10 Totally Broken Parts Of Video Games We Somehow Put Up With

Red Dead Redemption 2 is arguably the most impressive of everything released on PS4 and Xbox One.

It's not without it's faults though, and while you can have an incredibly immersive time as Arthur Morgan; shooting up saloons, skinning animals for food and all-round living in virtual reality without the goggles, the game's wanted system drew criticism for good reason.

Assumedly coded as a way to keep tabs on players no matter what, even if you make sure no one is around - like you're up in the mountains with just a mouse's fart for company - firing guns or killing someone will ALWAYS put a bounty on your head.

It's not just proximity, either. Items like face-covering masks wouldn't hide your identity, and even if you took out a number of enemies with silenced weapons like knives or stealth takedowns, you'd still have the law breathing down your neck in seconds.

To this day there is no definite way to avoid a bounty in Red Dead Redemption 2, and it's testament to how stellar the rest of the game is, that we couldn't care less.
