extremely frustrating moments in gaming

[scnj]

The stormtroopers in TFU that can withstand force powers and my lightsaber. They kill the fun and they don't even fit into SW canon.

 

[traceur_]

Ninja Gaiden 2-- Getting my balls ripped apart fifty times in a row by Zedonius in the underworld, and that was on acolyte difficulty!

 

[ThePhobicMan]

COD 4: "Charlie Don't Surf"- the broadcast room ambush on Veteran, try it.

 

[owner276]

CoD4- I had my bead on you and my trigger down for ten seconds and you turn around and kill me in 2 seconds. I just put you in the center of the crosshairs (hipshot crosshairs) with a shotgun at facerape distance and fire and you kill me. I have my sniper crosshair on your head and fire. Why aren't you dead?

All of those sadly happen to me on a regular basis. It's why I enjoy single player games more than multiplayer.

I'm now going to break out my hula skirt and sing the Host Advantage song...

Host advantage... it ruins your game
Host advantage... where I put the blame

I shoot you for four seconds loading clips in your face
You calmly turn around while standing still in one place
I'm still emptying magazines right into your head
You pull your trigger once and suddenly I am dead

I'm running round through Crash and I'm on the third floor
I see you coming for me and I drop to the floor
I run right round the corner and I escape from you
But suddenly I'm back out on the roof carved in two

Host advantage... it ruins the game
Host advantage... where I put the blame
Host advantage... it's so goddamn lame
Host advantage... my skill it will maim

and so on...

Please tell me you didn't actually put on a hula skirt for that... 0_o

I don't know if I was ninja'd for this, but anyone that played Star Wars: Force Unleashed knows that the Star Destroyer mission was a nightmare. That was simply the most, annoying, aggravating, gut wrenching, tears inducing, life ending, hair pulling, instant ageing, chaotic, brutal, unrelenting, agony that any gamer would go through due to the poor targeting controls and the fact that the game lies to you about how to pull down that accursed ship.

Lord, how that level frustrated me!.

Half life 2 when I'm on near full health (almost all the time) and I find about 5 health packs every other room.

The stormtroopers in TFU that can withstand force powers and my lightsaber. They kill the fun and they don't even fit into SW canon.

Just the fact that my lightsaber can't remove limbs and half bodies was frustrating enough for me.

The warrior in Prince of Persia. No matter how fast I button mash he always wins.
and I button mash pretty good.

Yeah, and a coconut bra.

 

[kamario]

for me it would be getting the levitation merit badge, i seriously sucked at that and it was so frustrating trying to get into the path of a giant fan and pushing shift, which for a while i thought i had to push the up key because im a douche

 

[owner276]

please tell me that you're a chick, and not just a dude with a penchant for cross-dressing...

The Army Base level in Painkiller, I almost quit the game because of that fucking level.

 

[quack35]

A few of the missions in Prototype are basically an exercise in keyboard-smashing frustration.

So are some of the events.

Let me see... Try the one where you have to destroy the escaping helicopters, which you can't do without jacking one yourself, which only lasts as long as the first round of heli's. Or perhaps every mission involving those genetic detectors.

The Cannonball move works really well in that mission.

LOL. This is ironic because I JUST mentioned Saint's Row 2 in another thread. It's FULL of frustrating moments. Whether it's a gun-barrel phasing thru a solid object to shoot me in the tits, getting COMPLETELY pwnd by the uneven npc spawning, or just walking thru a door to be IMMEDIATLY killed by an enemy with a rocket launcher(and all that's just form one mission ._.)
But my most frustrating Saint's Row 2 moments has to be the time when I was on the driving part of a mission(chasing a truck I believe) and I accidentally hit something, which knocks the front bumper of my car, I go to drive over it and I get STUCK. A HALF TON VEHICLE STUCK ON A 2 MILLIMETER THICK PIECE OF METAL!!! I ended up failing the mission and having to do it over again because of that bollocks.

 

[camokkid]

every single mission in prototype

especially the escort missions, which I am putting at number 2 in my list of video game deadly sins

"thou shalt not abuse escort missions(but if thou avoids them, that shalt be good too"

number one is

"thou shalt not have a naggy, repetetive, sarcastic support character"
(I'm talking about you mercs 2)

Camera positioning in:


Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Neverwinter Nights 2 (and Mask of the Beholder).



It is always situated either inside a wall or wooden beam, or in the best spot to make you feel what blind swordsman Zatoichi [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi] felt while fighting.

When playing fallout trying to discover every place on the map and you get around 10 different places and kill loads of enemies and you lvl up and then your playstation decides to waste about 3 hours of your life by FREEZING making you have to go through it all again. It has happened 9 times...But hey could be worse it could break!

Fighting one of the enemies in Wolfenstein on Uber difficulty. I honestly couldn't complete the fight, it was so hard. Spoilers below for those who want to know more.

Spoiler: Major Spoiler - don't click unless you honestly want to see

The woman in the ball in the hangar during one of the final missions of the game. She spawns an infinite number of undead soldiers, who can shoot fireballs and spray you with assault rifles. You can't even just kill her - inside the ball, she is invincible. You have to destroy some generators, a few zombies, and then kill her
