Frustrating moments

[Crazycat690]

What's the most frustrating moment you've ever experienced in a video game? It may be whatever, from bugs to annoying characters!

Mine is in Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising, I got to the mission called "Final Battle", guessing it was the last mission, I pressed start, the game crashed and my progress was gone. I got so frustrated, so pissed off, instead of doing something normal which is to break the computer I bursted out in crazy & evil laughter.

Close to that comes MGO....

So share your frustrating gaming experiences and your reactions! =D

Generally, helping out your friends online, only then to be screwed over royally by their greediness.

Transformice FTW.

I get frustrated week after week when I see the same thread being done over and over with not one person thinking to check the search bar.

Games that make me frustrated, MW2 - everything about it pretty much.

Ever play Fire Emblem?

There's no frustration like spending the last hour killing everything, then making your way to the boss only to have your weaker units killed by a surge of Heroes and Paladins...

Oh and Opponents hitting you with HITs of 21% and getting critical attacks with CRTs of 3%...

Ohhh what fun.

Uncharted, first and second, for the same reason.
Builds up your self esteem by letting you breeze through normal, then struggle through, but still beat, hard mode.
And then crushing came along.

Broke a controller because of that difficulty. And I still haven't beaten crushing.

The whole game, The Silver Surfer, for the NES, is frustrating.
If you touch anything, you die, and there are parts where the entire screen is covered in enemies.
Not to mention, there are no checkpoints at all, so each death is a restart.

Close to the end, I gave up on trying to save everyone, and used the weaker units as cover for the bosses in Nergal's level.
Fire Emblem 7 is fucking hard. But I like it, because of how easy Sacred Stones was.

Not 100% sure why...but Monster Hunter Tri.
I'm normally an easy going guy with decent patience but just something...really gave me headaches. The grinding, items that need collecting within 30mins are never found, constant feeding/sharpening, running after the monsters.
Stupid thing is, i pretty much used to do this in WoW back in the day...
but, yeah...GGGgggrrrrr

I try to play RPG's but eventually i quit because i get frustrated with the slow turn base combat, slow walking speed, and random encounters.

I cant stand loosing anyone, even units i know i wont use outside the chapter you get them in.
So id get so pissed off because my "No man left behind" code forced me to restart the chapter.
Though luckily the units i chose for the last chapter were all LV 18-20 so id have no problems with Nergal and the following Dragon.

And i was disappointed at the Difficulty in Sacred Stones.
I lost maybe 4 units thought the entire game, where as FE7 made me loos units quite a bit, especially on Hard mode.

I Wanna Be The Guy. Not so much because the game is gaddamn impossible - I can deal with that. What I can't take is the fact that it freaks out every five minutes and I have to restart. One time, my bullet was in the air next to the save point, and it crashed.

The final boss in Persona 3.

It takes about 30 minutes to get to this boss' final phase, which takes about 30 minutes itself. The absolutely infuriating part, though, is the final phase that starts when he gets to about 10% health. He uses an attack that charms a random member of your party. For those of you who haven't played the game, being charmed means that, on your turn, you will either do nothing, attack an ally, or heal the enemy. The person he charmed had a full heal spell.

I think Sacred Stones was just too easy to play because of the Tower of Valini and Lagdou Ruins.
After a few hours of grinding in there, I had 3-4 Upgraded Units before Erika's Story started.

Hehe I know what you're talking about, I've spent many frustrating hours on beating both Uncharted 1 & 2 on crushing! =O My controller is happy to be alive today...

Well about an hour ago on Demon's Souls I was going through this cliff section with some things shooting stuff at e which would do massive damage to be when it hits and me not having the ability to kill them even with my ranged attacks, that coupled with melee range enemies attacking me led to one massive rage-out.

I finally get past that bit and I reach an area with really thin walkways and some almost invisible monsters which have some kind of ion-cannon attack, after a dozen deaths I gave up and here I am complaining about it on a forum.

 

[nick n stuff]

i corrupted my data during the last level of star wars force unleashed. fortunately it's not a long game on replay

 

[Lightslei]

No one called this yet?

Final Fantasy X:
Chocobo Race for Sun Sigil, birds on auto-target, birds hitting you from the top of the screen, invisible boundaries.
Butterfly Race for Kimahri's Sigil: Horrible Depth Perception
Dodging 200 Lightning Bolts in a Row for Lulu's Sigil?

God of War just irks me with bad camera angles imo.

 

[Twilight.falls]

Pokemon. My Dusknoir and Lucario, last two. Enemy has Blissey and Shedinja. I use Shadow Sneak and Dark Pulse on Shedinja, anticipating a Focus Sash. Shedinja uses Protect, my guys are immobilized. Dusknoir goes down to Toxic damage and Lucario goes down to Blissey's Seismic Toss.

If it wasn't for my lack of human emotion, I would have tossed my DS out the window. Partly because I should have predicted Protect, and because I died to a Blissey.


Super Mario Galaxy 2. A green star in Sky Station Galaxy. This one you must jump off a planet to get. Miss it and you die. I missed.


Team Fortress 2. I'm playing Soldier and have Direct Hit. I spy a Demoman. He jumps off a building in Badwater Basin, I turn around and one shot him with an airborne hit. At that exact moment a grenade he fired landed and took me out.

I also think the Weapons had something to do with it as well.
A lot of the monsters would drop Steel and even Silver Weapons as well as all types of Reaver Weapons.
And of course, the Monsters had high attack but, they were really easy to take out.

And with the Tower and the Skirmishes there are plenty of opportunity's to Grind.
