Ever been trolled by a single player game/campaign ?

[Ladette]

Fire Emblem:
"Let's see, I know the enemy could 1 shot me, but i'm attacking first with a 93% chance of hitting him and if I hit him once he'll die, even if I miss I get two attacks, no way he'll survive this turn. Even if I miss his hit chance is a pathetic 4%, so I guess i'll just attack him. Missed first attack, missed second attack, he attacks first next turn. He hits, my favorite character dies. Fuck it i'm doing the chapter over!"
The random number god is a fucking cheater.


Also Eternal Darkness, the game's selling point is that it trolls you.

 

[KaiRai]

Saints Row 2. Sitting parked at a red light. A cop car comes storming into the side of me and I get a wanted level. Damn dirty cops.

Oblivion does it too.

"You'd like to fast travel? Sorry there's a lethal mud crab 40 miles away. It could be dangerous you know"

Oh and let's not forget guards with grudges. I punched a guard in Bruma, and ran all the way to Skingrad and stopped just short of the gate. Where the guard from Bruma who had been following me the whole way proceeded to kill me. Bastard.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Fallout 3.

The purifier is full of radiation? Oh well I'll just send in Fawkes, or Charon, or Sergeant RL-3, they're all immune to radiation, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Wait what? I can't send them in? Why?
My destiny? WTF is this, they're immune to radiation why should I or someone else die for no good reason?

Also Harold's death in Fallout 3 was like a troll punching you in the face over and over again considering there is no possible way to save harold no matter what you do.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

The last boss in [PROTOTYPE]. Just... really?

 

[Brad Shepard]

Watched my friend play Pokemon before, as I played mine, he ran into his first shiny, want to guess what it was?

No, not Ponyta... No, not Spearow... It was Bedoof, Frecking Bederp, you have never seen someone look so happy and sad at the same time.

 

[Zayren]

The Fallout 3 ending.

Spoiler

Sure, you can send a guy in to save the world and nobody will die. Oh wait, you can't. You have to kill yourself. Also, you're not allowed to make your own moral choice, if you side with the president, you're "evil".

I fucking hated that story.

Siding with the President and using the FEV, you mean? Because the whole point of that is that it would kill every single person who has mutated at all, which is basically everyone non-Enclave. Yeah, that's a little bit evil.

 

[Nexoram]

Well, the trolling didn't really anger me but It would have pissed off some MW2 fans. Anyway, In the campaign of Battlefield Bad Company 2 there are 2 references towards Modern Warfare 2. One which was when Sweetwater (the medic) complained about Bad Company getting the boot and the Army sending in some "Special Ops douchebags with pussy ass heart-beat monitors" Instead of them. The second trolling was when Haggard (Demolition) remarked that "Snowmobiles are for sissies"

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Raiden.

 

[Simalacrum]

"hey, listen!"

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Can't believe nobody's said this yet, but I believe there's a certain cake that's status was questionable for the entirety of a game.

Other than that, Fallout 3. Maybe I just suck at it (probably), but the only time I tried to pick someone's pocket the entire town of megaton decided to chase me into the bar where I swiftly hid at the tip of the stairs with a sledge hammer and wound down the towns numbers over the next two hours.

and thats why you save before you do things like pickpockets, hack terminals, and pick locks(or trying to force them more specifically)

 

[Misterian]

Yes, with F-Zero GX.

Almost everything about this game makes it seem like the game is offcially determined to screw with me.

It was the first game I ever played that I offically hate, I was disappaointed with Nintendo for it, I went as far to consider it the closest they ever went to something like E.T for the Atari 2600.

Edit: Also in a more gentle note: Oblivion had me spent forever closing Oblivion Gates at 1 part of the main quest, no wonder bethesta favored the player going their own route.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Fallout: New Vegas. Seriously? A damn slide-show for an ending? Not to mention that it was a terrible ending, the narrator blatantly stated I screwed everything up and made the Mojave into an anarchy.

well then in the case of the later(the anarchy) isn't that kinda your fault?

 

[cookieXkiller]

modern warfare 2
that game kills you like 3 times
and then the second you hop on multi player you get noob tubed
and civilization two the AI on hard is just out to troll you all the time

 

[AWDMANOUT]

I vividly remember yelling at a certain "box and floor spikes" puzzle in the original God of War.

Oh, and the tower of sword thingies in Hades. Whoever designed that was trollin.

 

[Oilerfan92]

Far Cry 2 trolled me by making me think it would be fun.

 

[The Eggplant]

"hey, listen!"

*Points, nods, weeps.*

Aside from that...the noise made by Zubat in 1st-gen Pokemon games is definitely looping in my personal Hell.

 

[Jelly ^.^]

Treasure Island Dizzy.

"Oh, what's that, you want to pick something up underwater? Well, my little egg friend, you'd better make sure that your snorkel isn't at the top of your inventory list, or you will die

And you don't have a health bar either. And you don't have any spare lives. And if you don't find ALL the coins, you can't afford to leave the island at the end of the game. So good fucking luck, you'll need it little egg man. Because the guides infamously won't help you."

(Special shout out to the trolls at Commodore Format Magazine.)

 

[Inchronica]

Hahaha! Something similar happened to me, I was in Megaton at that restaurant outside and instead of sitting down in a chair, I stole a cup of noodles ... whole town is like "U BASTARD!"
And kills me. Mind you, I was like level 2, So I had nothing.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

Men of War. Every single thing in that game is the result of some sort of trolling. For example, the enemies AT rifles can turn my light tanks into a big firey deathball of fire with one shot. When I pick the rifle up to use it on their tracked jeeps, I knock the treads off. How the fuck is that fair?

 

[dWintermut3]

The very ending of FO:NV. I died at least 10 times there, before I realized that without a riot shotgun and a warehouse of ammo, I am screwed.

Thankfully at that point I had a bunch of land mines in my inventory I was saving them up to sell them.

That makes it a whole lot easier.

But yeah, the whole "no going back, oh and it's a heavily inventory-based game" thing was crappy.
