F*** you game!

[AceTrilby]

Skate. When it gets to the stage that you have to earn thousands of points by doing about 300 tricks in 30 seconds, its a little annoying. Especially since it clashes with the tone of the overall game - it's not Tony Hawk, it's supposed to be more relaxed than that.

Also Lost Odyssey. I've raged about this in another thread, so I'll just say this: Fuck you, Bogimoray.

 

[Tharwen]

in Bioshock where you have to get through a door to the art curator guy on the other side, and I think it might've been a bug, but I couldn't get through to the other side. No idea what I was meant to do.

You had to follow his instructions to look around and take photos of corpses. If he didn't say anything, it was probably a bug. Didn't you have an objective marked?

 

[Ruwrak]

Everytime the camera "helpfully" repositions itself to give you a clue to where you should go next in Asassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood. Thanks game, but I really can find me own way out of the templar lairs without you help, which costs me a jump to nowhere and I nice arrival at the first floor.

Or the countless times it positions itself -just- right so you can only climb up and down instead of jumping away from the ledge. Should you take the jump at blind guess and on the wing of a prayer, it happens as you said: A nice arrival at the first floor -splat- There goes the 100% synch in the broken down cathedral literally 1 drop before completing it.


OR EVEN BETTER
Losing a time trial 1 second short because Ezio thought it was neccesary to jump up against the doorpost and hold the ledge and not letting go for 2 seconds. Seriously the amounts of times I misjumped, misgrabbed, misran and generally mis-parcoured (it's a word now I suppose)in AC:B is rediculous. AC1, no problems. AC2, started to feel a bit wonky on the Xbox, but PC played like a charm. AC:B was just... just.... Glad I have the story over, so to say.


And another thing. Multiplayer achievements... What? Noone plays the multiplayer anymore so why incorporate achievements (i.e. reach level 50 :V)? Bah >.> (The achievement inside me demands I get it, but... you know...)

 

[BlindMessiah94]

In FF2 there is this spot where you have to fight like 3 bosses in a row and it takes almost 30 mins to an hour to get through without a single save point in between...and it's challenging and easy to die. There is travel time between each boss fight too with no save point, not to mention all the exploring you have to do to get items and such...must have died like ten times before I finally beat it. Then my save file gets corrupted.

FUCK YOU GAME >:|

 

[CrawlingPastaHellion]

Yeah: APB Reloaded. You're facing either a hacker or a pro that's been playing the game 16 hours a day for only the singularity knows how long. Either way you lose. In a game with the principle "first one to shoot wins" it gets quite infuriating. The game is just poorly designed on most levels except customization and cars. Also: no cover system... what?

 

[That_Sneaky_Camper]

Call of Duty multiplayer. When you do great all is fine and dandy, but when you do bad a cycle of the same people killing you over and over again happens and it pisses you off that no matter how hard you try you just can't kill these fuckers. Shit like that makes me want to throw my controller against the wall, and sorry to say but I actually have.

Other than that it varies from game to game as there is always that ONE level that screws you over multiple times before you get it right.

 

[Mafoobula]

World of Warcraft pvp. Maybe three times in my years-long devotion to the game have I truly rocked in pvp. The rest of the time I was bland, and then there are the times where I just wanted to annihilate Blizzard and their families. Warlocks, shadow priests and ret paladins in particular can kindly die in a vat of napalm and piss. Oh, I still play of course, pve and such, but I've largely given up on pvp.

Professor Layton games. For the most part, the puzzles range from simple to pleasantly challenging. On the other hand, there are some puzzles that require leaps of logic that have me completely baffled. On the third, mutated hand, there are some puzzles that use outright troll logic. Example: You have a guy who's complaining of a smell coming from three pots, but only two corks to block the smell. The solution? Plug the guy's nostrils, of course! Up yours Layton, you magnificent dapper bastard.

Batman: Vengeance. It's JUST like the animated series, and I grew up loving the hell out of that show! All the voice actors are back, and ye gods, they sound good. Just one problem: The rest of the game is worse than... well, anyone here ever been sick to the point of being damn near incapacitated? Anyone get some kind of surgery, then got some weak-ass painkillers that didn't goddam work (it was the wisdom teeth for me)? Mothers, remember the pain of giving birth and all the discomfort leading up to the actual event? Anyone here ever accidentally drink spoiled milk?
That's what playing Batman: Vengeance is like. I dare anyone who has played this game to say different.
I got maybe half-way through before just giving the hell up.

I second Psychonauts. It didn't help that my laptop was terribad at the time, but I know for sure that even if I had a god-box PC I would still be screaming bloody murder at my screen. Seriously, Meat Circus.

 

[Yugeky20]

One game I do this to nearly every time I play; Yu-Gi-Oh forbidden Memories for my ps1. Man eight years and I'm still stuck playing the same dude. All I can say is F**k you mate!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OneStepAhead]

League of Legends, the only game where you can do everything right and still lose...FUCK YOU LoL... ;P

 

[Hellishkratos]

Record of Agarest War, anyone who's played this game long enough will know what I'm talking about. King-fucking-Midas. A shitload of health, huge attack range, and is strong enough to kill your characters many times over. Also, he regenerates 15% of his health every turn, the longer the battle goes on, he gets stronger, the more damage you do to him, he gets stronger. And if you fight him long enough he'll do an attack that covers 90% of the field and one-shots ANYONE. Fuck him sooo much, no game I've played (not even new game+ Demon's Souls) compares to that asshole of a boss.

I nearly rage quit over final fantasy X

oh yeah, I still have that I never finished... I forget where. I think the thing you have to fight on the top of the flying craft

Seriously? I think that's were I quit too. I think we're talking about the same place. It was fight after fight without saving and I can't get to the point where you stop Yuna from marrying Seymour (I think that's what was happening...) without getting hit by cheap shot and losing my party...

I think the biggest cheap shot of that section (thank my desire to scan everything) is those kicker robots who, if you kill everything but them, will kick your party members off the screen. As for Evrae, the flying thing, if you can avoid poison breath you can defeat it easily, if you can't avoid that make sure Rikku has high HP, her Al Bhed potions cure poison on the entire party.

OT: Ninja Gaiden, original xbox. Too many things in that game are just too hard. Also Dead Island near the end where you would seriously need to be playing with 3 other people to survive. I was swearing so loud, especially those flak jacket wearing fucks that drop my bullet damage to under 100.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

Every boss fight in lost odyssey. I am by no means an expert at J-rpg's but I have beaten a few. In fact, to this day, one of my all time favorite games is legend of dragoon for ps1. But for some reason, I don't know if its just because I haven't played a J-rpg in a while or the game was just made too dam hard (I probably just suck), but I can not beat the bosses. I gave up early on in the game, and now every time I look at the game thinking maybe this is the day I finally grow a pair and beat the first disk, I get flashbacks to the countless times I died on that stupid giant snake-worm-ish boss thing, and just put it back on my shelf curl up in a corner and cry my self to sleep.

And this sucks because I REALlY liked how the story was going, and the collectible memories of the main character's past were really interesting to me. Guess i could just watch a lets play or a walk-trough tho

not as bad as getting up to the last disc and having your saves unintentionally wiped by your friend. i really loved lost odyssey, but i just can't muster the energy to play through 3 entire bloody discs again just to get where i was.

[The Wykydtron]

TF2 when there's a Pyro who sees through my Dead Ringer every single damn time and chases me halfway across the map...

Backstabbing's too good for those assholes

Also when i underestimate the turning speed of a sentry one too many times, which happens almost every game

I suppose Persona 3 The Answer should be on this list too, simply because i have to go through one dungeon once then have to save and stop because of the bullshit enemies and unchangeable difficulty (which is set to "fuck you")

And Atlus you know the Social Link system was a really good at stopping lvl grinding right? Then why is it not in The Answer?!

At this point i don't even care if it's explained in the story i'll be on the third dungeon forever at this rate

If you need more help let me know, I made it to a mountain later in the game whose name I'm not revealing yet, suffice to say it's a good number of hours from where you are.

BATMAN:ARKHAM ASYLUM almost made me this mad.

Yeah, you're reading this right. B:AA In my Steam PC version theres a glitch in a sequence with Harley Quinn, and two guards suspended over electrified water. When you cut down the second guard its possible for the game logic to glitch and your controls become unresponsive because the game is trying to show you a cutscene. But because of the glitch, the cutscene doesn't play, and the timer keeps counting down and you die. I finally figured out that the way to beat the glitch was to stand at - or very close to - where the game wants you to be when it tries to run the cutscene. PLUS all the damn Riddler trophies that you actually have to go back to the starting locations to find, effectively making you play the game twice as long as necessary. Well, I was very close to firing it into the sun.

But I didn't, because THAT game was Crysis.
I ... fell through the aircraft carrier? No, fuck *you* game.

And Titan Quest was another one.
If you die you can put yourself back at certain checkpoints, but all the baddies behind that checkpoint respawned?? So now my progress counts for nothing and I have to kill everything all over again - and probably die again? Oh no I won't. *Uninstall* this, game.

in Bioshock where you have to get through a door to the art curator guy on the other side, and I think it might've been a bug, but I couldn't get through to the other side. No idea what I was meant to do.!

Also: I'm not at all sure what Curator you're talking about in Bioshock, so I don't think I got through that door either. Funny thing is, I think I heard it open behind me. So either its a big glitch, or its one of those F3AR things that might have been cool if I'd actually seen it.

Edit: Oh, now I know what you mean. That part is goofy because there is no clear objective yet. You have to figure out how to get into the theatre or something. Since I usually have Wrench Lurker and maybe Sports Boost I equipped, I have a grand old time just whacking splicers, and eventually I get bored, wander around, and find my way in there. It's an arcade of stores that I turn into my personal whack-a-splicer.

Edit: Edit: Sander Cohen the Art Curator? Yeah, not a lot of 'cure', though.

What gen was he in?

I'm in Generation 5 (Must beat 1 dark knight and two giant bird things, each having around 75,000 HP and each easily able to wipe out my party in 1 move). Just did 2 DKs (tough as nails) and another battle with 1 DK and 1 Giant bird...

Agarest is the hardest SRPG I've ever played.

Currently playing Agarest War: Zero on a 1 week rental (so I'm happy havinbg beat gen 1 and hopefully gen 2).

Generation 3, in Tlalocan City of God. He's the second to last boss of that generation. I only died once to the Durga (from my own stupidity), thanks to the grinding I did to beat Midas.

 

[Reverend Del]

Oh FFX you crazy crazy bastard, can be very annoying. However it doesn't quite trump the rage I feel when fighting Yiazmat in FFXII. I'm down to a million HP on the big draconic bastard and he casts reflect on my party. No bad thing except that I've got a renewal queued to hit my party because it's dangerously low on health. Normally I'd simply cancel it, however it's too damn far along and goes off before I can react. Yiazamt now has 50 million HP again and is level 166... He can die in a fire.

FFX-2: No.

 

[Felstaff]

Batman: The Movie on the Amiga had the most frustrating final-moment. You have to launch your batrope diagonally to knock the joker off of the ladder (sorry for spoiling the ending there, but this game was 1989, man!) With a keyboard, that's fine and an easily executable manoeuvre. HOWEVER, being 5 years old, I was unaware that I could use any other controller than my oft-broken joystick, and consequently I would accidentally shoot the rope vertically, rather than at 45° required. I cried so hard! If you failed to stop the Joker (you had one chance to launch the batrope), you would lose a life. If it was your last life... back to the very beginning of the game for you!

Sonovabitch!

success!​

 

[Takolin]

Bayonetta the other day, the boss fights take ages and I'm bad at the game.

Oh and magicka on a boss with 2 adds who can keep respawning after you kill them, while they heal the boss. It was either a stalemate because I couldn't deal enough damage because I needed to shield and heal myself and the boss healed too much, or me dying while going for a more offence based tactic.
