Most Ridiculous Health Items In Games

[Hiphophippo]

I'm partial to the turkeys in Streets of Rage.

"Oh man, I'm injured! Better jump kick this trash can! /kick "What's this? A turkey? OMNOMONOMONOMON"

I just don't know about that.

I gotta go with the painkillers from Max Payne. Seriously, his liver must look like shit

Forget his liver, he's got a friggin' magnum bullet lodged in his head. I don't think Painkillers will save him there.

 

[ShakerSilver]

The needle in Bad Company one. Got shot? Shoot yourself up.

Reminds me of IGI and IGI 2. I guess the shot speeds up clotting so that you won't bleed to death, but I think using it repeatedly will cause your blood vessels to explode from too much clotting factors being produced.

 

[F3TISH]

The defibrillator paddles in Bad Company 2. I know it was probably the only option for the game designers to resurrect someone, but I doubt a few thousand volts of electricity can do much for a soldier who has just had their head removed by a .50 BMG round going a couple of times the speed of sound.

For example purposes:

Althoug hit makes sense at first... Rations in MGS! A bit of food designed to last long, not taste nice which san heals bulet wounds and stop bleeding and such. I know I'm being picky but its just that its not even a big portion of food man! :/

Your own body, regenerating it's health as you hide behind cover for 5 seconds.

The defibs in Left 4 Dead 2. So one could be lying there after having there after having there guts ripped out by a hunter, smash to pieces by a Tank and been burnt by a molitov and with one jolt of electricity they're back on their feet.

I'd love it if the game actually had mutilation and burn effects on the survivors. A survivor running around with all they flesh burnt off would be disturbingly funny.

Coins in any of the 3D Mario games... Seriously... how does freaking money physically heal you?

 

[Vhite]

In Alien versus Predator predator stabs himeself if he wants to heal himself.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

It's funny, even though System Shock is very realistic in this respect, the idea of eating Chips or drinking soda REGAINING health seems ridiculous to me.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

RED WIZARD NEEDS FOOD! [sub]And a tourniquet...[/sub]


The Heroin (admit it, that's what you thought it was) in BC 1, and the healing red jelly in MW2.

That said, I like regenerating health.

You sir are the winner. Please accept this round of applause. *applause*

Your own body, regenerating it's health as you hide behind cover for 5 seconds.

Well it's not an item, but ridiculous nonetheless.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. It remindes me of what Yahtzee said in his Turok review about health meters.

 

[Communist partisan]

The stimpacks in fallout 3 you don't need food or anything you yust need those dirty needles whith wierd fluid inide it heals/removes/cures scorpion posion, explotion damage, bullet wounds, broken bones and A LOT more....

 

[Kuhkren]

Mass effect may be one of the few that make sense. Medigel, direct manual application or the indirect type expelled from the suits. The Codex is pretty sweet.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Busting open trash cans for food? That one was pretty silly.

 

[TheJoojo]

It has already been mentioned but:

1. Resident Evil 5 herbs (hairsprays?)
2. Max Payne's enormous amounts of painkillers. I'd like the brand he uses.
