The OH-COME-ON-NOW Moment

[Syndarr]

Onimusha, when Samanosuke is trapped in a flooding room and Kaede has to solve a sliding block puzzle to save him. I HATE sliding block puzzles, and suck at them under normal circumstances. And now I have to do one under a TIME LIMIT?! Oh, come on now!!

Chrono Cross, at the end of the first disc. I spent days trying to win that damn boss fight against Lynx, who wiped the floor with me every time. Then I finally beat him, and sat back to watch the cutscene that I was sure would explain all kinds of things. And then...my game froze.

Fortunately I'd saved right after the fight, but that didn't do me much good with a bad disc. I ended up having to contact Square Enix and send them my copy of the game so they could replace it. u_u

When playing Pokémon, when you're on that last grass tile and you get a random encounter.
In fact, any game where you're a step away from safety and you get a random encounter.

The pokemon scenario Is f***** annoying!

So close! SO CLOSE! *Cheesy battle music* -_______________-

Wild Soandso Appeared...LEVEL 2!

Go level 97 Suchandsuch!

When I'm stuck at a really hard part and I keep dying over and over and over....just to be killed in a cutscene at the end of the level (I'm looking at you MW2)

Right now (literally 40 seconds ago), in pokemon white, I was on my 14th battle subway singles fight, and a Gurdurr lands DynamicPunch 3 times in a row, killing all my team in one shots. Note : the move should normally only hit about one out of three times.
EDIT: And "Paralyzed, can't move" six times in a row; Protect working 3 times in a row; attack, sturdy stops him from dying, he attacks, next turn full heal and restart cycle.

And in all games, one hit kill weapons. Mainly halo stickies. There is NO protection from them, and even the tiny whiny orange bitches have them.

Anyone who plays Monster Hunter will understand the one word that causes my "Oh come on now" moments. Plesioth.

*Knockdown* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Anytime you get ambushed in a SMT game....

 

[hopeneverdies]

Keep an eye on the timer in the top right-hand corner next to the lifebar. While not my video, this has happened no less than three times on the Normal and Hard difficulty versions of that Spell Card each.

 

[Thespian]

That part in Super Meat Boy.

And that part in I wanna be the Guy, too.

 

[Scarim Coral]

When you clipping a wild Pokemon HP down and then suddently you Pokemon dealt a critical attack! Sorry my beloved Pokemon but no! Do that only in battle, not capturing!

 

[Floppertje]

doing the bank heist mission in GTA 4 for the third time in a row, I ALMOST got away from the cop, car stalls at the very edge of the circle. so I get out, get another car, go back to my mates. but one of them won't get in and I get shot by the cops through the window. ffffuuuuuu...

 

[RipperSU]

Every time New Vegas crashes. It REALLY drives me up the wall.

This. It's probably why I haven't touched it since I beat it.

 

[Aeonknight]

When you're alone in Demon's Souls, farming souls for repairs/stat boost/spell cost, and you get invaded by someone using a Scraping spear.
It's actually more efficient to kill yourself off rather than try to fight back...

 

[Zakarath]

In X-Com, when my guys somehow fail to notice the Chryssalid standing 5 feet away. In front of them.

That, and trying to beat that one fucking level in Halo 2 on Legendary with the nine thousand jackals with beam rifles.

 

[Ren3004]

Today, while driving. I kept shouting "OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, COME ON!!!" every time a light turned green and no one moved.

Mortal Kombat challenge tower #300 it's just so god damn hard D:

 

[aarontg]

Recently when I played the new mortal Kombat. I'm telling you that no matter how good you are you will always get your ass kicked by Shao kahn at least five times before you finally get a pattern (or cheap tactic) down. Not to mention that if you play on the ladder mode he can perform a fatality on you. So getting beaten and getting ripped in half guarantees another addition to my controller scrap pile.

 

[DonMartin]

Playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Facing the tiny zombie things for the first time. "Im glad they made this kind of realistic without any supernatura-OH COME ON NOW"

Playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
"Wow, this is really an improvement over the first one. I especially like how they added tougher human opponents this time, instead of- OH COME ON NOW FUCKING YETIS??"

and

"Well, at least yeti's are KIND OF realistic.. They're just mountain animals, or something. And atleast they didn't go- OH COME ON NOW WHAT THE HELL MUTATED SMURFS??"

 

[The Heik]

But anyway escapist-o-forum, what is your "OH COME ON NOW" moment?

In the God of War series, where you beat one tough enemy, only to have the game spawn 2 or more of the same bleeding bastards. OH COME ON!! I already beat it once! Adding more of the same dude is just drawing things out!

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Being attacked by bandits, being dragged across the world and dropped into enemy territory with no money, no soldiers and maybe without my sword. Man, Mount and Blade: Warband can really be a ***** if you stumble across bad luck.

 

[noxymoron19]

Your exploring in minecraft, You go mining, You find diamonds and your like FUCK YA. Then you can't find the way back to your house. So many suicidal feelings course through your body.

Oh come on now!

COME ON!

When you're about to kill someone and you get blindsided from someone coming from behind from where your team is spawning but somehow everyone missed.
