I tried this as well thinking I was being smart. then it's like lol nope you die now, I was so shocked at the cheap trick it pulled I couldn't even manage my ship properly anymore. I'm going to try leaving 1 guy alive in the weakest gun. Then use boarders to destroy it's subsystems.DoPo said:Rebel Trollshipshrekfan246 said:
I found it's easier if you take out the main guns first. Helps if you've got a teleporter to put send in a couple of guys (or maybe 1, if it's Mantis or Rock) - they can kill the crew memeber and then take out the gun. The torpedoes are the most damaging ones, so that should be your main target. Also, after the first round, a part of the ship falls off, I believe it's the right one - so you don't need to worry about those two guns, too much.
It's still a matter of luck, mind you, but this should tip things in your favour.
Well, I did. or rather my ship did. I was like "Yaay, it's mine now" and then the game was like "Nope!" *a bajillion drones come out* "Problem?"Mooghens said:
Yeah, it sucked. Still a fun game, though =)
Pretty much everytime I go back and watch a replay of my most recent games on SC2 I lost to see where I went wrong and finding out the times I've given up when I was heading for a win
"Those 4 siege tanks and handful of marines were all he had and I was a base ahead! oh come on!!!" I'm my own worst enemy in that game

Nah, just clear out the guns - if they don't shoot, it's better for you. The torpedies are the deadliest, then it's up to what you think threatens you the most - I usually go for the phasers, since the laser could be stopped by a shield and the EMP (forgot how it was actually called) is not a big enough threat, as it doesn't damage anything - I try to minimise the damage, so I can survive. After you take out at least one gun, you can try taking out the crew - being able to destroy the shields is going to make the fight much easier. Erm, if you can pull it off, of course.niknar266 said:I tried this as well thinking I was being smart. then it's like lol nope you die now, I was so shocked at the cheap trick it pulled I couldn't even manage my ship properly anymore.

Happened to me about 5 minutes ago on Binding of Isaac. Was so close to finishing, and was just clearing the last floor. I killed everything in the room, and then accidentally stepped on something that the game deemed 'unsafe', killing me instantly. Quite often with melee weapons in TF2.

Minecraft.
In my main world, I've long since defeated the Ender Dragon and more recently made a very effective skeleton farm (seriously, I've got a whole double chest filled with little else but various enchanted bows). So around a week ago, I decided to seriously devote my efforts to gathering three Wither Skeleton skulls so I could finally summon and kill a Wither. So I suit up with all of my best stuff - including three eight-minute fire resistance potions, probably eight or more enhanced instant health potions, and three buckets of milk to protect against withering away - and head down for an extended trip to the Nether.
Over half an hour later, I've fought maybe half a dozen Wither Skeletons, and gotten no skulls (but a full inventory nevertheless, much of which - a Ghast tear in particular - I knew would come in useful). I've only got around forty seconds left before the effects of my last fire resistance potion wear off, so I decide to head back to the Nether Portal. I can't remember what happened next - whether an enemy ambushed me or I just misstepped - but all the sudden, I'm taking the long plunge into the lava lake below. [Title drop.]
No, wait, I can still pull out of this! I tell myself. I'm right next to a wall! I just have to mine fast enough! So I hurriedly switch to my pick and start whacking away at the wall... except I'm bobbing up and down in the lava too much, and thus I can't keep looking at the blocks I'm trying to mine long enough for them to finish breaking (playing with a mouse instead of a trackpad probably would have helped...). Sure enough, the effects of the fire resistance potion wear off entirely too quickly, and the health I regained from drinking the two health potions that happened to be in my hotbar was directly offset by the fire damage I took in the time it took to drink them. So now I'm stuck with Protection I armor, an iron sword as opposed to a diamond one, and a bow without the Flame, Infinity, and Unbreaking enchantments I loaded up my old one with.

How did you piss off so many Big Daddies so quickly? XDIGetNoSlack said:
OT: Probably during one section at Viper Manor in Chrono Cross which had like three boss fights in a row, without any save point in between. By the time I beat that one cyborg guy, I thought I could get a break as he did put up quite a fight. But then this guy in a robot suit comes in and I thought: You gotta be kidding me...
After beating him, and realizing he wasn't dead, my party and I ran to the library where we fought him AGAIN. I thought: "What the hell game? Can't I rest at a save point first??"
Thankfully I was able to get through it all. But man was it nerve wracking.
It's even worse. When that happens, not only does the ship continue to function, but it can freely repair any room without a crewman in it.Mooghens said:
Fire emblem awakening. There's a bonus level where you fight alternate versions of whatever team you select for that fight. They have the same skills, level, class, and stats as your guys. This became a huge problem considering that my guys were so dangerously overpowered that their doppelgangers were oneshotting my guys. It didn't help that three of them had lethality.
So I thought I'd be clever and limit my roster. I'd pick four of my absolute best people, pair them for the stat bonuses, and hope that would be enough to overpower my four doppelgangers. Cue me starting up the battle and noticing that the enemy team still has way more guys than I do. Puzzled I scan over them and find out that in order to get a full team the AI just duplicated my four guys four times over to get the full team of twelve. So four chroms, four lissas, etc.
So not only was I still outmatched but I'd outnumbered myself too. Cue facepalming and going "Oh you have to be kidding me." Couldn't hit reset fast enough.

Really late to that party, just bought it a week ago.
The immense fluidity of the movement is satisfying like nothing else I've played. It's like what The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction should've been.
But holy crap does all the fun go out the window when you fight a boss. Out of all your cool powers, the only viable strategy is to run like a huge babby and throw whatever garbage you can find in the arena.
And every time this happens, the pace goes from balls-to-the-wall fast (where it really shines) to frustratingly slow and methodical in a game that is built for the exact opposite.
In particular, the third boss is a perfect example of how not to make a boss battle. Literally every single thing about that boss is terrible.

Dark Souls,
Was fighting the Bell Gargoyle and went through a couple healing potions figuring out the bosses attacks. Was thinking that it wasn't gonna be so bad as long as I was careful. Then all of a sudden a second boss health bar appears and a second gargoyle runs up behind me and lights me on fire.
"Goddammit..."

Well, there was that part at the end of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance when...
That was fun.
[sub]Raiden even says those very words, OP. Right on the money.[/sub]
Senator Armstrong absorbs what remained of the energy that was in the broken husk of Metal Gear Excelsus into his own body and then proceeds to pound the shit out of you with his bare hands, breaking your sword in a cutscene. Oh, and let's not forget that he can cause volcanic eruptions with his fists for some reason.
That was fun.

Ultimate Ghost 'N Goblins occasionally evoked this reaction from me. For all of its brutal difficulty, it's usually fair. Usually. Enemies can spawn in very inconvenient places at times.
Also,the first Story Mode mission in F-Zero GX. In this mission, you have to collect a number of capsules within a time limit and three laps. I breezed through it on Normal, than attempted it again on Hard. Hard certainly lives up to its name. I was almost always a few capsules short by the time the clock ran out, but there was one time I actually got all 30 of them... and still failed the mission because you have to also cross the finish line before time's up. Realize that just getting those things in three laps is near impossible. Cue thread title.

Wait, why'd you even choose to fight five Big Daddies in the first place? Fort Frolic only has three Little Sisters.IGetNoSlack said:
Dark Souls.
Not only was the boss area the most terrifying place to fight anyone, but the music just screamed "You're going die down here"
I thought it was only gonna be one! Then all of the sudden I'm out of flasks, I'm fighting this boss that never staggers and hits you like a truck, then I get one shot for no reason...
I then discovered as I was dying I twisted the camera around and saw that THERE WERE 3 OF THEM, and they spawned wile I was so concerned with one.
... for real though, I HATE The Four Kings...
