8 Video Game Weapons That Are Genuinely HORRIBLE

6. Everything In Manhunt 1 & 2

Easily one of the most horrifying aspects of Rockstars' controversy-baiting Manhunt title, outside of Pigsy's design, is its approach to violence in general.

Not content to let the player bludgeon, stab, and shoot their way out of a live snuff film set, the game introduces the ability to stalk your opponent, and "rewarding" the player with increasingly more violent and horrible executions the longer you stay behind them unnoticed.

It's bad enough to see a man be suffocated to death via a plastic bag, but to see it tied tightly on his head and then his nose broken so he drowns in the blood is...well, I think it goes far beyond the line of decency that it becomes a foreign concept of a faraway land to this series.

For every fatality in Mortal Kombat that made you squirm, Manhunt has about twenty more horrifying animations that will make you genuinely worry about the developers, and while the likes of Scorpion eviscerating foes is stomach churning, Manhunt delivers its violence in a very gritty, and altogether more realistic way, and that just makes it even worse. Grim.
