These Video Game Items SUCK! (On Purpose!)

So I think by now we all know that the Dark Souls games are basically the equivalent of being hunted in a horror film, calling out for help and only the sounds of prolonged agonizing screaming echoing back. In short they are brutal, unforgiving and of course, make you feel perfectly and utterly helpless at every given opportunity.

Which makes any slight glimmer of hope shine that much brighter. From finding a new item, weapon or just a place where you're not getting stabbed betwixt thy cheeks at every given opportunity, we hold on to these moments. Well along comes From Software to slap the good times away once more, even having the gall to treat the character creation menu as a place to utterly mess with the player!

That's right, right before the game even begins, Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team thought it was fair game to f**k with you, by offering up the strange and mysterious Pendant as a starting item. Now it's never expressly stated what the item does, only that it MIGHT be useful, and as an experience hardcore gamer TM, you might pick this hoping it'll unlock a secret later on.

Well, my friend, there is indeed a secret, but that secret is, that you're a bloody mug for picking it as it literally does nothing. Miyazaki even went on record to state that he wanted to use the item as a bit of a "practical joke" to see what lengths players would go to in trying to find out what it did.

Oh Hidetaka you little trickster you, yah little dirty dog you, you.....!*$% prick why the f**k did you do this you salacious creamy !*$%?! I CAN BARELY GET THROUGH THE FIRST AREA AND YOU WANNA PULL THIS s**t!

Pendant? More like Pen-DON'T f**k WITH ME MATE!
