10 Video Game Skills You Won’t Believe You Had To Unlock

10. Running - No More Heroes

When you play No More Heroes you play as Travis Touchdown, the childish but well-meaning protagonist of the franchise. Travis is an accomplish swordsman, and as the games progress, an increasingly accomplished assassin, capable of some seriously mind-blowing moves.

In the first game, though, he can't run. At all. Until you help him learn how to.

Or, rather, until you unlock the ability by buying it off your Russian special-moves-trainer Lovikov. In order to do so, you'll have to collect at least seven Lovikov Balls, at which point the man will deem you worth training. That might feel kind of patronising, but hey, as an assassin who currently can't run proving yourself is probably a good idea.

You can easily miss all this for way longer than you'd want to, though, leaving the unfortunate Travis gently strolling his way to various murders. Slow and steady maybe isn't a viable assassination tactic, all things considered - but at least one person has probably run through all or most of the game by walking the whole time.
