"Screw This Game"

[Iwamori]

Was about halfway done stalker clear sky and my file corrupted, needless to say I uninstalled and never went back.

I've never actually beaten the dead rising story because I would always just end up killing zombies by the truckload and missing the timer on the next mission dosier thing (I'm level 49 though ).

Got to the last level of too human and haven't played since, I might finish eventually but after having to play the second level for like 4 hours straight in order to get an achievement (achievements are the devil) I got really burned out.

Played DOTA for like a day and got really frustrated with playing random games and getting stuck with a shitty character. Ironically my friend got demigod which is basicly an easier dumbed down version of DOTA and he's telling me I need to get it D:.

I remember buying perfect dark and playing a lot of N64 with my friends at the time, we would play a lot of the deathmatch and other stuff like that. There was a mini leveling system and I was like level 10 (you start at 21 and go down) we kept playing and I eventually gave up because as much as I wanted to see what the lower ranks were, I couldn't be bothered.

Superman 64.

That's all I can think of atm. :þ

Final Fantasy XII: Fighting Elder Wrym.

I got it down approximately 12 health, one final hit would have finished it off. My attack gauge was nearly full, and then...poof. Elder Wyrm cast fireball on me and finished me off.

Since then, I've never played it.

Halo 3: Some really retarded ass moments where you're thrown into a situation where you have to be incredibly lucky or invincible to get out of.

Virtua Fighter 4: Final Fight. Nuff sed.


Saga Frontier: The Box. You cannot defeat it.

in Alone in the dark, exactly at the same point Yahtzee stopped I stopped, and uttered those words, and had never played it again (i already sold it)

Fallout 3, it just crashed on me and I had not saved in a long time (i was just fighting monsters outside, it never "auto saved") lost a lot of lvls, utered those words and have never played it again since

Legend Of The Dragoon: last boss, almost defeated, turns out someone scratched my disk, i have never seen the ending!

World of Warcraft: Why am I playing this if I'm not having fun?

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance put me through that like, four times in one sitting, but I'd always come back. XD

Have you ever had a "Screw This Game" moment?

Yes. All the time.

I don't seem to have any patience for games these days, it seems. I am not sure if it's me or that what passes for gameplay these days is simply terrible.

Par example: God of War. For those who've played this, I didn't get past the boat. For those who haven't played it, the opening scene takes place on a boat. I found the combat to be, well, the beat'em up genre was never one of my favorites because wailing on dudes for five minutes so the screen will scroll a little further is just tedious. And God of War is that only dressed up in fancy 3D graphics which do not impress me because everything has fancy 3D graphics.

I will say that here the camera seemed to be less of a liability than it is in some games. but the basic gameplay was still garbage. Waggle the analog stick while tapping the button as fast as you can with no discernible indication that you're having anything to do with what's happening on the screen. I felt distant from the action. Not as distant as I did when playing Demon Stone, but still worse than the Simpsons arcade game. Should a game almost twenty years old still be the standard?

This basic gameplay is broken up by other styles, including a scene where you battle a sea serpent in the hull of the ship that I actually enjoyed a bit. It even included a quick time event, but I still found it fun, so go figure that.

Then after fighting more dudes, I fought another serpent (or maybe it's the same one?) above deck. This part was terrible mainly because at one point, the serpent grabbed my guy and started crushing him in its jaws and I needed to tap a button rapidly to fight back. This was physically impossible because the speed it required was unreasonable. The only way to do it was to put the controller down on the coffee table to tap the button. It's nice to know that Sony wasted their time molding their controllers to feel comfortable in your hands so you can set it down on the table to play a game.

But the deal breaker came right after when I had to push a box at a wall so I can climb up a wall to kill more dudes. I was never very good at Pengo, and this was worse since the box explodes when the dudes shoot it with arrows. This just seemed like a weak attempt at a puzzle to try to break up the tepid action thus far, so I stopped playing.

You know what you have to do. Log onto that game, grab your rifle and blow its tail off. Get to it.

 

[Krajin]

Halo 2 & 3 . Did not like the story, so I said Screw it

 

[Archaon6044]

Ninja Gaiden 2, after dying about 5000 times on one section of one level I just couldn't keep playing anymore. I hate ninjas now.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Majora's Mask, not so much the game's fault but:

Played for two hours, got Mirror Shield, got halfway through Ikana Castle

Game crashes

Controller goes across the room.

Played for an hour, game crashes

Controller embedded in dry wall.

 

[Deef]

Oh I have another one. Shawn White Snowboarding, the half pipe challenge against Shawn White. He spins and does tricks better and faster than is possible for a player to do. I lost so many times that I almost threw my controller at my cat.

Eventually I beat him but not without serious frustration.

 

[ravensshade]

Golden Sun, when I was younger. I kept fucking up at some part where you have to hike through a desert. I don't remember exactly but I think there was some deal with a tornado or something and I just kept getting sent back to the beginning. Eventually I just said fuck it and put it down forever.

ah golden sun i had a big screw this game moment at the final boss
went back later and killed him though

also neverwinter nights 2 against a dragon it was a nice miss all attacks moment (on my side not the dragons)

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Some of the many times id forgotten to save in mass effect and the sniper level in COD4 on Veteran ( i beat it though)
