15 Video Games Almost Ruined By Plot Holes

It’s tough to write a good game. There’s a lot to handle: dozens of characters, a world to build, moral choices and branching paths to consider, much of which takes place over dozens and dozens of hours of gameplay. It’s amazing that as many well-written games exist at all, but that’s no reason not to list some of the most egregious, frustrating, lazy, and just plain dumb oversights and plotholes in modern gaming. What does that mean? It means that God of War, Call of Duty, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and yes, of course, Mass Effect, are all due for a reckoning. If Kratos can time travel why doesn’t he save his family? Why doesn’t Mr. Mime use Recycle to create a bountiful utopia free of need or destitution? How come every lauded hero in World of Warcraft starts their career in the “freelance mass murdered and pig rib collector” sector of the Azerothian economy. Actually, while we’re at it: Why does Isle Delfino’s legal system blow the Mushroom Kingdom’s out of the water?
Don’t get me wrong, I love a lot of these games... but seriously, it’s worth going back and reviewing the most hare-brained head-scratching story flubs and general oversights made during the creation of some of Video Gaming’s greatest achievements. Oh, and in case you’re wondering: Aerith should be alive.
