Kick-ass powers that game characters forgot they had

Videogame characters are lazy, forgetful, or just plain stupid. Cutscene after cutscene, they exhibit planet-shaking combat abilities and a level of indestructibility which would make God himself jealous. But as soon as you pick up the controller? The Incredible Hulk turns back into Bruce Banner and all of those showboating tricks and superhuman powers disappear into the ether.

They're constantly saving their best tricks until we've already done all the hard work for them, and even if not, then they behave inconsistently to the point of sheer idiocy. Here are the worst offenders.

God of War was the first game to actually let you be apart of these kick Arse cut scenes.

Instead of sitting back and saying, "why can I do that with my controller?" <I said that quite a bit playing those FF games>

Yeah as a gamer that list sucks. Wouldn't be to prod of that.

Paytaa1983d ago

Oh you're one of those real gamers

Literal_Cringe1983d ago

You're not much of a gamer then.

lxeasy1983d ago

Damn Nintendo Domination!

King_Noctis1983d ago

Kindda surprising actually. All games are from Nintendo.

darthv721983d ago

And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.

Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.

There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.

Paytaa1983d ago

The only other game's that cracked the Top 15 aside from Nintendo were Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo 4.

EddieNX 1983d ago (Edited 1983d ago )

Good. I adore Halo!! It's the only online shooting game for me.

The Wii was a beast! The entire top 10 selling more than 10 million units each!

FallenAngel19843106d ago

Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
