Valkyrie Profile, optional dungeon, Seraphic Gate.
There's a (rare (1 in 30 chance, maybe)) encounter with a quartet of hamsters.
Yes, hamsters. They're maybe 6 pixels tall, and have hitboxes that are sized to match. Only two or three non-mages (of the 16 or so characters) can hit them at all.
They have four attacks. One does exactly 1 damage. Two have no effect (since most characters are immune to status by that point).
The fourth deals 8670 per hit for 12 hits on each party member. Ignoring armor.
That's 104,040 damage ignoring armor to a character with a maximum of 90,000 HP.
Yeah.

This definitely. I barely scraped my way out of that first battle with the Flagship, I felt great! I was practically high! And then "Wait what!? More forms> Oh SHI-" and I was blown upshrekfan246 said:
And I have one from GAl Civ II. I was going for a tech victory (as is my usual). I was in the largest galaxy available and was going up against the Arcean Empire, Drengin, Korath, Yor, Terrans and the Korx I believe.
I was doing pretty well, holding my own against the Drengin's and Korath's wars (My military tech superiority really gave me the edge I needed against their massive fleets) and helping the Arceans out with ships I could spare and money as they had lost several wars and much territory to the aforementioned war races.
As I progress further through the match and the tech tree I start to lose my farthest flung colonies to war. Nothing major, I don't even bother to send ships to defend them. The Yor were obliterated by the Korx and gave their empire to the Terrans who were invading my territory with influence star bases, taking control of some mining outposts and one unhappy colony that I had stolen from someone else. Nothing major, although I shift production on a couple of my manufacturing planets to produce a very strong fleet just in case. As I approach 150 turns away from the final tech for a tech victory (total as I was 3 techs away and producing enough science to get each tech in about 40-something to 50 turns) the Arceans got a special event called "Touched by the Arnor" or something that pretty much turned God Mode on for them. I tried to wipe them out before they could get powerful but the Terrans were allied with them and eclared war on me, as did the Korx. Now I was fighting a war against every other remaining race in the game. I started to lose planets left and right but I held the line. I kept my factory and science planets the most protected and my fleets sprang into action, destroying everything in their paths.
Time moves on and the other races besides the Arceans have been mostly subdued. I lost a good chnk of my empire but the enemies lost their entire fleets and the planets were ripe for reconquest. However the Arceans were now more influential, more productive, more scientific and richer than I was. And thanks to their race abilities they were better at war.
I lose a few planets to them but then I notice, ONE TURN TO TECH VICTORY!. I end the turn and the next one starts with a "You have finished researching Tech Victory!" Now in Gal Civ II the game doesn't end right there, it ends after you hit the end turn button for the last time.
So I did the only sensible thing to do. Before I ended my turn I gave my entire empire and military except for my homeworld and first 3 colonies and one fleet to some minor race.
So now I had a handful of planets, no military to speak of and was pretty much broke. But I was gonna win anyway right?
Haha, this is the You Got to Be Kidding Me part.
See I hit end turn and the next one starts normally. I do this a dozen more times and the game hasn't ended. I click a bunch of menus and do a lot of searching and I discover that somehow, by some random stroke of very bad luck/oversight that the Tech Victory was somehow disabled.
Yep. All that time (a couple days actually) for nothing. All of that effort for nothing.
I went "You're fucking me..." and kinda gave up on gaming for a few days afterwards.

Oh wow. That would suck.
I'm currently about 465 turns into my first real meaty game right now, I've built up a bunch of planets on my side of the galaxy (one step down from the largest size it can get) and I'm staying pretty isolationist from the other major races (I've got the Drengin expanding right along the south border of my territory though) and I'm currently building up a massive fleet while I've got two Ascension starbases working their asses off, giving me something like 245 more turns left until I get an Ascension victory. XD
465 turns and I still haven't engaged in a fleet-to-fleet combat encounter yet, though... talk about some slow pacing!
X-Com
Just....bloody X-com. Flank shot with 98% to hit, and my assualt fluffs it with his shotgun, leaving nought but a pretty buckshot pattern on the walls of the UFO. Then, as if to add insult to injury, a rookie one shots the Outsider right after
So a untested rookie completely upstaged one of my best troopers

I'm pretty sure the only Big Daddy that does thatAlfador_VII said:I was wondering this too. Long time since I've played Bioshock 1, but I don't remember any of the Big Daddies aggroing on sight, well unless you touched their Little Sister, or looked at her funnyscorptatious said:
is the one RIGHT before the final boss.
During the chapter of Dead Space 2 where you pass through the Ishimura, when I got to the area where you first meet the Hunter in the first game, all I could think was "Ugh, good thing I don't have to fight that thing again."
It was unpleasant. Awesome, but unpleasant.

I got bored and started, for lack of a better word and what I refer to it as, nine-elevening targets in Just Cause 2. This is where I aim a jet at a target, like a silo, then get out and stand on the wing of the plane and surf it in to the silo, maybe jump off at the last minute if I don't want to die.
One time right before collision, a helicopter blocked my trajectory, saving the silo but killing the chopper.

EVERY.
FUCKING.
TIME.
That Ezio/Altair would end up hurling himself to his death because the thumbstick was pressed 0.000001 degree to the wrong direction or I held the right trigger for just 0.00000000001 seconds too long.

For me the most memorable moment would be from Doom 2. After a crazy level of shooting my way through a maze full of various Doom baddies including tons of Cacodemons, leaving me stressed out, and my toon nearly out of ammo and health, the walls all slide into the ground revealing an army of pissed off Arachnotrons. For me it was a big "Oh yeah!? Well fuck you too game!!!" moment.
I literally did that one mission where you have to shoot down a satellite over 20 times because I was trying to get a screenshot of destroying the satellite with my jet (meaning I jump out of the jet, rotate the camera around and capture the precise moment that the jet collides with the satellite).AT God said:

Almost everything that happens in Dark Souls.
'A whole fu**ing PASTURE of Taurus Demons IN magma?! Are you kidding me?!'
or
'A whole fu**ing PASTURE of Giant Undead Dragon legs IN magma?! Are you joshing me?!'
Or
'A whole fu**ing..... whatever that is, centipede thing... no seriously what the hell is that- IN magma?!'

Basically dead space 3 ate my game saves after i installed DLC, so i had to play that DLC with some crappy gear that the game gave me, i did make one weapon which was enough to plow though the hordes of mobs, but once i had to shoot some glowy marker it turns out that both my weapons are too slow/weak to destroy it before it stops being vulnerable and repairs itself, therefore i couldnt pass that point, i hit alt + F4, watched the ending on youtube and was glad that i didn't bother to even try something.
When I found out that I have to purchase an Apple device to make the most out of Injustice.
But in all seriousness.. Probably AC:3 the new controls took a while to get used to for me and on more than one occassion I ended up on a fence post trying to jump in the hay to hide and he was like "Na, I'm good" and got spotted. So annoying!

You can get lots of arrowheads with the Dowsing Rod. Just point it around in first person view until it goes purple, go in that direction and then mash the use key once you get close enough.saintdane05 said:
Realizing there was a pattern for the final boss of Final Fantasy 4. I reveal his true form and get ready for the fight, only for him to immediately launch a hit-all death beam that instantly kills probably 3 of my party, then finishes me with a physical hit while I'm scrambling for Cure 3. It took me about 3 tries before I found out I had to ready cure BEFORE he attacked first.
Also, I had read it in a manual, but an optional dungeon in Final Fantasy 8 (the one where you find Bahamut and later Ultimate Weapon) has forced enemy encounters, one of which starts with you getting back-attacked. Given the enemy's special move is powerful to begin with and back-attacks cause more damage, him using it is essentially insta-kill: it's completely random what he starts with, but there is about a 50% chance that the game will simply say "screw you" and kill you outright and there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.
Also also, Tales of Destiny has a bonus dungeon structured like the company's previous title, Tower of Druaga, where objectives and exits for each level require you to do certain things that are never hinted at. If you don't use GameFaqs, the entire thing is almost impossible, especially since you also have to get three hidden objects throughout the dungeon just to even see the boss.

Playing Bioshock on Hard Mode with no Vita Chambers
Hoping to do a no-deaths run
Get to Second Chapter, introduces Rosie Big Daddies with Rivet Guns
Take my time, I'll come back for that later
Fire an electro bolt
Misses turret, hits Big Daddy
Spaghetti falls out of pockets
I actually did crawl out of that fight with no health kits and little ammo, and defeated Peach Wilkins, the second chapter boss, only to be shot dead by one of his mooks. WHYYYYY
