Game moments that caused a *FACE PALM*

[ECasThat]

All of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVyOCssIXgQ

I watch all 10 minutes of that... and now I'm bleeding

 

[Herb sewell]

The fight system in FFXII. Why squeenix? Why?

This a million times.

And the whole regenerating life thing in "realistic" shooters. HOW exactly is it realistic?

Finally someone who has freaked out because I dare mocked that abortion of a gameplay mechanic.
And what do you mean about the realistic shooters? Don't you have a regenerative healing factor? I thought they were standard issue now.

 

[clzark]

anytime any of the kids talked in Lost Odyessy

I think you mean Rugrats.

That was also very annoying. At first at was like "oh cool it's those twins from rugrats"

But then there would be some really awesome/emotional moment and those frickin kids would not only say something idiotic, but I would instantly think of rugrats, completely ruining the moment

Luckily those kids will probably be dead if they ever make a sequal

 

[Joey245]

When Sora and Kairi reunited in the World that never was in Kingdom Hearts 2. These two are the "official couple", and I'm bracing for this awesome kiss scene that never happens. They hug. That's it. A hug.

Also

Spoiler

When Xion died in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The second after she dies, Roxas says "Who else will I have Ice Cream with?"

Both very facepalm moments. The latter made me want to poke my eyes out. God that was a stupid game.

 

[Freedomario]

Every time it says something like "Gee this is sure a dangerous mission it would be EASY for us to survive but for others *Cough*YOU*Cough* it might be hard and Really annoying to go alone OK WERE SPLITTING UP NOW BYE GOOD LUCK *COUGH*LOOSER*COUGH*!"

Sigh

 

[Schnippshly]

Every time I play The Sabotuer, I spend ten minutes trying to evade the Nazis, finally just climbing onto a roof and using a conveniently placed hiding spot on the rooftop that instantly makes them all forget about me. Then I try to get off the building and in the process I immediately walk off of the edge and die because the climbing controls are so awful and finicky.

 

[xDHxD148L0]

Whenever I got to overwrite my last save and I accidentally hit "Load" instead of "Save" on the file.

 

[UltimateZ]

Failing that ball puzzle in Sonic 2006 for the hundredth time.

Having any sort of legendary Pokemon faint/run away on me after spending a good half hour whittling it down.

 

[zehydra]

Ubisoft.

Do I win an internet?

4 of them I think.

 

[technoted]

That damn minefield near K3 in Northrend (World of Warcraft) got shot off my mount landed in a minefield where I kept getting blasted round and round unable to do anything about it till I eventually died.

 

[TheRocketeer]

The Ace Combat Series has so many awful examples of genre blindness that it's shameful.

I can't count the number of times when someone says something that immediately precipitates disaster. Like, "The war is finally over!" or "This mission will be a piece of cake!" or "I'm gonna propose to my girlfriend when I get home!"

Sometimes I just have to pause the game, close my eyes, and rub my temples.

 

[Odd Water]

The ending to Borderlands, the huge monster coming out. I swear i called it too knowing it was being too hyped up about the vault i knew it would be some prison to keep something out. but i didn't expect it to be so bad. Really one of the worst endings ever.

Facepalm to that writer.

wow, you're so nice for spoiling the ending of the game I've been staying up until 5 to make time to play in between my job and my school work for weeks... thank you for putting a spoiler warning so I know not to read.

Your welcome, I answered the topic to the best of my opinion. When I remember how to set a spoiler warning I'll send you a remake of the post and apology.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

Eternal Sonata: When they heal the Queen Agogo Mother. The name is stupid, the scene is stupid, the only good thing is from the Boss Fight right before. Thats the only thing that comes to mind immediately but there are probably MANY more.

 

[DoctorObviously]

Any time characters split up, or walk into a trap or state the obvious...something you'd figured out 3 hours ago!!

Or anytime your hero gets completely pwned in a cutscene by something less dangerous than what you've been killing with ease.

This, it makes me cringe.

 

[CmdrGoob]

This is in the middle of a battle with people getting killed all over the place. Tone fail.

 

[CmdrGoob]

A gigantic string of facepalms:

 

[Iwata]

The entire nation of Japan.

Now seriously, Alone in the Dark: Inferno. No, not the "stone" dialogue, rather, the fact that the game is brilliant and no-one bought it because they released the broken mess of the vanilla edition first.

 

[Urgh76]

FF VII............ Gi Nattak after you find out you could have just killed him with an elixer

 

[PaulaG]

In Tales of Vesperia.
Where

Spoiler

Raven turned out to be working with the enemy all alone. Then turns around and saves you. dramaticly dying in the progress. Only to turn up 5 MINUTES later like nothing happened.

Actually....there is a very high "traitor" count in Tales games in general...like in Tales of the Abyss when

Spoiler

Anise spends about 10 minutes acting overly suspicious, and when she betrays the party, everyone still manages to be shocked out of there trees

Talk about Face palms....
