Crappy luck and frustrating moments in games.

[Tattaglia]

Shinobido: Way of the Ninja's garden. After nearly every single mission you complete, barbarians assault your backyard for no apparent reason other than to piss you off. And with every lot of them you kill, more come in the next attack. I don't understand why the barbarians actually attack your cottage instead of the garden, but hey, I'm not a game developer! What would I know?

Or when I killed Moriarty in Fallout 3 when nobody was looking with a Silenced 10mm, and everyone in Megaton instantly knows I'm up to no good and rapes me with .32s and combat knives. Not to mention Jericho with gah-billion HP and his Chinese Assault Rifle of ass-whippin' tearing into me. If you try to escape Megaton? That goddamn sniper will gun you down in seconds if the Protectron doesn't.

Every boss fight in Lost Odyssey for me

Fuckin seconded here, man. And I didnt even get off the first disk...

I never got off the first real boss which was that huge bird. A game stops being fun when it is too difficult.

I remember playing GTA VC and this one mission where you have to beat this guy in a race even though he has a great car and you have a shit one. It took me hours to finally kick his ass.

DKC2, Animal Antics.
You control the damn parrot.
Through a maze.
In the air. (Effectively, a water level)
Completely surrounded by death spikes.
With wind.
That changes directions randomly.
Did I mention the endless swarms of death bees?

I've never been angrier at a game or level. Parts of Rayman came close for me, though. Space Mama comes to mind...

 

[Dragu_]

Birds and/or bats in original Ninja Gaiden.

Don't even make me relive the horrors...make it go away...

 

[Devil's Due]

Mirror's Edge has many, many frustrating moments in the game if you can't see / find where or what you need to do next.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Any part of Metal Slug 3 is a frustrating part for me. Especially when I die to something I couldn't see. Yeah, that's a problem in MSX, too, but it's much easier to cope with there.

 

[khorgor]

It didn't happen in game, but I had one stroke of bad luck that made me cry. I backed up every single saved game on a external HD. which proceeded to break the next day.

O...M...G #cries#

Back on topic though. I think it was the second boss of the Thing (the one where your in a cargo bay behind crates and have to run across the room to electrify it and then kill it) that just made me cry and strop playing the game in disgust. I just could not beat it for the life of me.

 

[Not Good]

Dark Link in OoT was always a ***** for me.

 

[conceptual]

Rockband endless setlist: Drums broke halfway though the last song.

Fire emblem: Getting hit at the worst time by someone who has a 10% hit chance or when your characters suddenly decide that dodging/hitting is 'not something that the cool kids do'

 

[Sackwak]

I accidently deleted all my GTAIV save files on my PS3. I was still used to using the Metal gear Solid controls ( X = O, O = X ). I'm still pissed off about that

 

[Shotgunbunny]

Assassins creed; going perfectly silent on a mission only to have some fucking drunkard you dont see around the corner push you into a guard.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE

I always hated those bitches.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Mercenaries 2. I'm doing the mission to recruit Ewen the helicopter pilot. The chopper is at very low health, I am about 10 feet from the end of the mission, and I hear the "SSSSSHHHHHHH" of an RPG round flying through the air, and I crash.
That really pissed me off.

 

[Frigori Laecasein]

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.

Argh, those were the days! Twenty bumblebees in phalanx formation, goddamn!

 

[Emperor Inferno]

Trying to defend the wookiee oil refinery in Star Wars Battlefront II was hell. Each time I've succeeded that mission was after about a dozen different fails. It is retarded how long that lasts.

 

[Sasha Janre]

Re: chain of memories - Hades, Hook and Vexen are horribly frustrating and should die in a fire or bucket of water in Hades' case. D< Nearly broke my controller in all three of those fights. I still haven't gotten past Vexen, stupid cheating card breaking GOOBER.

 

[SneakyBawls]

A couple of times in Star Wars Force Unleashed.....(has anyone created a Most Overhyped Game thread? I'm gonna have to check on that). My first one was on the planet Raxus Prime. I found the holocron that gave me the cool Sith robes and went forward and played the rest of the level with them on. Well after completing the level, and the awesome game giving me the cutscene in the game's wardrobe I went to the next level...and the robes were no where to be found in my options. Making me have to go back through the friggin level and acquire them again.

The second time, same damn level, I was apparently beating the boss Kazdan Paratus too fast and it glitched when I force pushed him over a ledge. It did this to me three times. Finally after my brain hemorrhage settled down I ALLOWED him to put the smack down on me enough for the damn end scene to initiate. That game made me hate life and want to punch babies. That's just the most recent game to make me want to climb a watchtower. I know there's been more in my gaming life, though...
