Top 5 Ridiculous Video Game Weapons

July 27, 2010 in Blog comments 7

These were the apocalyptic weapons that tilted the scales far in your favor and made you a video game God. But, they were also a bit ridiculous and sometimes made you wonder who came up with the idea....

5. Final Fantasy VIII - The Gun Blade

This weapon made the list because it is likely the most impractical weapon ever created in a video game. It was harder to use than a simple sword and, despite what you might think, didn’t actually fire any projectiles. Instead, pulling the trigger would send a powerful vibration through the blade that would deal extra damage to your enemies. This brings two questions to mind. First, why wouldn’t you want this extra damage? Why not set up the blade to always give out this extra damage. Just affix a button to the regular grip and you’re all set. Second, why wasn’t it a gun? Wouldn’t this be a far more useful weapon? The gun blade made an appearance in several Final Fantasy games but first appeared in the hands of Squall in Final Fantasy VIII.

    When I read the "BFG 9000" I thought they were either really cheap with names and naming their weapons everythin 9000, or they like Roald Dahl. I personally think it's a combination of both.

    How come the Durga's from Bayonetta aren't on that list?

    They are the most ridiculous weapon ever created in a game. They have weak hits and are good for nothing. They also look ugly.

    Who ever came up with them needs there head read.

    Not a single Ratchet and Clank weapon... though pretty much all of those guns could be considered ridiculous, so maybe that's the reason.
