9 Video Game "Rewards" That Humiliated Players

8. Watch Dogs - Spec Ops SMG-11

Watch Dogs 1, outside of all the bluster around performance issues was, in places, a really fun action game, allowing a lovely balance of tech-based stealth and offensive options. One of the highlights was seeing these two elements combine in the gang hideout sub-missions.

In these, you had to take down goons and prime targets, as many had little twists and interesting layouts.

It was kind of like playing Hitman within Watch Dogs, and tantalisingly, the game mentions a reward for bagging all the baddies in these 15 areas.

Well. I hate to break it to you, but that reward sucks, as it’s the Spec-Ops SMG-11 - a gun which - while admittedly being fast firing - is something you can already buy for a palty 22 grand at most gun stores. It was incredibly disappointing to unlock, seeing as you’ve most likely managed to cap these challenges without one.

It’s like the game shrugs its shoulders and says “well, you had your fun doing them, so be content with that.”

Outrage I say.
