Moments in gaming when you've just been ridiculously overpowered

[UPRC]

So, anyone remember any times when you've been completely untouchable and unbeatable in a game? You know, when you just go completely too far with farming/improving/upgrading something and as a result you begin to severely doubt that the game can defeat you with anything unless you walk away from the game for an hour.

We've probably all had these moments I'm sure, so share away.

I can think of two of my own at the moment.

#1 Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen
Don't ask me why I did it, but I let myself sacrifice every ounce of alignment, charisma, and reputation near the end of the game just to completely overpower my army by nearly beating levels and then giving up my base. Rinse and repeat dozens upon dozens of times and the result? A level 80-90 lord with an army comprised of level 60-80 units which were mostly all upgraded with stat boosting items from merchants. The final battle sequences were laughable!

#2 Breath of Fire IV
I spent many hours farming stat boosting items, and if I recall correctly, I used hundreds (and surely over one thousand) all on Ursula. Why Ursula? Because she kicked butt. After making her stats so freakishly high that even Fou Lu would blush, I could pretty much tear through the entire game by only using her and neglecting my other characters.

Having chosen the Jedi Guardian (and subsequently Weapon Master), the final hours of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II showed me how pitiful Sith Lords really were.

It is weird, but the game where I hold my most awsome momment is also the one where I have my worst memmory. Killzone 2, playing as Helghast, I was the only one in my team, against 4, It came to a point where I had 16 consecutive deaths.

On the same game though I once had 27 kills without deaths so...

The end of Resistance 2. You have super powers that shred even the hardest boss in two with only one hit. But I guess that's why they put it in the ending.... otherwise it would just be too fun and easy mode throughout the entire game.

I rolled a paladin in world of warcraft. XD

In FFXII, I used a power-leveling tip from the Official Strategy Guide to raise the characters to LV80+. I was able to pwn just about everything, with the exeption of super-boss Yiazmat of course.

Fallout 3 at level 30 I dont care how super awesome power armour is I should not be able to punch super mutants to death or essentialy tank half of a town.

Orlandu, FF Tactics.

Indeed. On the other hand, with the other combination, Jedi Councilor, the Malak fight got down to me eating those stimpacks and health kits for more than half an hour while slowly chipping away at him. More challenging, less safe and less fun.

The bit in the Citadel at the end of Half Life 2. You know which bit I mean.

FFVIII, you can get almost every ultimate weapon straight away by exploiting the card game, and the junction system is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exploitable that you don't even have to level up in fact the game is easier if you don't level up.

If a boss does happen to bring your guys to low health it just lets them use their strongest moves. In fact I sometimes let my guys beat themselves up just for that reason.

You pretty much become unkillable right from the get go so there isn't a moment in the entire game where I am never ridculously overpowered. It is an entirely broken game.

The amount of HP they give him was just ridiculous. 4 hours for a boss fight? Thats not a challenge, thats pure boredom grinding.

OT: World of Warcraft, and going back to low-level Horde zones. I pretty much wiped their starting zones off the map for the lulz.

I thought the idea was you keep coming back to take a few digs at the guy, then go off, heal, do other stuff, and repeat?

On topic: ZOE2, playing through it again with Naked Jehuty. All weapons from the get go, and doesn't use up any energy to use them.

 

[GAME OV3R]

Borderlands.
but only when playing through the second play through. you can go back to when all enemies are level 1 ext. and have a few brief moments of godlyness.
before getting bored of there being absolutely no challenge

agree. Master Speed + double blade or dual sabers + Master Flurry = 5 Attacks per round, which is basically 1-hit-kill for all but the bosses.

Gonna add in Champions of Norrath. Played an archer, pretty much as soon as I got my crit spell up to 50% or so, it was just mass-devastation.

I'd say once you get to a high level in Oblivion you're pretty much unstoppable. You can walk into a town, kill every living thing in it and walk out again without breaking a sweat.
