil monster about twice your size in order to get some ancient orb-like thing that, for some reason, inspires you to curb up in a fetal position so you can roll out of the cave.


A would be real logic. B would be the gamer logic.

And to make sure we're gamers...let's all make fun of anyone even thinking of option A. ;)
 
This RPG was so well liked that we've decided to make the sequel a FPS.
Where have I seen that before ;)

(close enough)

On a side note
>Mowing down hordes of eldritch abominations with your impressive arsenal of weaponry
No problem.
>Overcoming a locked door.
Now we're in trouble.
