moment that made you hate a game.

[pyrosaw]

[spoiler/] Killing Andrew Ryan in Bioshock. After doing that, it just felt like the game was going on longer than it was suppose to.[/spoiler]

I didn't like the mission structure of Destroy All humans. I was looking forward to a sandbox-esque deal.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

3rd Palace, the room just before the boss... and then the boss, Ironknuckle. As if everything before wasn't aggravating, this trumped it all.

Also...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Turning into the wolf for the first time and learning I'd have to do it more throughout the game. No. Just no.

 

[Lullabye]

When I was playing Resonance of Fate and I couldn't figure out how to do the tutorial...

And I was just gonna go pick that game up.....
For me, um....Demon's Soul's tutorial. I had a love/hate relationship with that game. Mostly hate. (Especially after I had to beat Flame Lurker the 3rd time on my first runthrough)

Dying in Mass Effect 1 on the mission where meet up with Liara for the first time, during the part where the Geth Armature show up. Your teammates die before you even get a chance to tell them where to go, and if that happens, the fight is really hard. Worst part is, if you die during that part you and havent saved, you have to start the entire mission over, including the driving sequence. That's throwing you 10-15 minutes back in the game. That part made me stop playing the game a couple of times

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

Getting noob tubed for the billionth time in MW2?
Trying to kill Old King Doran over and over and over again?

Yeah, those may be the most frustrating.
Oh fuck I just remembered 5-2. Fuck 5-2, fuck it in the arse with a rusty chainsaw.

this is simple, what happened in a game that just completely turned you off and just not want to play it again.

for me, its oblivion. i know this is a popular game, but the first time i played it i got turned off. first i fight my way through a sewer and thought "this is a pretty fun game". then i exited the sewer and saw a whole world for me to explore. so i annoyingly traveled ten billion miles to my first destination where i had to talk to some old guy. he says how im a hero and bla bla bla, i wasnt listening. finally, i get board and start stealing his stuff. he didnt like that and called for help because im a thief, so i pull my sword out to shut him up. he laughs and says he was part of the elite guards or somthing and kills me. i res back at the sewer. i turn the game off because i was not going to walk ten more miles just to talk to that ass again. perhaps if i played it again i would like it, but i dont have much desire to.

FFXIII, when you're hunting trophy monsters.

I was one of the few people (it seems) who enjoyed FFXII and FFXIII for their combat, and I really enjoyed hunting the super-monsters in FFXII - it turned it from a 'yeah, it's ok but not at an FF level' to 'OMG, I just lost 120 hours of my life!'

So when I saw they had that in FFXIII, I was pretty pumped. When I actually tried to go on some, I felt so screwed.

You can only take one mission at a time. Missions aren't dealt from one point, but rather each mission has it's own marker on the map. Then you have to traverse half the map (which is twice the size of the rest of FFXIII's maps put together) to beat a monster. And then some missions are unavailable for whatever, so you have to wander around the map to find them. And the map doesn't tell you what is where. And the one thing that could redeem it, having a chocobo to get around a lot faster, wasn't available as THEY are unlocked via a mission which I couldn't access (and I'd done about a third by then).

Was very, very frustrated, and resented their awful implementation of the missions, effectively ruining it for me.

I quote you coz, yeah, I didn't walk around for hours on end due to rubbish design.

Incidentally, do sandbox games irritate anyone else? Or is it just me?

Fable 3, post-revolution.

The side-quests are great and frequently hilarious.
The main quests building up to and including the revolution are acceptable.

Everything beyond that simply sucks.

Cod black ops multiplayer, so imbalanced fcuking hate it lol

Orsino in Dragon Age II. You son of a..

Spoiler: Basically this spoiler is 50% of the ending of DA2, read at your own risk.

You side with him in the final battle, kill EVERY SINGLE TEMPLAR THERE, then he randomly turns into a fat blood demon thing (What!? Oh, that's right.. he was the guy that was talking to your mother's killer, 'O' as he signed the end of the letter. This is only explained to you if you sided with the templars however, if you're a mage then he just whips out the dagger after the battle is over and starts carving away with barely any explanation atall). One would assume then that he would be doing this to aid you in killing the templars. Unfortunatley, common fucking sense doesn't apply to the last 15 minutes of that game, so the guy whom you have helped all this time decides he's going to try and kill you for no reason.

This!

I loved the game and was so annoyed when Orsino did this!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

A part in Sonic Adventures 2 where you have to find three Emeralds in five minutes.

I fear time limits, and the game telling me I have to find three Emeralds in this labyrithine facility just unmotivated me.

i agree entirely. its like the designers were saying, "Hey, dosnt matter who you side with. you got to fight both anyways. just take the achievement and stop crying."

Yea, it wouldn't bother me so much but the whole game up to that point was leading up to that decision and the side you were going to choose then itgoes and does something like that. May as well have not bothered with the whole thing.

 

[Neo10101]

Well, almost everyone tried out runescape at one point or another, and there was a lot of different points that made me start hating the game. Stupid hackers, people who scammed you, bad graphics, slow gameplay, etc. However for a game prides itself on collecting and grinding I was fed up when I went to the bank and tried to deposit some items and it said (max items allotted, sign up for better account to hold more items( paraphrased)). I was just like -.-, hell no am I gonna pay just to hold more items, goodbye!

 

[Dalek Caan]

Playing Dead Space 2 on Zealot setting. Was on the 2nd last mission and had done up to 16 hours by then. When I went through on of the door to finish the level I found myself looking at a massive black hole. There was no ramp to the next part. The game had super glitched. Up until that point I was pretty patient. Completely lost it and traded it in for £40. Have regretted it ever since.

 

[octafish]

Finishing the initial levels of Assassin's Creed and Red Faction: Guerrilla. They both throw you into a big sandbox world and at that point I just thought your gameplay isn't good enough for me to bother with this shit. I love some sandbox games (The Fallout Games, Just Cause 2, Minecraft, Vice City, Baldur's Gate, Arcanum) but just hate some others, and it usually comes down to uninspiring gameplay or characters (Assassin's Creed, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Oblivion).

GTA 3 and up. After about 2 hours of extremely repetitive gameplay and shitty car controls, I just didn't want to play it anymore. I have never played a GTA game for more than 2 hours.

You only like the top down games? I thought GTA3 was pretty mind blowing, I mean I had done all those things in 1 and 2 but the third person perspective really added to the immersion.

X3: Reunion.

As explained in this review I did a while ago:
http://rr.pc.ign.com/rrview/pc/x3_reunion/736739/102727/

 

[AlternatePFG]

I really, really like the game itself, but the moment that really just made me rage about the story in Fallout 3 was the big turning point where the Enclave show up out of nowhere. Also, obligatory mention of Little Lamplight.

Also in Mass Effect 2's story, with the Collector Ship trap about halfway through the game. That was just terrible.

 

[Jegsimmons]

the part in FFX where they START THE DAMN LAUGHING!!!!!

DAMN IT SQUARE!!!! WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING!!!!!!!???????
