Points where it feels like the game itself is cheating?

The bosses in both Tekken 5 and DOA 4 - surely on easy you shouldn't have to be an expert to win? Teleporting is pretty cheap.
I know a lot of people are probably good enough to deal with them, but they're still a nasty jump up from anyone you fight earlier.
Juggling is cheap, they should rename Tekken to Juggle Fighter.
I need to show your post to my friend. The end bosses in most fighters are ridiculously hard at times. Street Fighter IV, Seth... The 'thing' is a nuisance.

Call of Duty: World at War campaign.

Anyone who's played it will agree, enemies throwing fuse-less miracle grenades is complete bullshit.

Tribe stage in Spore. Those bastards think it's ok to spawn a bunch of guys who hate you 10 minutes after you start.

Goron race in Majoras mask is bullshit.
How does the incredible spiked roid-rager who normally obliterates everything in it's spinning path, suddenly fall at the hands of his fellow average non-spiked, non-juiced gorons?
They can so easily push you around, they barely have to go out of their way to try, and despite your obvious advantages, bumping them can at times be just as dangerous.
Especially when you get to the god forsaken TREE CLUSTER, which alone is very hard to weave through at such a speed; but throw in all these other gorons that you dare not even touch for fear of flying out of control.
You either will hit these trees by getting bumped by other gorons or by trying not to get bumped or bump into other gorons. Keep in mind that hitting these trees will bring you to a complete halt, which means that you will have to bring yourself back up to maximum spin, which brings me to my next complaint...
Why is it that even when you are spinning at about the same speed as the other gorons, just not maxed out, that THEY, wimpy small turds in comparison, by so much as brushing past you, can send Mr.BigGuns flying and screaming off to the side, landing on his face, as though he just got clipped by a speeding truck?
It looks so ridiculous when it happens too, because you're supposed to be the big tough guy.
Why aren't THESE gorons taking the initiative to go fight the temple monster, and why can't I get THEM as my character instead!?
And I STILL can't do the goron hide and seek thing, that part is so retarded I can't imagine what they were thinking while designing it, no doubt mad with power.. It's as if to say "YOU WANT THIS AWESOME MASK THEN YOU MUST SUFFER!! AHAHAHA"

Blanka and Guile in pretty much all SNES/Genesis versions of Street Fighter II. They can do charge-back moves (moves that require you to hold "back" on the D-pad) while moving forward. It shouldn't be possible, and it's extremely annoying.

I'm not sure if any of you have played the old "Pokemon Trading Card Game" for gbc with it's coin of player doom, but it was total bullshit. Any move/effect that required the coin, (multiple hit atks, poison, paralyze, etc) would ALWAYS go for the computer and against you. I had one gym leader literally get eight heads in a row and it was the only way I could lose. Infuriating

Mariokart. No matter how well you do, they always catch up.
This. VERY this. I've learned to brake when I hear the slipstream of a blue shell so I can catch others in the blast.

Golem Sisters from Chrono Trigger. 2 Bosses on the same time, and both of them got an attack that halves your HP.
That's actually avoidable. As long as you don't attack them physically, they won't use the HP/2 move.
No kidding. Not only that, they do crap damage if you attack with only Fire/Ice. And in ADDITION, Ruby Vests get your damage from them down even FURTHER.

They're an absolute joke as long as one uses some tactics. Someday I hope to print the strategy out and make it into a giant billboard viewable from space so that nobody else will try to say Chrono Trigger is a hard game. 'Cause it's really not. Son of Sun is probably the toughest thing in that game, and even then there's a way to make it easier on yourself.

Football games. Sometimes they'll make it impossible for you to win.

I was playing USC and was up by 17 with like 2 minutes left in the game, and then... Every fucking time their offense touched the ball, they broke like 5 tackles and scored. Every damn time my players touched the ball, they forced a fumble or picked off the ball.

They ended up scoring like 200 points in the last 2 minutes of the game. That was the biggest rage quit I've ever had...

This on so many levels, especially the status effect thing.

OP:Final Fantasy, almost every single boss is immune to every single status effect, which makes casting them useless. Those GOD DAMN Malboros near the end of FFX, they always ambush you (Which means they go first) and they always use bad breath which is certain death.

Call of Duty on Veteran

You want the real red ring of death? Just wait, you'll see it once they start throwing grenades.
Yea those damn grenades...
Also in MGS where you have to tap X really fast to save the girl, that was horrible..

well from the dirt demo illd have to say its steering is absolute bull. go try it lol.
Its actually one o the best driving games this Gen. Are you talking about Dirt 1 or 2?
i mean the latest one it was only released alittle while ago the demo should be pretty recent on ur store.
Which is Number 2, it was great the gameplay took a little getting used to.
Dont tell me your that kid that was online saying "This is the worst game ever, whats the point of this?"
erm i dont think so im sure there are worse games. and of course we all like diff thinks so im sure many liked it.
anyway my point is that a driving games quality rests highly on driving so surely having a good steering is important?
i spoke to a friend who likes driving games and he really hated it infact he laughed when i talked about, thats how bad he thought it was. i mean u turn the wheel left completely for like 1 sec almost nothing happens then the next half a second is just out of control! and its not like the wheel is being renched after that second i saw the guy in there hands on the wheel not going any more to the left so wtf.

Playing against hard bots in Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars. Seriously, if you could see some of the angles and rebound goals they make over and over, you'd swear they were cheating too.

Actually, now that I think about it, the bots on Peggle have some pretty hax accuracy as well.

I've just played a bit more Mario Kart Double Dash, trying to give it a chance and once again I got destroyed by the computer!

The worse thing is the fact that Wario and Waluigi were miles ahead, despite the fact that they have the slowest car with the worst accelleration and it was also really heavy, whereas my light and fast car just couldn't keep up!

Worms: Open Warfare, for DS.

Even on the easiest difficulty, the enemy worms could throw grenades across the map perfectly, and time the detonators, so they would always get a headshot, or blow you into the water.

I remember once in Half-Life 2 I was at the part where Alyx was removing the metal shield from around the Power Orb, which I had to shoot with the Gravity Gun. The catch was that enemies were swarming from all sides. Finally, I beat them all with about 40 HP left, but THEN:

I pushed a beam out of my way with the Gravity Gun and I died. Why? Well a pickup truck had been balanced on that beam, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LIKE 3 FUCKING YARDS AWAY FROM THE BEAM! So I hit the beam, the truck crushed me, and I died.
