We all like completing a game 100% – not only for the sense of accomplishment we feel, but the fact that we also receive cool unlocks along the way.<\/p>\n

Some games, though, give us rewards that are – frankly – a load of steamy poo.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the worst video game unlocks gamers have had the misfortune of receiving.<\/p>\n

Super Mario Bros. – 1 Million Coins Start Screen<\/h3>\n

The most recent Nintendo 3DS release of Super Mario was all about coins. You would collect thousands of them during the game with the ultimate goal of collecting one million.<\/p>\n

Once you finally collect one million, you unlock an alternative start screen.<\/p>\n

That’s it, an alternative start screen for months of work. Thanks, Nintendo.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/a>

All them coins<\/p><\/div>\n

Concept Art – every game ever<\/h3>\n

Most games include the ability to unlock concept art, which shows you what the game looked like in its early stages.<\/p>\n

How about you put all those pictures together and bundle it with the game, that would be better.<\/p>\n

Don’t, however, make me perform ridiculous tasks so I can look at a picture of something which is, frankly, quite useless.<\/p>\n

\"Concept<\/a>

Concept Art<\/p><\/div>\n

Soundtracks \u2013 every game ever<\/h3>\n

Another pointless unlockable “prize” are game soundtracks.<\/p>\n

Yes, it is nice to listen to the music of a game on command, but it is still in-game (sort of) and it’s not like we can’t listen to it while actually playing the game.<\/p>\n

The only way this would work is if developers gave me the game’s tunes in MP3 format – that would be worth a few extra hours of effort.<\/p>\n
