Bullshit Game Moments

[CrazyGeneral]

me and my friend had a bet about who could build the biggest army in empire total war and an hour before we stopped I had a bigger army until my game crashed and my saves got corrupted, and that children was the day my keyboard impaled the neighborhood cat.

In Red Dead Redemption, I was walking through Tall Trees looking for a flower when I touched a bush and immediately fell down the hill with half my life gone. I was about to get up when a bear came out of that bush and killed me before I could run away. No warning, no mercy.

I've had my fair share of frustrating instances in games but i have never had a burning anger in my heart over one, nor the desire to curse the game maker or throw a controller. I don't get what compels people to do this, i mean I'm no pacifist by any means and I'm definitely not one of those "let your mind be at peace" people.

i just don't get it.

but on topic: I remember playing the first Army 'o Two and frequently i got frustrated at how enemies would pop out, shoot your ass for a bit, then the moment you turned or peeked out to shoot them the hid behind cover, only to let their compatriots shoot you in the back in the exact same fashion.

Bullshit moment, I'll give you a bullshit moment friend. A few weeks ago my buddy held a mini gaming tournament, first game up was NHL 10, I was the third best player at that game, the top two happen to face off in the first round and I get a bi. Then the best player gets knocked off in the second round, leaving me and a guy whos never played before, I figure easy win right? NO! It goes into overtime and my DUMBFUCK ai gets a penalty for interferance! That causes me to lose the game. I WAS SO PISSED.

I guess recently it'll have to be Mass Effect 2 on Insanity. Fricken Collector Ship...give up!

I found the best way to do this level is as a soldier, and you need a good sniper rifle with lots of headshots. The problem is the big Husk like thing(name escapes me atm) once you kill those its not a problem.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I don't know why, but i always, ALWAYS miss the rpg/rocket launcher pickup, and i start the end boss and it asks you to save, so i do and you can't finish the game without the rocket launcher. had to borrow a friend's memory card just so i could see how the game ended.

How about the underwater level where you defuse the bombs on the dam in the original NES Ninja Turtles game? Screw that.quote]
Oh man that part always killed me. I could never get past that part when I was a kid. I think I did get past it ONCE, but didn't get much farther after that.

More recently my most rageful moment was in Ninja Gaiden 2. I was fighting the big lava armadillo. He is pretty damn hard. He does lost of cheap attacks that you either can't avoid or he becomes invulnerable. He does this rolling ball attack where he curls up into an ball that can't get hurt and rolls all over the place trying to crush you. Where it becomes a problem is when he keeps doing the attack over and over and over again. If he keeps doing it there is no way for me to do any damage. Anyway, after finally surviving the rollfest long enough to get damage in here and there between rolls, I kill him. Yay I beat him!...right? Uuuuh nope! He then self destructs and kills me in a huge explosion. Oh that pissed me off pretty good. At that point I was fed up enough to just quit and try again later when I've had a chance to cool off. But no, there is a problem with that plan. My last save point was before another boss fight. Yeah, that's right. This pain in the ass agrivating boss comes immediately after another boss fight. And that fight wasn't exactly a walk in the park either, so I don't want to have to beat that again to. That boss had minions that threw incendiary shurikens. Incendiary shurikens are the bane of my ninja existence. They can pierce your block and they knock you down stunning you, leaving you open to further attack. In the first ninja gaiden, the gangs of the black ninjas (who used incendiary shurikens) could often be more deadly than some of the bosses in that game. But anyway, back to the armadillo situation. So I keep trying over and over on the hardest boss fight so far, only to get the chance to try to figure out how to avoid the explosion. Do I need to quickly kill him again after he is "dead" and "disarm" the bomb so to speak? Maybe if run away from him I can get far enough away from him to survive the explosion. Running away from explosions works in the movies right? No. Well maybe I can try to make sure I get the last hit of damage on him with a ranged weapon, so that I can be as far away as I can when the explosion timer starts, to get a head start in running away. Still doesn't work. After none of these ideas work, I turn to the internet to find out what I was doing wrong. When I found out what it was, I was too worn out to get rageful angry. It was more of a "you've got to be kidding me" rolling my eyes in disgust kind of anger. So it turns out that in order to survive the massive explosion of a self destructing giant lava monster, you just need to block. *Sigh* If I hadn't already assumed from using common sense that blocking an explosion with a sword wouldn't work, the ninjas with incendiary shurikens would have trained me by now to think as such. On the other hand, I guess it is Ryu Hayabusa. And "duck and cover" works pretty well for in nuclear attack. At least I beat it in the end and was able to save my game.

On GTA 4 when you have to chase down that guy in chinatown (It's the first mission from Dwayne >.<) I can't catch him. Why can't I just jump on the guys motorbike like in The Wheelman??

 

[GloatingSwine]

Y'know what was bullshit.

In Knights of the Old Republic, at the end of the Nemesis, you meet the Chinless Wonder and by and large you fuckstomp him, he's lucky if he lasts a single combat round by this point. And then Darth Jawbone suddenly gets some funky cutscene mojo where he's paralysed you and Bastila decides that she needs to "sacrifice" her whiny ass to save everyone, because this guy who you've literally just bent over and violated with a lightsabre is some major threat who you just can't beat otherwise.

That was bullshit.

Those CENSORED in AVP that heavy attack while jumping so you cant hit them.

Thosw CENSORED sons of CENSORED, i hit them with a EXTREMELY CENSORED!!!

Those Muffins in AVP that heavy attack while jumping so you cant hit them.

Those Silly sons of theirr mothers, I hit them with a TIDDLY WANK!!!



the PC on Starcraft... A friend of mine and I were doing a 2v2 vs comps... I was zerg, he was terran, vs toss and zerg... I was planning on getting an early rush in to screw up their economy, and I'm pretty darned fast at doing so... I went in for an attack... The Toss had an army of zealots... My friend and I both typed 0.O; at the same exact time.

No clue how they did it in such a short amount of time... and For that.. I call BS!!

 

[MikailCaboose]

Monster Hunter Tri in my first fight against the Gigginox. My god I almost tossed my controller out the window!

 

[B2kCyclops]

Re-installing some old games on an old PC of mine(368SX 25, hell yeah baby!!!).
And playing them...
Sometime you should just keep fond memories as memories...
DUNE II still rocks, best RTS ever. Basta. ;-)

 

[DarkHourPrince]

Getting past Evrae in Final Fantasy X and then a friend overwrote my save file WAY BACK TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. I was.. so ticked...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Now I know that there is a DLC that supposedly tells us what happened during this 9 years, but I call it massive bullshit for selling me a book with a whole chapter ripped out of it...

Chalk up another reason why Ubisoft are a bunch of asshats. The DLCs are horrid by the way, don't bother with them.

See: The Entirity of Crash and Grab of Battlefield Bad Company on the hardest difficulty.

There were a couple of sections in that game that pissed me off on Normal too... the mortar section was very annoying and unfair, as was the part in the desert against the two choppers.

 

[Blueruler182]

In Half-life 2, during whatever level it is where you get to control all those antlions, when you have to fight the two choppers at once, with maybe one or two spots of viable cover, and an ammo supply out in the fuckin' open, far away from any cover, with these stupid fucking rockets that fly all over the place before exploding uselessly on a roof or on you, and a now completely useless horde of giant bugs. I am still stuck on this level and I hate it with a passion.

Isn't there a lighthouse at that point? I remember fighting a pair of helicopters at a lighthouse, and the lighthouse was stocked full of rocket ammo and excellent cover. Made the whole thing insanely easy. I could be mistaken though.
