This applies to games as well as movies and cartoons and such:

Youre a group of plucky young people, and you meet a whimsical band of pirates. You get captured and they almost make you walk the plank before something changes their mind at the last second and then you become part of their crew and their silly captain joins you on some adventures.

...but like, they were just about to forcefully drown a group of innocent kids.
And judging by their prior enthusiasm and lack of hesitation, this surely wouldnt have been the first time. Like there are probably a lot of bodies of dead children and adults sunken at the bottom of the sea who died painful deaths isolated in the middle of the ocean screaming for help and mercy as the laughing pirates executed them in various painful and sadistic ways.

But its cool because now youve got a ship for the world map!

Guns always do less damage than swords or daggers or even fists


Swords a much bigger pieces of metal being shoved into a body so that I can see.

A half-ounce bullet going really freakin fast is going wreck shit way worse than a sword lobbing around at arm-speed or so.

Which brings us to another point of bizarre videogame logic: bullets traveling at a leisurely stroll.

Depends where it hits. You dont need as good of aim to land a lethal strike with a sword. Getting impaled in the torso is gonna wreck anyone.

I honestly think I would just shrug, walk off and stop trying to save the world.

And truth be told, if the guy suddenly changed his tune and wanted to give me everything for free, I don't think that would change my mind.

Not really. There is no safe place to shoot someone where they wouldnt be at risk of death.

Its happened with lots of people though. Same risk with getting stabbed. But im talking straight impaled or a large gashing wound down the torso.

Not saying that countless people havent survived gunshots

In ancient times, most of the time people would not instantly die from a sword wound unless they were beheaded or stabbed through the heart. There are many people who have died instantly from gunshots.

Its a lot harder to drive a sword through bone and muscle to the soft tissues underneath than it is a bullet.

I'll say i guess it depends on the caliber. Ive seen more that one story or even video footage of a person being shot and it didnt even slow them down. Where Idk but I imagine taking a broadsword in the gut will halt the progress of damn near anyone.

Was replaying through Borderlands 2 lately..
Dude who kidnapped Roland asking for 2 millions in ransom money, and then lowering his prices as you progress through the level..
Thing is, on normal difficulty, that's all done.. But on ultimate vault hunter, I got guns that are easily worth that much as loot from bandits and chests on that exact level... So, you know, if he wanted the money, he could have just sold a few of them instead of leaving them in chests

Also, in many games.. head shots dealing bonus damage but they still somehow take more than one shot to kill

A lot of games do that one:
1hp left..
*drinks potion*
I'm all better now!

Far Cry games:
It takes more than one bullet, and sometimes a few full clips to kill wild animals.. Especially those fucking honey badgers

In Borderlands 2 case... well... they wanted the money so they could buy more guns.
Selling your old guns just so you can buy new ones kinda defeats the purpose of collecting them.
