The OH-COME-ON-NOW Moment

[MiracleOfSound]

every time i died in GTA4 when i was RIGHT AT THE END OF THE FUCKING MISSION!

Rockstar suck at checkpoints.

OT:

Hawke's mum in DA2. That storyline was utterly stupid.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

being blindsided by a quick time event.

Multiple times have I reached a cutscene, and I set down the controller to take a drink or grab a handfull of chips and suddenly I'm attacked with PRESS B TO NOT DIE

 

[MattRooney06]

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

This....

Also in mortal komabat 9

It's already enough when you have to do a 1 vs 2 fight.....it's even worse when your the one, and the two are kintaro and goro (pretty much the most powerful enimeis in the game....and somtimes your hits just straight up dont work on them)

Story mode has a way of fucking you over like that

*PORTAL 2 REFERENCES*
When my IDIOT brother (the only CO-OP Portal partner I have) shoots another Portal at the wall where my Portal is, and deletes my Portal, and sends me plummeting to ny death because the Hard Light bridge that I was walking on suddenly dissapeared.
If at first you don't succeed... You fail.

 

[badgersprite]

When a buggy game or not-even-visibly scratched disk causes your game to freeze in the last boss fight and it takes ten tries to do it fast enough that the game doesn't freeze (true story; I never want to see the fucking Archdemon ever again). Also, when you realise you've wasted all the time you put into that game because you know you will never be able to make it past that cutscene where the game glitched ever again.

 

[redrefugee]

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

This and when a enemy is hiding behind an open door. Also, when you accidentally move into an enemies line of sight

Now that I think about it, I'm not convinced I enjoyed playing X-Com...

 

[Snork Maiden]

That part in Super Meat Boy.

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

IWBTG is so so much more apt for this haha.

Incidentally I'd *much* rather play through IWBTG again over playing Super Meat Boy. IWBTG is one of my favourite games ever, SMB is merely dammed good.

 

[shemoanscazrex3]

Any long and hard boss battle that once you think you've beaten the second form happens

 

[Zakarath]

In Mount & Blade, trying to defend your one little village from an ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY.

 

[Katana314]

I haven't played street fighter 4 in a long time, but when I came back to it, this became my "Come on" moment.

Your next opponent is....Zangief!

 

[Corporal Yakob]

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

Fuck sliding box puzzles! I failed that section about 6 times! And it took me literally a whole real life hour to do the sliding box puzzle in RE4 as Ashley!

Shogun 2:

"Your ninja has a 95% chance of successfully assassinating this harmless and unarmed Christian missionary."

"Your ninja was caught and executed."

Useless bastard!

"Your clan has all the unique trade resources but no other clan will trade with you."

Arrgh!

"You are now Shogun-every last man, woman and child in all Japan is out for your blood and all your allies and vassels have betrayed you."

ARRGH!

Necrovision: Lost Company:

I still can't defeat the final boss because his bloody gas-mask spider minions keep attacking me from behind and shoving me into the path of his fireballs >:I

Yeah, Shogun 2 can be a pain
"What? My capital is under attack by two armies from different factions, one of which was my ally last turn and cumulating to 5000 men? On turn 15???"
Yeah >.>, a real pain...

I lost my best field army as the Chosokabe in enemy lands around turn 4 ("How the fuck do that AI lesser clan get so awesome!?!") and got reduced to just my starting province for around 20-30 turns, then my General became a big useless pervert and then I had to fight rebellions in all my provinces for another 20 turns because no one had any food >:I

Shogun does have a habit of that. If you are on Hard diff or higher, the AI spawns "Fantasy armies" that they could not possibly upkeep or recruit, which is a MASSIVE pain.
Oh, and this one time, My best general switched sides in a battle >.>

Wow, I was only on Normal but somehow that doesn't surprise me, especially as my son and heir was extremely disloyal and kept getting new disloyal attritubes no matter what he was doing (he won a great victory for my clan! Now he has a ambitious wife (-1 to loyalty)....bugger!) >_>

Easily solved by Metsuke :3
OT: I think Shogun 2 might be the worst culprit for perpetrating "Oh come on now!" moments. Its just a dick of a game sometimes. (Fun as hell though).

 

[Cowabungaa]

I had a lot of these yesterday while sniping in TF2. I can pull of brilliant shots of rocket/sticky jumping Soldiers and Demos, can pop Scouts in mid-jump, but I kept missing near-stationary Heavies. I mean, come oooon!

Actually, if you've payed attention to the story, you would've known that

Spoiler

she grew a conscience. Hell, she even explains how they've sort-of bonded when Chell saved her. Of course she can kill Chell, she just doesn't want to any more. It's quite obvious.

I haven't played street fighter 4 in a long time, but when I came back to it, this became my "Come on" moment.

Your next opponent is....Zangief!

He's relatively easily trolled with any character with a ranged move.

I needed those to keep the hungry peasents in their place: I need better castles, hunger be dammed!

It does seem that way to me, I've not yet managed to complete a campaign on account of the Realm Divive (against you and only you, forever you) event >_>

[smeghead25]

My OH COME ON moment? The hidden area in Abe's Oddysee where you have to say 'Hello, follow me" and then RUNLIKEABITCH from the Scrab THREE TIMES to save the three different mudokons. And then at the last second you leave it too late to jump into your bird portal and you hit the wall, fall over, and get torn to shreds by the Scrab who is probably laughing harder than the laddergoat guy at your mis-timing.
