10 Insultingly Bad Side-Mission Rewards In Video Games
2. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - 200 Pigeons (GTA IV)
Kinda hard to top that previous one, huh? In a just world, you would be right, but that is not the world we live in.
No, we live in the world where Rockstar decided to make GTA IV have a side mission where you hunt down 200 pigeons across a New York sized metropolis, and nobody stopped them.
As you scour Liberty City for these stupid freaking pigeons, shooting every one that you come across, you keep yourself going thinking that there has to be some kind of reward for doing this. Perhaps a jetpack? A hoverboard? The freaking spartan cannon? Whatever it is, it had better be worth it.
And what is it? NOTHING!
The game gives you a few points - just a few - to your completion score, pats you on the bum, and sends you on your merry god damn way. After which most people take out the game disk and sacrifice it to the elder gods in exchange for knowledge and power because that's a way better use of your time than the hours you just poured into this waste of time of a side mission.
But even nothing is better - or at least less insulting - than what we have for #1.
