8 Most Humiliating Video Game Missions
2. Collecting One Million Roses - We Love Katamari
Originally when penning this list I was going to put down "every collect-a-thon ever" as an entry, because let's face it, the last thing that your hero would want to undertake when Evil itself is breathing down your neck is a task to collect feathers for a mate, or to shoot pigeons just because they exist.
However, it soon became clear that while almost everyone flipped their wig about collecting 900 Korok Seeds in Breath Of The Wild only to be gifted a golden poo, very few were screaming into the void that is the task of collecting one million roses only to be mocked by your dad.
As strange as that statement sounds this is indeed the mission presented to those playing the equally strange We Love Katamari. By royal decree, The King Of The Cosmos has tasked you with collecting One Million Roses to help flood the universe with beauty, and thus begins a challenge of monumental proportions.
The issue quickly arises that you can't collect all one million in a single sitting, and have to farm the game over and over resting real-life hours in between to give the flowers a chance to regrow. Over the course of several days and endless rolling, you'll finally have the rolled roses ready for the regent. Except instead of gifting you with some amazing power or ability, the King identifies this as a totally pointless task, before trying to fob you off with this being a lesson of endurance and putting in the hard work.
That's it? I could have actually spent that time learning a new skill or an instrument! Or have taken the time to pay my rent online!
