Same rule applies to video games, especially third person, 3D, single player games.
So, so many power fantasy games have enemies literally ~~cue~~ EDIT: queue up to fight you one at a time, only occasionally attacking you when you're in the middle of taking on one particular person.
Less forgiving games don't do this, or at least do this faaar less, and are thus usually much more difficult and require either stat grinding or finding a more effective strategy.
then you pull them one by one. Imagine that situation in real life - there are 5 thugs sipping beer from 40 oz bottles standing in a circle. You pull them one by one by standing 5,99 m from one of them, to make him aggro. His eyes turn red, he walks in your direction, and the others are like:
-where did Mike go?
(you repeat that three more times)
I've actually been in situations similar to this, irl, a few times.
Once a gaggle of piss drunk teenagers pulled up to a convenience store I was at, as I was leaving.
The car is obviously one of their parents', its a current year Escalade and there's no way they're beyond high school age.
Oh, and the car has serious front end damage, fresh front end damage, including a front wheel that is busted so bad that its 60 degrees off of the other wheel's alignment.
These idiot drunk kids were just in a car accident.
I tell them they need to get out of the car, call somebody to pick them up, you idiots are gonna kill someone.
They decide they don't appreciate that.
I start to call the police, but am interupted by them all falling out of the car, something like 12 of them packed into a car there's no way more than 6 can be in legally.
The 4 or 5 males start to circle up around me, I retreat into the convenience store.
Narrow Aisles.
Better to have max 2 simultaneous attackers than 4.
Also the store has many more cameras inside.
Two of them are actually drunk/ballsy/high enough to swing at me, and I just tank the hits, blocking, until the store owner grabs a gun, tells em the police are on the way.
At that point they pile back into the car, telling me I'm gonna be on WorldStar tonight, the ones not ballsy enough to fight were recording it on their phones.
They then pull out in an extremely haphazard manner, almost taking out a gas pump, then peel out and drive off at 50mph in a 25mph area, front axel cracking and popping as they do so.
I checked WorldStar 2 hrs later, after being interviewed by the cops.
They never posted shit.
Pussies.

I think they are the ones that should be on WorldStar, considering how they packaged themselves in the vehicle.
This is the correct url:
https://worldstarhiphop.com/videos/
Its been commonly shortened to just 'WorldStar' for about 15 years now.
WorldStarHipHop actually started/launched the same year youtube did, and is one of the very few remnants of Web 1.0 that didn't get completely get absorbed by giant tech corporations.
... And that is because it has basically no content moderation.
Its basically all sensationalist shock videos, its founder described it as the 'CNN of the ghetto.'
All the modern Web 3.0 alternative video hosting sites run by cryptobro/fascists to 'escape censorship'... I guess fittingly forget or don't even know that a Haitian immigrant beat them to them to the punch on that by almost 20 years.
