The OH-COME-ON-NOW Moment

[Johnny Reb]

The first time i played Star Wars: Knights of the old republic, I was on Kashyyyk and i had landed on the planet about 4 hours ago, when all of a sudden i accidentally hit the little power button on my xbox with my big toe. its then that i realized that i hadn't saved my game in 4 hours. i had to start from the beginning of the planet all over again.

opponent last pokemon uses explosion/self destruct, running into a rare/shiny/roaming legendary while heading back to get more pokeballs, having an opponent jump out of dirt/sand/leaf/ash piles when your party is low health(I swear 5th gen has the most "pile" trainers ever, Emolga

The first time I beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Yellow. I was elated, even though most of my Pokemon fainted. Then BAM!, Gary Oak comes out and totally decimates me, forcing my to restart the whole thing.


Also, in ME2 I was on Mordin's mission and I didn't save for awhile. So I was going around and decided to use Biotic Charge. Next thing I know, I'm stuck on a pillar about 10 feet in the air and can't get down. Had to reload to the beginning of the mission.

Halo 1 when you're in "the Library" and meet the Flood for the first time. After repeatedly going through rooms that all look exactly the same, I just thought at some poin "Oh come on".

The entire library is just hell. On the other hand, you have guilty spark's humming to soothe y-MOTHERFUCKING BALL OF HATRED I WILL END YOU! I was so happy i finally got to murder him to bits. Where is an Artificial Intelligence Disposal Incinerator when you need one?

My most recent OCON was playing Reach: Empty magnum, five DMR rounds left... and two shielded high brutes spawn with a hammer and concussive rifle.

Having Duke Nukem MP auto save at 4 health while walking into a room full of enemies. I couldn't move an inch they just kept shooting me before I got control back!

The Maneater fight in Demon's Souls.

"Sweet, I've almost killed it! Just a few more spells an- what A SECOND HEALTH BAR?"

You don't find out untill the first one flies off to lick his wounds that you have to fight 2 maneaters.

On a very small bridge section.

And they love to lunge at you from halfway across it.

And the lunge knocks you off.

And now there's 2 of them at once.

Oh come on!

Playing Fire Emblem, being down to 1 enemy and then having one of your allies get killed forcing you to start over.

Any ending to L4D, especially when you're the last one left behind and you've just escaped by the skin of your teeth on a higher difficulty. You're doing the mad dash back to the escape and then- *TANK NOISES*

Dice game in The Witcher. Playing it just yesterday. I get very good hands and computer miraculously pulls a hand out of its arse that is just SLIGHTLY better than mine. I swear the computer cheats as it happens way too often daily to be just pure luck... 20 times of reloading until I finally beat a single opponent.

DMC4 Dante vs Nero: bullet stalemate

 

[Sudenak]

Quest 64 is a game whose subtitle should be OH COME ON NOW. Random enemy encounters every 10-15 seconds when it takes several minutes to cross a map, and the boss is always at the very end of these maps. Some of the monsters can heal almost all of their health back per attack, too, and never run out of MP :3

Every single time one of my attacks don't register when I'm fighting a boss in Mortal Kombat 9. :<

seriously shao kahn cheats!!!!

This I agree with, I suspect AI cheating too.

When you get Lightning's Eidolon in Final Fantasy XIII. When you get back to Lightning story, I was like "Yeah, time to give Odin a test drive" then Hope's like "Hey, can I lead?" and then I was like "NO NO YOU CAN'T." But not I had to wait til later to actually summon. Though looking back, it's just kinda funny XD

About 10 years ago, im playing Megaman X4, my first X game ever. I finaly make it to Sigma, and since im still an X noob, i sweat my ass off to get hes second form down. But its done, yay, i beat the game!!! Or not, of course he has a 3rd form, and im out of energy tanks. "OH COME ON!!!"

 

[Unia]

I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 for the very first time, going through Dead Center with bots. In the finale I got grabbed by a charger while running from a tank, and while getting smashed I saw another tank drop from a balcony. Sheesh! Ok, try number 2. I got further that time, but now the tanks (yes, definately several turned up at once) brought their friends smoker and hunter along. Did I mention this was on Easy?

Still don't know what was wrong with the Director that time. Haven't had as much challenge on any difficulty since then.

 

[UnmotivatedSlacker]

In No More Heroes. Hey is that boss crying? Guess I'll attack anyway. What, cutscene? What, she killed me!?

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

For me personally, my most recent moment...

Spoiler: Dragon Age 2 Spoilers Ahead

Anders, blowing up the freaking chantry. I'm sitting there listening to him agg-on the already bad situation, generally expecting to have to tell him to just shut up, then boom! I distinctly remember saying something like, "Oh come on now! You did not just do that! Tell me you did not just do that! You, you son of a... *Stream of curse-words here*!" Oh how I hate that man...

Mine reaction was similar, but shorter:

Spoiler

I yelled "THE HELL, ANDERS!?!". Killing him was an easy decision.

Any game where you have no choice but to do something stupid to advance the plot.

The only example I can think of right now is in the 2nd Pokemon Ranger game, where one of your allies gets captured and you're offered the chance to trade the Maguffin you literally JUST got a hold of for him (and since it's a Pokemon game, it's not like you'd be trading it for his life). The captured guy even says not to do the trade, so I went "Fuck it, he got himself into this mess, he can get himself out of it!"

It then tells you off and asks you the same question. I tried 5 times to refuse. Then I gave up... and THE BASTARD STARTED MOCKING ME!

God of War on God difficulty, the final room when you're fending off the Kratos clones from your family. I know it's God mode and all, but the clones can break your combos, deal a fuck load of damage and your family has the worst hit box ever.
