What Trap Gets You...EVERY SINGLE TIME?!

[Wicky_42]

Daleks

I always fall into their traps

I AM YOUR SOLDIER

YOU. ARE. MY. ENEMY!

AND I AM YOURS!

You are everything I despise - the worst sin in all creation.

I have defeated - time and time again I have defeated you.

I sent you back into the Void. I saved the whole of reality from you!

I AM THE DOCTOR, AND YOU ARE THE DARLEKS!

Pretty much anything that is small and located near my feet. I like to run, usually fast, and at the time I'm not really worried about trivial things like tripwires and pressure plates until I explode or something. Then when I reload I move a lot slower.

If you run fast enough they might not get you.

I've tried that and it works sometimes. Maybe if I ran even faster that might work! Like the Flash! Or I could try being more careful but that's never as fun or exciting!

Only thing I can think of is mimics. Understandable, considering they look like treasure chests.

I got jumped by one that was pretending to be a weapon rack once. It threw a sword at me.

-----

I always manage to run headlong into those bear traps that are inexplicably littered across the land in Dragon Age: Origins. They're almost always dispersed right in front of a group of enemies, so when my teammates go Leroy on me and charge into the battle, I end up charging with them and *clamp*!

People who pick arguments with me by misreading my messages, then think I'm arguing with them when I attempt to clarify where they misunderstood me. It's a trolling so subtle that they themselves are often unaware they're doing it.

So you're saying everyone but you is a troll?

Good example, if slightly too obvious given the context.

Just because my name has numbers in it doesn't mean I'm a troll, I bet you suck at MW2 n00b, why don't you go crawling back to your precious Galo!

The first example was better. This second one is too obviously just making noise for making noise's sake.

It was a realistic rendition for trolling defensive behavior. If you thought before you spoke you would know.

Ah yes, this is a much better example of getting offended over typical failure to read. Add something like, "if you weren't so stupid, you would have known this" adds fuel to keep the flame war going.

Normally, that would totally get me, but given that the thread topic is about the kinds of traps I fall in, I'm on my guard and not so prone to do so.

If there's a better example of getting offended over typical failure to read then why don't you show it to me instead of generalizing. When I talk about something I give examples.

Trip wires. I always run too fast to catch them!

*Twing* Oh hell...

You sir are damn right about that one

You tried the ones in BC2's campaign? You'd have to be retarded to miss them.

 

[dariuskyne]

mimics... then there's greater mimics ('cause the normal ones weren't bad enough) where the entire room tries to eat you...

 

[Cain_Zeros]

One question: Have you played Gauntlet?
Fuck you, floor spikes!

Very much this. So much needing food badly. Doesn't help when you play with a loot-hog.

 

[Machiavellian007]

I'd have to go with the Mimics on this one. Every game, no matter what, I aim to open every treasure chest that I know that I can survive opening. No monster fake is going to stand in my way.

Then there are the KING Mimics in Dark Chronicle. Those motherf*ckers are evil.

I just tend to let myself fall into every trap that's activated by pressing a button. I mean, one day I might actually get the bonuses that I'm sure are revealed by that single bloody button.

 

[Silver Patriot]

Claymores.

Camp enabling pieces of shit.

Claymores again.

Oblivion, Fallout, I saw thoes traps from two miles away, but Claymores in MW will get me everytime.

Which is why I use scrambler pro. *Click* HA!

 

[TankTop]

Fallout 3's traps. I didn't run into them much, but when I did I'd almost always set them off. Carrying 400 stimpacks around definitely helped though. (come to think of it, maybe it's because I didn't encounter them that often that I'd always set them off...)

And Metro 2033. The trip wires would always get me (yes, so nooby, I know).

 

[Lexodus]

Spoiler: This one

But in all seriousness, timed jumping puzzles are thing that I normally hate. It can often be hard to see where your character is going to land, which results in SPLAT! INSTA-DEATH.

That's right. EVERYBODY's gay for Bridget.

 

[No-Superman10]

I'm amazed that so many of you are crying about the bear traps in RE4, i found that you could knife them if you angled it right.

OT: Claymores and Bouncing Betties in CoD are such a tease, they give you just enough time to say "Oh shi-" then they explode your knees/face.

 

[Mr_spamamam]

Timed mazes. What kind of person puts a time limit on getting out of a maze for christ's sake

 

[SamFancyPants252]

Oblivion's cave traps. God they were nightmares. I run around and see a rat. With a smirk on my face I play with it a bit, blocking but not attacking; Laughing at it's weakness.
Then a piece of wood flies at me from tripping on a tripwire, I lose 99% of health and the rat attacks me and I die.
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[Neikun]

If I find a trap.. I find it very hard to resist triggering it anyway, just to see it.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Can't think of anything. I'll pay attention to anything once I've encountered a trap once. Sometimes I just don't care though, like the huge explosion thingies in Dragon Age. Stupid floor tiles and my dumb party members walking over them.

The trap in Red Dead Redemption where a lady with a stagecoach ask for help and when you go there 4 bandits give you insta death with revolvers.

Actually, they give you a little time for you to hand over your money before they shoot you. Just go into Dead Eye and plant some headshots, pretty easy.

 

[kurupt87]

As soon as I saw this threads title I thought Bridget, glad to see I'm on the same wavelength as you guys.

OT: Mimics obviously, and in any D'n'D esque game where I have failed to level my rogues spot etc skill because I'd rather rank up a more fun and directly useable one, always ends up biting me on the arse.

Generally good at avodiding traps. However "obligatory" traps in games where it is part of a sequence and you basically have to go through it for the story to continue, they get me all the time. Like in Half Life 1 where you get taken down by 2 soldiers.

 

[DigitalSushi]

The traps in cutscenes where a button command comes up and your not paying attention cause its a cutscene.

I used to put the controller down during cutscenes until I played Resident Evil 4, the game was like "FUCK YOU, YOU DON'T GET A BREAK!".
