8 Video Game Weapons That Are Genuinely HORRIBLE

So let's be clear about something, no matter what weapon it comes from, nor which side of the moral coin pulls the trigger or looses the arrow, poison weapons are the epitome of dickishness in video games.

I mean you're literally sapping the strength and stamina of your foe, causing them likely horrendous amounts of pain, and turning an encounter into an unfair fight as your opponent struggles to maintain their bearings.

Also, it's really, really annoying guys. Seriously.

There's nothing worse than being hit with a poison weapon, reaching into your travel backpack (or betwixt your buttons seeing as there's no other place for your hero to carry items), and finding out that you've no means of curing yourself from poison, which then turns a run into a desperate sprint to safety, or a forced retreat to stock up.

Actually, tell a lie, there is something worse and that's curing yourself and getting poisoned again immediately. Cheers for that.

Poison weapons stop the flow of gameplay much in the same way the poison itself thickens and slows your blood and as such are doubly horrible when it comes to video games.
