Most Useless Power in a game?

You know what's not fun? Accidentally activating it at the top of a steep cliff, and as a result falling down into a pit that is almost impossible to drive out of.Cabamacadaf said:It's fun to use though.Internet Kraken said:
Seriously, whomever designed the terrain in that game needs to be punched.
Every power in BioShock has the potential to be totally useless, depending on your strategy. Since I favor more of a run-and-gun method, the powers of Lighting, Ice, and Fire were of great help to me, while I literally only used Telekenesis that one time you have to to clear the crap that's blocking the door. Similar for powers like Enrage, Security Bullseye, and Cyclone Trap.
Of course, if your battle strategy differs from mine, you may have found the above powers life saving. Like I said, it's all in your strategy.

You can use them to jump over incoming rockets you know............Internet Kraken said:
On topic: The ability for Mages to summon a familiar in Baldur's Gate 2 only for it to be killed by the first fireball spell that hits your party and you permanently lose hit points.
That's completely unnecessary. Rockets can be easily avoided by simply moving out of the way.Leftnt Sharpe said:

Non-attacking moves in Pokemon can so much as Double or Halve the amount of damage you deal or receive, respectfully. With good timing, a single Sword Dance will allow a Pokemon to kill 5-6 mons singlehandedly, even if it doesn't have an elemental advantage.
Splash is useless though...
Actually, magic is almost always stronger than physical attacks in KH2. The only one that is worthless is fire/ra/aga because it doesn't stunlock like reflect, but even then, it's godly in Master Form. Just test it out.Melancholy_Ocelot said:
Traveler and Numerology in FFXII. they were just too situational to be worth their high damage potential.
I actually use That Ability to Determine the Value of a game......phoenix352 said:

Most instant kill moves, sure they kill enemies in one hit, but how often do they actually work?
The hammer, claw, and musclemass in Prototype. Once you got the sword and the whip, there wasn't really a point to use anything else.
How about the destroy armor spell in Oblivion? I can see the uses for destroy weapon, but armor?
death spells in any rpgs. 99/100 times they don't work, if they do work you don't get any experience or items usually, and they can never be used practically like, kill that giant dragon. also when enemies use death spells against you THEY ALWAYS FUCKING WORK AND I HAVE TO RAGEQUIT OR PUT A FOOT THROUGH MY TELEVISION!
Tentacle from Prototype, it had range and area but it was faster to punch them to death without musclemass or hammerfist. I only used it for jacking copters
Vision modes from Prototype, I don't get the point
Eagle Vision from Assassin's Creed, I dare you to find a use for it
Grenades from FPSs, I just can't throw, no fault of the game

Anyone that says status magic and death spells are useless in FF has probably never embraced the path of the blue mage. Seriously in FF8 Quistis is easily one of the top 2 damage dealers in the game. In FF5 you could lv5doom a couple bosses or use lv3flare lv2old lv4quarter etc them. Mighty guard, reraise, and the ultimate spell...Matra Magic. Swapping HP with MP on your enemies is always fun.
Sadly there is one blue magic skill in particular that is so utterly useless, that even on the rare occausion you use it correctly it still doesn't do much of anything:
Goblin Punch

I'm with you on the claws and hammerfists, but why all the hate on musclemass. It's awesome! Coupled with enough combos and fighting moves it's way better than blade for dealing heavy damage to a few strong enemies. Those super soldiers go down like flies!L3m0n_L1m3 said:
