FatMan from Fallout 3.
It causes "save for later, never use" syndrome. :|
I wouldn't call it "useless", Mini Nukes sell for like 200 caps a pieace, AND their weightless. Pretty good to keep around on a rainy day

Anything in God of War that wasn't the swords on chains. If the game hadn't physically forced me to use the other alternatives they'd have been gathering dust in, errrr, where the hell does Kratos keep this shit?
really in the first game once i got the blade of athena i never used the blades of chaos again.

If anyone here's ever played it, turrets in Galaxy on Fire 2 are almost never actually useful. If the enemy is weak enough that you can deal with it using the turret, it's much faster to just turn around and fight, even if you're headed to a warp gate or something. Low level mining drills too, but those aren't weapons.
I would have strongly disagree. The auto turrets own. Get an auto turret on the bigass hauler and it can hold its own against most pirate gangs. 4 black holes the voosk armor and good shields and the invul shield for those times you have to use a hail Mary (big nuke).

Mainly because it was a legitimate weapon that was everywhere, but good for absolutely nothing but levelling/smithing.

On a similar note, Your Eternal Reward. You can't disguise and decloaking is painfully slow, so you're reduced to using good 'ol fashioned stealth to avoid enemies until you backstab one. And when you do, they just tell their friends over voice chat.
YER can be fantastic against pubs with poor communication. You can absolutely destroy with it if you play on the right maps, know where the ammo boxes are and are against a bad team. Against any mildly good team with communication, it's useless though.

OT: If you could count the dalahkos bar or however it's spelled, a weapon, then I'd say that. If not, bonesaw compared to anything else, the syringe gun or the razorback.

the fork of horripilation from Morrowind. It is completely useless.
Wasn't that the weapon the Prince of Madness gives you to kill some beastie with it? After the quest he gives you a magic spear or something. And you could cheat by whittling down the health of the monster with a different weapon then delivering the fatal blow with the fork

Dark Souls' broken straight sword. You'd be quicker using your fists, really.
well thats not useless its used to craft the pure astoras straight sword.
OT: any BFG like weapon because most of the time you're going to be saving the ammo untill the end credits and sometimes it killes you if you fire it in the wrong spot.

Dark Souls: Sword Hilt/Broken Straightsword

It's actually used to craft the True Greatsword of Artorias. And actually, it's the Sword Hilt that crafts the True Greatsword of Artorias. The Broken Straightsword will give you a cursed version. Nice try, though.

Bioshock had the chemical thrower which literally added nothing to the game. Everything it did could be done with plasmids instead.

The AR in Halo 1 was beyond bad though, I would rather melee with an empty pistol than pick up an AR.

Lastly, staffs or spears in Morrowind. I never used them, it wasn't worth the training, especially when swords and/or axes were more common, faster, and did more damage.

EDIT: Oh my crap I just remembered the Lead Bubble from Mega Man 2, disregard everything I said, that is the most useless weapon ever.

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.
Slow reloading flint lock? That thing was fast as a bolt actions. Melee sucks but ranged is fun as hell.

That's actually it's biggest advantage. You always have the chemical thrower, instead of using a slot for a plasmid you may not use very often (like incinerate). Also, electric gel, once the thrower is ugraded, stunlocks big daddies straight to death.

The weakness of the final boss is bubble lead.

The Machine Pistol in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Pros:
More ammo to a mag
Slightly faster reload

Cons:
Weaker than Combat Rifle
Alerts guards all the same
May as well just use the 10MM Pistol
Annoying reload sounds
Lame reload animation compared to the Combat Rifle
