8 Ridiculous Video Game Premises That Make No Sense
2. 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand
The premise: Renowned rapper 50 Cent and the rest of his entourage, G-Unit, have just concluded their latest performance in an unnamed, war-torn Middle Eastern country. Keen to collect the $10 million promised to them for the gig, the event's promoter subsequently reveals that he's unable to cough up the cash.
Instead, the promoter offers Fiddy and his bandmates a diamond-encrusted skull for their services, only for the priceless artefact to be stolen shortly thereafter by a paramilitary group.
Cue a disgruntled group of musicians taking up arms against said terrorist group with deadly efficiency.
Why it makes no sense: What part of that absurd premise does make sense?
Admittedly, nobody was expecting a script to rival Shakespeare for Fiddy's first video game adventure, but suspension of disbelief can only go so far before the entire setup becomes a comedy.
Musicians? Sure. Well-trained soldiers that know the ins and outs of military-grade ordnance and are versed in combat strategy? Consult your nearest dictionary for the word farfetched.
