What the f*** were they thinking?

[Emphasis]

I was playing Just Cause 2 today and came upon the part where the ninjas are introduced. Yes, ninjas, with swords.. in a shooting game. Dont worry, they soon pulled out their guns and I realised the swords were just asthetic.. But really.. Ninjas?!?
So I ask you: What gaming moment made you think "What the f*** were they thinking?"

And incase your wondering, the letters blocked out by stars are 'lob'

I'm still questioning what they were thinking when they chose to exclude Co-op from Killzone 2.
The game was practically made for the concept![footnote]After all, you almost always have a buddy with you.[/footnote] I understand that it had issues running (if I recall that interview correctly) but the lack of co-op, which seemed like a tailor-made concept for it, was just an outright blow to the face.

You mean as opposed to 100 year old Japanese soldiers with the huge EMP towers of death? And your worried about the ninjas when this shits going on?

Btw, I like the AVGN reference there

Getting rid of co-op for Resistance 2 (I don't class that POS multiplayer as co-op).
Not having co-op in that second Call of Juarez.
Gears of War not having 4 player coop despite you being a 4 man team and having a co-op mode in the came.

Co-op!

The end of Fallout 3, if you got there you know what I mean.

Oh and how about releasing Fairytale Fights, who was the target audience for that game again. It's a bloody hack and slaher with fairytale characters. Ok so there people who like fairytales, and people who like blood and guts, the people that like both are called serial killers.

No SC2 lan... or have they changed that?

BEGONE SPAWN OF EVIL!​

Seriously, that game was... just awful. What in the hell were they thinking?!

Setting the last few levels of Mirrors edge in confining corridors and air-ducts.

The 7 samurai game, placing the hardest boss fight on the wrong side of a place to recover health and stock up on items directly after a mini boss fight sucked.

FEAR 2: Nothing from either game gets resolved and they introduce more 'plot mysteries' for FEAR 3.

It would not surprise me if FEAR 3, 4, and 10, were to end with the antagonist's hand rising out of whatever acid pit they were thrown into.

Uh... I hope you realise that game's story is being played for laughs.

When i logged on to TF2 for the first time and thought. WTF who would make such a terrible game

Not enough grenades for your liking, perchance? Maybe it was too team-based for your liking.

For me though, GTA 4's clunky movement and over-powered auto-aim was the "what were they thinking" I will always remember.
I actually completed GTA 4 using the same pistol Little Jacob gave me at the start, maybe one or two instances of a sniper rifle, but other than that.
