Games just wouldn't be games if they didn't sometimes massively get on your nerves, would they? I think we can safely say that all of us, at some point in our lives, have been annoyed like hell with a video game, or several video games.
This thread is dedicated to those moments where you just think "oh come on!" when something stupidly unlikely, or unrealistic, or retarded, happens in a game to make shit turn against you.
I'll get the ball rolling with one of my most recent ones: in Fallout New Vegas, trying to stealth-and-assassinate my way through an early area full of human enemies. The AI for these guys when finding a corpse is stupid at the best of times, which led to me getting caught out by their retarded patrol pattern of running out of the room, down a corridor, then suddenly hearing my eyes blink or something and legging it back in, tire irons raised above their heads as they'd approach my hiding place, then just as they got to the corner I was hiding behind, they'd turn and leave the room, only to repeat the cycle. There were 2 of them doing this.
So I picked my moment and when they were both turning away from me, I popped out quickly, went into VATS, and popped one in the back of the skull for a 'sneak attack critical' and down the fucker went. The 2nd enemy didn't seem to notice this, or seem to care, and he carried on his retardedly paranoid patrol cycle. When the time came I made sure I acted in the brief time my status was registered as [HIDDEN], popped out, VATS targetted, and fired.
Now this SHOULD, by the game's own logic, have afforded me a sneak attack critical and a 1-hit kill. SHOULD have, if you notice the emphasis on the word 'should'. Instead this guard took miniscule damage, turned and fired directly at me, getting an instant headshot that crippled me.
This was when I reloaded my autosave and literally yelled "OH COME THE FUCK ON!!!" at the game.
