What do you guys think are the most broken weapon, characters, items, special attacks, moves in video games? I'll start off with one that I think is very broken:

Snake - Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

Oh wow...either nintendo forgot how to balance characters or they are the biggest Solid Snake fanboys in the history of the world. Snake in SSBB makes the original Super Smash Bros. Ness look like a joke. Snake has more power in his regular A combos than some people have in their smach attacks! This guy is so broken its insane. Sure some people claim you need skills to lay mines and c4 and use the mortar...yeah what ever. You can just noob it up and F-Tilt everyone to death. This guys is beyond godly in the game and needs an urgent fix :x

old school for me. the most overpowered, broken character in any game was Bo Jackson on the NES version of Tecmo Bowl. you could give him the ball EVERY TIME, and he could run it in for a touch down. we even had a "No Bo Jackson" rule with all my friends growing up in my neighborhood.

MGO: Porn Magazine. That thing is OP. You go up to a sniping spot, you place the magazine next to the ladder, and anyone who comes up the ladder automatically starts reading it and you get a free kill...OP

Halo CE: The pistol. OMFG...that thing was so dirty. Its like a sniper rifle without the suicidal trail. So many kills I have gotten with that gun.

Resistance 2: Snake Eyes. This thing is cheap. 1 shot kill and its got a blast radius that would make your mother cry. The cheapest thing is you can run into someone with this berserk and you arent high level enough to have it, it becomes amazingly cheap.

Cheap cheap cheap CHEAP. Especially with the red-dot mount. All that's needed is to group this gun with the red-dot mount, and the stopping power perk, and you literally can drop anyone with a single burst. You can nail that sniper from the other side of the map, then immediately whip around and spam the 3-round burst from the hip at the shotgun-toting flanker three feet behind you and STILL win. This damned thing is a sniper rifle/assault rifle/submachine gun combo with absolutely no recoil whatsoever. M-16 users, you can play the "there are no noob weapons, only noob players" card all you want, but this gun is cheap, and you know it.

Oh yeah, the N-Bomb in Perfect Dark 64. No not, the racial slur, the weapon :P It would make your entire screen hazy and make you drop all your weapons. And to add insult to injury, it would give you a headache :x

Mana Shield on Fable, you can go through the whole game as long as you have a steady supply of mana potions, and you never need to block again.

I don't know, a weapon that shoots 1-hit kill magnums with an insanely high velocity, along with perfect accuracy, tends to be a bit powerful in most situations.

In real life shotguns have better range than in games, sniper rifles are very powerful (even accounting for video game characters being unrealistically tough), and assault rifles are just absolutely incredible weapons. Most games will balance the weapons to add variety, but making some weapons better than others adds to realism, and any gun that's is worth it's weight in lead will still have a use somewhere. In MGS4 for instance your assault rifle is your bread and butter (if your playing non-stealthily), but pretty much everything except unsilenced handguns and submachine guns have use, which is realitic.

As for a character Orlandu from FF Tactics comes to mind. When you get him the game suddenly becomes very easy.

A tonne of RPGs have stuff that's much better than you would expect for a balanced game, but usually the difficulty is such that you are expected to equip characters/set abilities/etc. in an intelligent fashion.

Halo 3 easily.

It's sad because Halo CE and 2 actually took skill and required you to aim, in Halo 3 you don't have to.

Forget Snake, The Boss is over powered. Taking apart guns with one had. Then firing a patriot with one hand while deflecting bullets with a knife. Then on top of that the cqc....:shivers with fear:

I'm not sure you understood what the topic was about, and I'm not sure that would have made sense were it relavent.

Anyway, in mass effect there's a biotic called singularity, that sucks everyone in a room to one spot. So just use that, and grenade the spot, and congrats on clearing a whole room of people.

Power Armor in Fallout 3. It should make you a walking tank, but you can still get killed while wearing it.

You want the game to be that easy? Or that hard? Either you can never die, or your adversaries with power armor can never die. Take your pick.

The ray gun is brawl is pretty bad, get someone with it and then continue spaming them with it until they are knocked off the screen. I hate it so much you bloody move or do anything once caught in it, it sucks so much.

Paintbrushes from Oblivion! Not sure if they've been fixed or not yet as i haven't gotten the patch for it on 360. But really, it's an item with no physics to it, meaning you can build staircases from it just floating in the air :)

To the TC: Actually Metaknight is better than him now. With infinite dimensional cape, lag free aerials, and a killer down smash. Go check out the Brawl boards, some people are actually saying Metaknight is God Tier and should be banned.

From Perfect Dark, the Farsight. Guaranteed one-hit-kill sniper rifle that can not only shoot and see through walls, but finds your enemies for you when you use the scope (in its secondary mode).
