Okay, this is not like those two threads that are basically the same about funny kills or deaths. It can be funny, but it doesn't have to be. This is about parts or levels of games that just piss you off, or some time when it just didn't go your way. Maybe you accidentally stirred up a shit storm just when you didn't need it, or maybe a level, boss, or even a multiplayer deathmatch or something in a game that despite your best efforts just kicks your ass. Any time you've had bad luck, or a game just pissed you off to no end. Maybe you're playing and you've just - almost - got it- and then bam! dead, just before you manage to succeed.

Here's one of mine: I was playing KOTOR and I was in the sith facility on that watery planet (the one with the firaxan sharks). Not the one that was under the water, but the Sith headquarters on that planet. Anyways, it was that one room full of Sith troopers with a couple Dark Jedi and a Sith captain. I tell ya, that one just kept on gettin me. The thing is, I had played through KOTOR before and until this time had not had any trouble with this part. I kept getting stuck in Force Whirlwind by one of the Dark Jedi, while everyone else shot me or killed my party members. I broke the controller I was using, I threw it so many times. I propbably died more than six times in that room alone.

In Metroid Prime Hunters, that Morphball part with the lava and the pistons that One-hit-KO you.

Those who've played know what I'm talking about.

COD4 i spent ages and ages on this one bit on the countdown mission, the second checkpoint. where you go down a flight of stairs and i branches out left right and straight ahead. i could NOT get past those fuckers. finally managed it after much anger and hatred. then later at my friends, after i big up this stupidly difficult section, and then absolutely walked it. i was so annoyed.

In any DKC game when you'd see that life-affirming red arrow, only to be killed by the last mega-obstacle. I swear Rare's design team for those games was made of mostly evil geniuses.

I hear ya... I usually just stab them when that happens...

In CS:S it happens a lot in the gungame server I regularly play that shots don't register properly... admittedly this is rather aggravating as you sort of expect people to die when you shoot them twice in the face with a shotgun... You don't really expect them to just stand there and kill you while you look baffled at the screen going "...the fuck?".

Lag in JKA can also go fuck itself with the whole "refusing to register hits" bs. But admittedly that's mostly my fault for playing in a US server when I'm European...

Another thing that pisses me off to no end is Jinpaichi in Tekken5 (i.e: Grandfather of all cheap things). He has these couple extremely cheap and annoying moves that can turn the tide of the game in a second regardless of how well you play, namely his AoE-super-fast-stun that can basically cause him to stun you for about 10 seconds regardless of whether or you're standing, crouching, jumping or lying prone, and consequently mangle you, faster than you can throw a simple punch or kick.

Once I was playing Everquest II trying to finish a writ, It took a while (like 10 minutes) to get to the place where I was meant to kill these huntresses. I accidentally hit one of my hotkeys that teleports me to the port ;__;
Also, Knights of Cydonia, on hard in GH III. I took forever for me to finish that song, then my friend comes and finishes it in one try. I hated him for that.
Also the final boss battle in GoW II. I gave up on it and never finished the game.

I was playing Diablo II once, and was on the way to face big Di himself. I'm outside his sanctum and not paying attention cause I thought I had killed everything. All of a sudden, five abyss lords shoot their holy-shit-I'm-gettin-shot-at balls of crap at me. Dead. Didn't even manage to take one with me. And I thought I was about to have that final fight, but then, of course, I had to go get my stuff (and of course I had to do it while under assault by the same assholes that just killed me). *sigh* It sucked.

The section in COD4 where you have to hide behind a ferris wheel or some other object and hope that no-one finds you/hide in a booth and hope that if someone tosses a grenade in, the explosion will hit the door instead of killing you instantly.

I hate blue shells

That is all that needs to be said
Eh? I'm probably ignorant for saying this, but it sounds like it has something to do with Mario.

Here's one that was just shitty luck. Playing God of War on God difficulty, I had finally beat the second stage of the last boss battle, when all of a sudden my playstation 2 freezes up. I literally left the game alone for 5 hours hoping it would mysteriously unfreeze itself so I wouldn't have to start all over again. It took me like 15-20 more tries to beat the second stage. After that, I beat the final stage in one try.

The blue shell is the most powerful weapon in any mario kart game. the blue shell equals instant death to the person in the lead, usually used just as you are about to win the race.

The exact same thing but the lepar pushes you into water and you die! AND YOU HAD TO TRY 50 TIMES JUST TO FINISH THAT LEVEL

DAMN YOU LEPAR!!!!
The Lepers (spelling ire, deal with it) are a pain, but your supposed to avoid them by going along the boats and dockpoles in the harbor.

And just to show off my brain-muscles, there are only Drunks in that section.

Xan, on the original Unreal Tournament. That guy is stupidly hard on any difficulty above Easy.

Battlefront II - Protecting the shelves in the Jedi Library. Grrrrrrr.

San Andreas, while parachuting to safety at the end of the Casino heist mission, I'm floating down to earth next to a multi-story car park. There's a cop car on the third level, parked next to the wall. The cop gets out of the car, through the wall, walks over thin air for two steps and arrests me, still wearing the parachute, IN MID AIR!
One of the more annoying game glitches.

Oh, and any game that has escort quests. They are frustration's ultimate weapon!

Oh yeah, Hitman Blood Money is a good one for this, some bastard will walk in on you just as you are disposing of a body. Also, why the fuck did they make the button for open door and retrieve item from briefcase/toolbox/package the same? I would walk up to a door with armed guards on either side and a briefcase with guns in it, I would get searched, be allowed through, then press open door/close door and whip out the guns, there goes your stealth.

Halo 2 deathmatch. Can't remember the map name, but it's the one with the two bases with a river between and the portals on the far side of both bases. I was running from my opponent for one of those portals, and he shot me in the head right as I was about to step into it. I hit him for it, I was so mad.

In Gangsters, you racketeer, murder, steal, drive-by and pillage, but your guys are scared of illegal parking.
