Whew, safe.....NOT!

Resident Evil 2

"Ah, the nice soothing safe room musi--HOLY FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS MR. X DOING IN THE GOD DAMN SAFE ROOM!"

That was exactly the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of the thread.
The worst part is that up until that point you had been taught that nothing could get you in those little rooms of paradise. Needless to say, I was walking very carefully into the next few safe rooms, with my biggest guns at the ready.

OP: Also, Nintendo has a fairly annoying habit of always making the final boss get back up before dying. The worst one that comes to mind is Majora's Mask. I mean the fucking thing goes through 3 entire transformations before just lying down and exploding with a pathetic low budget sound effect.

Ganon from Twilight Princess wasn't as bad though, even though you fought him through 5 different versions. At least they were fun. And not creepy.

I had the fierce deity mask so majora's mask was nothing XD

TF2, Egypt. I was getting chased by a few guys, so I run into the first defensive spawn area. I think I'm pretty safe, load up on ammo (I was a soldier) I turn to leave, and fight my way out, when I notice that the door is closed. Locked. They had captured the first point. I look up in time to see that the roof was coming down. That was... unfortunate at best.

dodge their attacks and inflect large amounts of DMG.

Yeah, even with just Flux, it was death, usually in quick form.

Though I just have no luck with Canas. Even when the odds are on his side, he always seemed to get hit. Just not my thing, I guess.

It could also be the Hit Rate BS that Fire Emblem has...

Oh my opponent has a HIT of 25%?
This shouldn't be a proOMG WTF!?
WHY THE HELL DID HE HIT!?

 

[Iconsting]

About every second of playing my hunter class in Borderlands.

 

[UnusualStranger]

WHY THE HELL DID HE HIT!?

...And it just so happens to occur at the very time when their HP is EXACTLY the amount of damage they can do at the time.

What really pisses me off is when they somehow manage to hit TWICE!
They really did something wrong with that thing sometimes. I mean, 25% chance means 1/4, meaning that hitting 3 times in a row is absolutely uncanny. HOW!?! What the hell!

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

Since I'm on a monster hunter 3 tangent here it goes.

I was on a basic gathering mission just killing some herbivores when I find only one is in the lake they usually hang out in. I found this strange so I decide to go to the other lake and when I get there they are there and BOOM a Lagiacrus comes in basically a giant alligator that's supposed to be the last boss of the game. I swim away and when I come back having to finish the quest creatures are in the first area. I relax and start gathering. Later the lagiacrus came up behind me and I ran like hell.

Needless to say he is a persistent bugger that I will have no disputes on killing.

P.S. The fact that I was underwater added to the terror.

 

[Chamale]

I was playing Battlefield: Bad Company on Harvest and trying to capture a point, when a tank accompanied by infantry showed up. I blew up the tank with a rocket, and 4 guys piled out. I pulled out a pump-action shotgun and charged, trying to take them out with my close range weapon before they could take me out with their guns. I managed to kill all 5 attackers with shells and stabbings, and I was letting out a war cry when I was sniped. By a friendly.

Too many times in Ikaruga, I've blown up a boss only to get killed by the bullets still on the screen.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I recall playing Ironstorm, turning a corner and clearing a road of enemies. Thinking my job was done, I move forward... Only to lose half my health to a sniper who was behind me the entire time and just was capable of hitting me.

The son of a ***** was hidden, I couldn't see him from the side! I took him out but by that time reinforcements arrived and gassed me to death.

 

[RN7]

I'd have to go with heroic (or whatever the toughest difficulty) of torchlight. I just fight off a horde of zombies, skeletal soldiers and spectres. I have 2 health potions left, a fleeing pet and 2 minions still alive. I see the exit right ahead of me. Then, I shit you not, 1 named mob, and at least 7 spectres come out of fucking nowhere. Every-damn-body I killed came back and roflstomped my face. I couldn't go back to town because I was deep in the level so I had to restart over and over again. I swaer I went down at least 2 levels.

 

[Enigma6667]

Alan Wake. Low on health and out of ammo, I quickly run towards the nearest Safe Haven. It's really close by, and the enemies aren't too close on my tail. Then right as I make it there, the light literally just breaks due to the Dark Presence and the only way to get it running again is a Quick-Time-Event-ish minigame. As I'm trying to start the generator up, the horde of enemies grow closer, seeming like their horde doubled, and the generator won't start.

O_O

 

[Canid117]

So on my first play through of Fallout 3, I was roaming the wastes and I had a crap ton items to sell and was in dire need of stimpaks. I look on to see a nearby bombed town called "Old Olney".

"Oh goody! There surely must be a shop around here."

-_-'

I was so wrong.

Yes Old Olney is not a place for the injured or the faint of heart...

Cougars are sneaky bastards.

You know which game I'm talking about.

HINT: It begins with 'Red Dead'.

Bears can be surprisingly sneaky if you are not actively looking for them.

ts crazy, every time I kill one another one shows up nearby and hunts me down. I literally was attacked by like 15 bears in a matter of a few minutes. God damn their freakin ninja bears.

I was getting ready to shoot an Elk with my trusty Buffalo rifle when a bear came out of no where and killed my horse from right under me. I have to say though. Shooting a bear in the head and leg so that it starts running away from you then chasing it down with your knife feels pretty damn epic. It was even funnier when I had finally caught it and tried to hit it with my knife but I had put it away and forgot to take it back out so Marston just pushed it like you sometimes do to people walking down the street. Funny but annoying after having to chase down the bear a second time.

 

[zyoto12]

I managed to cause one of these one time. My friend and i were playing Halo 2. He was flying around in a banshee. I get the rocket launcher, lock on and fire. He does a a roll or a flip and dodges it. All of a sudden the rocket flies in like a semi-circle and hits him in the other side. BEST SHOT EVER!

 

[Jfswift]

Oh yea, early on in Dead space when you're going into the engineering section to retrieve some device there's a utility elevator. Anyway on my way out several of those creepy bastards were after me and I ducked into the elevator, hitting the button, sighing in relief as most games, normal games the elevator has a kind of invisible wall and you're safe once inside. Oh no, we can't have that hear as not one, but two of those bastards piled in with me and my stupid gun wouldn't line up with their head soon enough.

 

[Buleet]

One time i enabled cheats on my left 4 dead local server and spawned 10 tanks and like 50 witches in the saferoom.

I also said:the saferoom is not as safe as you think.my buds found it funny.

After everyone exept bill was incapped i also enabled god mode for them.so that oll' grandpa bill kan save them all.they also had fun with some witches afterwards.

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

1) Hurray for oddworld!
2) I would have to go for fallout 3, when I stumbled upon that little settlement, aspen or arnet or something, with seemingly sane people, a locked basement and a locked garden shed.
*shudder*

 

[The Flogger]

"Okay guys i think were safe in the fishing hut. We got the flogger goin, the electric barrier on and the windows.....OMG Who's covering the windows!?!?!"

 

[superbatranger]

Rainbow Six: Vegas. I managed to clear a room of 5 terrorists, right until the 6th terrorist(who I did not see) got me with a double tap to the head. That damn guy flanked me. Ouch.

 

[havass]

earphones

Earphones make everything scarier in any game. Every boom, scream, or bullet sound whizzing by is always a "oh Shit" moment.

Not really. Just surprise attacks.
Playing Dead Space nearly halved my lifespan. -.-
