Even though you're Batman, and Batman never kills. The correct solution is to Batarang the rope that one of the Mooks is hanging from, knocking him down through the roof of the room and right into the cloud of poison gas. The problem? One of those boxes is itself in an enclosed room.

You have to activate the three ventilation fans by hitting their power boxes with your Batarang. An early section in Batman: Arkham Asylum requires you to save a doctor who's trapped in a room whose only exit is into a room full of Joker Toxin.It's also not to be confused with Too Dumb to Live, though it can be seen as an aversion of this trope (where you get the appropriate consequence - namely, death - for doing something reckless). This trope is not to be confused with Insane Troll Logic. Examples of things that make no sense in general (but that we accept because it's a video game) belong in the work's Headscratchers tab or in one of the Acceptable Breaks from Reality subtropes. Also compare Moon Logic Puzzle (where the solution to a puzzle makes absolutely no sense from a normal standpoint). Comedy Video Games can make this trope part of the fun, just as more serious games won't get away with this nearly as easily.Ĭompare and contrast both Press X to Die (where an obviously stupid action has harmful results), Stupidity Is the Only Option (where the player is forced to do something stupid in order to continue the game), and Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay (where following common sense is expected, but surprising in the context of the game). As always, Tropes Are Not Bad - a Violation of Common Sense can be entertaining and amusing when well-executed, just as it can be confusing or annoying when not properly set up.

Sometimes this is an unexpected result of Video Game Physics, but just as often it's a deliberate solution to a puzzle or a way to collect useful items. This is a Violation of Common Sense one does not expect to be rewarded for otherwise nonsensical actions, or to be punished for otherwise sensible ones. On the flip-side, the player finds themselves in a scenario where they feel obligated to make a practical decision and, far from avoiding Too Dumb to Live, they are punished for this behavior, sometimes by death. Sometimes they allow you to do something suicidally dangerous (or at least utterly pointless) and, far from forcing you to face the consequences of your actions, they reward you for this behavior. Video game logic is not real-world logic.
