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

[KeithA45]

Any game where I'm just OBLITERING enemies left and right and then it cuts to a cutscene where one guy sneaks behind and knocks me out.

Plus, any time when the enemies have rediculous health regeneration/healing abilities, or huge stat differences (i.e.: I have 856 health, the enemy has 25,248,966. it's ok if he has 15 times my health, 10,000 times my health? C'mon...)

Sorry I don't have any examples off-hand

Assassin's Creed when you have to kill Robert du Sable (not sure what the spoiler box code is so I won't digress, if anyone is interested to know then please PM me, unless you already know.).

Spoiler

That would be

*insert words* [endspoiler] by endspoiler, i mean / instead of end.

 

[Erana]

Didn't we just have a, "When the game cheats" thread a week or two?

But still, locust plagues from Might and Magic 1.
Especially the NES glitch that let them get tons of hits.

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

Yeah... thanks. Spoilers next time please?

 

[MarsProbe]

Yeah... thanks. Spoilers next time please?

If you don't want to read something, it's best not to quote it, as there are likely other people who haven't got to that point in Fable 2 either.

Anyway, if we're talking about games doing totally ridiculous things, then I have to nominate the entire space stage of Spore. The two things that really got to me in that section of the game:

How the opposing empires would be able to slip a massive invasion force right onto your home planet without you even noticing, while you couldn't even so much as brush your ship up alongside there remotest colony without being shot down in flames by some many of their ships. The other being the fact that they had such huge fleets, at least in comparison to my, oh, 3 ships. The fact that the two allied ships always got shot down so quickly was annoying enough, even more so by the fact you would have to travel back to their territory to request another ship to aid you.

So that's my vote, for now. This has reminded how much I hate Spore. The only game to ever cause me to punch a large dent in my table...

Kind of an MGS4 spoiler:


The romantic subplots in MGS4 (both).

Spoiler

As soon as Naomi and Otacon started getting close, I told my wife "that woman's gonna die. Otacon's like the Hope Diamond for women in the MGS universe." I was right.

Fording the river.

 

[jahsol]

Star Wars Galaxies first day of the combat upgrade.


EDIT: Fording the river is a great one! So much of taxpayers money was wasted while we had whole classes dedicated to playing that game in school. Teacher: "We have computer lab today." Class: "Hell yeah a hour of shooting buffalo along the Oregon Trail!"

I suppose I'd have to say COD:WaW on Veteran (of course) when I had 8 or 9 grenade warning indicators on my screen at once, in all directions. Obviously, that only lasted for about a second. That's some serious bullshit though, because there's absolutely no way to escape that, the game just decides "Okay you lose now" and it's not like I got myself into some bad position, I was just playing the game normally, so it wasn't my fault.

 

[theultimateend]

Any game where the bad guy has your balls pressed against a belt sander and instead of turning that ***** on high and killing you he says something like.

"You are not worth my time." LEAVES AND THEN YOU END UP GETTING STRONGER THAN THE DOUCHE AND WOOPING HIM.

I say that in caps because it irritates me that this plot device gets used in 1 out of every 1 RPG's made basically.

Megaman Battle Network 3.

After final battle when you defeat Bass and then Omega,

Spoiler

turns out Omega was still alive, sucks you inside and Megaman has to sacrifice. But then he survives somehow. He's like a damn Wolverine of the Cybernet...

Guile threw a sonic boom WHILE WALKING TOWARDS ME!

 

[Fightgarr]

When my Chrono Cross disc froze right before I was able to switch to the next disc.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

The end of Fallout 3. It was terrible i mean i had Fawkes. FAWKES!!!! people who beat the game know what im talking about.Oh and blue turtle shells (shivers with disgust) i hate those things.

 

[blood77]

Well I call shenanigan on myself.

During a game of Soulcalibur 3 I was playing with my friend, I had little to no life left. After doing a guard shove I managed to hit him up into the air. But when he came back down his character, Seong Mi-Na, landed right on her head and seemed to be stuck there. I then proceed to preform an unblockable move for maximum damage and also ringed him out with the same attack.

 

[Darthracoon]

The Game i have to call Shenanigans on the veteran difficulty of Call of Duty:World at War,
Because instead of the babbling idiots who had to stop each other from shooting themselves they turn into Super soldiers of the unstoppable Wehrmacht/Japanese forces who are Super Strong, can be pinpoint accuracy, being able to hip fire with a LMG and hit something, throwing grenades so hard that they can kill you with direct impact, having satanic healing powers(shot a guy three times and he still tried to shoot me when he was on the floor).
They also only seem to have two brain functions always shooting at the player until he is a bullet-riddled mess(which means ignoring all other people) or reaching into their endless pockets and throwing Stielhandgranates until the world is no more.
Oh, and did i forget to mention that they are immune to pain and do not care if they die even if they just saw their comrades brutally maimed and burned.

Which makes me wonder, if this is "The most realistic difficulty"
How the hell did the Allies win the war?

 

[Svenparty]

Blue Shells are SERIOUSLY hurtful to the world as We know it.

Urm....Fallout 3 is My main target at the moment I at least expected an ending that felt logical.

Cars disappearing after you turn round in Saints Row 2

 

[barryween]

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

Thanks a fuckin' lot you ruiner. I'll ruin something for you.
At the end of your life, you will die!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Syphonz]

When cars started raining from the sky in BF2. Actually, everyone called Shenanigans.
