The first time I faced Lord of Earth in Enchanted Arms. The guys got 1000 health and I'm regularly doing several thousand damage each turn. Now being reasonably genre-savvy, I was skeptical but still didn't think I'd be challenged much.
*First turn* I proceed to do my usually-several-thousand-dmg-combo and it hits for......25.
Me = 8o

OK, so picture the scene. You've spent ages painstakingly planning the guard routes and positions on the Costello level in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Your nearly at the end, with no detections at all. There's one more guard to take out before you have 100% sync...
You have no crossbow bolts. Guess a range attacks out of the question.
You slowly sneak up behind him...
Then he turns around and detects you.
WHAT!!??
And the worst part is, even if he did detect me, he was the LAST guard, who the hell is he going to run to? And I killed him less than a second after he detected me!! Stupid game...
Oh well, it makes up for annoying AI with Multiplayer to die for!
EDIT: Heh, didn't notice the poster above who talked about the exact same level. That's creepy!

Naruto Clash Of Ninja Revolution III (Has 2 BS moments)
First is a mission where you play as Kankuro against Hiruko. Controlling Kankuro is incredibly difficult and Hiruko has a poison effect with some attacks that mess with your controls slightly, making it even harder. Also, when Kankuro's puppets get hurt, he loses chakra (but since his puppets are designed to be on the front lines, they will likely always get hurt). Plus, to win this mission, you have to his Hiruko with your special-attack... which is short range. Kankuro is, for the most part, long range. Hiruko is mid-range with very annoying combos... This match took forever.
The second is another bullshit mission that I'm currently stuck on. Play as Demon-Naruto vs. Deidara. In previous games, Demon-Naruto was considered really cheap for wave attacks, long range, speed, etc. In this game, he's nerfed to have almost none of the stuff that made him good. Deidara, on the other hand, is way over powered with ranged attacks that have homing and can also be launched in rapid succession. This leads to him taking nearly 75% of your health down within 4 seconds of the match starting (something no other character in the game can do). Plus he is constantly blocking AND I still have to win with a special.
Is it just me or is this game just poorly designed?

Metro 2033: Getting to the first major 'stealthing' part, with all the instructions to not tread on broken glass, don't knock the cans, extinguish lanterns to hide in shadows, etc., and then finding out that there's no stealth kill on the basic knife.
Seriously? I was all psyched up for a real knife-to-throat stealthing challenge, and I get handed a couple of wussy throwing knives and three guns that alert everybody in the entire bloody Metro with a single shot.

Go into the kitchen and have two people looking towards the room with the radio and two to the front door for the hordes, acting appropriately for Special Infected. Run outside and take down the first tank, then retake the position. After the second tank goes down, get outside the front door and follow behind the rescue vehicle until it opens.brucelee13245 said:
The mission where you infiltrate the big castelo for the second time was pretty annoying for this reason for me, i decided for the purpose of extending how long the game would last me, i'd go for 100% sync, and in this mission you had to get in without being detected. There were quite a few guards posted at the top or end of platforming sections, which arent visable until after they've spotted you, meaning it wasnt possible without trial and error, meaning i had to do that mission about 12 times before i got it, each time wasting about 15 minutes of my life.I Max95 said:
The whole of the Devil May Cry, Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden games until you start treating them like puzzle games. It's like they want you to die at every second turn and have you remember the exact location of every enemy in the game. I still enjoy the latter two though.
In many games the cleric is just a healer. In DnD they can pretty much be just as powerfulas dedicated fighting classes. To hit equal to the rogue (second best), armor equal to the paladin (best), hit points equal to the ranger (one less than fighter/samurai). The difference in the particular duel you described is 2 points to hit and a hand full of hit points. I'd say it would depend entirely on stats and equipment.
And when you start to build a cleric specifically for h2h it can get entirely way too silly. Don't know too much about the spells in 4th edition but as for 3rd: divine power + righteous might + two handed weapon = loads of fun.
There's a reason the cleric and the druid are sometimes dubbed overpowered in DnD, you can pretty much build a party made exclusively out of them.
I assume you're not that familiar with DnD then.Lullabye said:

Well yes, in general I try to blend in, something which is much easier to do with the Eternal Reward (I do love it so). I just hate that general feeling you get sometimes when the universe seems to conspire to against you as a Spy, giving the impression that an otherwise completely oblivious player has suddenly developed psychic powers.rabidmidget said:
I definitely agree with the whole "don't look directly at them" thing though, especially as it combines so nicely with the ability to quickly turn and stab someone on reflex which you naturally pick up through practice.
Every fuckwit in MW2 who takes a shotgun blast to the face and can still knife me in the scrote.
I had a similar experience in GTA 4. I was doing the sniping mission at the construction site. On the roof of the building I decided to climb on the lip of the roof because I couldn't see anything otherwise. Niko then decides to jump over the lip rather than on it. Oh well I'll have to try that again I guess... but wait! Niko lands on the hood of a car and lives! With a small chunk of health left I decide to just carry on the mission. As I cross the street a car hits me. Miraculously I'm still alive with a sliver of health. I frantically race across the street, and to a near by vender. Just before I can buy a hotdog a car jumps the curb and kills me... Damn.Nerdfury said:
Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign, on Veteran... Some of the enemies start shooting after me BEFORE they get around the corner and can see me! The hell is that all about?!
