Most useless weapons in gaming

[Jaso11111]

So i ask you, in your opinion, what is the most useless weapon in gaming?
Persnaly i say the Chinese pistol from Fallout 3.

The foam hand in Dead Rising 2.

Anything other than the use of magic in Fable 3 was utterly pointless. Hold down one button and clear or decimate ten enemies at once, or spend ten minutes firing a slow reloading flintlock at wolfmen that can dodge any attack. Oh and here's a sword/axe, just because we think you'd look cool.

Since firearms are so common, I would have to say pretty much any melee weapon in Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas. Also, if anyone has played The Witcher (the first one) you will remember that there are many weapons that "don't suit witcher combat styles"...Why would you use a weapon that clearly states that it is not as effective as your default sword?

[JesterRaiin]

FatMan from Fallout 3.
It causes "save for later, never use" syndrome. :|

 

[Shadowstar38]

The crobar/wrench/any melee weapon they give me in an FPS before I actually get a gun. Whats the point?

Not if you're playing NV on hardcore, where ammo has weight. Melee weapons are fucking life savers!

 

[Revnak_v1legacy]

The dusty hammer in the paper mario games.

 

[Shane McCay]

The splash attack from the pokemon series.

END OF TOPIC.

 

[Normandyfoxtrot]

Melee weapons in like 99.98% of Fps/TPS games, look guys we all know your not going to let me run out of ammo in your rail shooter why would I use the fucking knife?

In fallout NV melee was ridiculously over powered.

Hm...you're right. You always feel bad when you use it, thinking you just wasted ammo...

I call the poke attack from Worms Armageddon, I think it took away 1 health from the enemy and just pushed him a little.

[Soviet Heavy]

This right here.

Well using a shotgun to open crates is a sign of complete reckless insanity. Also ammo. Also headcrab baseball.

Counterstrike Source : That utterly pointless and useless Mac-10

EvE Online: Snow ball launcher

I found S.T.A.L.K.E.R's Starting knife the best thing next to sliced bread, Instant stealth kills and awesome for opening much needed ammo boxes.

 

[albinoterrorist]

The AK102 in MGS4.
"Hey, take this assault rifle!"
"Awesome!"
*1 cutscene later*
"Oh, so now I get another assault rifle with far less recoil, and much more common ammo?
Then what's the point of the first you gave me?"
"uh..It-uh-It l-looks kinda cool...Sorta?"
"Then why has Snake got the M4 in all the artwork, instead of an AK?"
"..."

People are proberbly going to yell at me for this but I don't care;

The Gravity Gun.

Yes everything can be used for ammunition, yes its an impressive use of physics but I found it didn't have much of a punch unless you had a saw blade, difficult to aim and in many cases left me wide open to attack while I was trying to pick up something decent to shoot with from the piles of crap left lying around.

 

[Fishyash]

This right here.

Ninja'd already...


Klobb definately, especially since it isn't a joke weapon either.

 

[Truniron]

The Rusty Blade from Castlevania Symphony of the Night. It does next to no damage, it makes you attack slowly and can sometimes negate it´s own attack.
