You first "**** This" Moment in Gaming

[TWiSTEDmerc]

There was Lego Rock Raiders because the AI just scatterbrained way too much when there was a huge space or they tended to ignore enemies; but I've gone back to it.

There's also Pokemon Fire Red, where I was completely underlevel, stuck at the final battle of the Elite 4 with 3 Pokemon fainted, and 1 at half-health. I didn't want to have to go through the entire thing again, so I just went with it. I honestly couldn't beat it, so I just put down the game.

Two years later, I try it out again, and I won.

Then I just didn't want to do all the stuff after the game.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

heh, i usually don't get rage'y at games. UNLESS SOME BLOODY SPAH SAPS MA SENTRY >:E then i go on a fail shotgun rampage -_-

 

[Ti0k0]

Wordfeud (Yeah, it is considered a game) Someone just introduced me to it, and laid down a word with 2 suffixes, fuck that shit! :S

 

[Gluzzbung]

Ten minutes after selecting my character in Borderlands and every second after that.

 

[RheynbowDash]

The f*cking plane level from CoD 4 on Veteran.
Seriously, screw that noise.

 

[Slash Dementia]

Mario Bros. for the NES. Seriously, I just can't play platformer games. Once I get up to the hammer brothers, I die because I can't avoid them. I stopped playing that game.

A whole bunch of older titles made me stop playing them.

This also coincides with my first timed playing ever.

Playing Sonic the Hegdgehog 1, at some point introduced me to the scariest, most panic inducing sound I've ever heard in a videogame.

Drowning.

I was too young to understand what the words meant, but at 3 am and having seen the game over screen for the fifth time that night...and copying dear old Dad.

"F@#k this. I'm going to bed. Mommy!"

I heard that. Labyrinth level i believe aswell. My first time was on sonic on the game gear. The Boss for the Jungle level was just f**k that.

Sly Racoon on the PS2 when I was about 9. For a kids game, the final boss, Clockwerk is unholy. After 2 weeks of on and off attempts,I just gave up.

GTA: Vice City, the mission on the second island when you have to drop bombs from an RC plane, took me 3 months to pass that mission.

this was horrible... luckily it was an optional side mission, after 2 months i quit trying.

Optional? You needed to finish it in order complete that particular story arc and move the main story line along.

 

[huigho1215]

Kingdom Hearts. After listening to Rikus speech for the tenth time (to this day I know the entire scene by heart, "THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RETAKINGKAIRISHEART!" so. many times.) I actually managed to take a substantial chunk of his health. As my hopes were raised and I saw an end to this dialog driven nightmare he promptly shouted "Welcome oblivion!" turned invincible, warped around the stage and flying towards me whilst attacking me and finished of the combo by causing pillars of unholy lightning to erupt from the ground....

I don't care if it would have been easier if I had only grinded a bit more. Riku is an asshole and whoever decided to make unskippable cutscenes need to be burned in a pit of never ending cheesy comments and extravagant hand gestures.

"The keyhole cannot be completed, so long as the princess still sleeps." I know that pain friend, he beat me countless times. I too could recite their lines from memory. I stopped playing for a couple months, forgot where I was started up and beat him. Unfortunately I skipped monstro so I didn't have double jump that allows you to jump over and glide to dodge his teleporting move.

Also Dissidia final fantasy, that last story chapter where all the Crystal enemies to fight go from level 101 to I think 110 chaos. Could not do it for the life of me. especially when they would not stagger from hitting my block then insta combo kill me. It makes me HATE them sooooo much.

Stormrise. Was so bad I returned it in the space of two weeks. It cost me £3 and was worth none of those pennies.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron for the Gamecube. It was just this one mission in the co-op mode. Escaping the Death Star II as the Millennium Falcon and a X-Wing. No matter who I played with, no matter which vehicle we chose, we would always fail. I realize that if just one person gets out then you win, but whoever plays as the Millennium Falcon gets screwed over by its slow speed and awful maneuverability. You can't even take things slow because there is a wall of fire speeding up behind you. Its just plain impossible. F**k that.

beat that mission easy. its not nearly as hard as you make it out to be. you just have to keep calm not push down the brake all the way and also boost on the straight aways but never push the button down all the way. its all about how fast you go the millenium falcon can take some pretty steep turns at high speeds you just need to be observant about the next turn and stay on the side farthest from the outside of the turn in order to make it.

Really? I mean it has been around five years since I last played it but I would always get stuck because the person piloting the X-Wing would boost all the way but the Millennium Falcon was just too big to slide through all those pipes and take all those twists and sharp turns. Maybe I'll try it again this upcoming holiday.

yeah you just need to pay extra attention and not ever brake completely or boost completely and you should make it through.

First Driver. You start locked in the parking garage and the only way to proceed is to pull off every stunt move. Learning curve like a brick wall, I got through it eventually but raged the entire time. As I remember at one point I pulled my unfortunate original controller out of the playstation and beat it with a steel toed boot until it was nothing but scattered components and a dangling cord...

 

[IDS3Remix]

All of Battletoads on the NES as a little kid. Never got around to beating that game, and it haunts me to this day... T__T

 

[Enverex]

Call of Juarez where you have to climb some weird rock mountain thing to get to the top (I can't remember why) and lasso a tree half way up. I could never figure out how to lasso it properly and it's one of those retarded checkpoint games, so every time I died (which was a lot of times) I had to replay the (what felt like) 45 minutes prior, EVERY SINGLE TIME. I never played it again.

 

[twaddle]

The egg part of DBZ: Legecy of goku 2

i never got past that part. YOU TURN FUCKING SUPER SAYAIN AND STILL CANT DO IT. CANT FLY THE EGG OVER!?!

 

[OneCatch]

The glitch that made the Fire Temple in Zelda: Ocarina of Time impossible to finish. Gave up on the game for about a year after having to restart!

I hit Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls right about the time that Skyrim came out.

So yeah, I need a few hundred hours being a hero and getting my confidence back in Skyrim before I take the Dark Souls plunge again.

Just finished that fight yesterday. Did it pretty cheaply, retreating ALL the time at the outside of the pillars, blocking Smough with them and hitting Ornstein with a Crystal Halbard whenever I could, even though he's weak to fire. After he died, which happened after me dying 10 times or something, Smough is pretty easy. All he does is slam the ground. Use the lightspear if you have it against Smough.
