Most useless item in a game?

[Composer]

thought of another! the toy megabuster from Dead Rising. it took me n my buddy 5 full busters to kill 1 zombie

any equipment from a store. In almost any game, you can find better stuff from randoms monsters and chests.

Bent tin cans in Fallout 3. Why would I ever use a bent tin can.

For the Rock-It-Launcher.And nothing else.

The Klobb.

Sure, in single player... but in multiplayer, it has to be the throwing knife! You cannot hit with it! Unless you both stand still...

Oh, and another one... the Visicopter in RaCF:Tools of Destruction, I couldn't control the damn thing... and I don't know how much damage it did, but why use that when you can run up and eviscerate your enemy with an oversized gun?

Alright guys. License to Kill mode, Slappers Only. GO!

the Pokeflute in Red, Blue, Yellow, etc.
you wake up the snorlax and then just put it to sleep again or paralyze it so you can catch it. why not just catch the sleeping snorlax?

Once you use a key in a Elder Scrolls game, they become pretty useless.

Also, the dildo in GTA: Vice City, I'd rather slash people with a machete.

 

[Starke]

The Muscle-mass form in "Prototype."

Muscle-mass was one of the best powers in the game when fully upgraded. You could take out a Strike Helicopter in one kick when you had it out.

AND YOU COULD PUNCH PEOPLE SO HARD THEY WOULD EXPLODE.

My vote goes to the .32 pistol from Fallout 3. It does less damage than the pistol given to you at the start of the game & uses the same ammunition as a superior weapon, the Hunting Rifle.
That, or the Empathy perk in Fallout 2.

Ignoring that Empathy was a perk, not an item, it made dialog puzzles a hell of a lot easier.

I'd agree on the .32 pistol, except that it meant that you could pick up .32 ammo off the corpse of the guy using the pistol without much danger from them.

The pepper spray in Deus Ex would be my vote. Even if you use it you need to immediatly melee whoever you use it on with something else. It's not like the gas grenades which you can leave as traps. It's not like the stun prod which is an instant takedown.

Alternatly the one shot plasma pistol from Deus Ex. Did ANYONE ever get a kill with those bastards?

That staff Sheogaroth gives you in that Deadra shrine quest in Oblivion.

What can you gain from a magic staff that turns victums into even stronger monsters?

It's random, use it on a daedric lord to turn him into a rat, and see if it's still useless.

 

[Spleenbag]

The rod with the star on the end in Adventure.

Since all of mine are already taken, here's a really old one. The Spazer from Metroid 2 (no, I do not mean Prime 2, I mean the one on the original Gameboy). If you even get it, you use it for all of 5 rooms before you pick up the plasma beam. It's not even very good.

Do you know what else sucked? The spring ball... I really hated the guy guarding it...if I remember correctly, it walked from one side of the room to the other over and over again, except it JUMPED WHENEVER YOU PRESSED A BUTTON!! That made hitting it's eye very annoying... and the room was rather small too... and the spring ball just let's you morphball jump without a using a bomb... I stopped playing after that...

The dildo is in San Andreas.

For me it would have to be all those odd weapons added to the Prince of Persia games, there was a teddy bear, a hockey stick and a phone that come to mind immediately but I know there were a few more. They broke quickly and were totally useless.

That eavesdrop perk in COD4

seconded

 

[FYIImASpy22]

The .44 scoped magnum from Fallout 3

Not the instant kill gun the Mysterious Stranger uses

 

[FYIImASpy22]

WTF was the point of the dildo anyway?

Are they trying to make these games for women?

 

[Carbonic Penguin]

I remembered another one! In the Mario and Luigi RPG series, the shoes that let you jump on spiky enemies... pretty useless, since you have a hammer. The only flying, spiky enemy I can remember is in the Paper Mario series, and then I use Hammer Throw!

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

ears in Diablo 2

 

[Scrat01]

The Giants knife, Shurikans from NG. And the pepper spray from Deus Ex.
