I think so. But for the life of me I can't remember what potion it got you...TheRedLucario said:
Eh, really, I don't care about the potion. Despite playing the game months ago, I'd rather not think about it much anymore.
Oh yeah, the Monkey cave in Earthbound is not only annoying, but it's also pointless as it serves no other purpose other than to annoy the player. I still can't understand why it was put into the game.
That's every FF protagonist I've seen.Mirroga said:
I'm gonna extend that to any character having amnesia, I automatically hate. Cop-out for a good storytelling feature.
Same with tutorials where you're a general/captain/some-sort-of-awesome-warrior who took a hiatus and hasn't fought in a while and you need to take a "refresher course" to "get back in the action."
But anyway, most pointless moments? Well, define pointless? Is there a point to even playing games at all, (yadda yadda classic speech you've already heard which your answer was "BUT IT'S FUN") to which I say that things being pointless are subjective.
To some, even having the ability to fish in a game like WoW is relatively pointless, but it's just one more interactive thing to do with your environment, in my opinion.
Honestly, I think games need to do that more. Add more pointless stuff!
In Duke Nukem 3D, you could PLAY POOL. You could dial a phone, you could piss in a toilet, you could BREAK the toilet, and drink the water for health back! You could pay a stripper, you could destroy holes in walls, you could kick monsters in the face, take steroids, etc, etc.
My point is that pointless activities like that can be fun. Is kicking a monster in the face the optimal way of killing it? Never! But it's pretty fun to even have the option to.
Anyway, pointless and unfun? To me, well, how's about RTS missions where they start you with the tiniest corner of the map and give the enemies countless units, buildings, resources, etc, yet the computer never does anything with it. Like, they could send it all after you at the start, but they don't, so instead, they just sit there and wait for you to kill them, sending little trickles of forces every 5-10 minutes. Starcraft's campaign had quite a few examples of this, but so does every RTS campaign. To me, it's just pointless grinding that could have been accomplished much faster if they let me take a force larger than the generic garbage they let me start with.
The final boss in Okage.
Sooooo weak with his attacks, but it still took forever to kill him.
Final sequence of Kingdom Hearts 2. I understand final bosses often have multiple forms, but that one had about twenty...honestly?

Mass Effect elevators.
Mass Effect side missions, with the exception of the Luna mission for class specializations. Seriously, every other one consists of "Drive over these 9 mountains, survey 4 things, fight a totally pointless Geth ambush, rinse and repeat 40 times."
