The most useless button in a game.

[J-Alfred]

The square button for Wanted: Weapons of Fate on the PS3. Does absolutely nothing. I've died so many times because I'll be running up to some guy with intent to knife him in the face, the "press circle to fuck this guy over" icon will appear, and then the guy will shoot me in the balls and kill me because I was wailing on the square button the whole time. Seriously, who designs a game in which one button has absolutely no function? They could have at least let you use the knife with the square button and saved me some embarassing deaths.

Mouse Button 1 in just about every FPS I've ever played. There's just no need for it.

 

[stonethered]

the c up button in oacarina of time.
why not just call it the 'navi shut up already' button it's all it was ever used for.

 

[Sallix]

Taunt in CSS! the option to enable it is there but it does nothing.

 

[T3hJim]

The on button for the wii. I mean why? It turns something on that noone in their right mind would want to use.

 

[Gebi10000]

the "on" button on the CDi

Yeah but that's what made it useful---it ended the ceaseless nagging! I could use a "shut up already button" in life...

Why do people keep saying the right and left stick click buttons on consoles, any good game has those as melee/sprint/crouch.

 

[avelmen1889]

Probably any button in a fighting game that taunts, I'll taunt the guy once I've killed him.

the only usefull time was in war of the monsters you go into super saian or what ever where your hands glow orange and silver and you are invincible.

The windows key. Nobody uses that. And if you do, shut up, no you don't. Click the start button like everyone else.

Being a software developer, I use the Windows key all the time...

Windows + L = Lock your workstation...
Windows + D = show desktop...
Windows + E = Open new explorer window...

Just because you can't figure it out doesn't mean that other people shouldn't

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

The D-pad actions on Skate 2.
Seriously?! I always forget about them!

 

[drakenabarion]

The analogue stick buttons dont seem to have any use. Many people dont even notice that there is a button there!

I remember on GTA3 on the PS2 on the mission you had to honk to get the prostitute to get into your car, it said 'press L3' I thought the game had gone bonkers!

It was used in Summoner 2, which originally made me think the same. I thought they mislabeled that button and simply didn't test the game (That gam just felt untested in general)

 

[TheMushroomClub]

Turbo buttons. I never saw the point.

 

[BillNyeTheColonelGuy]

Windows button.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

The button to pick shit up in GTA4 I only used it once.

Are you kidding? I murdered people with fast food and cameras!
OT: I guess the blink button in Alone in the Dark gets the prize.

 

[A random person]

The select button in a lot of post-NES games is lightly used at best.

Also, the D-pad got largely neglected once analog sticks became common.

The taunt in Smash Bros. Nothing better than kicking someone off the stage while they do their little pose.
