Somthing that angered you beyond reason(gaming related)

When people attempt to put down Guitar Hero in relation to real guitar because they are idiots who don't grasp the concept that one is merely a game and the other a musical instrument. Equally vice versa for the GH fanboy crowd.

Also I know it would be impractical, an endless tool of annoyance for some and just wouldn't work in most games, but when you can't pause a game when playing online. Just kind of annoys me a little that I either have to sit and finish this game, just leave the game running and get killed a lot, or leave and have to re-join the party sometimes with some kind of penalty for quitting.

A lot of people here are complaining about people screaming into mics online.

I gotta say, I've been playing Halo 3 and COD 4 for a while and I have NEVER heard anyone trash talk over live... is this because I play on Recreation as opposed to "pro"?

I don't have an example of my own, but a few years back a friend of mine had Sonic Heroes, and the last level of any of the four teams you were forced to play as (they basically made you play the game 4 times... ... anyway) he kept repeatedly dying, falling to his death off of the grind thingies. Eventually he thre his controller at the wall with enough force to actually break it.

Dunno about the others, but I'm also on recreation. I think you were just born under a lucky star.

In Mass Effect, there are vehicle sections. Sometimes, you have to fight a giant "Sand Worm" called a Thresher Maw. It's attacks are a bunch of short range attacks and spitting acid at you, and when you go to far from it, it goes underground and resurfaces closer to you. Problem is, Bioware didn't equip their AI with the ability to tell where you are when their underground, so they'll sometimes pop up under you, killing you instantly, and since it's not an official attack, there is no warning and a very slim chance of escaping. The only thing you can do is keep driving and pray.

Honestly, I've heard massive amounts of people whine because of the Thresher Maw. I've goon through the game twice, for the different reactions and endings, and gone a bit in on a third run. I got to level 49 on my first run, so the second was just to reach level 60 quick, for the "Elite Gamer" at level 50, and "Hardcore Gamer" at level 60, or whatever the archievements are called.

Not once have I been bothered by the Thresher Maw, I've fought it loads of times, as you can deduce from the fact that I got to level 49 on my first run (I went to every single explorable planet in the game) - I died once that I can recall, and that wasn't from it spawning underneath me. It has been mightily close many times, where I was saved by moving constantly, but that is part of the game, isn't it?

When you fight a Thresher Maw, when it's surfaced - obviously, you move around because it is hella deadly, so the minute it uses "dig", you stop moving. "System Failure, Sir! When we cannot see the monster, we cannot move, we are powered only by the risc of death" ???

How is "You have to move around constantly" something to whine about? The monster is several stories tall, and can already kill you in one hit when you get close, so why the hell are you standing still?

I'm not, I keep moving, but it comes up beneath me regardless of where I am or how fast I'm moving. I wouldn't be pissed if it was a legit attack, though.

The fact that you assume I stopped moving shows how unfair it is.

For the record, I'm on my 4th playthrough, and I'm really only experiencing that now. Thresher fights rarely did that to me before.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Fight thresher maws on foot, for maximum jollies. Also 3x the experience when you kill them. (not as hard as it sounds, there's a "sweet spot" distance just outside their melee range where they'll just stand still and spit, which is easily dodgable)

Picture a young lad (or in a reality a 20 year old man) happily playing his latest installment in the Pokémon series of games, he enters a cave in the side of a mountain and lo and behold, what does he encounter?

"A ZUBAT?! THIS IS POKÉMON PEARL! WHY HAVEN'T THEY DESIGNED A NEW BAT-LIKE CREATURE FOR THESE SODDING TUNELS?! IT'S ONLY LIKE THE SEVENTH INSTALLMENT IN THESE SODDING GAMES!!"

The rest, was history...
until he encountered a Geodude later on.

corrupt save file on forza 2, happend last week, been playing it since it came out, a power cut while saving I am not a happy bunny.

 

[Aginor27]

I'd been playing through Prince of Persia warrior within for weeks, and finally reached the last portal to go through and fight Kaileena . I stepped on the portal only to have nothing happen. no loading, no cutscene. nothing. I was so pissed off, i reset the game and tried again but still nothing.

So i started a new file and breezed through to the end. Still nothing..

I was so pissed off, it wasn't until later that i learned that this wasn't the only glitch in the game..

My parents pawned all of my consoles and games when I was like 15. Goodbye Secret of Mana and Super Metroid, we hardly knew ye.

One thing I lothe in console gaming: Regonal codes.

I bought a copy of Psychonauts from the US, because I couldn't find a copy in Australia and I'd sold my copy after I got my 360.

Anyway, it got here and I went to play the game and it wouldn't work because the game was in NTSC or whatever and not PAL.

Does that annoy anyone else and can someone explain why that still happens?

 

[defcon 1]

Loosing to the 100 man match in Smash Bros Melee. I killed 99!

The Rikku/Ansem battle in Kingdom Hearts. You know, that one with the extremely long cut scene.

The DDR pad breaking.

Discovering Wind Waker wasn't that good of a game. Not to mention I had expectations and hype like you wouldn't believe. I still question what everyone sees in this game.

Someone already mentioned a corrupt hard drive so I'll throw this out. My PSU exploded taking with it the motherboard and CPU. No more PC gaming for a long time.

Civilization: Revolution's logic. A unit with several stat points lower will always attack you and always win despite your superior stats. World Leaders will go to war with you simply because you won't give them your shit. Someone will always, ALWAYS get a space travel victory before you can do anything else. ALWAYS. Rival kingdoms always attack you at the exact same time. Javelins and spears can destroy fighter planes. Enemies always spawn infinite units. Always. One enemy spy can and will destroy an entire spy ring. Rival world leaders will kidnap your settlers and think it's all cool and shit. Fuck Civilization...

Call of Duty 4 lag and dying because of it. Being shot in the foot and being killed by it. Martyrdom and random grenade deaths (because every asshole uses it). And worst of all, the Juggernaut/Martrydom or Juggernaut/Last Stand combo. For the man who knows he'll be shot, and killed, but won't work on actual dodging or strategy... God...

All those things send me into fits of rage. And often.

 

[Ares Tyr]

Indeed, I do hate those CoD4 and Halo people who come on just to talk shit and scream at the top of their lungs. But usually I rebut by either talking nonsense or agreeing with them. It usually works because they'll dismiss me as a crazy weirdo. Usually they start spattering stuff that makes me laugh at how dumb they are and I no longer mind.

"You god damn ******, you suck."

Me: "I know, big fat cocks..."

"What?! You fag!

Me: "That's a harmful word. I prefer Gay American..."

And at that point they usually just shut up. If it gets any worse, I just mute them.

My pet peeve is idiots on flash game sites (notably Kongregate) who hog up the chat begging us to help them with easy sections.

For example, in the game Sonny, one of your skills reversing all damage into healing and healing into damage on whoever you used it on. Later on, one of the optional bosses has near infinite mana and has an, IIRC, 0 mana spell that, basically, heals him for about 20 times his max HP (which is in the millions, and a fairly solid hit is a few thousand on this game).

Anybody who ever looked at their skills list would probably think "Didn't I see something that could help this?" Or if they were especially astute "Wow, how original, the 'use a re-spec to put in a hardly useful skill otherwise because we couldn't think of a better way to make it not suck'"

However, when the challenge was released, and for a few months afterwards, every DAY I would have to explain that to at least three people. Grr....

It was because we were broke, not because I did anything wrong. I'm an angel, and don't you forget it.
