Your Gaming "oh come the fuck on!" moments

[Unnamedenemy]

Talking to the Council in Mass Effect 2.

"We can't help you that much because your working for Cerberus"

Now this would be the point where I would choose the option that said "ok, I'll stop working for them and work for you." But the game doesn't have this option. Instead I have to accept the following stupid logic:

The Council won't help you that much because you work for Cerberus.
Your working for Cerberus because the Council won't help you.

Now, any person with a shred of common sense will say "Just stop working for Cerberus. That way you can work for the Council. Everyone wins! Well except for Cerberus. But they're a terrorist organization, so screw them."

But no, you have to go along with logic that makes no sense. Because the game says so.

Actually, the logic is more along these lines
Shepard works with Cerberus because the Council won't help
the Council won't help because Shepard works with Cerberus. . .
Oh yeah, they also won't help deal with the REAL bad guys, because they think that Shepard is crazy (not an exaggeration,they actually say something to that effect)

Anyway. . .
my moment would be the final boss of Devil May Cry 4 when replayed on normal. literally every time I took a swing at him he would teleport away in mid-swing. As in, the sword would be halfway to his face, and he would instantly disappear. it took a half an hour for him to kill me, but I never even hit him.
I almost broke my Xbox I was so pissed

Okey, I suck at shooters, but I like funny ones that make me laugh.

The first time I played Serious Sam 2 on "baby" mode it was fine until level 3. I don't recall all what was there, but I'm pretty sure several giant spiders & maube a few cigar smoking cyborg T-Rexes...whatever, there were shitloads of things, small & giant, all coming directly at me & I had only 1 weapon & no backup. I used the Serious Bomb to blow them all to kingdom come, but they all respawned.

A string of my legendary sniping misses. I'll miss, miss, miss, reload, miss, miss, miss, and get killed by my target. Why can't I snipe properly?!

Modern Warfare: when i get blasted to kingdom come by some noobtubing granading douch for the 10th time in a row

HAHA....that was me....


....
..
Just kidding....it happens to us all....more than we care to admit

 

[E-Penguin]

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.

Yeah, that level has made me ragequit too many times to count. Two of the times have caused me to abandon the game for months.

You do know there were guns on the floor? That level was easy. It's the reason I leveled using weapons. I knew I'd lose my god-like tentacle powers.

I DID use weapons, I've won that level before, it's on the replays I fail. The first time I abandoned it I played on "Hard" (bad idea). Last time I lost when there were just 3 GODDAMN SECONDS LEFT.

You know that you can actually counter attack if an enemy attacks you during an execution streak, even if it interrupts your current animation? That helped me tremendously. You can't do it with brutes or spearmen, but they attack less often and I target them first.

Yes I know that and I do use it when I can, but what I was talking about was when you press the attack button with someone highlighted to continue your execution streak and all he does is swing the sword or whatever at them instead of killing them.

As far as I know you have to hold the left stick in the direction of the enemy you want to attack, then press the attack button, even if the enemy is highlighted.

 

[StrangerQ]

There is a lot, but I'll just say this: Super Meat Boy

Spoiler: Or more specifically (Spoiler alert)

The "I Want To Be The Guy/The Kid" level

amen for this..

Super Meat Boy...
The game where OH FUCK! comes in middle air you flying towards sawblade that was out of sight until map moved an inch... then after surviving this just to notice that there is even more fucked up jumps

 

[SalamanderJoe]

On Black Ops I was killed before even re-spawning. To put that into context, chopper gunner kills me, killcam plays, killcam finishes, I'm dead again by the same chopper gunner.

 

[Bobbovski]

When I played the German campaign in Faces of war a couple of british soldiers completly stopped me when I tried to walk through a small park. They had a machinegun that could shoot straight through the park, but my soldiers armed with Karbiner 98k rifles couldn't shoot back... I tried to wait behind cover for the machine gun guy to run out of ammo, I tried running towards them and lobbing grenades at them, I tried to use cover and crawl towards them to get into shooting range, I tried to bypass/flank them by blowing up the walls of the houses next to the park and walking through the houses (but the game wouldn't allow it)... Nothing worked =/

 

[Vivace-Vivian]

New Vegas, and fucking Cazadors.

YES, yes.

The end of Dreamfall : The Longest Journey. It broke my heart.

 

[Doclector]

Any boss that freakin' regenerates. Especially if combined with relentless attacks that force you to stay somewhere you can't attack them from, then it's just I attack, it spams and regenerates, I attack, it spams and regenerates...you get the idea.

Oh, and overlong endings to games riddled with false climaxes. It's not necessarily hard but it is frustrating. The ending to dead rising 2 is a perfect example.

Spoiler

Oh yay, we're about to escape the city! Oh wait. Special gas zombies. Now it's a struggle to get anywhere alive. Fml. Oh look, TK got bit. I guess I should save him, save the satisfaction of taking down his reanimated corpse for next time round...Yay, I killed the bad guy, can I have my end of game and free license to say "screw you story, I'm gonna play me some zombie golf!" What the-TK becomes an extra boss battle if I save him!? To hell with this!

It just drags on and on, always having an end in sight, but never quite actually ending.

 

[Keppler]

You know those blocks in almost every Megaman level ever designed? The ones that go "Booooof! Boooof! Booooof! Boooof!" and they're appearing and disappearing in a certain sequence in time to those noises?

If I ever missed the last block a dozen times in a row, then suddenly miss timed the first block on the next try, that's a bad moment to be in the same room.

Dammit, I'm playing that via xbla at the moment and I've just got to the third level...on normal. As if the news that level 3 is hard on baby mode isn't enough, there's damn giant spiders. Why did it have to be spiders...

 

[castlewise]

Bioshock. The moment was when the main character first uses Adam or whatever. Its just so jarring. They set it up to be very immersing and then out of nowhere you stab yourself with some random syringe. Who does that?

 

[Wutaiflea]

Mine is still, and always will be Oblivion. Every time I bring this up, people try and explain it to me, giving me all kinds of bizarre and utterly random reasons for it, but quite frankly, I do not see the logic- without fail, every time I play it, I find myself thinking it.

Spoiler: Oh no, we have no Emperor, and no one seems to be up to the job

Yeah, except for that sexy Khajiit chick over there. She's the Archmage, Master of the Fighter's Guild, The Gray Fox and Listener of the Black Hand. She's a knight-errant in Leyawiin, a vampire hunter, there's a fucking statue of her in Bruma. She owns homes in every county, is a Knight of the Nine and is grand champion at the arena. She also pretty much just saved the world.

"Nah... we'll just do without".

Fuck you buddy. I'm going to go beat my maid.

 

[Kuriko]

When you're fighting a boss and they KEEP CHANGING FORM.

Example: Sephiroth in FFVII. Or Orphan in FFXIII. <_<;

It's like OMG FUCKING DIE ALREADY.

 

[Doclector]

As for logic failures, how about the use of raven helicopters in Gears of war? I know, they got to get to places, but seriously, I'd say at least eight out of ten of things are shot down.

 

[TyrantGanado]

I remembered another one. The goddamn boss rush level in Devil May Cry 3. It meant having to fight Beowulf again. I was not happy at that prospect since it took me eleventy zillion tries and as many items to beat him. On Normal. On the Special Edition, which is easier.

Fuck. That. Noise.

Thankfully, he was easier second time around but at the time I was about crying with rage.
