10 Terrible Moments From The Best Video Games
5. Algernon Wasp's Exotics Missions In Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is by far and the large the greatest western cowboy epic to grace video game platforms. Its gigantic world allowed for deep exploration and endless adventures, filled with NPCs and creatures all living realistic lives.
If you were along for the story this was all grand, but completionists will know all too well about Algernon Wasp's set of missions. Collecting the full list of exotic items took forever.
The player was forced to either seek out incredibly rare flowers or frequently rotate between the same few spots in the hopes of hunting Snowy and Little Egrets, to name but a few of the long-winded tasks that sent everyone to sleep.
The entire affair could take hours and hours to finish and in the end the rewards were no more than an exotic hat and Algernon's revolver - both of which were relatively useless at the time of completion, unless you went of your way to complete them really, really early.
It is strange to see such a phenomenal game burdened by menial chores that offer little in the way of fun.
