The times you thought: 'fuck this game'

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

AssCreedBro - Gave up after Chapter 5 or so, haven't been back since. Boring boring boring. ACII was brilliant, the original sucked (gave up on that too) and I don't know how Ubi could've messed it up, but they managed it.

Hitman Absolution - Orphanage, gave up, can't be arsed any more. Everything about the game pretty much sucks and I don't know why I put myself through even part 1 with as much perseverance as I did. Screw you IO and your Kane and Lynching of what should have been an awesome game.

Mirror's Edge - An unmitigated disaster of a game. So bad it's the only game in my memory I've returned to the store to get a refund for sucking so hard. Not even a screw the developer here because that would be to acknowledge this crap.

GTAIV - After I took a woman bowling and to a restaurant and sat in my apartment watching a virtual TV show, I realised that the game simply had no fun left to be had. Screw you Rockstar and your PC policies. Saints Row 3 out GTAs GTA in absolutely every way.

Brink - Couldn't even get it to run after a lot of trying and reinstalls. Screw whoever made such a buggy game that it won't even run.

Metroid Prime.
It's my favorite game of all time, but every time I get a hint and I trek all the way there only for the door to be blocked by whatever and seeing the only viable path to be to go ALL the way around to get to a door on the other side OF THE SAME ROOM...
No.
I'm not doing that.
Not right now.

That's funny, this happened to me yesterday. I was playing Final Fantasy VII and after 15 hours of gameplay and trying to advance the story, I was forced to play idiotic, irrelevant mini-games. I literally said "FUCK THIS GAME", and promptly deleted it from my vita.

The Golden Saucer games, you mean?

After grinding for an hour in Persona 3 and 4's dungeons, you come across any enemy who only uses Hama and Mudo skills, they spam the spells on you and you only. I have the most hardcore rage moments when the spells are successful hits.

Yeah, I remember those. I hate them too. That's why my main character always has a Persona equipped that's immune against those attacks. I just don't dare to take the risk of an instant death.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - about 10 minutes in. I was just too scared to continue. Still is.

It gets much worse than that. >)

 

[wings012]

Far Cry 3. There were some doorways that just did not like me going through them.

Its always the really elementary stuff that gets me. Problems that should not have gotten past playtesting.

I've not really had a 'bother this nonsense' (because profanity is unnecessary) moment with AssCreed III, just doing anything feels like a real grind, much as I love the world, it's literally tripping over itself whenever it makes a step in a direction I like.

Not so much of one of those moments, but I decided to check out Hearts of Iron III once (a demo of it), only recently did I discover that to get into one of those, a little outside research is required.

My first reaction was, "Look at all this stuff! oh, this is all in REAL TIME? I don't *quite* think this is the game for me..."

 

[Kreett]

The Witcher 2 when nobody told me what sword to use against what.

Steel against people, Silver against not people. Pretty simple really.

 

[Tanis]

Chrono Cross:
Feed the dragoons 100 times.

IF you manage it, you get some REALLY good stuff for early characters.

But, it's still HARD-AS-ALL-HEll.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Halo 4.

Was enjoying the game greatly, despite expectations.

The story was fine, the combat was fantastic and the graphics looked nice.

Then I saw The Librarian.

I literally stopped everything, dropped my controller, said "No" one time and walked away.

I have since gotten over it, but seriously. In that moment, fuck that game.

On a completely unrelated side note, I think Vault101 is drunk again.

 

[Bvenged]

Lost Planet 2, CoD: MW2 & 3, Halo 4 multiplayer, Ghost Recon Future Soldier aaaaaaaaaand that's about it.

Those are the games/modes-of-a-game where I've thought/said "You know what? Fuck this game." or "I've given it a chance. In fact, I've given it recurring chances over the past week or two, but wholly and contently - fuck. this. game. I'm not playing it again."

For the most part, I don't play them again. Why should I play something I find excruciatingly not-entertaining? Halo 4's multiplayer, for example, is totally crap. It surprises me how bad they got it considering if they'd just copy-pasted Reach/Halo 3 they'd have been more successful; Cod is practically broken too; and Ghost Recon is trying to be good, but fails miserably by being a 3rd person CoD with an even-more boring and linear story.

 

[KarlMonster]

Arkham Asylum, Killer Croc's Lair. Fuck that. It's not hard as such, it's just incredibly tedious. Suspenseful for the first few minutes and then just boring and annoying.

And how does it end?
Batman does a flawless "run away" in a cutscene!
Well crap! Why did you let me fall in the water those other times when you arbitrarily changed the major axis of my controls, you annoying game? You could have cutscene-ed that part too!
The part that I just hate is the fight at the bottom of the elevator shaft after disabling the pumps. Too many guys in too small a space. But I don't quit, I just put it away and go back to it for about 20 minutes per day until I get lucky.

Crysis: the fall through the carrier DX10 glitch. If they can't be bothered to actually code the game, why should I play it? No, I don't care that it's almost over. It's an idiotic oversight, and I feel like an ass for enduring the stupid game just for that to happen.

Any game where I can load a save (after about a month away), and have no idea what I should be doing. I don't like it when the game actively reminds me what it wants me to do, but being able to look it up somewhere would be useful. Unfortunately, this caused me to stop playing Saints Row 2 during the opening escape mission. I didn't try the game again for years. But then, many games are guilty of this, I think DOOM 3 was one. I'm pretty sure that it is also why I never got very far in any of the "X: Beyond the Frontier" games. Got bored & left, came back and couldn't remember what I was doing.

Frustration and 'no idea' is always a double-whammy. See also the TC's Splinter Cell games. Oh, I know I'm going to try to get through Red Faction:Guerrilla again someday. But then I'll get very annoyed with the cops swarming me like I just blew up their favorite doughnut shop - and yeah, I guess I did do that. That game should be more fun, but they left in the developer's 'tedium' code.

Planetside2: When I got bored of it. Just kidding, I don't think that can ever happen. Possibly 5 years from now, or whenever SOE totally ruin the game.

 

[magicmonkeybars]

Magic the Gathering Duel of the Planeswalkers 2013 planechase... that damn AI knows which cards to draw and I don't care who says they really are random draws.
The times that game has fucked me over... I feel rage just thinking about it.

 

[Texas Joker 52]

Whenever I have a steak of bad luck in Halo 4 MP. Especially when I am constantly getting killed by BR users. I mean Jesus those things are stupidly accurate. Even in close range I have trouble killing the bastards. You'd think a weapon like the AR or Storm Rifle would trump the BR in close range but nope. More often than not I'm face down dead.

I guess I don't have those essential twitch reflexes to keep up.

I feel your pain. I miss the days when the Assault Rifle wasn't complete shit, even in its 'butter zone' of close to medium range. Now, I don't mind the DMR, though it can be kind of difficult for me to keep on target. But I absolutely despise the Battle Rifle, the three-round-burst piece of shit. Either go automatic, or semi, you don't need some burst-fire bastard in a game, it just feels unnatural to me.

For me, my fuck-this-game moments definitely come from Halo 4's and Black Ops 2's multiplayer.

All you ever see in Halo 4 now is either a Battle Rifle, or a DMR. That is it. Rarely, you'll see a Light Rifle, or god forbid, a fucking Boltshot. Of course, I'm still of the mindset that only Snipers get to camp without getting bitched about. I usually end up getting dominated in each match, and trying to use an Assault Rifle is just frustrating. Whenever I get killed just before finishing someone off with said Assault Rifle? Fuck that.

And for Black Ops 2? Good luck getting used to sniping very quickly. Now, I'll admit, I bastardize the snipers by usually quick-scoping, but in Call of Duty, that's pretty much the only way they can be used, barring the occasional opportunity to use it properly. I try to do both, but damn if all of the maps I play on have any decent lines of sight, and aren't smaller than some guy's backyard. So, whenever I get a shot off at a guy just before dying, I'll watch the killcam. And whenever it shows that I didn't take said shot on their end? Fuck that too.

"Fucking DotA. This game sucks. Pisses me off to no damn end. Goddamn Pudge."
"Another game?"
"Of course."

 

[The Wykydtron]

Wait, there's a League of Legends group here? HOW DID I MISS THIS?

Yup! Is there an actual user group yet? I may have to make one if so. I could post funny videos and every Siv HD guide. Sounds fun.

[sub]It's AP Rengar, Lion Lane Police![/sub]

What server are you on? Me Rookie and Padwolf play on EU West, alas Padwolf is never around when we are... And when she is she feeds horribly. Like when that Garen built full tank, bought an Infinity Edge then hardcore carried his team. Not saying it's her fault or anything...

[sub]But it totally was >[/sub]

I've only ever seen her play Riven though. Maybe she actually has a good Irelia like she claims.

Speaking of Irelia, I once had the Miss Fortune (haha i'm so good) to see an Irelia lose solotop against Leona... God. She wasn't even getting camped at all, Irelia counters Leona in every possible way! Eclipse is completely negated with her true damage and Leona has three stuns, all of which become worthless once Irelia has Merc Treads.

Leona doesn't even have proper damage! Any mega damage you see is her Sunlight passive repeatedly detonating not her actual abilities. You need a teammate to proc any of that so half of her damage is gone straight away.

The joys of solo queue... Maybe she was F2P that week or something. For my sanity I hope that was the case.

 

[Denamic]

The Witcher 2 when nobody told me what sword to use against what.

Nobody told you? The game tells you, mutiple times, that witchers uses silver swords against monsters. Hell, it's even covered before you get the damn sword. How did you not pick up on that?
Don't blame the game when you fail to pay attention.

 

[The Headcrab Farmer]

I've got a few lined up...

Fallout 3 with that alien expansion. FUCK THAT. Here i was, roaming the wasteland with Fawkes, having a good time which must have been so good it traveled back in time to the developers who thought "let's ruin this smug bastard's fun" and teleported me a spaceship where every fucking bony-ass alien seem to be made out of kevlar. Fuck that somewhere sore.

Next up, Mass Effect 2. I loved the first one, the atmosphere, the design, the combat and the exploration with shopping-trolley-helium-wheely-bangarang-tanky fun. The second? Boring ass cover mechanics, boring upgrade system, the world became WAY too grim and dark and the worst part was the exploration was non-existant. I really missed my bouncy castle of death.

Hmm, do i have a third Fuck this from a non fuck this game?

Yes i do, the Havanna level i Kane and Lynch was a real *****. That helicopter was not fun to fight, too fuckin hard to fight and basicly stopped me from finishing the gam on Morphine(hard). I think i actually said fuck this game playing it.

 

[Vykrel]

many, many moments in the CoD franchise when playing on Veteran. that crap is so unfair that it is largely based on luck.
