Biggest "whoops" moment in gaming?

[Beffudled Sheep]

I had hoped that the rpg in Gta 4 could destroy a car speeding towards me. I was wrong.

 

[The Eaten Cake]

Going back to the Persona series...

In Persona 4, having got past the second lengthy dungeon, I was chillin' and advancing my Social Links. I got about an entire month's progress. Then, I decided to train at that dungeon and died in a fight.

I then remember that I haven't saved since I beat that boss.

Fuck.

 

[Yooz]

playing half-life 2 without the use of guns only to realize the achievement for not using guns was for episode 1

I feel for you, buddy. I did that in episode 2, got to where the Helicopter attacks you.

Getting to the top of a crane in GTAIV, firing 4 shots from a sniper rifle, taking down the perimeter guards. I went to climb down the ladder, forgot I had to push "f" to actually grab the ladder, and fell 60 feet to my death. Great fun

Choosing to become a vampire on Oblivion.
:'( QQ p_p D:
[/self]

I went from level 3 to level 40 before I realized there was a quest to get a cure for it...

There was not enough benefit of being a vampire in that game. hopefully they either throw in some benefits or throw out the idea and bring back werewolves.

i was playing fable TLC on my computer (because I've already beaten it on my Xbox both original and TLC... AND on my 360... so what the hell... lets try out the PC version...) i played for about... 4 or 5 hours having fun with the roaming mod... and then i thought there was an auto save before the execution tree quest... i was wrong... guy runs away while I'm on the other side of the map i start over... back at the arena...

Buying Mirror's Edge.

I lol'd. It's killed two of my friends already.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Any time I use Grenades on Day of Defeat.


Quite often I get the guy I'm aiming for, but invariably I take myself (and usually at least one team mate) out in the process.

It's got to be that time in C&C: Generals when I paradropped about 20 people on top of the enemy's command centre in the hopes that they could quickly capture it and make things easier for me. A truck came along and ran them all over before they could even shoot back.

I have this odd tendency to bomb myself...in ANY RTS, more often than not with the BIGGEST BOMB IN THE FUCKING GAME.

I feel your pain. Once again in Generals, my massive army was on the way to destroying the enemy base. By this stage in the game I had no money left, so it was do or die. I decided to speed up the process by dropping a Fuel Air Bomb on my enemy's command centre, and by the time the bomb was dropped, my army had broken through to the command centre. My entire army was wiped out, but the enemy still had some surviving buildings, so they were able to rebuild. Since, like I said, I had no money, I couldn't build any more troops, so all I could do was watch as my base was very gradually destroyed.

Bad times.

My Generals one isn't that bad, but there was one time where I had a large number of stealthed Pathfinders picking off enemy troops inside their own base, only to have a technical come along and squish them all (they were all lying in one big line for some reason).

Either that or one time in Far Cry where I went to shoot a TriGen only to realise that I'd failed to pick up extra ammo for any of my guns. Machetes don't work so well on mutant beasties...

In Half-Life 2, I didn't find the boat for the second act.

Nuking myself in Supreme Commander, while playing against an opponent using the same race as me.

 

[Zersy]

No matter what FPS I play, I always make the same mistake.


Throw grenade.
Grenade bounces of wall.
Grenade hits me.

I feel for you

i had that loads of times and also at the worst times

COD4 one kill away from Helicopter i see a enemy that can easily be killed by a grenade i throw the grenade then i say "Ah shit" then i die


Oh and in Crash Commando killing everyone you see with the jeep and kicking ass then you realise that it's a TDM and your Actually team killing !!!

 

[TheTygerfire]

Anytime you burn yourself or your partner during the laser puzzle in RE:5

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Any time I'm retarded enough to think I can pull off using a grenade.

Biggest 'whoops' moment in gaming?

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari?

 

[hannahdonno]

as a vampire in oblivion, i /waited an hour too long and died

Happens all the god damn time

And don't even get me started on those mudcrabs!!!

Mucrabs are one of the most disgusting animals I have ever seen. Not to mention the most pointless- one strike and they are dead. They serve to be little more than a distraction.

 

[CriticallyAcclaimed]

watching the girl team mate die in Dead Space cause i thought she was behind glass and couldnt help her...
...i may have even shot her once...

 

[Cowabungaa]

In Max Payne you had those dream or hallucination levels where you had to find your way through that blood stained maze where one wrong stept ment falling to your death. I didn't save for a while, then accidently pushed the quicksave button when I fell... Deep, deep sigh.

In Half-Life 2, I didn't find the boat for the second act.

Excuse et moi?! You walk RIGHT into the room where it is, heck you can't even go any other way and an NPC even points at the damn thing. That's just odd.

Edit: Also fucking up my first character in Oblivion. I was a stealthy archer (as usual) and went into a fortress wich I couldn't leave, I thought I could do with the arrows I had and that I wouldn't need my shitty dagger (wich I later found out, was also broken). I was wrong, I was stuck, I died when I even tried to attack a mob and I couldn't get out. So I had to start all over again, bleeh.

They can give you Swamp Fever though, which is a pain especially if your carrying alot of stuff.

One has never been alive long enough to give me a disease. The worst is when a Wraith curses you and your strength takes a huge hit. This usually lives me stood there swinging my sword wildly while they blast me from a distance.
