8 Video Games That Did The Hard Work For You

8. No More Heroes 1 - Letz Shake

So as anyone who's even glanced at the No More Heroes franchise can tell you, these games are all about over-the-top boss battles and a whole bucket of gore, and thus a lot of enjoyment comes from dismembering the cavalcade of crazed killers in frantic encounters.

However, as those who have experienced the franchise first hand will attest to, No More Heroes is actually a title much more interested in inverting your expectations as a player.

For example, while the boss battles are an intense sugar rush assault on the senses, in order to "unlock" them, you need to undertake literal chores like mowing grass and carrying fruit, all of which are dragged out ON PURPOSE to make you question the relationship between gratification and violence, of what you'd be prepared to do in order to satiate your bloodlust.

And even when you've earned enough cash, the game then pulls another fast one on you during the "battle" with Letz Shake. Here the stage is set for a climactic fight, and thanks to the monstrous size of the machine in front of you, it really does seem like you'll have a tough battle ahead....that is until Henry drops from the sky and eliminates the boss in one move before leaving.

Oh. Cheers. I guess? I mean he's saved you a fight but he's also...cost you...A FIGHT!? Damn you, Henry!
