The OH-COME-ON-NOW Moment

[Floppertje]

doing the bank heist mission in GTA 4 for the third time in a row, I ALMOST got away from the cop, car stalls at the very edge of the circle. so I get out, get another car, go back to my mates. but one of them won't get in and I get shot by the cops through the window. ffffuuuuuu...

 

[RipperSU]

Every time New Vegas crashes. It REALLY drives me up the wall.

This. It's probably why I haven't touched it since I beat it.

When you're alone in Demon's Souls, farming souls for repairs/stat boost/spell cost, and you get invaded by someone using a Scraping spear.
It's actually more efficient to kill yourself off rather than try to fight back...

 

[Zakarath]

In X-Com, when my guys somehow fail to notice the Chryssalid standing 5 feet away. In front of them.

That, and trying to beat that one fucking level in Halo 2 on Legendary with the nine thousand jackals with beam rifles.

 

[Ren3004]

Today, while driving. I kept shouting "OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, COME ON!!!" every time a light turned green and no one moved.

Mortal Kombat challenge tower #300 it's just so god damn hard D:

 

[aarontg]

Recently when I played the new mortal Kombat. I'm telling you that no matter how good you are you will always get your ass kicked by Shao kahn at least five times before you finally get a pattern (or cheap tactic) down. Not to mention that if you play on the ladder mode he can perform a fatality on you. So getting beaten and getting ripped in half guarantees another addition to my controller scrap pile.

Playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Facing the tiny zombie things for the first time. "Im glad they made this kind of realistic without any supernatura-OH COME ON NOW"

Playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
"Wow, this is really an improvement over the first one. I especially like how they added tougher human opponents this time, instead of- OH COME ON NOW FUCKING YETIS??"

and

"Well, at least yeti's are KIND OF realistic.. They're just mountain animals, or something. And atleast they didn't go- OH COME ON NOW WHAT THE HELL MUTATED SMURFS??"

 

[The Heik]

But anyway escapist-o-forum, what is your "OH COME ON NOW" moment?

In the God of War series, where you beat one tough enemy, only to have the game spawn 2 or more of the same bleeding bastards. OH COME ON!! I already beat it once! Adding more of the same dude is just drawing things out!

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Being attacked by bandits, being dragged across the world and dropped into enemy territory with no money, no soldiers and maybe without my sword. Man, Mount and Blade: Warband can really be a ***** if you stumble across bad luck.

 

[noxymoron19]

Your exploring in minecraft, You go mining, You find diamonds and your like FUCK YA. Then you can't find the way back to your house. So many suicidal feelings course through your body.

Oh come on now!

COME ON!

When you're about to kill someone and you get blindsided from someone coming from behind from where your team is spawning but somehow everyone missed.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

every time i died in GTA4 when i was RIGHT AT THE END OF THE FUCKING MISSION!

Rockstar suck at checkpoints.

OT:

Hawke's mum in DA2. That storyline was utterly stupid.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

being blindsided by a quick time event.

Multiple times have I reached a cutscene, and I set down the controller to take a drink or grab a handfull of chips and suddenly I'm attacked with PRESS B TO NOT DIE

 

[MattRooney06]

Every single time one of my attacks don't register when I'm fighting a boss in Mortal Kombat 9. :<

This....

Also in mortal komabat 9

It's already enough when you have to do a 1 vs 2 fight.....it's even worse when your the one, and the two are kintaro and goro (pretty much the most powerful enimeis in the game....and somtimes your hits just straight up dont work on them)

Story mode has a way of fucking you over like that

 

[Darby]

*PORTAL 2 REFERENCES*
When my IDIOT brother (the only CO-OP Portal partner I have) shoots another Portal at the wall where my Portal is, and deletes my Portal, and sends me plummeting to ny death because the Hard Light bridge that I was walking on suddenly dissapeared.
If at first you don't succeed... You fail.

 

[badgersprite]

When a buggy game or not-even-visibly scratched disk causes your game to freeze in the last boss fight and it takes ten tries to do it fast enough that the game doesn't freeze (true story; I never want to see the fucking Archdemon ever again). Also, when you realise you've wasted all the time you put into that game because you know you will never be able to make it past that cutscene where the game glitched ever again.

 

[redrefugee]

In X-Com, when my guys somehow fail to notice the Chryssalid standing 5 feet away. In front of them.

This and when a enemy is hiding behind an open door. Also, when you accidentally move into an enemies line of sight

Now that I think about it, I'm not convinced I enjoyed playing X-Com...

 

[Snork Maiden]

That part in Super Meat Boy.

And that part in I wanna be the Guy, too.

IWBTG is so so much more apt for this haha.

Incidentally I'd *much* rather play through IWBTG again over playing Super Meat Boy. IWBTG is one of my favourite games ever, SMB is merely dammed good.

 

[shemoanscazrex3]

Any long and hard boss battle that once you think you've beaten the second form happens
