UGHHHH! I remember that!Chester Rabbit said:
I was doing local co-op and that kept happening to my friend who was playing Sheeva. Blergh...
The first time I played Deus Ex:HR I was doing full stealth, and the first boss fight was an incredible pain in my ass. I actually stopped that playthrough. When I restarted months later I did the same build but now always try to keep a rocket launcher on hand.
Saint's Row 3: every moment of actual gameplay, and half of the cutscenes.
SSX 2012: an hour ago, being reminded of the reasons I find the game inferior to On Tour and 3. Still fun though
DOA 5: for being so good it wasted 3 hours of my life. Hard Fists and Harder Liquor!

Most recently: Whenever my character is changed in online matches of Playstation Allstars. Any time I get stuck fighting three "high-ranked" Kratos's online.
I always hastily rage quit when fighting Seth in super street fighter 4's arcade mode. He's easily the cheapest boss I've ever fought.
The whole idea behind mission objectives in AC games. Experimenting with using different weapons should almost never be punished with "you failed 100% synchronization." How about actually letting me make my own decisions so I can feel smart for a brief moment instead of doing things your way. Fuck those games.

Banjo Kazooie:
77 notes collected after jumping around and up a giant tree 3 times per season (or more, due to mistakes), jump into ice-cold water
Grunty: "That's right, jump in, you stupid bear! Ice-cold water takes double air!"
Me: "Ha ha, Grunty! You are so funny. What do you say when I go underwater? Nothing? Okay, I'll just swim out. Well that was a little tricky, but- HEY! Funny trick, Banjo. Now get out. Stop diving back in. YOU ARE GOING TO FREEZE TO DEATH, BANJO! NOOOOOO!"
Banjo: "glub-"
-I pluck the cartridge out and jam it in a drawer.-

Pretty much every fight in Dragon Age: Origins after the first level and Ostagaar. Seriously, fuck that system.
Mass Effect 2 and 3 have these annoying instances where I want Shepard to take cover, but the silly ***** vaults over the cover and into the fray where bullet enemas are free and plentiful.

Space Chem.
You figure out a solution that doesn't completely blow up the entire world. You are about to celebrate, when you realize your solution is nowhere near as good as anyone else's solution. It takes the wind so completely out of your sales.
Conversely, there's no greater feeling than an above average solution.

Shadows of the Damned. act 4
Lost Planet 2: Red Eye.
Not so much "fuck this game" as "fuck this character", but I was playing as Gaige in B2 and the Deathtrap killed a skag I needed for the quest, so I had to start the quest over.

Phantasy Star Universe. After a frustrating and repetitive couple of first hours, I tried to switch class and see if ranged was more interesting than close-range combat. It was infinitely worse and I couldn't figure out how the ammo system worked in that game.
PSU was easily the biggest disappointment I've ever had in a game, considering how good Phantasy Star Online was. D:

Why? He's a somewhat buffed version of the regular character, and he gives you a free first round, giving you an opportunity to blow half his health with a Super the next round. :Vredlionking said:
I agree that he's annoying, but he's probably the least cheap boss in the entire series imo. Gill in SF3, on the other hand...
(PS: if I sound condescending or something now, I apologize, I'm just curious)
i hated Assassins Creed 2. that the game would not allow me to kill the bad guy at the end. i felt like being dick slapped in the face and swore i would never play any AC ever again.
Playing on a faction based PVP server in Minecraft. I spent many hours rebuilding the same bases, and digging the same mines because server owners reset everything whenever they suspect someone has been cheating. I had a chicken factory of my own design, and it contained thousands of the noisy buggers. Every one of them had been hatched with dispensers or by hand. The server owner was exploring with X-ray, saw my chicken farm, and accused me of witchcraft or something similar. Server reset to zero. Fuck that game.
Funny you should mention that. I was playing GTA IV just the other day and drove for ages to get to the mission only to fuck up straight away. Niko goes "Fuck this!", I choose to restart the mission only to be taken back to the start where I'd have to drive back again. I said "Fuck this, indeed" and turned my 360 off.
Also recently, Assassin's Creed 3. No real specific times. I tossed up just returning it most of the time I was playing it. I did end up finishing it but only the main story, none of the side-quest stuff.

Miss a link in the game winning combo, get hit by mashed ultra, lose round.
Fucking Street Fighter IV.
It's my fault for dropping the combo, and I respect the decision to mash the Ultra, but damn. Only in Street Fighter IV do you have such lenient reversal timing, and such a damaging reversal option.
SNK bosses are by far the cheapest in the business. They are all such bastards.

Hah, looks like you guys have yet to play some SNK fighters.Naeras said:

Lol yeah Space Chem is like that. What I find worse is when you've finally worked out a solution during a multiple reactor level and you've made everything as efficient as you can and it runs perfectly except the system is getting backed up and you have to go and make bits less efficient to compensate.Jopoho said:
I really agree with that for Dragon Age. Fights got extremely tedious very fast, more tedious than FFXIII too which is saying something. The writing was just dull and I eventually stopped playing as the whole thing felt like work rather than fun.Gordon_4 said:
Sorry to rely on an autosave function that all modern games have. Seriously, I should have to save at the end of every mission in something like ME3 because the game doesn't do it itself, and I don't have to. In Skyrim it saves pretty much every time I enter or exit a building. It can't even do that in Dishonoured. I leave one map and go onto the next, it doesn't save.Mr.Tea said:
Yes, I could pull myself out of the game and go "I should probably save now", but in general I'm trying to immerse myself and enjoy the game rather than constantly have to think of Meta things. A game that forces me to think about Meta things is poorly designed, I shouldn't be thinking about what lies outside the game, only on what lies inside the game. RPGs are a slight exception thanks to building your character being a Meta experience, though that is what the game is based around in that factor.
The only time I'll Quicksave in a game is when the game is buggy and crashes a lot [I.E: Skyrim], or if I need to leave the game for some reason. Even in both these cases I would lose, at most, 15 minutes of progress. I lose everything in Dishonoured. The last game that has done this to me has been Lego Loco, made a good 15 years ago now. If a modern game is following the standards of 15 years ago in an aspect that really has no reason to follow those standards, I think I'm quite fine in being able to say fuck that game.
When I got to the second unconscious segment in the first Max Payne. The one where you have to follow a narrow pathway over a bottomless pit in a poorly lit room as a baby cries constantly in the background. Despite my complete love for the game, it definitely made me say, "FUCK THIS GAME!"
