Has a videogame "figuratively" showed you the middle finger?

[Hyperone]

I do not know if it qualifies, but in WoW, Kologarn has told me I failed many times.

 

[Zaksav91]

Playing with Dark sims on Perfect Dark. They would repeatedly show me the finger by shooting me from afar with a Farsight.

Haze. Oh for the love of God, Haze. I spent $60 thinking it was going to live up to the expectations and that it would be a good filler until MGS4 came out a week later. It gave me the finger with its horrible vehicle controls, stupid plot, bad graphics, and npcs that would not shut the hell up! Aye. It flipped me the bird and took $60 and around 8 to 11 hours of my life away.

Yeah I felt exactly the same. I would have got more value for my money if I had thrown my 45 quid in the bin. At least then I would still have had those 8 to 11 hours to spend on something else.

Also, Viking, Battle for Asgard. Why distribute a game that was evidently nowhere near finished? That was definitely a middle finger to the gaming community. I only got to the first epic battle before being unable to complete a task because of bugs.

trying what it said on the back of the FFVII instruction book and completing it without a memory card to fly into ruby weapon on disc 3 and die horrificly, 4 days of not turning my ps1 off for nothing

The game in question isn't necessarily directly responsible for this one, but anyone remember about seven years ago, when Super Smash Bros. Melee was still new? EGM ran an "April Fools" article saying that one could unlock Sonic and Tails as playable fighters by scoring 20 KOs in Cruel Melee mode.

For those of you who've never played it, Cruel Melee is exactly what it sounds like; cruel. At that point in my life, I was no slouch at Smash Bros, but still could only manage 2 or 3 KOs. That didn't stop me from trying for hours and hours and hours, though.

Then I heard that the rumor was a fake. I could practically hear Master Hand laughing tauntingly at me.

Oh, come on! Only twenty? I once got thirty-two, back in my prime. I was a ninja on the box. Granted, I was spamming DK from an edge, but still... my brother's managed to get in the fifties, and he won't tell me how. I can just see the score glaring at me from the results screen, like a big, glaring... score, and it's annoying me to no end.

I liked Viking, though. What there was was awesome.

I didn't get enough play time to reach the awesome. I got the epic build up and then complete deflation as the PS3 crashed for the 5th time..... booooooo.

 

[delet]

I once rented some Tom Clansey (I think) war game. Due to a glitch, I couldn't get past the first level. I consider that a nice "fuck you" from a game.

Star Ocean 3. Beat the game, worked on the bonus dungeons, got to the boss "Gabriel Celeste". That bastard refused death, used attacks that would simultaneously cover the entire battle field and kill my party near instantly, and just screwed me over in general.

Yeah, I remember my friend was totally pissed that he couldn't beat this challenge, it was like kill 100 polygons on hardest difficulty or something. The thing is, my other friend had told me about the DK spamming trick, so he watched in awe as I beat it on my first try.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Dragon Age does this to me all the time. "What's this? You're trying to go somewhere? Well I'm going to stick you with a random encounter with about 10 or so super bandits that can wipe out your entire party in under 15 seconds flat." ...Yeah screw you too, game.

I only lost at 32 because one managed to get behind me (I was just on the edge, but somehow he hadn't fallen) and punched me off the edge, and then all the others on the screen dived in for a massive monkey clusterfuck of pain.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Too many times to count in racing games. I was winning a race, and all of a sudden they decide to make the last turn come out of nowhere with no warning time to brake and you hit a wall. Going really fast.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I remember replaying that one part in Half-Life 2, in Entanglement. Remember the part, were you'r trapped in a four way room for like ten minutes, Combine streaming in randomly from each entrance, and all your given are three short-range turrets that can be deactivated when knocked over. All it would take was one Combine to come through the unguarded entrance, run over, knock the turrets that can't see behind it over, run over and kill you. It doesn't help that I suck with the PC, you're given no health, and that they send Combine with shotguns >.>

I tried at least ten times, before I said "Screw it!", flipped off the game, and put on godmode. My God that was satisfiying.

Prince of Persia
That damn Warrior. I get so close everytime. Like I'm one button press shy, and POW game says NO and wins the lock and I have to do it again and again. I have yet to beat him once

Damn, dude. You're probably a sight better at Melee than I ever was. Still, I was, like, 12, dude. High-level play wasn't exactly within my reach. Heck, I didn't even know what high-level play was supposed to look like. I just picked Mario and went to town.

By "no slouch", I meant I could beat all the other 12-year-olds on my block because I was the only one who knew how to spotdodge and shieldgrab, albeit my timing was just awful. Zoning, L-canceling, wavedashing, all that jazz? Not a chance. Scoring 20 KOs with skills like mine would have taken a wing and a prayer.

I stab them in the neck.. I figure it's a service to society.

Also in Assassins Creed 1.

The retards. Honestly? Those fuckers shove you into guards, and make them attack me when I'm on the ground. That's bullshit man.
