10 Awesome Weapons That Actually Made Video Games Worse

Metal Gear Solid V is in some ways a victim of its own expansive accessibility, because the stealth action game gives players such an insane arsenal of weapons and gadgets that it leaves little to be truly challenged by.

Of the many abilities and buddy characters who make the game easier, there's nothing and nobody more game-breaking than D-Dog, Venom Snake's adorable and loyal canine companion.

D-Dog can be used to spot, distract, stun, and kill soldiers, detect useful and dangerous items in the vicinity, and even use Fulton balloons to extract prisoners and enemies.

He's basically a walking Swiss army knife capable of doing a lot of the grunt work for players, in turn allowing them to direct traffic from afar.

While the majority of the game's buddies are somewhat unbalanced - looking at you too, Quiet - none minimise the general sense of challenge quite as aggressively as D-Dog.
