Most useless weapons in gaming

[lordlillen]

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

its used for crafting the pure astoras straight sword.

Dark Souls: Sword Hilt/Broken Straightsword

its used for crafting the pure astoras straight sword.

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.

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

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.

Titans in EvE online. . . I hear they are pretty useless if you can even complete one.

 

[Cranky]

Halo 1's AR is a toy that make sounds.

 

[Triforceformer]

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

Starting shotty for Brick in Borderlands. I see no point in a shotgun that does half the damage of a melee attack.

 

[Metal_Head]

All guns in MW2 since almost every time I played I got killed by Commando/Tac Knife users

 

[piinyouri]

Cerebral Bore from Turok 2.
Totally useless, but oh my was it fun.
