Most Overpowered/Broken Anything In a Game?

[AnAngryMoose]

So what's the most overpowered, underpowered, broken or just poorly balanced thing in a video game you've come across?

For me, it has to be a Hero Team Deathmatch in LotR: Conquest. If not that, then the hero Aragon from the same game >.>

Seriously...in more "realistic" shooters that give you low health and let you die a few bullets, there is one fact that prevents anything from being really overpowered:

In the immortal words of Johnny Gat from Saint's Row:

[HEADING=2]"Bullets still kill motherfuckers, right?"[/HEADING]

Anyway:

Arceus from Pokemon

Also Mewtwo

And Garchomp

WHAT? I'm on a pokemon kick.

Shield Rod and Alucard Shield Combo in SOTN.
Seriously, four seconds = dead Dracula. Sad.

 

[CloakedOne]

The Apprentice in Soul Calibur IV. He is completely cheap and unfair as a character.

Fable 2 inferno level 5...Still gives me nightmares how easy that game became all of 2 hours in when I got it

You think THAT'S bad. Try Shock level 5.

The baserunning controls in MLB09: The Show.

Seth still pains me in the depths of my soul. That yin-yang torso-ed bastard.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Akimbo shotguns.

They just bug me.

Jack from Tekken. Just rememebered him. >.>

Try playing coop. One using Inferno Level 5 while the other shoots the few survivors.

CARP!!! The perfect killer combination of broke and overpowered, as the article explains.

Fuck the Farsight.

 

[Sky Captanio]

Two hammerheads in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. I bet every stronghold using them.

Garden Gnome.
A one hit fuckin kill.
I like to sleep with them beside me at night. They make me feel safe.
Fallout 3.

Orlandu in Final Fantasy Tactics

 

[Katana314]

Counter-Strike just has 6 guns:
M4, AK, Deagle, Awp, USP, and P90.

Whether you say they're overpowered, or the others are underpowered, is fine by me.

But I'd like to see ONE game someday that appropriately makes the Desert Eagle a useless handcannon that's more likely to injure yourself than the opponent.

Orlandu in Final Fantasy Tactics

Come on! I thought I was going to be the first to say it. How does this keep happening to me.

But seriously, I feel like I'm cheating by putting him in my party. He deals enough damage to kill most enemies in one hit (most bosses in two) and he starts with a sword that gives him auto-haste. He's an awesome character, so I keep him in my party anyways. Also, Balthier from the PSP remake of Tactics is almost as broken.

the improved gravity gun makes half life 2 laugably easy, although that might be entirely or partially intended.

in morrowind you could create your own spells allowing for fireballs with enourmess AoE while you yourself where immune to fire. Self crafting of abilities = OP

 

[C117]

The Troll Warlord in DotA (at least in most versions, he's nerfed now).

All you need to become good with him: his ulti and Satanic or any other lifesteal-item.
