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.
I'll never know the irritation of CoD4, since I don't have it nor plan to get it.
Civ:Rev. Hmm. Well, I saw the demo for it, and it doesn't seem like Civilizations because of the toony-ness it brings around and its user interface has the functionality of sewage. The advisors running around all the time drove me nuts, and I couldn't read anything because they were half-across the text. And, with all Civilization games, javelins do in fact beat tanks. I'll go back to Civ3 for a moment.
Fast-forward making your own world/conquering one in the game to war in the Modern Era (because there's no sense in doing it any other time).
So, you're unstoppable army of Modern Armour and Mech Infantry are spreading across your nemesis' nation like the plague on steroids-not having shot yet the fortifying bastards-and you FINALLY invade a city. To your surprise, he ACUTALLY BUILT TOW Infantry. Your tank quickly obliterates the puny resistance, coming out with naught a scratch. You assault the typical two-man defense, and to your surprise a Spearman stands guard. No problem, right?
Guess what? Spearman drops to one red bar and your tank dies.
Apparently five-centimeter Titanium-B armour plating can be punched through and the crew mauled and engine blown to smithereens by a lone soldier wielding a Stone-age bronze spear.
Go figure.
