What Game Features Make You Wonder, 'Why Do They Even Exist?'

-

I’m curious about the game features or mechanics that leave you scratching your head in confusion. For example, paying for DLC cosmetic items in a single-player game feels strange. I get it for multiplayer, but single-player? It’s like spending real money just for NPCs to admire my fancy gear. What bizarre game features have made you ask, ‘Why does this even exist?’

One thing that irks me is the hidden “Easy mode” and “Challenge mode” in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, which can only be unlocked after you beat the game… and then you need to send the unlockables wirelessly to someone else? Plus, the Easy mode actually makes battles harder in terms of leveling up and overall challenge. It just feels pointless and overly complicated for a single-player experience.

Gen 5 had its quirks! The Challenge mode is bizarre, and the restrictions just made it harder to enjoy the games at times.
