What is the stupidest thing you've done [In a game]?

[Anthony Wells]

Batman: Arkham City, I played the first game multiple times so I know how much guns hurt, so of course I decide to charge the first gun toting mob I see in game (after the church where if you are seen they shoot the hostages) after that moment, I shut the game off, and gave my brain some much needed sleep

your Avatar is relative to this comment.

OT: hmmm...stupidest thing i have ever done... thinking two worlds two would be good. also charging the horseless headless horseman on tf2 as demo man with nothing but a sword...i won and killed him with it...but by god was it stupid to do that

Took an oath to beat up/kill any minstrel who dare sing to me in assassins' creed 2
I was forced to re-play like 50 missions.
it was still worth it.

My first playthrough of Fallout 3.

I was new to the "Explore world, Loot shit, Get XP" thing so I did pretty terrible my first time around.

I was helping 3-Dog by retrieving the Satallite in the History Museum. I killed a mutant and jacked his super sledge. I became over-encumbered. I had no idea what the words meant at the time so I assumed it was a unknown glitch.

I went through the entire Museum while walking at a steady .5 miles per hour.

Glorious.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

The first time I played through FFVII I had just got out of Midgar and been chuffed to bits! (I had played other FF games and knew that this meant EPLORATION!!! ) I was chuffed to bits and saved! It had felt like forever playing the first bit, and it didn;t help that I have played half the first bit before on a friends psx before.

I had another friend come over, and I showed him the game. We started up a new game, and he played the first hour or so while I watched and gave advice! I then saved it for him... I was so used to the order of buttons to press to save that I save. right. over. my. other. game!!!!

Devistation!!!!

Left 4 Dead 2--In the carnival level, we come up on a Charger, and it picks me to...well, charge. At this point, I'm holding a katana, and although I could switch the my shotgun, my thoughts at the time were "kill it dead." So I charge at the Charger charging me, clicking my mouse as fast as possible. Stupid, yes...but not only did I cut down the Charger, I got an achievement for it.
Fable--"Well, now that I just got out of the Hero's Guild, I should go complete my first quest. Hey, look a guard...hmm. I have the weakest bow, but he's just wearing a cloth cap; that can't block an arrow. Alright, let's kill us a--oh crap."
Fallout New Vegas--The gun Thump-Thump looks remarkably similar to a rifle when you're paying attention to how the enemy's attacking you rather than how you're attacking the enemy. I wound up killing myself by launching roughly eight grenades at a giant radscorpion two feet away from me.

Make a wooden fireplace in a bigass treehouse in Minecraft. Good thing I made a backup file for that world.

 

[Creator002]

Demon's Souls.
After pressing the wrong button several times and failing at the same by falling of a ledge:
"OK. Remember. Do not press circle when you get there."
Walks up to edge, sees skeleton, presses circle, falls of edge again.

Also Halo 3 during SWAT:
(Me, to friend) "I'm going to shoot you in the head."
"No. You do that, I leave."
(Pretending to shoot) "Pew pew pew."
Finger slips and I shoot him in the head, instant kill. He left.

 

[Death God]

Repeatedly dying because I didn't look around well enough and missed the glowing indication telling me where to jump at.

 

[RedDeadFred]

ate the poison apple in oblivion instead of setting it down.

This.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

First thing that comes to mind is when I chased the Monkey King down and killed him, then instead of marching forward into the unoccupied upper lane, I double backed into the central lane and got ganked in HoN earlier today.

 

[Kimarous]

First console: N64
Third game: Ocarina of Time
First boss ever: Queen Gohma
Objective: attack the eye to kill her

I stun Queen Gohma, I run up to her face, and I slash her in the eye! ...only once. I wait, she gets up, and she starts attacking again. I repeat this process. She still doesn't die. This process goes on for hours, including several attempts as I get myself killed.

"WHY WON'T YOU DIE? I'M DOING WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO!"

Finally, I figure it out: I'm supposed to CONTINUALLY attack the eye. I have felt stupid about the incident ever since.

Infamous: Kicked a mail box for no particular reason, was killed on the fourth kick. Not by some baddy or something, just *plunk* dead, wake up on stretcher.

 

[SwiggleDyl]

Playing Jedi Academy, opening the console and spawning a ton of Luke Skywalkers before changing my allegiance to the Dark Side... That experiment went really well...

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Tried to take off from a normal road in a jet liner while under heavy fire in Just Cause 2.

The crash was spectacular.

 

[farscythe]

any multiplayer shooter i blow myself up with grenades usually with some fancy trick shot where it bounces off five walls before landing on my head
trying to stick c4 on tanks coming right at me is another one im prone to..

in racers it would be flooring it down a long straight watching the turn come closer and wondering what im forgetting.. then smacking straight into the wall

 

[The Eupho Guy_v1legacy]

Died by strafing off a cliff in Painkiller on E5M3 (Old Monastery) while fighting a single monk. This being the last level before the last boss fight, you'd think I would've learned to watch where I'm going by then.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

During one of the final stand offs with the Chimera in Resistance 2, I was stuck in an area with a very predictable attack pattern, where precise frag grenades and shots counted to get through the area. After trying for almost an hour I lost it, and just went in, guns blazing without any cover.

It actually worked and I was so jazzed up about the accomplishment that I failed to realize that I was out of ammo and when a huge Chimera came to shoot me with a large laser, I couldn't shot it down and he gunned me down instead.

 

[Letitha]

Ah... online multiplayer CoD with a friend. Stabbing each other between each wave of zombies probably didn't help.

 

[The Funslinger]

In recent memory, Dark Souls...

No specific moment, I just seem to do stupid things for no reason in it.

could this be due to the unrelenting difficulty, and makes players feel stupid because of lack of knowledge of what to do...

disclaimer: I've never played demon's souls / dark souls

Well there is that, but I quite often will walk off an edge, roll off an edge, flip off en edge...
... lower my shield to attack, when I know I need to block.

Use the wrong item, hit the wrong button.
(the amount of times I healed instead of attacked in the beginning was ridiculous -_-)

I have a tendency to forget what I'm supposed to do, then die for it.

Hmm, I've been thinking of getting Dark Souls. I was worried it might just be a generic third person hack n'slack (albeit with ramped up challenge). How is it? What features can you highlight? What is the class system like? Is the variety of weapons good? (e.g. sidegrades as opposed to/or along with upgrades) Sorry if this is a hassle to answer.

Pretty much my early days (noob) when I first started playing Guild Wars. I didn't understand how trading work so I accidently give a stranger 500 gold's. That's not the worst thing.
One time I was in a group ready to take on this hard quest (wipe out a village full of pirates). One guy was afk (heading to the toilet). Just as he left, a player spawn into town saying he will single handily complete that quest for a group as long they pay for his service. We were chatting how much of a jerk this guy is and the afk guy return asking what's going on. I private message him about the guy until I realise I PM the wrong player and end up PM that guy charging for his service.
Needless to say I tell the group heading to the quest location already.
