Biggest, "I Call Shenanigans!" moment in a game?

[Log Lady]

Old topic but I just thought of one. In Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, at the start of "The Bunker," after a very long and tedious platforming section over a U-Boat, there's a little tiny gap on your path, and if you fall in it you start the whole shenanigans-ing thing over again. Thanks guys, I really wanted to watch my little guy shimmy along a pipe for another ten minutes. Great.

Assassin's Creed. Top of the incredibly tall church Leap of Faith. Right into the ground.

This.
A Million Times, This.
FOREVER This!

...Ahem.

Also, my biggest gripe would be the way that the A.I. in most fighting games can blow off extreme "massive damage" combos that not even a fifteen year old Korean boy hopped up on Pixy Stix and Red Bull could manage, and you can never seem to break them.

Forever, or just since Double Dash!!? Think about it.
I call shenanigans on Metroid Prime: Corruption's escort mission. For being an escort mission in my Metroid. Also for forcing you to let the lightly-armoured demolition troopers enter the room full of Space Pirates first and for having no explanation whatsoever for them being lightly-armoured.
"We're demolition troopers, so we have less armour."
Seriously. Why?!

Exactly.

Call of Duty 5 Multiplayer. Tanks, Bouncing Bettys, horrible balance issues.

It feels like forever, really...semantics.

In saints row 2, on some of the missions the opposing gang will spawn off screen and try to run you over before getting out of the car to open fire on you. This by itself isn't bad, however sometimes they are armed with the rocket launcher resulting in them firing a rocket at you from 2ft away, instant death with no way to avoid, just chance they wont have the weapon

Really any multiplayer game that induces Mario Kart Syndrome (TOO STRONG POWER-UPS)

Mario Kart (obviously)
Guitar Hero III
Smash Bros. Brawl (Curse You Smash Balls)
etc.

Also the Burnout Series when I am in first on the last lap only inches away from the finish when "Oh No" a car pops out of nowhere and decides it wants to crash my plans of actually winning this race.

Fable 2, you beat Lucien with a bloody music box what the hell.

Erm it's kind of justified since it's a magical artifact in a world filled with magic that grants wishes.

First off no it isn't justified, secondly that hero of skill who does nothing but complain and make horrible jokes shoots him in the head

How could anyone not mention the abysmal idea of the node ball or whatever the hell in Unreal Tournament 3? Talk about a way to instantly ruin the previously good onslaught mode. Especially infuriating in AI games since your team doesnt prioritize the guy carrying the instant-cheese-capture powerup.

It is justified in a magical word filled with magical items, mages and even doors that warp you into another dimension it definitely fits.

That's the alternate ending if you don't attack.

Playing through Ninja Gaiden (quite possibly the hardest game I've ever beaten,) and discovering that the final boss is one of the easiest in the game. I mean, what the hell?

 

[Veacane]

just cause it's a world full of magic dosen't mean that the random magic baox should defeat the main boss, you know what that is, lazy writing, and poor planning.
