pointless moments in a game

[Grayl]

Like all escort missions and quests.
That can go fuck itself.

Haha. Yeah, Yahtzee's Halo Wars review hit the spot with that one, and I totally agree, especially on RTS games.

 

[toapat]

The part in WoW where you play the game.

then why is it the single most popular game on earth after the sims and SC?

How is that pointless?

Some of us like to personalize our characters especially on RP realms.

No... I meant the act of playing the game that's pointless.

I guess it'd be better if I would've said from the moment you click "I agree". Or, actually, from the moment you login with your user name.

I'm just getting at the fact that it's pointless! Hence the "Oh no he DI'NT!"

And for the record, I'm a massive fan of online RPing, and WoW was the game that introduced me into it. A shame that it all went horribly horrid after about 6 months of the game being released over here in Europe.

the reason the RP sucks in WoW is because people are unimaginative and europeans are either jerks or really polite from what i have seen

Damn, I was joking. All games are pointless when you think about it, especially MMORPGs.

Wow, never insult WoW or the fanboys attack!

 

[Heart of Darkness]

True. I honestly forgot about the actual Keatons, though. But thanks for reminding me. The Mask of Scents was horrible.

Yeah, wasn't it used in some quest to find a mushroom in the lost woods?

I think so. But for the life of me I can't remember what potion it got you...

Eh, really, I don't care about the potion. Despite playing the game months ago, I'd rather not think about it much anymore.

Didn't like the game?

Not really. It frustrated me to no end. Even through it was the port's problem...stupid port...

 

[Prowers]

Having to recsue peach all the time.

 

[rawlsku]

You have to burn the rope.

Dumb game.

 

[gigastrike]

Mass Effect elevators.

...those were the loading screens. You can get a few quests and codex entrys from them too.

 

[TheSentinel]

Getting the Nuka-Cola Quantum shipping info from the plant. Two of the three places don't exist anymore, and the other should be cleared out in the first Wasteland Survival Guide mission.

 

[timmytom1]

The elevator scene ,in half life 2 episode 1:that was basically just a guessing game as to exactly how long you could avoid screaming your head off at the game ,also any last mission where the devs decide to try something new for an objective,and you can tell they did it just to try and be different

 

[john1771]

Half the fucking dialogue in all MGS games... and I'm a fan of the series.

seconded

 

[timmytom1]

Ravenholm.

[fanboy]It was necessary to me considering I loved using the Gravity gun to the fullest without being shot at.[/fanboy]

No enemy in revenholm has a gun....,and yeah it was pretty pointless especially the bit where valve ran out of ideas so resorted to getting as many poisoned headcrabs together as possible

 

[Slash Dementia]

In Lost Odyssey: after Cooke and Mack's mom's death. Any part with Cooke and Mack kill the mood after that, I think they should have been left home.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

It hurts me to say this, but the last mission of Ace Combat 5 was completely pointless. The story was already over and it only served to send you through a giant set piece and be a climax after a climax.

That was the bit with the SOLG satellite, wasn't it?

 

[Jacobistheshiz]

Fallout 3 ending. Without Broken Steel DLC.
You die way to easy and the game just ends. You can take 3 rockets to the face but when 400 rads hit the scene you get owned.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

In Splinter Cell when you are suddenly prohibited from taking out the main villain, "BECAUSE I SAID SO FISHER."

Any attempt at ridding the world of someone who's going to damage it will be met with Lambert's ardent cry of "WHAT THE HEAALL WAS THAT FISHAW? THE MISSHAWN'S OHVA!"

Then you are left to fester in whatever foreign country you happen to be in (this is early SC days), the NSA convinced now that because you have killed the main villain he shall soon take out everything.

 

[KindaAverageApatheticGamerMan]

The final boss in Fable 2!

You want to beat him? Hit him! ...Or don't...it's up to you really...

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

The Keaton Mask in Majora's Mask.

You do know what that's for, right?

Yeah, I do. But it's essentially a one-use item. Most of the masks from both games are...

There are multiple Keaton spots though. And Mask of Scents is just plain stupid. It goes to some side quest I cannot ever remember.

I went through hours of shit for that fucking thing... >_<

Damn it...

I guess that was one of my most pointless and time consuming moments...

 

[DazZ.]

Fallout 3 ending. Without Broken Steel DLC.
You die way to easy and the game just ends. You can take 3 rockets to the face but when 400 rads hit the scene you get owned.

Even worse if you have to go in with Fawkes standing right next to you.

I love pointless things, I like little details that dont really make the game any better, but actually somehow make the game great. (Duke 3d to use someone elses example)

Storyline in TF2?
No its not pointless, its awesome.

Because a population of 12 year olds and smelly people.


EDIT: Who's parents buy them gamer cards every chance they get.

only the morons, its harder to find a gamercard then The Sims 1
