The OH-COME-ON-NOW Moment

[Flipip]

I'm trying desperately to thing of a few good ones, but one keeps coming to mind. Final Fantasy XIII, the boss fight against Barthandalus (or however you spell it), i fought him over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over, and over and...well you get the idea...i finally beat him, jump up from my seat with excitment and shout "YES!"...only for a cutscene to play were he says "no mortal can defeat me".

I could have had the same cutscene from being beaten by him, as that is essentially what has happened.

I HATE sliding block puzzles

I don't mind sliding block puzzles. I can do them fairly easily. That is, of course, as long as the puzzle is actually solvable. But if you solve most of the puzzle and end up with this:

1	2	3	4
5	6	7	8
9	10	11	12
13	15	14	.

. . then it is mathematically impossible to solve it. No clever moves will flip the 14 and 15 without messing up something else. If the programmer didn't know this, and it slips through testing, you'll get an unsolvable puzzle half the time.

When you get 5 hit combo'd in MK when their HP is at like || this much. Then Xray you and you lose.


FUUUUUUUUUUU


Especially annoying with Mileena.

yeah, that does my head in, so does Shao Kahns 4 shoulder charge combo or his X-ray (60% damage, coooome oooooon, even for a boss that's harsh)

Mileena's teleport air kick is the most annoying thing in this game so far.

four kicks and a forward roll??? she's a *****, least the game's not easy i spose.

I got quite a few OH COME ON moments playing Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus. Oddysee especially as there was no quicksave function back then. So you have scenarios where you need to be chased by a scrab (which are giant fucking red monsters that kill you if you so much as touch them, miss a jump by a centimetre or stop running for even a second) for about 5 screens, while leading a single mudoken to safety.

And you need to do this THREE TIMES... back and forth.

It takes absolute, flawless timing and precision and if you screw up a tiny bit you have to start all over again because there's no quicksave. It's enough to almost make you pull your beard out. Fun though and extremely satisfying when you succeed.

 

[Fanta Grape]

Every time I'm cloaked and I bump into an enemy Pyro or enemy holding a shotgun. Since I use Conniver's Kunai and my max health is shit in a bun, four out of five times I'm instakilled.

Don't use it. Terrible weapon in general. In fact, probably about 80% of the weapons in TF2 are useless after the engineer update.

and on the topic of TF2: Snipers. Bloody snipers.

 

[Cool Welshy]

Not sure if this one counts, but apparently the Australian Government's rethink of the R 18+ is to add it but to get rid of MA 15+.

Okay, granted this way doesn't mean we miss out on the next Mortal Kombat but what's the bloody point that?

 

[Dogstile]

Blood Bowl has these moments, thanks to it's reliance on dice rolls. In one match I lost ever. single. one. of my rolls; passes, blocks, even picking up the freakin' ball, even when using top notch players!

Oh dude, I would have quit without saving and started again. I can take a loss, but bullshit is the limit

But yeah, bloodbowl for me too. I had an ogre go up to a snotling and roll three attacker down dice.

A SNOTLING. Do you have any idea how small those things are? Heres a hint.

An ogre is roughly twice your size.

A snotling will, if its particularly tall, make it to your knee.

 

[rokkolpo]

Just yesterday I was playing Prince of Persia The sand of time and goddamnit, I came to a point I had long forgotten.

You had to jump from a rope onto a button which would lower a little bridge, then jump back on the rope before it swung away then repeat on another button and fast before the bridge went up again.....ALSO my rope was fucking rigged because it only went diagonal, no matter which direction FUCKING diagonal! (also the floor was covered in spikes, so one mistake means death)

/rant
Let's just say it's been some years since my last ragequit.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

They got rid of the /roar command in WoW for Worgen.

Now my Worgen warrior just looks retarded when he changes stances.

Recent: Playing as a Spy in Team Fortress 2. I'm fairly good at it, but sometimes fate just craps all over you:

-Rounding a corner? Bump into a Pyro.
-Trying to get to the battlements while cloaked? Get shot in the head by a Sniper that was aiming for someone else.
-An unaware Engineer is upgrading his sentry. Right before you stab he suddenly whips around and crit-wrenches you in the face.
-Hiding in a corner? A teammate runs over to where you are, drawing enemy fire. You both die.

OH COME ON NOW!

Nostalgic: Diddy Kong Racing. Pretty much the entire second half of Adventure mode is one big "OH COME ON NOW" in terms of difficulty. Then when you finally thought you were finished, they suddenly trot out "Adventure 2."

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

When someone gets away in League of Legends (does anyone actually play LoL here?) on less than 50hp. Or when you are trying to run away and you get killed when you think you are safe and sound.

Yep, avid lol player. When i play as Vieg or a soft champ and get exhausted/ignited/nuked at the beggining of every damn team fight. We win and im always the only casualty. My team deciding im some sort of ritual to the team fight gods before they intervene.

I disagree, no matter how many times the Conniver's Kunai screwed me over, it's saved my life many times. Often I'd be on fire or bled and get a backstab to save me life, or I'm low on health (shocking with a weapon that gives you the lowest max health, I know) and a backstab gets me overhealed.

I generally use it over the butterfly knife and definitly over Your Eternal Reward.

that's because veig one-shots people , which brings me to another "Oh Come on now!" moment...

Okay I in a little shock right now because it has JUST happened.
So i was playing Left 4 Dead 2 realism advanced.(With 3 friends,we were talking.)
The Parish.
Last Sequence.The Bridge.
The ones who already played that sequence knows there is a Tank just before you go to the helicopter.
So 3 of us came to the helicopter while the other one was covering us with minigun.
We made it to the helicopter.A smoker got him.
I shot its tongue with the sniper.He got smoked again,right away.
He fell.
I said cover me to the other 2 and went to pick him up.
It was bloody hard but i made it.
I picked him.
He used adrenalin.
We were running to the helicopter.
At the last moment I got smoked.
OH MY GOD.3 SMOKERS.WHAT THE F**K
But wait i am coming to the best part.
My friends Shot the smoker.
And I was slow as hell.
And at he last moment....
A TANK FUCKİNG PUNCHED ME.
I fell.
So..
I am person number 3.
Person 2 was coming to me when we all were saying:Leave no one behind.
When he saw 2 tanks together he said:Fuck it.
And shot me in the head multiple times to be sure i was dead.
He sprinted back to the helicopter and they finished The Parish realism advanced.
I died.
I was speechless at first but that was the biggest OH-CMON-NOW moment of my life.

The giant Boar thing from Nier. You have to "kill" it three times, then run away from it, then "kill" it another two times after that. And each time he dies he leaves gas that takes away health (IIRC).

L4D2 had these moments a lot as well, more so than L4D1. You barely survive a couple of huge zombie hordes and surprisingly well-coordinated SE's, you're nearly at the safe house; hello Tank!

Getting matched against opponents of greater difficulty.

Dawn of War 2 pulled this 'joke' with me time and time again.

Hehe. Try World of Tanks.

Sometime ago,
When playing Army of Two: the 40th Day, (with my cousin)
we were almost at the end of the chapter, of resucing the chinese boy who is trying to help his parents, and we were trying to save the cilivans in a, somewhat theater, like, room but with no wall ,since it was blow to bits and thanks to my friend here(cousin)we were compromised and since having that happen they were ready to pull the trigger to the cilivan's head' but who comes to the rescue?! And you guessed correctly, not me but my cousin but having a bad aim and also accuracy he somehow managed to kill both the cilivans and the soldiers, leaving me dead on the ground trying to tied down the captain and we had to restart the checkpoint over again, oh and not once did we have to do this but about 3,4,5, or 6 times or so...
So I decided to restart the entire level and having doing that, we were locked from the weapon's cabin leaving me ammo-less and having my bad shot cousin


Leaving me with my " OH-COME-ON-NOW!!!"

Other M, when she starts flipping out at the presence of Ridley. Not exactly in the context of this thread, but hey, it's what I said.

 

[Ymbirtt]

I just got one today. Playing RuneScape, because I'm cool, Dungeoneering (big randomly generated dungeon with tons of monsters and traps and stuff) with 4 other people, cleaning out a particularly tough room by myself, and down to my last 240/920 hitpoints. I was in a situation where I could kill the last skeleton without taking any damage, when I was called away by the leader because I needed to open a door at the other end of the dungeon. Planted a gatestone so I could get back there quickly, then teleported over to him. The room was completely empty, and all it needed was me to pick the lock on a sarcophagus so everyone else could carry on. 'ported in, clicked the coffin, and I got hit by a booby trap. For 240 damage. Oh dear, you are dead. I'd fought off hordes of undead both earlier and later in the dungeon, but I get defeated by a sodding booby trap. Come on. Really?

 

[BanthaFodder]

alright... playing The Sacrifice in L4D2...
I go on ahead far enough to allow the other team to spawn. The others tell me to wait for a bit, so I go back to the spawn area. then a charger knocks me into the water, a boomer explodes on Louis and Francis, the swarm starts tearing them up, and Zoey's afk. match ends within 2 minutes.
