Video games are inherently unreal. It seems like the games industry is moving closer and closer toward more realistic graphics and immersive experiences, but we'll never make our way out of that uncanny valley. Unless we're actually willing to go through with the virtual reality shot from Black Mirror.
No one's ready to go there, so all we can do is look on and keep wondering how much closer we can get while being so far from complete realism in video games. Or we could just make fun of unrealistic video game elements like these 12 Redditors did.
Jumping down without destroying your knees/ankles.
The amount you can carry in RPG's. By the time you're over encumbered you're carrying 20 swords, 12 dragon heads and enough gold coins to retire and play gwent for the rest of your life
the insurmountability of knee-high obstacles
Flipping 200 feet down into a barrel of hay and not dying in Assassin's Creed games
You will start finding large amounts of the exact stuff you need right before you face a big challenge.
Healing from injuries.
The inability to walk through a completely normal door
RELOADS. Reloading a magazine and seeing the ammo count decrease only by the amount of ammo fired, not including the ones still in the dropped magazine. I don't think anybody would bother with picking up extra ammo in a battlefield during the heat of battle.

My plumber has never saved any princesses. Like not even one. Lazy fuck.
Stamina. There's no way someone in real life climb all three pyramids of Giza and then climb Alexandria's tower, swim 5 km, murder 10+ hippos/crocodiles, and go on an hour long storyline mission afterwards in one day, and function the next day, but in video game world, that's a boring Sunday.
Monsters. I think monsters are pretty unrealistic.
When you're crouching, you're immediately considered invisible. Also, "Oh there's a dead body here? Let me panic for 30 seconds and then go back to where I was standing like nothing happened".
