History SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'': Shiver tries a cool trick with a smoke bomb by holding it with her fan to pull a SmokeOut. It doesn't work out like she intended. She drops the bomb immediately -- as an average person would in real life -- which then blows on her face, resulting in a hilarious EpicFail.

** Near the end of the game, Mayor [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Norman Osborn]] ends up turning New York into a nightmare PoliceState in response to the [[VillainTeamUp Sinister Six]] wreaking havoc. Unfortunately for Osborn, reality bites hard; the American public and federal government do not exactly respond well to a municipal government official acting like a tinpot dictator, and he's ResignedInDisgrace once everything is resolved at the end of the game, with a strong implication that he just ''barely'' avoided serious legal prosecution.

* ''VideoGame/BugsBunnyAndTazTimeBusters'': When Gashouse is defeated, his ship sinks into the Moon Valley with him in it and he freezes in a block of ice. When it's shattered, he does not leap out of the water complaining about the cold as commonly depicted in the ''Looney Tunes'' franchise. Instead, his dead body floats away and sinks into the ocean, the extreme temperature having killed him.

* {{VideoGame/Wolfenstein}} sometimes has its hero B.J. Blazkowicz pose as a Nazi or collaborator to infiltrate something or other and he's always ''really bad at it'' but somehow it works. He can speak German but his accent is terrible, he's not really familiar with his cover stories and tends to make some kind of weird joke when questioned, he's ''huge'', and he refuses to heil and barely conceals his seething hatred of Nazis. Usually he gets away with it anyway because of Nazi arrogance; [[RefugeInAudacity they can't believe one of their enemies would just show up like this]], think he's ''mocking'' inept American spies, etc. But midway through ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheOldBlood'', which started out with one such infiltration working perfectly, he poses as a waiter and brings the BigBad some wine - and she notices all those things other Nazis disregard, plus that he's serving her spoiled wine of a type the establishment knows not to bring to her, and [[ImpaledPalm stabs him through the palm]], wondering how he could have possibly thought he was doing a good job fooling anyone.

** There are two wealthy families, the Greys and the Braithwaites, that are engaged in a feud that goes back generations. The gang attempts to exploit the rivalry for their own benefit by [[PlayingBothSides doing jobs for both families]]. [[spoiler:However, both families begin to notice that their interactions with the gang are always followed by more attacks on their property. Once they put two and two together, both families retaliate against the gang; the Greys lure them into an ambush in the town of Rhodes, while the Braithwaites kidnap Jack Marston.]]

* Babi in ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' is a man who is over 150 years old due to him drinking Lumerian Draught to slow his aging process. When you first meet him, he is incapacitated since his body is incredibly old and can barely function and he tried ration his supply of draught to make it last longer. While Babi was able to prolong his life with the draught, it only slows down his aging rather than stopping it completely. Human bodies are simply not able to keep functioning at an advanced age and Babi has to keep drinking his supply of draught just to be able to function in general. Babi even notes how his body "has had it" and he would pretty much die very quickly if he doesn't keep consuming the draught. By the time the sequel rolls around, Babi dies off screen since he ran out of draught.
