Your Biggest Mistake in Gaming

[lukey94]

This is a thread to talk about any mistakes you have ever made to do with gaming e.g wrong console, missed a deal or glitched a game and got completely screwed over

Just any thing to do with gaming

mine would be buying a Macbook

I just threw away an hour of progress in Fallout 3... that'll teach me not to trust too much on the Autosave.

This.
Rather getting one for free and spending my PC money on a car. Yes I'd rather have my PC.

 

[Gamine]

Blowing up my XBOX, because it was the "American" version

Run windows on parallels, you will be surprised at the performance in games.

Mine? Buying Driver 3, buying Small Soldiers when I was a kid.

[TheFacelessOne]

Shooting a car in Left 4 Dead on purpose.

 

[Gladion]

Testing world of warcraft... :S

A mistake I made on the origional FF tactics. I tend to be the completest type, so when I found out that by accident I had thrown away a mission item that only pops up once in the whole game, and that was required for me to access the last group of missions, I swore. Then restarted*sigh*.

The amount of times I have done that on games is uncounted. Playing till my DS dies and not saving regularly usually results in several hours of lost work, and a refusal to play that game, for a few days at the least.

Yeah, I know that feeling. I really hate it when I have to do something again that I've already done for some stupid reason such as a crashing game, corrupt savegame, or totally unfair game element. If I lose a lot of progress or it happens more than once it may even make me so frustrated that I don't feel like playing the game at all anymore.

Ha! Indeed, . The amount of times I have been tempted to throw a controller/whole PC across the room (I never actually do, I am British after all *sniffs*)...

Buying Sonic Unleashed.

Worst. Sonic. Game. Ever.
If not, just the worst game ever.

[Nivag the Owl]

Playing Ninjabread Man!

 

[TheMonkeySlayer]

Playing Maplestory.

 

[Mezzlegasm]

[gr33l]

buying spectraball and that pizza syndicate sequel

 

[reyttm4]

Mine would be in S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow Over Chernobyl, there was this one mission kinda long and when I had finished it I clicked load instead of save that may not seem that bad but then the next 3 times I did that level I kept doing it, SO FRUSTRATING
