These Video Game Items SUCK! (On Purpose!)

I honestly feel that when the discussion arises as to what the best Fallout games are, Fallout Tactics gets unfairly left out in the irradiated wastes, which is a real shame as this game is a title that shines with an unhealthy green glow. I love the focus on tense squad-centric combat, and while it might not be for purists who enjoy a more granular dialogue-based experience, this had quality in spades where it counted.

Yet before we slap on the war paint and start whooping like apes as we charge into combat, we might want to check what equipment we're bringing, because Micro Forte who developed this title snuck in a few clangers on purpose that you definitely don't want to be stuck with.

Take for example the ChauChat, a rather impressive looking heavy machine gun that you can find in the caves below Junction City. Note that I said impressive LOOKING as seriously that's where the plus points of this gun begin and end, as if you equip this gun and head into battle you'll experience something truly harrowing.

As you line up the gun to fire at your target and pull the trigger, nothing will happen, and the only sounds you'll hear are an empty clicking and the laughter of the devs as they con another Fallout fool. The item description paints the full picture, listing this as easily the worst weapon ever made and that it would be lucky to get one or two rounds out of the thing before it jammed.

Oh silly us for thinking that a weapon in a video game would actually, you know, fire a !*$% bullet or two. No, please I'm the idiot for thinking otherwise. WHY GAME WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME FOR JUST WANTING TO PLAY YOU!
