These Video Game Weapons Suck! (At First)

5. Masamune - Chrono Trigger

It feels very strange to take a weapon of such fame and legendary renown as the one and only Masamune and point at it with grubby paws and say it "sucks" but this is very much the case, albeit for a short while, when it comes to the almighty Chrono Trigger.

Now first things first, look at Frog and tell me this isn't the best character ever to grace a video game cover, and secondly look at the whopper of a weapon he's holding. These two facets sure do set the heart palpitations to "Zion Club Rave In A Pandemic" levels (eww get that sweat off me) and upon recruiting Frog and unlocking the almighty blade you might be prepared to put your feet up and coast through the rest of the game no issue.

However, much like my disastrous first driving lesson, things hit a brick wall almost immediately when it's mentioned by others that the Masamune isn't actually fully powered up yet, and is soon outclassed by other weapons that you can buy at vendors. Now, this isn't exactly a good look for a weapon that has been pumped full of hot air and which is now resembling something of an enema to your expectations. Hell, we've seen it cleave through a !*$% mountain and here it is struggling to compete with a letter opener I bought from Del Boy down the market.

However, fret not! For the adorable Amphibian can indeed go on a quest in the mid to late game in order to get that sword swole and upon completion rewards, you not only with an insanely powerful weapon, but also the satisfaction that Frog can finally fulfill his quest to honor his friend's memories in battle.
