> broken game mechanic

Who said games have to be realistic? is it a "broken game mechanic" that you can take a shot to the heart and continue living in counter strike?

There's a place for realism in video games, but there's a place where you have to let go of it as well.

Well, lots of people have said that. Used to hear that kind of argument all the time back in the day.

But I've heard even crazier things. I remember a friend's older brother complaining about tournaments NOT forcing everyone to use the same gear and same CFG files. This ~21 years ago. Still have no idea what was this guy's thought process. I guess it was just a non-gamer's expert opinion on gaming.

Dan you imagine not being able to bind keys and/or adjust mouse speed because it's not realistic and unfair?
