10 Most Useless Character Customisations Found In A Video Game

10. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V kicks off in typically baffling fashion - being a Hideo Kojima game and all - with protagonist Venom Snake waking up in a hospital, where he's greeted by a doctor asking him to create a new appearance. At this point, the player is taken to a character customisation screen.

Fans were largely baffled that a game which saw them clearly playing as one specific character was asking them to customise their own face, a first for the mainline series in fact.

Hilariously, moments after you pick your new face - which is briefly shown flashed in a mirror by the doctor - you're once again seen rocking the familiar mug of "Big Boss" anyway.

And so, for almost the entire rest of the game your created face is nowhere to be seen, except for in window reflections if you're looking really closely, and in the game's "true" ending, where it's revealed you weren't even Big Boss after all (but a medic turned into a Big Boss doppelganger through plastic surgery).

To be fair, this created face does also appear in the game's multiplayer component, Metal Gear Online, but given that the dense campaign was the selling point for everyone, customising your character and then barely seeing the face throughout the game was...a very Kojima move.
