10 Insane Reasons That Video Games Were Missing Features

10. Removing Weapons For "Historical Accuracy" (Only To Sell Them As DLC) - Dynasty Warriors 9

Shortly before Dynasty Warriors 9 was released, it was revealed that some of the series' more fun and interesting weapons were being removed, with producer Akihiro Suzuki claiming that this was done for the sake of "realism."

While Dynasty Warriors is based very loosely on historical fact, is anyone really playing these games for water-tight historical authenticity? Not a damn chance.

And to rub salt in the wound, a few months after release Koei Tecmo revealed that they were going to sell the aforementioned removed weapons back to players in the form of paid DLC, because just... selling a complete game to players upfront is apparently too much of an ask these days.

With critical and fan response to the game already in the toilet, this did nothing to calm those who felt short-changed by the thoroughly lackluster Dynasty Warriors 9. 

Striving for realism in a series like this is silly enough, but it becomes downright insulting when it's revealed to be a bold-faced, cash-grabbing lie.
