8 Worst Video Game Mission Types Done RIGHT

There are very few people that wake up each morning with and clock into their 9-5 with a grin on their faces.

There's just something about that heady brand of capitalism that grinds the soul down to a nub that leaves you feeling all juiced out, and that's where video games come in, the salve to the relentless burn of outside demands and a place where you can escape your woes or lessen them for a while and have a bloody good time doing it.

Has your manager been a pain in the ass? Let's smash the face off this boss then. Working in Primark which is quite possible a certified Hellmouth? Let's play some Peggle pal. All are welcome in the big bubbling pot of video game fun.

So of course when video games throw up scenarios in which our heroes must perform menial tasks there's nothing worse than having reality come crashing through the wall and demand that you then pay for said wall. Grand Theft Auto 5 for example had you moving shipping containers and it was precisely zero fun because work is hardly ever fun!

That is unless you're working within the No More Heroes world.

Here you'll be mowing lawns, collecting coconuts, and picking up trash. It sucks, but also it's the absolute best. Confused?

You see that's the point of these challenges, they absolutely stink but it's a meta-commentary on what the player is prepared to put up with in order to take part in the murder mayhem missions that the game is known for. Are you willing to sift through literal garbage for a chance to kill someone, and if so, maybe you should be asking yourself why.

Doing a mission right here didn't mean making it fun, it just gave the terrible mission a subtext and that's just as delicious.
