I thought I'd start a thread for all the plot holes and implausibilities in games. I'll start the ball rolling....
Rock Band- How the hell does what is essentially a covers band get to become really famous, play stadiums and even get inducted into the Hall of fame??? They should be stuck playing weddings and bored pubs.

Resident Evil 4- The presidents daughter is kidnapped, they send in one man with a pistol That's easy, it was Leon's job. He was hired to be the personal protector of the the President and his family. They also wanted it to be covert. Covert operations don't have 150+ soldiers with rocket launchers and stuff. They didn't know where Ashley was taken, they just knew it was in Europe. You don't want to start a war accidentally, so you need to send 1 man with a pistol to do the mission for you. Hell, going by that, the Splinter Cell series is just as weird. You have ONE guy stopping global war/terrorist sects by himself with a pistol and a knife. |

Shadow of the Colossus: The bridge leading into the Forbidden Land...why didn't the monks knock it down after trapping the evil in the first place? "Ah, we'll just call it the Forbidden Land, everyone'll be too scared to just walk over the bridge and see what's over there."

Resident Evil 4- The presidents daughter is kidnapped, they send in one man with a pistol In addition to this, they don't even tell the one man where exactly the President's daughter is supposed to be. Chief: Leon, we want you to go to Europe and rescue the President's daughter. Leon: Yes sir, I will look into it. It's just that... Chief: Yes? Leon: Is there any idea where in Europe the President's daughter is being held? Chief: *confused* What the hell do you mean "where in Europe"?! Just get your ass to Europe, I'll have Agent Hunnigan fill you in later. Leon: Whatever you say, sir. (Leon then proceeds to wander aimlessly across various European countries for the next three months until finally arriving at the small village of "El Pueblo" in the country of "Generic European Country Which Is Not Spain, Seriously") |

Spain was most likely the first country he landed in. |

Hell, going by that, the Splinter Cell series is just as weird. You have ONE guy stopping global war/terrorist sects by himself with a pistol and a knife. How about the Metal Gear series then? Here the world is always in trouble, and they send one man sneaking in who not only has to be stealthy and take his enemies out silently, but has to figure out how to hack computer systems and shit. And the amount of weapons he carries on him would make all kinds of racket. The same with the FPS games. Now don't get me wrong, I love playing them even though I know that you couldn't carry all of those weapons on you. And in the GTA series, anyone wonder why if you get such a high wanted level, if you stay hidden for a few moments the cops will not remember you. You could in theory mow down a diner full of people in front of a cop, kill the cops and take their car, and after staying hidden for a few moments the cops forget all about you. But it doesn't matter. If the game is fun, I tend to have a blind eye towards plot holes, logic that makes you scratch your head at the end, and impossible physics. It's all about being entertained, isn't it? |

Most of this thread has nothing to do with plot holes.
Snips is the only one to name something PLOT hole related.

Silent Hill 2-James sticks his hand in a nasty filthy toilet. I mean, really. I loved how they made fun of that in both Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill 4. Both Heather and Henry were about to reach into a similar toilet then said "Ugh....gross. Who'd be crazy enough to do something like that?" Then again, James truly is crazy. He is, after all, the only main character who visited a Silent Hill filled with his inner demons, rather than another character's(Alessa's demons in Silent Hill and Silent Hill 3, and Walter's demons in Silent Hill 4). Meaning he had to be extremely messed up. |

"Ah, we'll just call it the Forbidden Land, everyone'll be too scared to just walk over the bridge and see what's over there." If they did knock down the bridge, we wouldn't have had this amazing game. Also, yeah, that's usually how it goes. In worlds where the populace only listens to what the elders/mystics/council says, they usually follow what they say. |

Just curious, what actually did happen to Claude Speed betwixt the gap between when GTA: San Andreas takes place and GTA3. (I know Catalina calls you up in SA while they're f***ing, but he couldn't have f***ed from like '93 to '01)
Not really a plot hole persay, just something I'd like to see covered in a new GTA game. (Liberty City Stories 2 perhaps?)

Just curious, what actually did happen to Claude Speed betwixt the gap between when GTA: San Andreas takes place and GTA3. (I know Catalina calls you up in SA while they're smurfing, but he couldn't have smurfed from like '93 to '01) Not really a plot hole persay, just something I'd like to see covered in a new GTA game. (Liberty City Stories 2 perhaps?) That classifies as a plot hole. (I think.) But, it was said (somewhere) that the heist at the beginning of GTA3 was shortly after they'd arrived in Liberty, so it wouldn't be Liberty City Stories. Knowing Columbo-Bitch, they just took an 8 year cross-country crime spree. |
