Game-ending Frustration

[MiracleOfSound]

I always found that stupid fucking box room with the floor spikes to be a million times worse.

Yeah that one was bad too... a lot of the traps in Pandora's temple were nasty. That one where you had to swim up and down under the on-rails spikes was tough also.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed. It's not that it was hard, but after ignoring all the awful parts of the worst port I've ever seen done from console to PC, the boss fight turned to a quick-time-event battle with a fixed camera.

Let's just say that it made me consider making an uninstaller program that lets you wail at a virtual representation of a folder with different objects while it does its job

Farcry 2. I just recently rented it but damn. The roads are all canyons, never saw a zebra, was playing on easy and got my ass kicked. I just sent it back after three hours.

 

[Mechanix]

Modern. Warfare. 2.

The final level of Act 1. That mother fracking favella. that level just wasn't fun, at all.

Oh, and the multiplayer in general. They reeeeeaaaaaally need to patch that game. Please, somebody, fix the hit detection....please? I'm sick of getting killed because somebody shot the space of air next to me, and I'm VERY sick of knifers who take advantage of the lag...

Yeah, I was going through the game on veteran for the achievements, but that level was just ridiculous. I was able to get through 1-2 levels in a sitting, but for that level, it took me 3 SITTINGS TO GET THROUGH IT. My blood pressure just rose too high to continue, and I had to cool off for a few hours before coming back to it. Each time I only advanced 1/3 of the level.

Also, most racing games can make me angry enough to stop playing.

One time bonus items during certain quests (bobbleheads from Fallout 3).

Saints row 2. The ronin mission where you bury the bosses kid. You have to race around on motorbikes while cars try to run you off the road.
All the while trying to shoot the kid off his bike. It was also raining when I did it.
I stoped playing that game for a week. Damn motorbikes.

jump in the car to the right and run his ass over, thats what I did.

Well, now I feel really stupid.

 

[Rakun Man]

First Killzone. The swamp level.
I still haven't beaten it. Though I actually like the game.
And this is how most of my games end, hence, the reason I play on easy.

 

[Au Naturel.]

Dagra Dai in Ninja Gaiden 2.

Cheap is a poor way to describe him, but I don't think there's another word for this. Every attack of him stuns, does a lot of damage, is nearly impossible to dodge and hits multiple times. During the fight two powerful enemies constantly respawn, throw fireballs at you and mess with the targeting. Healing items are extremely limited, with six healing items(three large and three small) that could have been used in the enemy-filled hallway before the boss fight, an area that guarantees health loss so you won't even start the fight with full health or healing items. Dagra Dai himself hovers above the ground in a game with very limited aerial attacks and whenever he's on the ground he's constantly attacking. Oh, and he's a three-stage boss fight where the final form had the most reasonable way of dodging a very powerful attack patched out.

This.

Far Cry 1 just pissed me off at every turn. I stopped playing. Take that Ubisoft. But I still paid. curse you ubisoft.

 

[bigass]

Trying to beat Hilary in a race in Vice city. I'm not going to do any of the other empire missions because that is exactly what the game wants me to do.

I got the Secret Armoury of General Knoxx DLC for Borderlands, and it's so difficult I haven't been able to get through it at all. All of the enemies are advanced Crimson Lance mercs that are a higher level than me, and during one encounter with that ninja miniboss at the very beginning I was killed so many times the boss unspawned, and one of the main plot threads never started, so I think I broke it.

You didn't miss too much.

In other news, when i first started that one, i was just running around and their ship crashed into me and killed me. I was looking the way they were coming and was like 'what is tha....SHIT"

 

[Enos Shenk]

Anytime a game pulls out an invisible or near-invisible instant-kill trap or gimmick. It's basically a "fuck you, reload and remember it next time" trick. Absolute cheap shot and piss-poor game design.

You know what's hilarious? I made it past the difficult part just yesterday, because I figured I might as well try again, and I just got back from playing it for around 3 and a half hours. I'm having a huge amount of fun.

ff13

not only game ending, but feeling like franchise ending.

except 14 because that, like 11 doesn't count as a real ff

 

[Protocol95]

That mortar section in the Bad Company 2 campaign is pretty damn unfair.

Nothing ever made me rage as bad as this though:

Which mortar scene? There are two.

That section is pretty much about luck. On the first one it was hell, (pun intended) but on the second one I only fell two or three times.

 

[Skorpyo]

Ugh, FarCry for sure.

I can never get past that hall full of troops when you first enter Kriegers Lab.

I've been trying for months, now.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Far Cry 2. I killed all the guards at an outpost, and was expecting a jeep to come, (I died 4 times prior to this because I was hit by the jeep, they shot me to death etc.), anyway, I killed the jeep people this time; I was checking to see what guns they had, when I heard what sounded like a jeep, so I looked around and there were two more jeeps that came out of nowhere and I died again. That was it for me with that game.

 

[Katana314]

Company of Heroes.

YES! It took all my strategic planning of landmine-laying and troop sacrifice, and I lost several forward emplacements, but we managed to destroy their tank! SCREW you, Nazis! You-

*rrrumble rumble*

-...have another tank.

GTA: Vice City: Basically a screw-you to certain resolutions. The crosshair is off-center because I use a widescreen monitor.

 

[MasterChief892039]

I had a reasonably long hiatus from Fallout 3 because I collected all of the bobblebheads except the energy weapons one which I had permanently missed by blowing up Ravenholdt, and then I accidentally deleted one of my main save files... yes. That was rather frustrating.

Recently, i've been playing Kingdom Hearts: 385/2. There are missions in Beast's Castle, like you'd expect of a KH game, but in THIS game, your playing as a member of Organzation XIII, and they need to be stealthy. This essentially boils down to "Avoid being in the gaze of people when you need to be stealthy. But in Beast's Castle, you need to avoid LUMIERE AND COGSWORTH. WHY DO I NEED TO BE STEALTHY. IT'S A GODDAMN CANDLE AND CLOCK. surely they could just PICK IT UP and put it somewhere so they can't see. Honestly i haven't raged so hard at a game since... Kingdom Hearts 2, actually.
