10 Awesome Weapons That Actually Made Video Games Worse
4. P19 Machine Gun - Resident Evil 7
Though the majority of Resident Evil 7 is a masterpiece of grim unease - all the more so if played in VR - Capcom sadly undermined their own efforts in the final few hours of the game, when the player is given access to a P19 Machine Gun.
During the game's tanker sequence - where the player controls Mia - they're able to unlock the P19, which while lacking the pure stopping power of other weapons in the game, touts staggering damage-per-second due to its faster rate of fire.
Furthermore, the game doles out an almost comical amount of ammo to players, ensuring that the terror of those earlier encounters against the Molded is massively diminished - unless you're badass enough to play on Madhouse difficulty, at least.
The tanker section is an unfortunate lull from which the game never fully recovers, with the more pared-down suspense of the earlier hours replaced with forgettable shoot 'em up schlock, ahead of a deeply unsatisfying final boss fight.
