Infuriating Moments in Video Gaming

[Lance]

Ah video games, how we love you. By pure definition, you are an amusement or past time, and many hours have had us enjoying a play through you, our hobby, for the most enjoyable afternoons. But not everything in a video game amuses someone, there are moments that just want you to grab a controller out of your system and smash into the wall or fling it into your TV. For the purpose of this thread, post moments in video games that have caused extreme rage and would make you murder anyone who comes within a 20 foot radius of you. To be clear, the moments have to be in the game itself, not because the disc was scratched, the controller malfunctioned, your system turned off in the middle of a thunder storm, etc.

I can think of two piss boiling moments off the top of my head. First honor goes to Final Fantasy X against the Evrae boss. FUCK, here I go, going through an RPG that seems like a total cake walk and I get this boss that totally ass rapes me (I didn't level grind before I fought it) and caused me much anger. Takes me like a fucking half an hour to defeat him (and I fight him multiple times), but guess what? HUR HUR, you have to fight enemy soldiers and robots and a bunch of other shit before you can save and get your precious health back. What's that? You wasted most of your healing items in the past fight? Oh, well sucks to be you, guess you have to start the game over and level grind to defeat me easily. God, that made me so mad I had to bash my head into the nearest wall about 10 times.

Second goes to Halo 2. Now this doesn't have to do with me sucking that much, but I was going through that one level before you fight Regret, so I get in a Warthog and have two marines get in the other seats (blah blah blah). So when I get near the end of the tunnels, I get hit by a rocket mounted by a grunt. "Huh, well that sucks, guess I'll just have to go to the last check point. Wait a god damned second... IT SAVED RIGHT BEFORE IMPACT?" So I get to see my fellow marines get blown up by the rocket about 20 times and watch myself get smashed by the warthog about 20 times. Wasn't really that infuriating since the level wasn't that long, but it sure was bullshit.

Discuss.

[Matterialize]

Mass Effect. Truly, I have never had more of a love/hate relationship with any game than this. The fight with Benezia is extremely glitchy - and there's a shit-long cutscene with a couple unskippable parts, and it auto-saves before that. Also, you can't save during combat. If you die, you have to go back and watch the whole damn thing over again. And I did, because it kept giving me an odd glitch so that I could only move along one axis with the keyboard, and my character model wouldn't move. Couldn't attack anything, so I just kept getting killed. Ended up winning a glitch-free fight on my 3rd or 4th try, but damn, I'm skipping that planet next time.

[hardcoresk8r69]

Condemned 1 had me pulling my hair out at the last battle. I pretty much rushed through this game but I was really enjoying it at first until I noticed it was the same thing over and over. By the last act I was so tired of it and I just wanted to finish the damn game. So after about an hour of playing I got to the final battle but I didn't have a weapon. Wasn't all that bad because there was a pipe in front of me except for one flaw; you couldn't pick it up. I was in a battle without a weapon. I looked online to see if it was a well known glitch and if there was a way around it. The only way was either starting the act over(and going through another hour of the same shit) or go back to a saved game. Well it would've been nice if I actually saved in that act! I haven't touched the game since.

I guess I could've dodged this if I saved more often but something as big as a glitch in the final boss fight just made my blood boil.

[MrDoctor]

. The fight with Benezia is extremely glitchy - and there's a shit-long cutscene with a couple unskippable parts
That shit pissed me off so much. I tried her as the first planet so I was pretty weak and she killed me like maybe 40 times. I had to keep watching that stupid ass cut scene over and over again.

The only other thing I can think of was Insane difficulty on Gears. It was absolutely impossible alone. The difficulty level goes from hard on the difficulty below and then a brick wall on insane.

[Dodger]

Pokemon, because unless you pick Squirtle or Bulbasaur(meaning your gay) then you have to catch a Caterpie and raise it to a Butterfree to beat Brock. Not that it's necessarily hard but it's a fucking pain, battling Rattatas with a Metapod to get 3 exp per battle.

[Benjaman]

In Oblivion, I always hated it when I would have so much awesome crap that I wanted to take home, but the only reason I wasn't encumbered was the Grey Fox mask, which inevitably made the guards attack me. So, one time I traveled back to my house about 20 health away from death, and had to take off the mask, wait for the guards to walk away, put it on, walk like 2 feet, take it off, and etc until I was sick of it and just dropped 200 pounds of my stuff on the ground, only to see it glitch through the sidewalk. I reloaded my game, only to see that my autosave was me traveling to my house, and the normal save was about 4 hours of gameplay before it. :argh:

[TheHighwaySong]

Or barely beating all 8 gyms and getting to the Elite Four, only to get your ass kicked by the first Elite and realizing you need to train your Pokemon by about 10 more levels.

[HipHipHooray]

Rogue Galaxy, for the PS2. The final boss battle is insanely hard. There are 8 characters that you use, and you must use each once. Each battle goes from 5 - 10 minutes. There is no saving in between battles.

I managed to reach the final FINAL battle, and I had full health. I got the boss down to about 5% health, and then she unleashed some massive attack that one hit killed me! When that happens in games, I absolutely refuse to play them again for a while... So I still haven't beaten the final boss.

The "honour" for the cruelest game though, goes to Fire Emblem... Any one of the titles. You'll have a unit with full health, and an enemy will approach you. It has a 2% chance of hitting a critical, and guess what? IT HITS A CRITICAL. So you have to restart the level.

Or when you approach an enemy, and have a 90% chance of hitting. You miss. You think "Damn." The enemy goes to retaliate, and only has a 10 - 20% chance of hitting... AND HITS! FUCK.

[Akvod]

No the worst is in Yellow when you HAVE to pick Pikachu =/ now that made me get a fucking head ache.

[AnOddRant]

Dark Cloud (PS2)- I don't know if anyone has played this game or not (I found it at a pawn shop for 3$), but it is pretty low budget. So i start playing and notice a few glitches, nothing big so i thought i'd keep playing. After about and hour, I hit a glitch right after a boss that keeps me from moving at all, when i have to move to get the fucking slingshot, so i have to reload the damn game/level, only to get the glitch again! I threw the game away.

Gears of War (360)- Insane difficulty made me smash my 3rd xbox headset.

God of War (PS2)- The hardest difficulty was cake the entire game through until the last room, which is before Pandora's Box. I died about 30 times until i gave up.

[Graft]

Any time in GTA IV after you spend twenty minutes on a mission that mostly involves long drives, and then dying at the end of the mission due to something out of your control.

Also, yellow version, where you have to take Pikachu, as stated before. Fuck that yellow rat.

[bono]

Dont know if anybody remembers a game called Moon Crystal for the NES. The final boss is crazy, I am playing it at the moment and you beat him once and he changes so you beat him again and you think you're done. Nope, you go through to the next room and he is bigger and badder than before and so you beat him again and he fucking changes but I got no little fucking hearts left!!! How the hell did I beat this game in the past with no ability to save?

Secondly Final Fantasy 7 when you fight Ruby Weapon in the desert. Sit and fight the bastard for over an hour and he whips 2 of your characters out the battle completely and you stand there like David and Goliath. Except in this case Goliath stomped the shit out of me many times before I dropped him. It was extremely annoying to die after you've spent over an hour fighting one stupid thing I had to invent new swear words because I ran out of my usual colourful vocabulary.

[CharlieH]

Guitar Hero 3 - Though The Fire and Flames - Expert.

[Chips]

I also had beef with one of the God Of War games. Can't remember if it was the first or second, but I got to a this stage where it was the last room in the tower/fortress/whateverthefuckitwas. I save hastily (on extremely low health mind you) thinking I could just find some health later on.

Sadly as I said, it was the last room in the damn area. So basically, I'm fighting 20-30 monsters in this room with conveyer belts which push me towards giant grinders on the walls in all different directions.

I have these fire bat things dive bombing me every few seconds while archers fire fire arrows at me again every few seconds and I'm getting pushed and pulled back and forth into the grinders.

I nearly put a hole through my wall. Every time I'd die, I'd start with that miniscule shit brick of health and have to go run the gauntlet again. God damn. But I loved the God Of War games.

[Ivan]

Any time in GTA IV after you spend twenty minutes on a mission that mostly involves long drives, and then dying at the end of the mission due to something out of your control.

I agree, the bank heist mission was terrible because of that, they needed to put checkpoints in. I ended up having to use the health cheat to pass it...

[bono]

GTA 4 for the same reasons stated above but I reckon the bike missions pissed me off the most. When you chasing some twat and he hops on a bike I feel like pissing all over the tv because the bikes are shit in GTA 4. The bank heist was rough as well, I swore and cursed so much through that and only found out afterwards that you can actually buy body armour. That would have stopped my blood pressure from going through the roof if I knew that before doing the bank heist!

[Sirnogbert]

I don't know why people are complaining about Pokemon yellow, you can get all the starter pokemon in it so you've got a decent team that's easy to get.

One thing that does infuriate me about the Pokemon series is the HM system. Most of the HM moves are shite, and they can't be forgotten the normal way. Just give me an item that I can use to get past these stupid obstacles instead of wasting move spaces.

[Kwanza]

I don't know why people say this when the bikes are much more forgiving than the older games.

There's a point in every single Splinter Cell game that becomes so utterly infuriating I stop playing. That's why I've never beaten any of them. It's not about using real strategy in that game, it's about having to predict what the game is gonna decide to do and when the AI decides to see you regardless of your awesome plan. Fuck.

The bikes are forgiving? I suppose in some ways they are but what's annoying and frustrating is that you chase some bugger for a long time only to hit something and come off while he makes his escape! I found the bikes in San Andreas far more forgiving because once your skill level was high enough it's not easy to come off!

[opn4bzns]

Extremely aggressive team swapping, which still somehow manages to leave teams horrendously stacked combined with stepping from behind something and getting rocket critted in the face, half the team being useless snipers and the other half being useless medics trying to get achievements drove me away from Team Fortress 2.

[Chaplin]

I was trying to catch a missingo in Pokemon: Silver, I had just beat the Elite Four for the second time and was completing my Pokedex and after I found Missingo, my Gameboy shut off and my file was deleted.
I broke my Gameboy in two.

[Urser]

Back when I was younger, I played the Age of Empires demo. The team on the other side of the map always advanced so quickly and whenever you caught up, it was still nearly impossible to win because of some super-priest that would always convert your people. It was almost impossible!

Also Scarabania and Paramonia in the Oddworld games were so hard to get past. I'd always just reset the game at that point and play back up to it.

[HipHipHooray]

I also had beef with one of the God Of War games. Can't remember if it was the first or second, but I got to a this stage where it was the last room in the tower/fortress/whateverthefuckitwas. I save hastily (on extremely low health mind you) thinking I could just find some health later on.

I've also got beef with this game. The first one in fact. When you're in hell and there's the massive tower with spikes protruding. If you even touch a spike, you fall all the way back to the bottom again. It took me like 5 minutes to climb it. I finally reached the top, only to realise there was another fuckin tower!

[spaj]

Mass Effect. Truly, I have never had more of a love/hate relationship with any game than this. The fight with Benezia is extremely glitchy - and there's a shit-long cutscene with a couple unskippable parts, and it auto-saves before that. Also, you can't save during combat.

And I did, because it kept giving me an odd glitch so that I could only move along one axis with the keyboard, and my character model wouldn't move. Couldn't attack anything, so I just kept getting killed. Ended up winning a glitch-free fight on my 3rd or 4th try, but damn, I'm skipping that planet next time.

Holy shit, I ran into so many bugs in that fight as well.

I remember during the fight after I killed the first wave of Asari warriors, I would level up. So once I head over to my Party screen to allocate points, the moment I exited my character froze. But not just my character, my entire effing interface froze as well, so I had to ctrl+alt+del out of the game like four times before I realised I had to avoid the temptation of a level up before I could fight her again. I wasted like 25 minutes dying four or five times in a row cause of that stupid-ass glitch before I killed her on my 6th try :argh:

Also, lately I've been finding Super Smash Brothers Brawl to be ridiculously infuriating. The Final Event with giant Mario, Snake, and Sonic is virtually impossible to do on hard - I don't know what the hell the devs were smoking but you can't beat that event with pure skill. I tried for 2.5 hours in a row and couldn't beat it. Every time I was close to winning it was because Giant Mario had accidentally fallen off the side of the stage cause he's enormous.

Yeah but trying to beat Brock with your Electric-type Pokemon? Fucking ridiculous. And I agree with the HM moves. Whirlpool and even Rock Smash in RSE fucking suck. At least now since RSE you can delete HMs which comes in handy after you learn to Fly to every city.

There's a point in every single Splinter Cell game that becomes so utterly infuriating I stop playing. That's why I've never beaten any of them.

I can totally relate to this. I downloaded Pandora Tomorrow and reached a point somewhere in the Middle East I think and just stopped playing because I pretty much dug myself into a hole I couldn't get out of and I did not want to start the mission over in any way.

[Akvod]

Pandora Tomorrow was the worst (I haven't played the Next Gen version of DA though, and I only heard bad things), since some levels like the Jerusalem level was like a platform level.

[AnOddRant]

Another moment in gaming that pissed me off to no end was both of the Kingdom Hearts games.

In the first one it was insanely hard to even beat the first riku, then after you beat him you have to beat a dragon, then riku again, who was fucking imbossible to beat.

On kingdom hearts II it pissed me off when my attempt to get the mickey stamp on all of the jiminy files is impossible to get because i forgot to talk to some old guy in the beginning of the game, just so i can get his character file.

I was pissed. About 200 hours of my life wasted for nothing.

[peteaboda1]

The bikes are forgiving? I suppose in some ways they are but what's annoying and frustrating is that you chase some bugger for a long time only to hit something and come off while he makes his escape! I found the bikes in San Andreas far more forgiving because once your skill level was high enough it's not easy to come off!

The worst was when you had to ride the bike along the coastline where you can't control it as well, and then right before a ramp I would hit some fucking bump in the dirt that I couldn't see, completely lose all speed, and not be able to make the jump. What added to this frustration? I got to replay about 5 minutes of gunfights just to try again. Fucking bastard of a mission :argh:.

Oh I also ended up selling GTA4 not long after.

[MaxAlcolo]

Prince Of Persia : Warrior Within on the PS2.
I simply can't get to the final boss. The time portal won't active whatever I try to do.
I've tried starting from the beginning many times, but I'm always stuck there.
If I remember correctly it's after the fight against the princess or something.

[Sarge51]

No the worst is in Yellow when you HAVE to pick Pikachu =/ now that made me get a fucking head ache.

Actually, all I do (and ever do) is level up Pikachu to where he can use Quick Attack and catch one pokemon in that last patch of grass before you get to Pewter City. (Is it Pewter? or something else?) Then get him to level 8+. But once you get to Misty you feel invincible with your Pikachu just ass raping her pokemon with electrical attacks.

My Pokemon related frustration has to be going through any caves. No matter where you go you're bound to get caught in a battle every three steps. Especially at the beginning of the game, due to the lack of repels. It's bad enough they have about 30 people put in weird places to taunt you and keep you from reaching the end. and don't get me started on pitch black caves, especially the ones from the older games. You know the ones where you can still kind of see, but using flash doesn't really help too much either.

I know your pain about Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Those two places you have to go to to and prove yourself to get the powers of Shrykull. It took me YEARS to get passed that part. Literally! I just got passed that part without cheats like 5 months ago! So many frustrating puzzles and mines and lasers and slogs!

and most recently COD4. Damn you "Mile High Club" achievement. Damn you flash bangs not effecting everyone in the room. and damn you guys hiding behind passenger seats and popping out as soon as I run in!

[RaveRaveRave]

So true, i loved the games but never finished them :/.

As said before, the bikes on gta4 were pretty awful and also the missions that take fucking ages but it all consists of driving - and you die right at the end in some freak sorta accident. Bullshit.

Halo 2 and 3 online has got me so pissed off words cannot describe, but i've not played it (Halo 3) properly for about 4 months now. Happy days.

[Quadros]

I spent about 6 months on Metroid Prime getting Mecha-Ridley down to 1% health and then dying. Fuck you giant mechanical space-dragon. Fuck you.

[Kevosk]

Tony Hawk's Underground for PS2. Doing it on Sick difficulty and getting to the last challenge against Eric is rewarding, right? Starting your line is great, you start hitting everything, nothing's going wrong, even your balance meter is in the middle still... oh, what's this? Oh that's nice, Eric can drop fire while grinding!? So then I bail, and fall from this 20 foot tall wire that I can't get onto, so by the time I go back to a place I can get onto the wire from... Oh, I'm out of time! I was so tempted to just break my controller in half and never touch a game again.

[ToastmasterAlpha]

The World is Not Enough 007 for N64. I've been stuck on the same level for the last four years. In the mission Turncoat, there is a point about 3/4 of the way through where you must jump from one rooftop to another. I have never made that jump. Most of the walkthroughs and strategy guides I've read just treat it like it's no problem at all, and the few that do mention it as a potential trouble spot just suggest backing up a bit more. Furthermore, in what I believe was the fault of the video game gods just to spite me, DieHard has successfully completed this mission. His advice? Back up more. Fucker.

[this is not a post]

and most recently COD4. Damn you "Mile High Club" achievement. Damn you flash bangs not effecting everyone in the room. and damn you guys hiding behind passenger seats and popping out as soon as I run in!

Ugh. That bastard epilogue must have taken me about 5 hours. Every time I got close, one guy would take up all my MP5 clip or stolen P90, or as you say, the flashbangs never working

What made it worse was that a little before I finished it, on my 3rd before last go or something, my friend came online, and we went into a private chat. I told him how hard it was, and he said 'I'll give it a go then', and proceeded to beat the fucker in 20 minutes. And he's shit at CoD.

[cptlol]

In Oblivion, I always hated it when I would have so much awesome crap that I wanted to take home, but the only reason I wasn't encumbered was the Grey Fox mask, which inevitably made the guards attack me. So, one time I traveled back to my house about 20 health away from death, and had to take off the mask, wait for the guards to walk away, put it on, walk like 2 feet, take it off, and etc until I was sick of it and just dropped 200 pounds of my stuff on the ground, only to see it glitch through the sidewalk. I reloaded my game, only to see that my autosave was me traveling to my house, and the normal save was about 4 hours of gameplay before it. :argh:

Your health returns when you use auto-travel??
Oblivion pissed me off, because I played it on the hardest possible which lead to me being in 1 gate for 1hour per gate and then some fucktard plays it on easy and he runs trough it in 10minutes. Fuck, them, seriously.

Also; pokemon pissed me off, because Lapras and Snorlax are my favourites and you get them both at a shit low level(15 and 30) and it then takes fucking ages to get them to a decent level, because all trainers are dead and the only training left are those fucking grassy areas.

Halo 2 & 3.
I fucking hate both games, they should've totally kept it to Halo: Combat Evolved. Halo 2 and Halo 3 sucked assraping cock.

Command and Conquer: Generals Zero Hour.
Challenges on Hard(whatever the toughest was) your base gets hit by a superweapon after what? 3-5minutes. WHAT THE FUCK.

[Sirnogbert]

Yeah but trying to beat Brock with your Electric-type Pokemon? Fucking ridiculous. And I agree with the HM moves. Whirlpool and even Rock Smash in RSE fucking suck. At least now since RSE you can delete HMs which comes in handy after you learn to Fly to every city.

Meh from what I remember you can catch a Mankey before Viridian Forest, makes Brock fecking easy

I spent about 6 months on Metroid Prime getting Mecha-Ridley down to 1% health and then dying. Fuck you giant mechanical space-dragon. Fuck you.

My game is in several pieces due to this exact fight. I'm a childish cunt.

[BKS]

Two words describe the bane of my childhood.

"Zergling Rush."

Everyday I'd play that game, and whether by God's design or genetics, I wasn't Korean. Therefore, I could never quite win many games. I'd go Zerg, they'd go Terran and get Goliaths in the opening 3 minutes, slaughtering my attempted Zergling rush of my own.

I'd go Protoss, oh wait, my bad, Protoss suck.

I'd go Terran and yep, sure enough, my 8 bunkers filled with marines and firebats couldn't kill the Zerglings. Fuck Blizzard, but I love them so.


Another Blizzard coronary was The Butcher. I'd always play and get up to him, only to have my ass handed to me. Little did I know I could restart with the same character, so I literally spent months trying to beat the one guy. It was fucking ridiculous.



The one thing about COD4 that pissed me off was the apparently random Checkpoints throughout the game. I've beaten it on Veteran, and towards the last few levels, theres this one hallway I have to fight my way down, and then another before the time expires.
Except the game wouldn't give me a checkpoint once I cleared the first hallway.

I played that damn spot over 30 times, only to finally get one and soon after, beat the game. I was contemplating suicide.

[Benjaman]

Your health returns when you use auto-travel??

It isn't if you only fast travel a few in game yards

[Pelican Man]

Final Fantasy X-2 was a hate of mine. I got to the final world or whatever, I'm owning all the monsters there, though I'm not at an overly impressive level. I get to a save point and save. Then I fight a boss who's stupid hard considering the level I was at was enough to demolish the normal monsters, yet seems to be way short of beating that boss.
So I try and go back to fight the normal monsters to level up. The fucking path is blocked. I can't beat the boss, and I can't go back and level up. Fuckity fuck fuck.

[Lag]

Team Fortress 2, actually, just playing as Spy for a period of time. Holds some of the most rewards but sometimes people and bugs just set up in the exact right position to fuck you up and down before you die once.

And basically all of Ninja Gaiden.

Oh Hell yes!! I managed to smash into one guy I was chasing and I went flying through the windshield and over his car and over a cliff (sort of) and naturally there was no way to catch up to him. That pissed me off. They dont even give you an option to wear a seat belt.:bangkill:

[DieHard]

The World is Not Enough 007 for N64. I've been stuck on the same level for the last four years.

Furthermore, in what I believe was the fault of the video game gods just to spite me, DieHard has successfully completed this mission. His advice? Back up more. Fucker.

I had the same problem, I died on the jumping part about 23 times. I told you, you just have to back up as much as possible and run and jump. Also speaking of this game, the last level was fucking impossible. You have to SWIM THROUGH A FUCKING SHIP THAT'S COMPLETELY UNDERWATER and to make things better, there's a time limit and you can't tell where the fuck you are going

[Graft]

I agree, the bank heist mission was terrible because of that, they needed to put checkpoints in. I ended up having to use the health cheat to pass it...
I didn't have a health problem on it but I got about a block from Packies house in a nearly destroyed car when I get blindsided. The car broke down, but didn't explode. So I get out and start running for the finish. One guy follows me, but the other just stands there. I stole like six cars trying to get him to come with me, but he just stood there. Finally I went on a rampage and got killed by a cop.
I spent about 6 months on Metroid Prime getting Mecha-Ridley down to 1% health and then dying. Fuck you giant mechanical space-dragon. Fuck you.

Fuck. I completely forgot about that game. I just block that horrible experience out.

[Desert]

Team Fortress 2, actually, just playing as Spy for a period of time. Holds some of the most rewards but sometimes people and bugs just set up in the exact right position to fuck you up and down before you die once.


I've had those problems. The pyro infestation. It's died down a little bit but I've had to quit surf and orange map servers because they're all pyros. I'm only doing 2fort, dustbowl and gravelpit now.

[Muffin man]

Playing Warcraft 3 on the hardest difficulty. I was on the mission where you have to protect Kel'Thuzad for 30 minutes, where the actual mission is 29 minutes of boredom and then the last minute everything is thrown at you, lets just say Kel'thuzad died with 5 seconds left on the clock.
Also my friends were talking about Metal Gear Solid, not sure which one as I haven't played the series, think it's 1 or 2, where the game asks you use the CD Case. Apparently my friend spent ages trying to find this item in the game or something similar to find out the answer is actually on the back of the game case!

[NitRoDrivEn]

Metroid - You're a god damned rat in an enormous maze. No maps, no hints, no fucking clue on what you're doing. Have fun.

Gradius 3 - It's all good fun up until level 7, where things get out of control. Game all of a sudden gets brutally fast-paced and HARD! Die once and you lose all your power-ups, which at later portions basically means: GAME OVER NOOB. Even if you had 19 extra lives, there's no chance of you surviving two seconds against tough enemies with your weak weapon and maneuvering through fast oncoming obstacles with your slow speed. You basically lost the game and you better accept it shut the fucking SNES off before you lose your sanity.

Daikatana - how on Earth are you supposed to escort someone when the computer characters are basically programmed to get themselves killed?

Battletoads - has anyone gotten past level 3? It's a safe bet that 95% of you didn't. It's also safe to bet that you all got so incredible frustrated that your screaming cracked the windows and deafened your siblings.

Karate Kid - Yes, I know AVGN. I played this game before his review came out, and oh my god does it infuriate. Just read his review, you'll see what we mean. Better yet, play it.

This one recently came up, those forensic investigations in Condemned: Criminal Origins can just fuck themselves in the ass. Not because they're difficult, but when I'm on Hard mode and try to follow paths of blood with the camera and the UV lights (amongst other things) whoops out of fucking no where 3 people jump me and rape my ass with a pipe and shotgun. Trying to take a picture of an important plot element? WELL FUCK YOU, it's your damned fault you can't take a picture and attack someone with a sledgehammer at the same time. Even more frustrating is to focus onto the things that are bright green. Gee, thanks, that's real helpful for a person whose colorblind.

[loooongcat]

God of War II: There was a platform with two Cyclopses, which I beat, and then a kinda leaning platform with a gate. The only problem is, one does not simply open a gate in God of War; you have to mash the same button so many times your thumb is permanently indented. I gave up on the game, because of this one fucking gate.

Super Mario Bros. Dying on the first Goomba.

EA online on a PSP. You can't sign up unless you're in America, because the stupid EA people just assume that post codes are the same the world round.

[Mystrangy]

I dont get why all you people are attacking Metroid Prime 3, that game was fucking easy. If you follow clues, scan alot and remember places where you needed your new power-ups you will, like me only get stuck like 2 or 3 times.

And Mecha Ridley, what the hell? I died once there because i didn't understand how to do it.

Twilight Princess, sure awesome game and such, but when you get to Zora Domain and need to catch that damned fish, i nearly threw my controller on the screen. The manual didn't tell you shit about how you catch fish because it didn't tell you how to know when the fish is hooked. Also the puzzle outside the temple of time where you have to move the statues right.

Super Smash Bros Melee when you play the missions or objectives or whatever, and get to the mission where you have to fight an enemy with your friend, but you have to get the last hit, and your friend has to be alive. I got so pissed wheni finally shot the enemy out, just to see my friend pop up and shoot him with the weakest shot ever and i lost again.

Star Ocean Second Story. In that game on several occasions you can do side quests to get characters as friends, but if you get some, you cant take some others of them. Anyways i missed the side quest to get Ashton, the coolest guy in the game who used dual swords, had two dragons on his back and has a wooden barrel fetish. I realised it after i was halfway through the game.

There are more games, but i have blocked out the worst of them from my mind.

Bleh, it's true, but one thing I despise about Metroid 3 - and which has totally let me down - is the fact that they make you do the whole 'find important shit items all around the universe and waste 3 hours of life wandering through repetitive, boring and pointless worlds until you collect all of them so you can progress!' It fucking infuriates me to no end. I can't believe they're making me do this for the THIRD time. I beat Omega Ridley two days ago with no trouble but I've completely quit the game now because of these retarded energy cells.

[NitRoDrivEn]

Umm... just FYI, Metroid Prime 3 toned down on the exploration and wandering and put more emphasis on straightforward action. They were aiming at making it a bit more "mainstream" (you know, closed-ended brainless shooting?) for sake of not being overshadowed by Halo for a third time. But at the same time, they didn't want to kill their own franchise by removing what makes a Metroid game a Metroid game. If you don't like exploration and puzzle-solving, then you don't belong in Metroid territory. You seem more of a Halo guy. "Finding important shit" and "wandering" and "discovering" in a massive, yet uneasy alien world is what Metroid is all about. Gamers who appreciate low-octane, brainy games find Metroid to be at the top of the league. If you rate a games biggest pro down as a con, then you know for SURE that you're playing the wrong game.

My grife personally was with the original on NES. It was absolutely merciless. They hid important items in places you couldn't even imagine and gave you no clues or any help what so ever.

[spacemonkey187]

The bath house in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory had two sections that had me almost in tears. The shower room where the enemies have thermal vision... you know the room I mean... and the boiler room where Sam has to defuse the bombs whilst avoiding the thermal vision guards.
Danced a f**kin' jig when I beat that!

[NickTNT]

In Delta Force:Black Hawk Down me and my brother were playing co-op, and the rest of our AI controlled team were strolling down the street minding our bussiness and killing terrorists, when all the sudden we get a checkpoint and get killed by an RPG a few seconds after. The whole team dies and whenever we restart from the last checkpoint we keep dying. (And I know this is the same thing that happened the the first poster in this thread.)

And trying to get the Mile High achievment in COD4.

Oh yeah? I couldn't get past the very first time you have to fish. As in, the first fucking town.

Anyway, God Of War 1, Hades, those fucking spinning pillars with blades on them that you have to dodge while traversing upwards.

And (I think) the 3rd Prince Of Persia game where you have to wall run then swing, wall run a bit more, swing a second time, more wall running then somehow get to a platform that you launch off. I never touched that game again.

Don't get me wrong, I love Metroid. I'm not an FPS gamer at all and I still managed to take a liking to the Prime series, so I'm not reluctant to explore and adventure. Platforming - which incorporates a lot of the two - is my favourite genre so its not too much of an issue.

But MP3 just seemed a little disappointing anyway, despite the fact it was still as 'fun' as the previous two. What it did bring to the table was a completely new style of gaming (ie the Wiimote), which did take a couple of hours to get used to and was totally worth it - it was really fun, no denying that. But I felt a lot of it was recycled. It wasn't challenging (ok, Veteran isn't supposed to be that hard, but still), the puzzles were straightforward, the story was predictable, only a few boss fights were crafty and/or difficult (Both Ridley fights and the Defense Drone [well, that was difficult for me at the time cause my FPS aiming was still a little rusty]).

'Collecting things' still failed to prove useful to me really. Why have so many missile expansions when you can re-fill missile ammo quickly; where do you even need to use them? They're slow and less effective than beams in boss fights, Metroids dodge them half the time and the rest of the enemies are weak enough to kill without them anyway. What was the purpose of ship missile expansions? Why am I told to collect energy cells to progress when I had to do the exact same thing in the first two games? The worlds you have to go through are places you've already explored to death and lose their appeal, lacking respawns of newer enemies (with the odd Metroid Hatcher or Phazoid thrown in there to annoy you). Why not respawn unimaginably horrible enemies and new bosses on previous worlds which would don energy cells?

I think the first Metroid Prime did it correctly. It was fresh and new; more beams to choose from (compared to MP3, which gave you virtually no choice), more visors to work with (again, compared to MP3 - if you can't scan it or command it, it has to be invisible :rolleyes:), comparatively tougher fights - oh, not to mention missile expansions were actually immensely helpful when you had to fight Ridley near the end. Exploring, I suppose, hasn't changed much in either game - they all offer completely different worlds so that I don't mind.

Right, that was a ridiculously long rant. Don't get me wrong though, I still think it's a pretty good game and it's fun (just not so much compared to the previous two) :lol: Maybe I should avoid playing Metroid Prime after Mass Effect, next time...

My grife personally was with the original on NES. It was absolutely merciless. They hid important items in places you couldn't even imagine and gave you no clues or any help what so ever.
I agree with this, yeah. The first few Metroids seem to be a lot more brutal and challenging than the Prime series.

[jekyllmcgee]

I didn't have much reason to be upset, but I couldn't help it when playing Postal 2. I had just finished my confession with the priest when the terrorists took over the church. I managed to light a few people on fire and clear the rooms to the main lobby. I was waiting there with the priests to engage in a firefight with the terrorists waiting outside. I burst open the front door, when AHHH, a terrorist rocket comes flying straight towards me from across the courtyard. I didn't have enough time to move, so I died and started the whole tedious day over again. I knew the game had grenades and molotov cocktails, but I had no idea it ever had rocket launchers!

Oh well, not a big deal compared to what you all went through. :banjo:

[Melon]

Silent Hill 3. I was very unused to the SH series then, couldn't be bothered with melee weapons and used up all my ammo before getting to the first boss.

The first boss is fucking easy

UNLESS you've used up all your ammo. And you kept saving over previous save files. So you have to redo the entire fucking mall and this time, collect ammo.

Most frustrating moment ever. I spent an hour trying to work out how to get near it to beat up with a pipe. I was such a noob.

[Alidog02]

playing lost odyessy fighting that annoying ass boss with the two floating shields and the double casts and then leaving and going to numara only to be kill by the giant fucking dinosaur cause he uses an attack that takes away half my health two times in a row.... Then realising there were absolutely NO CHECKPOINTS BETWEEN THE TWO. I haven't played it since


COD4... Playing SnD and constantly being killed by randomly thrown gernades. SOOOO annoying. Playing team deathmatch and spawning and being killed and then spawning only to be killed by an air strike or heli then spawning taking two steps and getting sniped. But it also gives me the most pleasure when you run into one of those occasional just plain AWFUL teams and get over 50 kills in one game and maybe 2 deaths. Also on overgrown my secret snipe spot that has a perfect view of the snipe spot by the bridge. Not so secret but it always gets me a lot of kills haha.

[Sarge51]

Try the ending of Assassin's Creed. Where you end up having to fight so many guards that all you can really do is hold that right trigger and use as many counter moves as you can until all the guards are dead. I spent an hour trying to fight this one person. Two archers and tons of guards. I didn't stand a chance. I ended up having to scare the archers down, and end up doing the counter method over and over. Until the last boss was left, in which I just eventually knocked down and sliced with my hidden knife.

[Sarge51]

That was easy. I went through all that without dying once.

I have no idea how. I ended up having to run around in circles A LOT to regenerate synchronization. But it really was worth it in the end. Now I can just run around assassinating everyone I see without losing synchronization. Totally worth all the hate and guard chases I went through.

[Cyan]

Playing Guild Wars and working on my explorer title, I decided to explore the whole Beacons Perch to Camp Rankor area. I grapped my henchmen and everything went fine untill I got to Dreadnought's Drift. I got killed a few times and the Death Penalty was adding up, but I decided to keep going. I kept getting killed by those dwarves over and over again, but eventually I found out that if I focused on one at a time I'd get them down one after one, death after death..

Also, Thunderhead Keep before it got nerfed and I was a total noob.

[SpamMeHarder]

In COD4 campaign, when I throw a few noob tubes out at the terrorists, and they just hit them. They don't explode or anything, they just hit them in the crotch, and they keep shooting at me.

[BreakTheWalls]

Doing the 100 people challenge in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Apart from trying to top my high score in Geometry Wars, this was the only occasion where it had me up all night swearing after every time I die after 4 minutes of successful 99 kills only to have the last douchebag finish me off.

Playing any fighting game on the hardest difficulty is the easiest way of raising my blood pressure.

[Relaps]

Jak II, when you gotta do the races. I dunno what it was or if I just sucked, but holy shit, I've never been more angry at myself for playing this, yet I just couldn't be defeated by it. I even started hitting myself, as I must've been the problem.

[Akvod]

I think the God of War games at their highest levels, and the DooM games at "Nightmare!" is infuriating all the way through. I gave up on GoW I and II when I tried whatever the highest level was called, and just stopped after reaching the first bosses.

DooM is just sick, and I can't believe how some players think that the original games are easy on "Nightmare!". I thought that I was pretty good when I beat the games on "Ultraviolent", but holy shit is the gap huge between those two skill levels.
----------------------
I hated GTA III for its combat. I remember a mission where I had to go up to the top of a unfinished building, and all there was were tight spaces, enemies that pop up from nowhere, and either your shitty auto aim that makes you see the textures of the walls, or your FPS gun that's slow as hell to aim.
-----------------------
I fucking hated how glitchy the single player mode for SOCOM was. Especially for III when you had to beat certain modes for extra items and guns or something (it might of been the sequel though).

For example you'll have to escort a hostage or something, and then they'll get stuck between a rock and tree and there'll be no way to get them unstuck. All you could do was restart the entire fucking level, and usually you get to the hostages at the very end of the level.

[Hysteria__]

Any time the COM in PES2008 scored a scripted goal/staged a scripted comeback it just fucking drove me insane. I threw two controllers at the wall before finally just snapping the disc.

All of the old Pokemon games blew at the beginning, because I always picked Charmander and then had to raise a caterpie, which took a hell of a long time.

[RessXalcor]

Call of duty 4, when you had to wait with McMillan for the heli to arrive. I could do it in every other difficulty other than Veteran, my brother ended up doing it for me in one shot. FUCK!

[Dutchinlive]

Call of duty 4, when you had to wait with McMillan for the heli to arrive. I could do it in every other difficulty other than Veteran, my brother ended up doing it for me in one shot. FUCK!

I'm also a pretty angry gamer, and my game rage is getting worse.

COD4 Yep, that shitted me to tears, hundreds of fuckers running towards you, not knowing when the save was coming so I had to attempt to get through it each time with 2 guys shooting at me from behind the ferris wheel, with 1 bullet left in my current clip.

Splinter cell These games used to shit me because I thought I was doing good until I realised it was trial and error, oh I exploded, oh shit theres mines there, ok so i have to switch to this type of goggle mode to see them, and that was the first stage.

Need for speed underground About the 3rd last race, takes about 20 minutes to complete it, and the loser-catchup rubber bands the fuck out of the other racers so hard, that it's best to stay in last place until the final lap, and if you try to be in front, the game spawns the traffic in front of you, and not even at the horizon, they spawn late, so you are basically dodging projectiles as you race.

World of warcraft Specifically arena, I'm a resto druid, got a good warrior friend to run with me, did great one week horrible the next week, read strategies got better, set ourselves a team rating goal for the week, ended up getting matched up against mirror-class, overgeared teams that beat the shit out of us, caused me to quit WoW altogether.

Oblivion Deciding to leave the story missions until after I had fully levelled and equipped my character doing the side missions.. Bad mistake, the story mode mobs scaled with my level, but my assassins' triple damage arrows did like 2% of the oblivion-planes' monstors hp.

GTA4 I don't think I should have to look both ways before crossing the street in a game. And those motorbikes should NEVER be allowed on train tracks.

Knights of the old republic(1 and 2) I loved both of these games, they were awesome, played them a couple of times each, but it infuriated me the way the game let you think you were going fine, when you kill everything you go up against, until the battles up to the end boss, where they throw a hundred thousand dark jedi against characters you are using now because the ones you levelled are unavailable for the fight, argh!

[Ureshii]

Also, Thunderhead Keep before it got nerfed and I was a total noob.

I remeber when doing THK with Henchies was the most hardcore thing ever. I must of attempted it about 10 times before I finally completed the mission.

[RobType0]

I think the most annoying bit must be on Half Life, at the part where that big fuck off three-armed thingy bursts out of the ground in the lab and you have to run around activating all the stuff so you can fire that laser thing. Yeah, that's not very specific, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, it took me literally hours to figure out that you have to leap off onto the fan to get propelled up to the final room. I was so fucking bored.

Also, playing CoD4 on Veteran wasn't, I found, too bad, apart from a couple of bits. Namely the mission in the TV station, at the part in the room with loads of TVs. That was hard. And also, while searching the village for Al Asad, I kept getting well and truly fucked up by the machinegun nest on the building at the top of the hill.

This annoyed the fuck out of me too, and is probably the only reason I haven't played Oblivion since getting absolutely raped by one of those spider demons. I'd hate to see this game with the difficulty slider set to max. The disc probably just breaks as soon as you select new game and laughs at you for even trying.

[Erinnn]

Whenever I play a Final Fantasy game, I get really nervous for some reason.
But, when I play a Zelda game, I get really angry when I die or can't beat a part of it. I occasionally find myself screaming at the television. I think I have some anger issues.
Oh, and for some reason, my friend's PS2 erases memory card data every now and then. I almost killed her when my data got erased..

[Christoffason]

Assassins Creed. This game wasted my life, everything was just the same and I have to say at the end i felt well and truly bum raped. :(

[Averageroadkill]

imagine trying to beat Super Metroid in kindergarten. Crushed my little soul.

[Evil_Fungus]

Not being able to get off your skateboard in skate. Seriously, what the hell?

[ShockWave]

Also, Thunderhead Keep before it got nerfed and I was a total noob.
Ugh, I forgot about this. The worst part is that THK wasn't even that hard. All you needed was full team of smart and organized players. Turns out the odds of getting a team like that is about the same as winning the lottery. It was quite frustrating how it didn't get difficult until the end, so you'd have to do-over everything.


The most frustrating gaming moments are when your memory card data is lost/overwritten/corrupted, the power goes out while you're playing, or the game freezes/disconnects. That's the worst.

[stfu]

The original Zelda game on the N64 made me so mad when I was younger. I broke a controller after multiple attempts at killing that boss jellyfish thing in the whales stomach at Zora's Domain and failing. I stop playing it and about 2 years later tried it again, only to find I could beat it in about 2 tries. Then when I got to that Forest Temple (the first one as an adult, where you have to save Saria) I couldn't pass it for the life of me. I never played the game again.

Dead Rising is potentially the most annoying game I have ever come across. I love the zombie slaughter and all that, but fuck. Those boss battles piss me off so much. They're relatively easy after several (hundred) hit and miss attempts until I can finally work out a decent strategy.
And the prisoners in the jeep in the main square of the shopping mall? What the fuck is that shit? I just walk out there one day and I'm being chased by a bunch of fucking deliquents with a mounted gun.

Gears of War online.

I hate it so fucking much. My friends know every weapon spawn, and steal them, the lag rapes me, I can only ever down people (even then, if I'm lucky) as they always have a friend behind them to chainsaw me, my shotgun never seems to hurt people, and some of the maps are bullshit.

Most of it is just me being a whiny no skills bitch (I started playing it yesterday :mad:) but still, when I started CoD or Halo, I didn't have this many gripes with the game.

[Tastychainsaws]

Let's see....

Halo 3 online

For what ever reason every time I play an objective game my team doesn't even know the objective. Some dumbass on sandtrap grabbed the flag and didn't know where to take it, then I was left defending our flag against 6 guys because no one wanted to help and thought it was a better idea to wander around aimlessly.

Oblivion

There was a storm and I didn't have xbox live for like an hour so I decided to play oblivion... BIG MISTAKE apparently since I didn't have XBL they decided to erase all my nights of the nine armor from existence. WHAT THE FUCK!. So all I was left with was deadric claymore named Bacon Burst....

Then there was the time my brother jacked the difficulty all the way up when I wasn't looking so I ran up against these conjurers at some stupid fort and ended up getting raped like 10 times over by spider daedra which I normally make my bitch.

Baldurs Gate

The fight with Sarevok at the end is the like the hardest fight in any game ever. My frail Fighter/Mage only had 33 hp and he managed to do me in one hit every time and for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to make magic worthless against him.

I don't even remember how I beat that fight since my -8 ac meant nothing against him.

Rock Band

That song Green Grass and High Tides(Guitar on Expert) rapes me like 80% in where theres this whole line of zig-zaggy notes coming at you(I dunno what to call it) I can get past the first part with star power but the 10 seconds later its the exact same thing again.

And the singing pisses me off a lot. It's like the only way to get 100% is to talk monotone instead of singing.

[Derelict]

Fucking Morrowind. Stupid AI get in the way in halls and there is no way to move them without killing them. You have to wait until they decide to walk away. Fucking Morrowind.

[BaldTomCatz]

In Halo 3: Only the more intense players will notice this, but the BR spread is very annoying. According to Bungie, they created a Sine function explaining the spread. The reason for it is that you can no longer dominate from across map, but it also doesnt allow you to shoot consistantly in the SWAT playlist.

If anyone doesnt know what im talking about, the Battle Rifle (BR) shoots three bullets with one squeeze of the trigger, each not going in a strait line but instead spreading out like shotgun shots, even though its a medium to long range weapon.

[alo81]

Kingdom Hearts 2 Facing Demyx for the second time in Radiant Garden had me so frustrated. I could never Fucking kill all the water creatures he summoned in time and it would say i lost and i just couldn't take it. Also facing Xaldin in Beasts Castle was a bitch, took me forever.

[Deuce42]

As for pure impossibility, I gave myself ulcers trying to kill Ruby Weapon on Final Fantasy VII. To this day it's the only part of that game that I haven't completed.

For aggravation purposes, there's a mission on FFVII Crisis Core where you have to defeat 1000 Shinra soldiers in a nonstop stream. Took me damn near an hour and I'm pretty sure I got carpal tunnel lol.

These weren't that bad for me, for some reason. It took me days to finally kill Xigbar at the end, though. It really sucked.

Really? The only problem I've ever had was with Sephiroth. And yes, on proud mode. That, making Donald's ultimate weapon, and one of the arenas are all I have left to do to get 100% completion.

For me, the first boss on Ninja Gaiden. Fuck, it took forever flipping off all those damn walls.

[Tastychainsaws]

I just started play WoW and already I have a lot of gripes about the game. For one the game is damn near impossible for me unless I have a group. I'm a mage who has the best equipment I can get from PLUS crap from the auction house shops. One on one I almost never loose the problem is It's never one on one in that game, theres always at least one monster that comes out of no where and rapes you after killing 3-4 other ones. ALWAYS.

[Dodger]

The Water Temple in Ocarina of Time.
It's a bit difficult even when you know where everything is and what you're supposed to do, it's nigh impossible when you first play it.

[Shadowpriest]

Battlefield: Bad Company. I can't stop finding things wrong with this game, aiming is terrible, snipers are worthless, shotguns are overpowered, assault rifles are worthless, heavy gunners only have the purpose of healing and fixing vehicles.

Online Play: There is only ONE online gametype Gold Rush (which is retarded and all you have to do to win on defense is camp like a faggot, considering attackers have the hardest job ever), they don't even have a fucking team deathmatch (which is fucking pathetic, how can you have an FPS without team deathmatch?).

Teams: 4 teams of 4 people each, turns out 2 teams are attackers and 2 teams are defenders, thing is YOU CAN'T SPEAK WITH ANYBODY OUTSIDE YOUR SQUAD.

If any of you get pissed off playing CoD4 because of campers, spawnkills, noobs, etc. I fucking DARE you to play this game and not wish you had never bought/rented it.

Aside from all that, it has a humorous storyline, its easy even on hard mode but it is way too short, you barely have over a day's worth of gameplay. If you're a hardcore gamer its probably under half a day of gamplay.

Basically any time I've spent online in this game is pure frustration.

[Relaps]

Ace Combat 6, fighting the Nosfrateu. A lot of things in that game just seemed cheap. AC5 was the best overall.

So I have only Boston's Foreplay to do in expert, I have gotten up to 89 % but that whole "Just out side" part keeps killing me. I did Flawless with The Ramones though.

It's just kill die kill kill die kill die die die kill

[Tastychainsaws]

Im currently trying to do Boston's Foreplay on rockband vocals in expert, I keep getting only 85% completed. And I am trying 100% flawless vocals with paranoid but I keep getting one phase wrong. I'm just trying to grind myself up for Rockband 2, why's it have to be so hard?

Dude I have that EXACT same problem. Except on easy mode.


Also(unrelated to quoted post) I just got Final Fantasy tactics for the PSP and already I find this game infuriating. I managed to blow through the game up till some stupid merchant city where they outnumber and out-gun you.

[RessXalcor]

FUCK YEAH BOSTON!!!!!! I finally got the damn Expert achievement for vocals after several months of trying I DID IT!!!! And the thing that sucks is that the song ends at 90 %... Aint that a bitch? The rest of that percentage is a huge solo. I have never been so frustrated that I wanted to smash my huge tv with the mic before, but now I got it. And I am glad.

[Lance]

Got a new one.

In Halo 3 Online, I'm not much of a Ranked kinda guy, so I like to stick to stuff in Social and DLC. My major peeve is that it seems as though theres at least one person on my team who quits every time. Now, if you're team is winning in a match of Slayer on a map like Last Resort, and they all quit, it's easy for you to still win the game with like 7 minutes left. But if they quit on you on an objective game, you're fucked. Seriously, I was playing territories the other day on Social Skirmish, and my ENTIRE TEAM QUITS before the match is over, leaving me (a Lieutenant) to somehow beat the other team (which had two Colonels and a Brigadier) with 5 minutes remaining. I didn't survive so well, and I'm not a bitch that quits early, unless, like, someone in the other room gets shot.

It also brings my piss to a boil when my own teammates kill me because I have a good weapon (mainly just the Sniper and Spartan Laser) and they aren't even a good shot. I seem to get killed a lot when I'm invisible by my own team as well, and it's nothing like their driving a warthog down a steep hill and I should have gotten out of the way.

[Shadowpriest]

Shipment is the most greatest level ever in any video game ever.

It definetly is, I constantly use it to practice no-scoping when im off for an entire week and come back just to find out I completely forgot how to do anything anymore.

Well im sorry. I tend to use the rocket launcher constantly on that map as well.

[Tastychainsaws]

So today playing WoW I was merrily strolling along in the middle of fucking nowhere to kill some douchebags for some stupid quest.

Well my connection decides to die instantly so all a sudden my guy won't react to any commands. But the enemies still attacked.

So my corpse was surrounded by 6 enemies higher level than me.

[dr_layme]

So my corpse was surrounded by 6 enemies higher level than me.

So as someone that played WoW right when it came out and leveled just slow enough to where i was in my 56-60 mega grind just when the bulk of people hit 60 I experienced probably the most frustrating time of my (video game) life.

Because there was very little high end content yet, it was still a prime activity for a group level 60s to stroll through somewhere like Western Plaguelands and just kill opposing faction members. I played on a highly populated server so getting from 56-60 took forever. But yeah... it sounds like yours were NPCs... so the point I'm trying to make is that I would be surrounded by 6 players... all the time.


Also, in early Star Wars Galaxies I forgot to clone myself so I had to hike across Endor naked with no party anywhere close to me. (I was the doctor and they did a terrible job protecting me)

Yeah it was NPC's. But people were doing that when I first started playing, back when I was a little mageling there were a few 70's running around falconwing square.

Not very cool.

[dr_layme]

I mean... they can't attack you there though. I was on a pvp server where there was nothing to stop anyone out of horde territory from doing that. With the current WoW scene that I popped my head in and out of to dart my toon to 70... geared up like it took me months of impulsive playing to get within a week, and determine that the game was ruined by throwing out their hardcore population for an army of (no offense to anyone) children that can gear up way to easy by PvP gear that demolishes PvE gear that takes hardcore work no contest. That was pretty a upsetting gaming period for me too.

[Chocoholic]

Suikoden IV.
An hour into the game you get exiled. And not some cool "Hey man, just leave town". It's a fucking "You're getting put into a rowboat in the middle of the damn ocean. Find an island bitch." I spent 45 minutes rowing the damn boat until I finally gave up. I haven't touched the game since.

Any Halo game online also throws me into a fit of rage. I shouldn't be yelled at for killing you with a rocket launcher because your dumb ass was standing right next to an enemy tank thing trying to shoot it with a needler. You can go fuck yourself.

Also any Tekken game on a high difficulty while having to fight against King. Your fucking 10 combo move is cheap as all hell. I don't even think an actual person is capable of performing it themselves.

Oh then I guess it was somewhere else. Sorry I'm new at this game and am still learning the names and stuff.

But on the bright side I'm now level 19 :3

Silent Fucking Hill (2)

Yeah, well people on the forum recommended it to me. It's pretty intense, but so hard. I put it on the hardest setting because I wasnted a challenge but FUCK ME DEAD am I having a hard time. Just got into the apartment block near the start (after realising I have to investigate the key). It's dark and shit scary in there.

As you can tell I'm a noob when it comes to survival horror. Resident Evil 4 is good, mostly because the camera angle it GOOD. That's pretty much my only gripe with these games. I have to say my heart is constantly beating hard though.

[alo81]

These weren't that bad for me, for some reason. It took me days to finally kill Xigbar at the end, though. It really sucked.

Oh my god i remember him, He tooke me forever. I eventually said fuck it and left and leveled up some more to beat him easier.


Also to all the people who talk about pokemon being hard. Am I the only person who only trains their first pokemon? They way i beat every pokemon game ive played is training my first pokemon only, doing every fight with him, and by the time i got to the Elite four, I'd just buy like 5 super potions, and he killed almost everyone in one hit. Then after i beat it I'd raise my other pokemon.


Also one of the most frustrating things for me was trying to beat Jordan on Expert in guitar hero 2. Oh my god that song was crazy, the wall of skittles and then solo C comes along and rapes you so hard in the ass you can't walk for days. It took me months of practice but when i finally beat it I'm pretty sure i came all over the controller.

[Riddlebox]

The thieves arena on castle crashers. I mean, what am I supposed to do when I've got enemies on both sides of me shooting arrows, so that I can't block? It's bullshit! I had an easier time with the lava arena, which comes some 10 levels later or something.

Also, pokemon is easy as hell you guys. Just go left of viridian toward the elite 4 place in the beginning, catch a mankey, beat brock with it, and its easy from there on out. (if you have a fire guy, get a pikachu in the forest).

Easy.

[DoctorButt]

Any Crash Bandicoot game,were you get chased by a boulder or a dino. I could never do those levels.

Gears of War online.

I hate it so fucking much. My friends know every weapon spawn, and steal them, the lag rapes me, I can only ever down people (even then, if I'm lucky) as they always have a friend behind them to chainsaw me, my shotgun never seems to hurt people, and some of the maps are bullshit.

Most of it is just me being a whiny no skills bitch (I started playing it yesterday :mad:) but still, when I started CoD or Halo, I didn't have this many gripes with the game.

Fucking right. This is probably the hardest game I've ever played online (I got more kills the first time I played Rainbow Six: Vegas :indiff:).

Fuck that game :mad:

I've also got beef with this game. The first one in fact. When you're in hell and there's the massive tower with spikes protruding. If you even touch a spike, you fall all the way back to the bottom again. It took me like 5 minutes to climb it. I finally reached the top, only to realise there was another fuckin tower!

OMG YES!
This part was having me in fucking screaming fits because I had around 2mm of the entire health bar left, and then i had to climb both of those fucking towers! I saved after the first, but still, i was so sick of falling!
And the part where Ares throws a fucking pillar at Kratos, i was half expecting there to be a interactive dodge sequence (aka Soulcalibur III) so i was mashing the buttons thoughout the cutscene. I didnt want Kratos to die *sniff*

God of War (PS2) : The first one, on "God" difficulty. I actually ripped a controller in half with my bare hand trying to do the second part of the last boss... you know, the thousand Kratoses coming out of nowhere, hellbent on gang smacking your family? After... 75 tries or so, I managed to beat it... But I just AIN'T doing that again.

Tekken... Any (PS/PS2): The most severe combo system ever. One milisecond too much or too short will cost you... And of course, all those gay asses on the Net using the two same moves to juggle you 'til you die. You play against the game before playing against the player himself. More infuriating is the fact that the less you know how to play that game, the stronger you are.

The Red Star (PS2) : Last Boss. In Soviet Russia, Giant Angry Darth Vaders rape you.

Call of Duty 4 (PS3, ...): Martyrdom. Use Last Stand, at least you need some skill to deserve that kill! Not just a grenade that pops out of nowhere. If at least you needed to have a grenade in your inventory prior your death for this Perk to work.

Level 55 isn't that hard to reach. Probably 24 hours of gameplay gets you there.
But, the same thing applies with me, level 55 8th prestige, all the gold guns. Xbox hard-drive totally screws over and the CoD game itself becomes un-playable.
I just started playing it on the PS3 and the most furstrating thing about it on there is, no game finishes.
If I wanted something that couldn't even last 10 minutes; I'd get in a relationship.
It's the most annoying thing about the game on that console. It's even more annoying when you're on the brink of beating your Kill-streak and the game just randomely ends.

Holy fuck I forgot about this game. I had started playing Hitman 2, after I played the other Hitman games so it was kinda weird going down to the simpler game, but fuck I never even beat it cause when it comes to Hitman I'm such a fucking perfectionist. I think I gave up on some level in Russia. It seemed pretty easy in theory but I tried so much and got frustrated I just gave up on it.

Pokemon isn't hard. Catch 5 other pokemon that don't suck at high levels and put your weakest one first, training it until it passes up the next guy in line, etc. etc., until you have a team of 5 lvl 40's instead of one level 57 or something. Also, I always used a Nidoran for Brock. Pokemon was never hard for me, I caught all three birds or w/e with ultra balls. I was 10.


Any game when they make you do something on a stupid timer.
You're destined to lose the first 2-3 times because you have to know exactly what to do during the whole time.

Wholeheartedly agree. ESPECIALLY When you have to defend Kil'Jaedan in WC3 for half an hour BEFORE it gets hard. You try the mission twice and then quit the game.

Master Karai on this game. Holy shit. All these hard games were around when I was pretty young, but I'd never been stumped to the point of quitting on any game, not even rainbow road's mirror track on the original mario kart.

The level Cortana on Halo 3 while on Legendary mode. Or just the level in general.

Quoting Arby n' The Cheif, if there is hell it would probably force you to play that level for eternity. I dunno Bungie should have gotten the message after Halo that the Flood aren't that fun to fight. They weren't fun to fight in Halo 2 either. So they somehow thought it was a good idea to incorporate them into Halo 3? Damn it Bungie that practically ruined the entire campaign for me.

[Christobaldus]

I don't know if I am just repeating what someone else said, so go ban be - I did'nt have the time to go check.

The boss that caused me so much trouble is Bowser in the first Paper Mario in the Paper Mario franchise. I know I am a noob, but that fella had me just going on and on trying to beat him. He was a tough one. He would randomly replenish his health just whenever he got his health down to below 50%! Bowser's never been such an arse!

Gears of war. I love this game, I'm fairly good at it, the fire fights involve fast reflexes, tactics and teamwork, so mostly just a good shoulder on your head.

Oh, look, I'm running faster than the speed of light and can still shoot and control my character, oh look, I just ran right up to you and shot you in the face before you could blink.

Dude, I forgot about that one. And there's like random stuff to lock on to, which will come and try to kill you in addition to the people already trying to. I had to do that mission at least 10 times.
