Have you ever gotten a game into an unwinnable/unfinishable state?

I've just been replaying Dragon Age on PC (I played all of it on a friend's console the first time.) I've found it DRASTICALLY easier on a PC when you can properly control th entire party at once. What were you playing it on? I was unable to do it on aynthing other than easy on console, and even then it was a challenge. On PC higher difficulties become an option.imnotparanoid said:
At first, the Jelly King was like that in Spiral Knights, a constantly regenerating amorphous blob that spawned hundreds of mini versions all out for my blood, so you can imagine what happened when I turned up with a piercing weapon that actually did less damage per attack than what the jk could heal.Face=wall repeatedly.
An x-men game on ps2 had a count down section where I had to leave the facility before the timer ran out and the facility blew up. I saved the game at a point where I couldn't possibly leave and when the timer ran out, it was just a game over screen with the usual options of 'load previous save' and 'go back to title'. I couldn't possibly progress pass that point so I just stopped playing rather than restart the whole game over again.
I ALMOST broke my Oblivion game (thank god for a backup save, but i lost 5 hours.)
So, lesson learned here, guys - Always. Always. ALWAYS make backup saves.
At the end of the game, in the Imperial City invasion, I saved at a very, very, VERY bad time. Every time I loaded it, half a second later -
"Martin has died. All hope is now lost."
There was no way to save him at all, coz I had somehow saved it WHILE HE WAS DYING.

Well, he is a boss. I believe you're supposed to fight him with other people, unless you got the gear to beat him with. Poison is also very effective at preventing him from healing. Make sure to keep as many poison potions as possible when you go through the Jelly gardens.Alduin Silas said:
Deus Ex 1: I ran out of ammo, medkits, lock picks and multitools the first 5 times I tried to play it.
Final Fantasy Tactics. If you've played it you know exactly where.
Alpha Protocol. During the tutorial the alarms I needed to disable to progress didn't activate.

Oh I've defeated him time and time again, but it was that first time when I had no idea what to hit him with.Pirakahunter788 said:
Yes actually. I tend to be very impatient with rpgs and blast through the enemies by either running or using clever tactics in battle. As a result, I end up with a really weak team by the time I reach the final area, such as in Breath of Fire 4.
Either that or I try experimental builds like my first serious character in Fallout:NV which was more of a sweet talker and laser weapons expert. The problem with this was when I entered the DLC Blood Money and found that there were considerably more melee weapons and guns than energy, neither of which I was particularly skilled with.

rose too many alarms in Splinter Cell, on the mission to rescue the captured US soldiers at the meat processing plant. and i didn't take care of the bodies, so i moved into the next region, saved, and went forward, only to have the checkpoint raise a game-over alarm. and i never played again for months. then i went way back and made up the difference. THEN i finished it!
Resident Evil 4, I had made some bad decision on spending my money mainly investing upgrading that double pericing handgun instead of buying much better gun.
I also wasted my ammos to the point I had a few ammo left at that caged bridge area where you have to fight that big guy (who you took his eyeball) mutated form. I'm pretty sure there is no where I can kill him again with just using my knife (it would be bad ass but there is no way I can pull that off without some great difficulty).
