And finally, we have a slightly different angle for our final entry. After all, you're probably wondering why we're crying foul about the death of Far Cry 3's cartoonishly savage antagonist Vaas, right?

Well, the manner in which he died proved hugely frustrating to fans, because Vaas isn't killed by the player's own inputs, but during a cutscene after they enact a basic takedown prompt - a QTE, effectively.

Given how hatefully Vaas was depicted throughout the game, for players to not even have the satisfaction of ending him themselves was mightily unsatisfying.

We wanted to be the ones who finished him off, but instead the game took control away from us and did it itself. Boo.
