"This is gonna suck" gaming moments

[Undead Dragon King]

Random required encounter in Dragon Age: Origins where a woman runs over and told she was attacked and her caravan needs help. I followed hoping for a normal thief fight, but it turns out to be an ambush... and one of the evil main characters from a cut scene shows up with about 20 friends, all looking over and recognizing who i was. I died, and the game saved right at the fight, so i HAD to win to continue playing. All i could say was... This is gunna suck.

Almost every encounter in DA:O did that for me. But I still loved every second of it. I don't think I can remember one big fight that I got through in one go. What made it work is that I would know how I died and work hard to try and rectify it. Some principles remained the same though across the board- KILL THE MAGES FIRST AT ALL COSTS

GTA IV
Me: "shooting backwards is fun"
Police: "No driving on the bridge"
I flip over a cop car
Me: "oh bugger"
three police swat vans arrive
Me: "Shit, You'll never take me..." (ran over by a van)
that was a fun day

Playing Demon's Souls and walking into the room with the Dragon God.

I can't believe I'm mentioning this piece of crap twice in one day, but in Megaman X7, right before Sigma theres a room with about 20 teleporters inside, now as soon as I encountered said room I got a bad feeling. I enetered one of the teleporters and saw the Flame Hyanard arena and my feelings were confirmed:
I was going to have to fight ALL OF THE BOSSES AGAIN.

Par for the course in a Megaman game.

Dead Space: any time that damned Regenerator showed up.

Sword of the Stars - Firestorm mod.

Here I was playing humans with antimatter drive and missiles, happily deploying missile heavy Destroyer fleets, when the Tarka AI arives with five Cruisers.

Thats ok! I've been beating back Zuul cruisers for a while now.

The Tarka's had Flayer Missile arrays, one hit from one of those kills a Destroyer outright, each cruiser carried two of them. I had thirty destroyers, and a Flayer array reloads every 10 seconds or so.

That was a rather painful lesson in the value of high level point defence and cruiser hulls.

in ffx when i was told by a friend that to get everything for tidus's best weapon I need to get something from a box in yunalesca's room after going up the stairs 3 times. I wasn't quite prepared for what took her place ><

 

[hellsheep]

MW1 on veteran... when I got to the ferris wheel part... was a definite this is gunna suck moment

 

[L4Y Duke]

um, hello?? Bioshock, only 1 other persons mentioned that game, try when you first see the shotgun, all beautiful and spotlit, no one around, you just know somethings going to happen... and then... Lights go out! You hear shuffling of feet and voices all around you as you circle around not knowing where anyone is! just 1 of the main this is going to suck moments of bioshock

For me, that wasn't a "This is gonna suck" moment. It was a "Come get some!" moment.

But, to each his own, I guess.

 

[Sassafrass]

pretty common one, Matchmaking in halo 3 and your whole team quits.

That happened to me and my guest once. I found that good fun, 2 on 5.

Isn't that Dark Bahumut?
If so, that's been added to my list of "This is gonna suck..." moments to come.

L4D2 on Hard Rain, during the Finale. I had just noticed there were FOUR tanks when the boat arrived...

 

[BlackIronGuardian]

In any Total War game, when you take a hard province or beat a tough army right next to a bigger army, you lose everything and then it almost looks like they're not going to attack you...

And then they do.

And both of your remaining guys die.

Eeeeh.....

Getting to those alligators in Pitfall.

whilst trying to complete FF7 without using a memory card and accidently flying into ruby weapon, alas my poor controller was smashed upon a wall and lots of swearing followed, 4 days of hard work for nothing

 

[caprisun]

my ps1 probably hated me for it, i was amazed it didnt break, the only problem with not saving is i had to be very careful with everything and miss out on a lot of stuff in fear of dying

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Little Big Planet's Metal Gear levels ... As son as I got into that elevator, I just knew it would be horrible ... really, elevator sections in general make me cringe.

 

[Eggsnham]

Fallout 3. I had 5 HP left, entered VATS in just the nick of time to see a bullet about 1 inch form my face, my last save was about 4 hours of gameplay ago, I had autosaving disabled. Needless to say, I survived, because I'm awesome.

 

[Blank Verse]

Oh, fuck. I hit 80. Now I need to gear up.

GOD DAMN IT.

If you've played Demon's Souls, these moments make up about 90% of the experience.

Specifically, though? Burned to death in Boletaria on the bridge by Mr. Fire-breathing dragon from Hell.

ugh...demon souls.....That game and i have an understanding, I don't play it,and it doesn't fuck me over.
Seriously, i've beaten the main story twice but there is still one part i cant beat. The army of dead babies in the swamp. Every time i try i just think "this is gonna suck balls".

i know how you feel, everybody said the game was crazy hard, and i beat it and i only died about 20 times (thats a very little amount for this game) and about half of those were from those damn baby things
