10 More Video Games That Punished You For Trying To Be Cool

In the case of the recently released Need for Speed Unbound, it doesn't give you any choice at all to avoid this punishment, but it's still a massive pain in the ass all the same.

In the game's prologue, you'll be able to acquire and customise a few cars, offering a seemingly gentle introduction to the overall gameplay loop, where you can start amassing an obsessive collection of sweet rides.

But players who spend way too long lovingly customising these cars will get a swift kick in the pants at the end of the prologue, when the entire garage is stolen in a daring heist.

The game proper then kicks off with players having to start their collection all over again, without all their money accrued in the prologue no less. So yeah, you're better off just zipping through Unbound's opening section before trying to impress anyone.
