Your Gaming "oh come the fuck on!" moments

[RYjet911]

Any football game that registers my passes as going to the player I most DIDN'T want to receive the ball thanks to him being marked by several opponents, when there's another guy set up ready to score if he received it.

That and almost every time I die in COD, although that's more a lag issue anyway.

 

[Nieroshai]

In Assassin's Creed(and 2 and Brotherhood) challenges where you aren't allowed to be detected, and I nutralize a guard with a throwing knife. Even though he wasn't even looking at me, this attack instantly alerts the guard to full red before he dies, thereby making me desynch. What the hell? It doesn't matter if he noticed me at that point, because he died before he could call for help! And half the time there's no way he even knew where the knife CAME FROM! And yet the gun draws no attention unless a guard is already looking at you. It's a GUN! They go BANG! Said bang should ALERT GUARDS WITHIN EARSHOT! And yet apparently guards can't hear a gun going off but can tell exactly the position of a knife thrower by the disturbances in the air!

It honestly seems like the stealth gets shittier and shittier as the series progresses.

Just today, I tried the mission where you save Caterina from the castle. I get a guy with a throwing knife and as I try bum rushing him before he can see me. But when I try to jump on him my character runs about four circle around him while I am mashing X.
It would have been funny if I wasn't so god damned pissed that it was the end and loading up the memory would have caused me to lose thirty minutes of hard work.

I've never had steatlth(other than what i mentioned) or combat problems in the game before, so I'm calling PEBCAK on that one.

Zelda: The Wind Waker.

After (not sure, it's been a while) getting the Master Sword, you have to then find 8 triforce pieces. This is about 15 hours in and after quite a number of other scavenger hunts. Luckily, I was playing on an emulator, so I could just add an action replay code to skip it.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Some of the AC: Brotherhood online.
Seriously? I jump literally about 10 meters off a building to Air Assassinate this guy, and he magically just... hops out of the way? I was feckin' Incognito! Stunned me too, the bastard.

Also when they throw a smoke bomb right as you attack and you end up missing them. That's happen to me so many times. I'm also getting fed up with the morphers. I have to throw a firecracker (Just got templar vision today) and as soon as I do, they stun me with a smokebomb.

When you get firecracker*Usually, keep your distance from the group. Throw a firecracker, watch him throw a smoke grenade, wait a while, kill him.

When you don't have firecracker* If you're in Manhunt, wait for a partner and lock on the guy. If you're not in Manhunt, try to use your radar and a corner. Once the radar lights up, you can kill the guy without the use of Templar vision. Thus, you don't look like a lightbulb to him.

EDIT* My "come on" moment are also with AC: Brotherhood. It's even more frustrating when you use a smoke grenade and it doesn't stun the guy for some reasons. That, and there's always three people or more after me...

This CTFO moment was more in disbelief than anger, and was in Heart Gold. Then entire game, in fact. It seems that by accident I've discovered the most unstoppable team of Pokemon that can beat anything except Red's team.

I breezed through the game in a fairly short amount of time, beating the living tar out of every gym, trainer, and wild Pokemon I saw. I decimated the Elite Four in five minutes. FIVE MINUTES. That's just pissing ridiculous. My Pokemon's levels? Forty, all six of them.

 

[Omegie]

The second was a little funny now that I look back at it. I was playing Morrowind and was running around some mountains when I heard the distinctive and annoying call of a cliffracer. I figured I could outrun it, but then I heard the call multiply. And again. And again. Soon, I'm being followed by about 20 of the little bastards, I'm not wounded, have a few diseases from them, and have no health potions or anything. So I ran to the nearest town, the name of which escapes me, and the guards leap to my aid. Most the guards die, I live, and cliffracers are gone. All in all, a good day. Still annoying to be chased by the incessent "Caw. Caw." of those damn cliffracers though. >.>

FUUUUU-

Thanks for reminding me. Forget creepers, you had to cross the bloody ashlands in sneak mode to avoid these bastards. You couldn't rest because 'there are enemies nearby', even if they were stuck behind a tree several hundred meters back. As long as they were following you, you were handicapped. Bastards...

 

[Duffeknol]

Am I seriously the only person who has never had trouble with Cazadors? Just follow the storyline! No Cazadors, no Deathklaws, no annoying slum town and coughing up 2000 caps to get into New Vegas.

But exploring the Mojave is so much more fun and meaningful than the storyline.

It's even more fun to explore when you've completed at least a big part of the main quest, which makes sure you have some experience and nice guns to accompany you.

Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice

There was one spot where I was approaching a corner. From that corner came a Hunter which I only managed to shoot a couple times before pouncing me. Team mate killed it, I got back up. From the same corner came a Spitter, I shot that no problem. Then came a Boomer. I killed him but for some reason (even though I was far away) I still got vomited on. So the horde comes. Again from the same corner comes ANOTHER Hunter that pounces me. My health is at 26. I start to heal myself. A Spitter comes FROM THE SAME CORNER. She makes acid appear around me. I managed to get my health up to 46. Then a Jockey comes, jumps on to one of my team mates and drives them into another horde. He dies, and there's three of us left. FINALLY, after making it through all that, I proceed to run around that corner where A FUCKING WITCH was standing. I didn't turn off my light when I looked at her, so she got startled and proceeded to incapacitate the three of us left.


Difficulty: Normal

I raged the entire time.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

Many fog of war battles in the various Advance Wars installments. I can't seee anythinhg, but my AI opponent has super XRAY night vision heat sensor radar muguffin, and can see all my rockets. Bastards.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

The final boss of Jade Empire. Paralysis followed by his super-speed thing followed by stabbies. Over and over.
I know you can counter the super-speed thing (unless you run out of focus, curse it all) and heal while paralysed, but still. That guy is a bastard to fight.

Relatedly, Sir Roderick. The guy has a freakin' gun.

 

[Webb5432]

The match-making in MGS: Online.

I was playing survival, was a rank three or four. Everyone else on the team (save one dude) was lower than myself.

In every round, we went up against rank sevens or nines. No joke. Here I tried to be compassionate and allow the noobs to play in my team, and we could only fight far better players. We could count our wins on one hand. And every last one of the experienced players always opened with cussing and laughs of "go home" or "don't bother".

And we had a team killer who would attack us whenever we went up against what they believed we impossible odds. I had to fight them myself to draw their fire away from my teammates. Bloody annoying! (or maybe that was another game...?)


Oh, and CoD:WaW. The last Pacific level where Mr. Sutherland (you're CEO, if you forget) was constantly being shot and blown up at point-blank range from SMGs and grenades. Each time, he only flinched a little bit or just stumbled in a daze for three seconds like someone hit him on the head with aunt Betty's good china. And he never looked for cover! He probably took enough munitions to take out the whole bloody platoon!

And one other: the AI in Halo: Reach. So, they cannot drive worth a crap, but whenever they get onto the turret, the bullets just magically hit targets with mysterious homing abilities? Seriously! I saw the gun being pointed straight (Let's say at 90 degrees out of 180) and the bullets came out from the tip going at an angle of 20 degrees. Get a protractor and imagine that the muzzle is pointed at 90 and aligned along that line, then trace 20 degree line. Yeah. twenty rounds came out like that.

I wonder what cheat the AI is using? (sarcasm)

 

[deonte9109]

New Vegas, and fucking Cazadors.

I despise them more than Deathclaws, which I can easily take down in this game. Cazadors are just a fucking annoyance, I don't go anywhere near mountains in New Vegas now.

Its opposite for me hmm....

OT: Well in general any action FPS (CoD, Halo, etc) where you have to play hide and seek on higher difficulties. Everytime I pop out to shoot somebody I catch a face full of [insert ammo type]. I just love how enemy NPCs have perfect aim.

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

Donkey Kong Country Returns.

The water through the windows. You know what I'm talking about.

But it was more of a "Oh you smarmy bastards..." kind of "Come on!"

Also, I won't spoil anything, but that mine cart level in the volcano world. Hoooly crap. I've never had so much fun dying over and over.

(Oh, and the bonus stage of the first world, I think it's called Platform Panic or something. Awesome.)

I love that game for the sheer amounts of rage it makes me have.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Prototype. protecting a dude behind glass from onslaughts of mutants. fine and dandy, i kill 500 mutants before breakfast...until i discover that my attacks damage the glass too, rendering my sweeping attack with the stretchy claw thing more dangerous to my mission than the enemies.

 

[dashiz94]

Medieval Total war II
I have 521 men, the enemy has 99.
I lose 200+ men. The enemy loses 1

Wow, were you assaulting a castle? That tends to make me lose a lot of men.

 

[CobraX]

Modern Warfare 2 and Super Meat Boy, fuck those games.

I FUCKING. HATE. Pickpocketing in Fallout 3.

I was around 30 hours into the game, around rank 12, when I fast-traveled. You know in fast traveling it shows some stats?

Number of successful pickpockets: 1

I've tried everything. I've worn stealth-boosting clothes, taken off armor, hid a corner for minutes, and only stole weightless or cheap items, and get caught every. Damn. Time.

I invested many points in Sneak, and every point is worthless unless I can get a pickpocket.

I'm with you. I play every Fallout as an Evil SOB Who is Never Seen. You only know I'm there once I've blown your head off with my sniper! But some how every f'in time I try to pick some one's pocket I get caught, wtf?

 

[Goro]

Mario Kart.
Blue Shell.
You can be 4 laps in front, and you will be pounded by lightening, blue shells and the cloud till you are safely back in 12th. And don't get me started on the Multiplayer.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Fighting Liquid Ocelot on top of Outer Haven at the end of MGS4.

A four stage fight in which you cannot regenerate health, but your opponent does after you beat the shit out of him is just... cock. The most annoying bit is the fact that you get caught in his bloody combo attacks and have to WAIT until he's done with the combo to actually block or attack again. What the hell is that? Why the hell do they bring back one of the most AGGRAVATING fights back from MGS1 and supplant them in MGS4 and get the bright idea of making it even more balls annoying?

That fight ranks as my most favourite boss fight ever...

Easily the most nostalgic of all time.

Mine is less with a game and more with a person playing said game.

The game was Battlefield 2142. I was in the middle of the biggest sniper rifle ASS WOOP sessions EVER. In that life I seriously had a 1 to 1 shot to kill ratio (and I fired 32 rounds).
It was fucking awsome, until HE showed up (he shall be known as Leroy). Leroy had obviously looked at the score board and saw that I was kicking way more ass then everyone else, so he decided to go find me and get some of the action.
So he finds me (I'm prone in my epic hideing spot) and he decides to stay with me in order to "help" me. Here's the problem, Leroy is standing up where every one can see him. And within 2 seconds of his arriving, an enemy puts a greade right on top of me (I die, epic kill streak broken).
And after that, the shit hits the fan. Leroy decides that that the enemy who killed us just got lucky and keeps following me EVERYWHERE.
I started that match 32/0. When the round was over, I was 31/20 (I got a negative because I shot Leroy in the face hopeing he'd get the message and leave me alone). "COME THE FUCK ON"

And then, when the match was over, Leroy had the gaul to yell at ME saying things like "you are the WORST fucking sniper ever.""Because of you I didn't get anything that round." and "The only way you could have got those 32 kills was if you were cheating you fucking *****." all because he hadn't gotten a single point.
I LOST IT!

I spent the next 3 minutes cursing his ***** ass out, using every curse, vulgarity, racial, religious, and ethnic slur you can think of, and stringing them together into a tirad that would have made the worst potty mouthed sailor in SATAN'S navy blush! (By the way, Team Speak was on so the entire room heard me, and they were all laughing their asses off)
And then the little pussy went to the Admin, who had heard EVERYTHING, and tryed to get me kicked.

The Admin then turned around and told him to (and I shit you not) "SHUT THE FUCK UP *****".
The Admin then called a vote and the room voted unanimisly to BAN Leroy permenently.

So, I guess everything worked out in the end.
