10 Pointless (Yet Awesome) Character Abilities In Video Games
5. Smoking - Vanquish/ Saboteur
Vanquish isn't the only superb game which lets you charrgril your lungs for fun, as it's also an option in The Saboteur as well.
Let’s begin with the slip 'n' slider thrill rider, can’t wait to rip out your inside-r that is Vanquish, a game so cool that you’ll get hypothermia just being near it. As gravel voiced protagonist Sam Gideon, you tackle a Russian terrorist plot the only way that you know how: by shooting it tonnes until it goes away.
However, if things are getting a bit much for you, then why not spark up a cigarette to calm the nerves? The best thing about this is that despite having an entire army firing at him, Sam can puff away like Thomas The Tank Engine. However, the reason why this is only a part entry is because while the act of smoking doesn’t do anything for the player, the cigarette does, as when you fling it away it can draw enemy fire.
The Saboteur features the same mechanic, but without the benefit of distracting Nazis, and is just an idle animation. Which weirdly, makes Nazis more clever than Russian robots. Well, good on you for a change, Nazis.
