The times you thought: 'fuck this game'

[4RM3D]

What are the times when you thought: 'fuck this game'? And by that I mean those moments that shouldn't have had that much of an impact, but did nonetheless.

GTA IV comes to mind. I had won my unique racing car which I always park properly on my parking space. But those ass-wack NPCs, that can't drive for shit, rammed my car off the parking spot, which made the car despawn. I noticed my car had gone missing after I got back from a long day of work killing people and I thought: fuck this shit and stopped playing.

So what's yours?

Dark Souls, the first time I encountered the infamous pair of archers in Anor Londo. I'm pretty sure that everyone who got there had the same thought.

Also, a little later in the same game, when I was running away from the armored pig in the hallway, only to run into a SECOND armored pig.

Just yesterday playing Company of Heroes when, for about the hundredth time, my units wouldn't go where I told them. Sometimes they wouldn't even go at all. Other times, they would walk right up to within groping distance of the enemy unit I told them to attack.

It's such a bummer the pathing and AI is so bad in that game, I like the other parts a whole lot.

 

[Fappy]

Every time I lose a game of League of Legends.

Fuck that game.

 

[Guffe]

Pandoras Tower actually just 5 minutes ago.
I just can't find the fun in the game even if it is a pretty shadowy game that tells you more about the story and history as you pass through levels but I just can't find any inspiration to play it more than 40 minutes at once which is rare for me.
I'll play through it slowly but not enjoying it, first time in a long long time this has happened.

 

[Keoul]

Assasins creed
After a massive chase and tailing scene I jump across the building and what do you know Ezio doesn't feel like climbing, in the next 3 seconds the target is apparently too far away and I've desynched.
Freaking hell it's a great game but the controls really piss me off sometimes.

 

[Haefulz]

Uncharted 2 had some frustrating stretches. And eventually basically any online shooter I play.

 

[Kopikatsu]

Black Ops 2, every time I see what I have to do to get Gold/Diamond camo.

'10 Bloodthirsty medals with the worst gun in the game by a wide, WIDE margin? (Executioner/Pistols as a whole) No thanks.'

'Shoot down 10 player controlled Scorestreaks? Considering that most player controlled scorestreaks are nearly immune to rockets (Because they have auto-flares), no thanks.'

'Bloodthirsty medal (5 kills in a row) with the Crossbow, which only has six shots in it and the ammo can't easily be replenished? No thaaaanks'.

Despite this, I have completed two of those three things.

Anyway, Borderlands 2 at level 50 is another one. 'Poked your head out for half a second? EAT HOT DEATH'

 

[FitScotGaymer]

The AC games as much as I love them do that to me all the fricking time. The controls piss me off to the point where I am defo "fuck this" and stop playing for ages.

Also FF13 has done the same thing to me with the FUCKING INSANE amount of grind that that game requires you to go thru in order to fucking progress.
Its easily the worst final fantasy game for me in that sense.

I stopped playing Devil Survivor 2 when I came up against a boss that had no weaknesses, an unbelievable attack range, and the ability to completely remove your demons from play by simply swallowing them whole. This was made worse by the fact that it could suck the life out of anything it had swallowed. Also it could attack twice per round with incredible Holy-element attacks (there is no specialized defense against Holy attacks). And then there were other demons trying to kill the boss and your team so they just end up feeding the boss or slowing your team down.

I tried that boss fight a few times and then went on to do other, less annoying, things.

Every time I lose a game of League of Legends.

Fuck that game.

You sure you're not masquerading as Rookie? Every single game we lose he sulks, goes offline for an hour, probably bitching about "lag" then comes back for another round after he's cheered up. It's like clockwork I swear XD

Still I would agree with LoL being a prime contender for a Fuck This Game Award. I only rage at people with a stupidly negative attitude, not the game itself. Except if it's Jax. Fuck Jax. Fuck Win Nao as well. Fuck Bitchcrank also. Free Win isn't all that bad though in my opinion.

I once "ragequitted" for a completely moral high ground reason. I was playing support Taric and my carry was fully convinced I was trying to lose. I'm not saying I was doing amazing but she was hardly the best AD Carry ever made. Plus my Leona was banned so I had to play my not so good Taric.

I'm not trolling just because I am spamming his joke endlessly. You have to! It's so awesome! GEMS ARE SO FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS!

After she typed yet another unending rage message I said something about her being an insufferable ass and good luck carrying without me if i'm so bad. Recalled to spawn, Alt+F4. Hope you learned something that day Miss Fortune... Hope you did.

Still it's a really good game when you're winning and/or it's a close game and/or you make some sick plays. Better yet, making a sick Katarina play while your team are going on about "zomg you weren't there in a teamfight even though we all decided to not help you take Dragon and sat in a bush for a good 10 seconds lol unskilled"

Inb4 me picking off the three people who survived the 4v5 in a totally professional Katarina play


The other team thought it was amazing. I got to be snarky to my team. Win/win

Also FTL, when it gets to *that* encounter. Y'know, the one where you run into a ship that is custom-designed to destroy you in ten seconds flat.

Max shields? We have 4 missle launchers.

Awesome weapons? Fuck you we've just completely knocked them out with one barrage

A decent crew? Hope you don't mind the 50 mantis assault troops we have just boarded you with.

The final boss is still stupid. You need to have literally everything upgraded and installed to even stand a chance.

Took the words out of my mouth. Although, I don't remember that second bit...?

lol

Anyways, back to OT. Just about every game has had that one moment. Presently God of War 1 comes to mind, the part where I had to climb out of Hades going through a vertical gauntlet of spinning blades. The problem wasn't dodging them, but the fact that the hit detection was so bad it almost felt like a game breaker how difficult it was avoiding them

Hmmm... more examples.

-Escorting the little sisters in the last bits of Bioshock 1, dressed as a Big Daddy.

-Piloting the helicopter at the ends of Crysis 1: worse vehicle controls ever!

-Almost all vehicle sections in shooters come to think of it.

and...

-Fighting any sort of mage in Skyrim.

Oh and, here's one from an old and true classic (which I played and beat for the first time two months ago). In Link to the Past, searching all over the map to get the ocarina to work. That there took me 2 long days of searching and grinding.

They sure don't make games HARD like they use to.

lol

Burnout 3 the elimination races coupled with the ridiculous rubber banding and cheating A.I caused me to stare at the screen in disbelief as the car you smashed into the wall 2 seconds ago appears right behind you and overtakes you to win the race despite the fact you are in full boost seriously fuck that when they knock you off the road it takes you ages to regain 1st place.

In a smaller way SF x Tekken the online ranked really pisses me off I usually wouldnt mind but I would like to get to C rank at least once trouble is sometimes it will keep putting you up against people who are way above your skill level even though you specifically set it to same level, I need 1000 points to reach C I get 40 points for a win and lose 32 when I lose which I think is pretty harsh and really dosent encourage you to have a go at facing higher ranked people.

There was one time in Super Mario Galaxy where you had to ride a cart on a track and get all the red coins. It was an exercise in frustration. Fucking terrible

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Resident Evil 5
The Hang on for your life Sheva bit at during the final Wesker fight.
Seriously...how fucking hard do they expect you to hammer on that A button to keep that woman holding on to that ledge while Chris punches a boulder?
I literally at one point because I had done it 5 times before and it was really wearing on me threw the controller in there air and said "FUCK THIS GAME!" then I picked it up again and pulled it off right after....seriously fuck you Capcom.

 

[IllumInaTIma]

Black Ops 1 Multiplayer.
I wanted to sneak up and stab some guy, when he jumped from the balcony, turned 180 degrees and headshoted me with a sniper rifle without using scope.
Never played Black ops since.

Damnit Dan you know my ping just jumps to like 1500 for like 30 seconds then I can't move/do anything!

So frustrating >.>
