10 Video Game Rewards Not Worth Unlocking

The Katamari series is the video game equivalent of a stress ball. They're adorable, whimsical, and easy to play, and like other Japanese franchises such as Patapon and LocoRoco, they're so damn weird that it's impossible to not get sucked in.

That being said, the games aren't without their annoying elements either.

We Love Katamari - the second entry in the series - has you rolling a ball through a variety of colourful environments, hoovering up smaller objects in order to grow in size. And that's it. That's the game. Like we said, they're easy to play.

There's also a bonus level that requires you to gather one million roses. Considering the game's simple mechanics, that might sound like a quick task, but it isn't. You can't get them all in a single sitting because they don't all spawn at once, so you have to keep coming back, day after day, slowly chipping away at your total. It's tedious and boring, but because there's a possibility of a reward, you'll be inclined to keep going.

Frustratingly though, while there is a reward to be earned, it's a totally underwhelming one. Snag that millionth flower, and the King will thank you for doing such a "pointless exercise" and say that the rose-collecting was trying to teach you about perseverance. Then, you'll get kicked back to the menu. And that's it.

Honestly, it's amazing that such a cutesy little game had the guts to pull off a stunt that's so rage-inducing.
