10 Video Game Moments NOBODY Asked For
Congratulations, you're playing as a pervert.
Even though video games are a source of endless entertaining, they can also serve as a coven for frustration and rage. We've all gotten furious because we couldn't beat an exceptionally tricky level or didn't know how to solve a puzzle. You can get so worked up, you may wonder why the developers put irritating moments like this in the game to begin with.
Of course, the toughest parts of a game always have a purpose. Losing against a cheap boss repeatedly can be annoying but it makes it all the more satisfying when you triumph. It's tough to say goodbye when a character dies but we don't usually get too down about it if they had a decent send-off.
But there are some moments in video games that not one single soul wanted to see.
Have you ever wanted to relax by watching a cow empty its bowels? Thought not.
So, why would any company think it was a wise idea to put that in a game!?
Why do games throw in last-minute twists that don't make sense? What deranged developer thought it would be a good move to turn the mascot of a respected franchise a pervert?
For reasons beyond our understanding, developers put these moments in games, even though nobody was asking for them.
10. Your Wife Is Your Arm - Bionic Commando
In 2009, Capcom decided to revitalise the dwindling Bionic Commando franchise with a reboot, uncreatively called Bionic Commando.
Even though the gritty retelling received mixed reviews, the latest instalment in the franchise was not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. I mean, it definitely wasn't a masterpiece, but Bionic Commando 2009 was a refreshing take on a tired franchise. (Also, the arm mechanics were cool as hell.)
Unfortunately, these positive qualities were overshadowed by, let's be honest, one of the dumbest plot twists in video game history. About two-thirds through the main campaign, our hero discovers the bionic arm contains the soul of his dead wife.
What makes this revelation more ridiculous is how pointless it is. If you removed this element from the game entirely, it wouldn't impair the narrative in anyway. All the developers had to do to make this game better was not try to expand the lore with a convoluted, non-sensical plot twist. Bionic Commando may not be as bad as the critics said but this part definately deserved all the hate it received.
