10 Awesome Video Game Mechanics Introduced WAY Too Late
6. The Shango Satellite Laser - Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil 5's penultimate chapter, 6-2, sees Chris and Sheva taking on the monstrous Uroboros Aheri, and during the fight you'll get the opportunity to use the Shango Satellite Laser, an immensely powerful laser which can be guided to fire upon Aheri with the use of a gun-like targeting device.
The laser can be used to annihilate Aheri's weak points, while taking roughly a minute to charge between blasts.
But sadly this boss fight is the only time players are able to use the hilariously OP piece of tech, and coming about an hour before the end of the game it seems like a case of too little, too late.
But modders of course hacked the laser to be usable on conventional enemies from the start of the game, and even included a rapid-fire mode, which is exactly as hilarious (and awesome) as it sounds.
