Your Gaming "oh come the fuck on!" moments

[rabidmidget]

Every time I'm walking up behind someone (almost always an Engineer or Sniper) as the Spy in TF2 and they turn around at the last second. And there's no way you back out of it, as you're so close and you're obviously a Spy. So you end up panickingly slashing at their face, knowing you look like a total fail-Spy, until they whip out their melee weapon and knock you on your arse with a single hit.

I mean, you've been staring in the same direction for the last three minutes, why do you have to turn around now?

I know that feeling, although recently I have realised that you become a lot less obvious if you simply face away from them but watch them in the corner of your screen, most people won't even bother spy checking you if you don't directly face them.

Occasionally in Assassins's Creed (all of them) the free running gets a bit stupid. Wanting to jump on posts? No, fuck you, I want to die in the water, even though the control stick was maybe a degree or two off and the game probably should have homed in on the fact that I wanted to jump to the post, not die a watery death. Also the execute chains in Brotherhood. I'm tapping X (360) to attack the next guy in line and what does he do? Swings the damn sword or whatever I've got out as an attack and totally kills any chance of me getting a challenge done. I love the series, but they still have some bugs to work out.

You know that you can actually counter attack if an enemy attacks you during an execution streak, even if it interrupts your current animation? That helped me tremendously. You can't do it with brutes or spearmen, but they attack less often and I target them first.

Was playing BioShock 2, and I had just finished protecting my Little Sister while she got the ADAM out of some guy. I had used the last of my ammo and med kits while fighting off the splicers. Just after I dropped off the Little Sister, I was walking back to the nearest vending machine to get some more stuff, and I happened to walk past a Big Daddy. Apparently he thought I was too close to his sister, because he decided to give me a good smash in the face with his drill. Anyway, just as I was nearing the vending machine when a Big Sister decided she wanted to come and beat the crap out of me. Bloody fantastic.

Way too many things. I'll go with just two games here though. Assassins Creed: I'm going after the templar garrsion commander. I've climmbed to the top of the walls, killed the archers quietly, climbed down to the lowest point that I can inside. I attempt an aerial assassination. Altair misses and lands face first on the cobbles between the commander and the soldiers he's been shouting at.

Red Dead Redemption. Specifically, online griefers. More specifically, two bastards I met when I was only level 4 or something. It started innocently enough. I encountered them on the map. One guy I ignored, one guy I shot in the head. Once, just for the fun of it. (Two seperate occasions, by the way.) This guy then shot me back, killing me several times. The guy who I never shot did the same. After many deaths, I decided to just run. Both of them kept killing me, with weapons like sniper rifles and dynamite, which I couldn't match at my low level. After something like 30 deaths each, I was just riding flat out trying to escape, and still the rape continued. One guy had a much faster horse than me, so I just had to quit. The guy who I hadn't shot the first time chased me from Mexico all the way to Blackwater before continuing to kill me. I eventually quit there as well. People who do this are annoying, but at least if you're on the same level as them you can kill them back some times, and it makes them a lot more likely to get tired of it. These high level bastards though...

Black Ops. Im a stud when it comes to sniping. Must have been an off moment. Guy sat still for all 5 shots. Couldve sworn the first 2 shots to his face standing STILL, wouldve killed him... frustrated I went for the body and it still registered as misses. The guy finally turns around slowly, and shotguns me at mid range...... wtf dude.

Playing a match of MAG on SVER suppression. Every damn time I'm in the middle warehouse, it seems like everyone and their grandmother are throwing as many grenades as possible. It gets to the point where I can't even navigate the place BECAUSE I CAN'T FUCKING SEE THROUGH THE MOTION BLUR FROM THE 128 GRENADES CONSTANTLY BEING TOSSED. -____________-

Biggest moment for me was in Lufia 2, the ancient cave. Thing had 99 randomized floors you could only go further in unless you found the one item that could let you leave and it only appeared in a chest somewhere after level 19. When you enter you get reset to level one, lose all your spells and all but very specific equipment ( most of which is earned by finding special chests within the cave itself). Making any kind of respectable progress in this place required characters to be decked out in that special equipment, plus finding certain spells, and not getting trapped by the super monsters that start showing up in the later floors.

The first time I made it all the way to the last floor I find out the US version has a graphical bug for this floor making navigation a trial and error affair. Then I finally find the boss of the cave. I start the fight, hit with everything I've got and after 3 turns it runs away without even attacking me once. The boss is gone and can't be fought again without doing the whole cave over again. So much rage...and yet I keep trying.

Another game was Disgaea (the first one). The first time I fought Baal. Bugger was level 4000 and my best character was around 2900 something. Yeah. Then at the rematch, I came back with a level 4000 something and couldn't hurt him because I didn't have my weapon or armors leveled up enough. Turns out my character had some shitty level 3 weapon and crappy armor for some reason instead of the ones I had been using to level him which had gotten shuffled to a different character. I didn't notice it, best character dead in one hit. Finally got revenge, then wanted more revenge. I go back to re-fight him to find he turned into a prinny and gained 2000 more levels and way better gear. I get owned again. Yeah, damn over leveled crack bosses. Similar moments for the other secret bosses but I was not as far behind in levels with those two.

Also, Dante Must Die mode. Which game? Yes.

Oh, and any game with competitive multiplayer has plenty of these moments.

 

[OniaPL]

If we talk about single player, every single time i shoot someone in the head and he/she keeps running is such a moment.

And like the poster above said, multiplayer is filled with them. However, they have been really entertaining in CoD black ops (for example, I died because someone threw a grenade at my head. I died from the impact, not the explosion).

 

[markisb]

every time i run into a claymore on black ops.

The only thing that made me say this recently was the fucking hit reg in Bad Company 2's multiplayer.

BOOM, shotgun blast to the back of someone's skull...
Hit marker.
BOOM, again.
Hit marker.
BOO- Oh wait, guy turned round and one shot me in the chest with an M9 somehow.

Then game with shitty hit detection gets to fuck off for a few hours while I play something which will piss me off less, like Super Meat Boy... >_>

I feel your pain....I unloaded and entire clip on one guy (30 rounds!)...half to his face half to his chest and he just keeps running at me and bam, 1 shot...im dead....WTF???

Was playing Black Ops online today on my PS3 with a friend (splitscreen online = greatest idea ever) and I SWEAR I got a triple kill, yet I simply got three assists! Apparently, one guy killed one of them with a ballistic knife and the other two were cut down with a guy with a HK-21.

Naturally both me and my mate were like "Oh, come on! What the fuck!??"

 

[GodofCider]

Dawn of Mana. The nightmarish little goblin creatures which are so pathetic as to not even attract your attention threw these tracking boomerang like things, from an absurd distance; often I couldn't even see the creatures.

The level designs favored very tall levels with many puzzles incorporating the whole maps layout. So what would happen is I'd be jumping along, with my customary inhuman physical prowess, make an impossible leap near the top of the map, which I can clear easily for some reason, only to be hit randomly with a boomerang-thing while listening to the signature vocalization of: "Eer-goi-goit!"

Now you'd think this wouldn't be a problem. But no, according to the games mechanics being grazed by one of these little hand thrown objects, is akin to smashing face first into a brick wall. You stop. And subsequently fall a hundred or so meters, only to repeat the arduous task of climbing to the top again. Courtesy of some random goblin thing from halfway across the map screaming out: "Eer-goi-goit!" as you fall.

Fun times.

Note that this is the only game where I have literally begged for it to end. This proceeded to happen in what I perceived to be the final boss fight; only to discover that it was, in fact, not the final boss.

 

[captaincabbage]

every time i run into a claymore on black ops.

Something that enfuriating could only be trumped by being hatcheted in the back at point blank in the last three seconds of a wager match. D:<

 

[Everin]

Constantly running out of ammo on Bioshock, switching to plasmids only to find out that they're almost gone too, and then dying because I CAN'T FUCKING KILL ANYTHING WITH NAUGHT BUT A WRENCH AND A FEW DOLLARS IN MY POCKET.

Amen brother. Although those dollars can kill you when you don't have any!

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Time for me to add another one:

despite my hatred of Black Ops I decided to be a merciful bastard for a change and gave it one last change to impress me. 3 minutes into the game I saw a guy charging towards me, seemingly just being a fucking kamikaze nutcase. I shot him...and shot him again. In fact I unloaded an entire gun's worth of ammo directly into this guy's chest, but he kept coming...then he knifed me, only to get shot a second later by one of my teammates.

WHY the FUCK couldn't I fucking shoot him? If the game was going to let him die anyway, why not let ME, the guy with the assault rifle, do it instead of the coward hiding behind him with a pistol!?

 

[Corpse XxX]

Fallout new vegas has many of these moments.. Most of them originating in the fact that the game freezes every 5 minutes and you have to reload.. so you have to do it all over again..

No wonder the game lasts long, you have to do everything twice..

 

[captaincabbage]

This reminds me, one time on MW2. My team got 12 Predator Drones, around 10 Harries and 8 AC-130's...I could imagine them all screaming "COME THE FUCK ON" at their screens.

Alot on Red Dead Redemption Online. I'll be strolling along, minding my own business... when BLAM! Sniped from across the freaking map.
More from Red Dead:
-Your favorite horse gets shot when you're taking away a bounty target (although that can make the way you kill the bastard who shot it a lot more fun)
-You're doing a hideout, and some other player tags along, and once it's over, they blow your head clean off
-You walk into town.... woah a gang's attacking... pull out your gun... woops you're dead
-You're in a duel, have all your shots placed... but wait, John won't fire, and gets his ass killed!

I can't fucking stand players who just start mindlessly killing others for no reason. I was level 16 doing gang hideouts, and a level 50 starts sniping me for shits and giggles.

Also, when you call for your horse when picking up a bounty, and it didn't fucking come.

This happened on my last bounty that I needed for 100% and he just would not fucking come. Once I got the bounty back, I fucking massacred my horse.

Gah, players that kill others for no reason at all in RDR are the worst, that's exactly why I always play on Hardcore mode. Simply getting to lv.50 in Hardcore is tough enough, so after I finally get there, I simply demolish the asses of anyone who dares to try and kill me.

Also, whenever my gf is playing online and she is assaulted by a lv.50 5x legendary I can't help but snatch the controller away from her and hunt those fuckers down, until they leave the game. No shit I was called a hacking prick by some 14 year old when I sniped him with a rolling block rifle after he killed my girlfriend severel times. I quickly responded by putting one right between his eyes until he apologized.

Only fury for the dickheads.

Psychonauts, the meat circus level. God, that level is frustrating..... still a good game though.

Napoleon: Total War. I'm playing the Brits. I put all my resources into conquering Paris, cause, you know, Napoleon is a pretty damn impressive opponent. Better deal with him soon. After pretty much the most hard fought battle in history I pretty much lose all my troops and generals in the grand siege of Paris, but I prevail. Of course I left the city intact because I really didn't feel like an uprising.

Anyway, even after leaving all the troops that survived as a garrison, after fixing the entire city and after making taxes absolutely ZERO in the entire region, they rebel against me anyway. And then three HUGE FUCKING rebel armies spawn out of FUCKING NOWHERE. France was defeated, Napoleon was gone, their army completely annihilated, their equipment gone. But no, even after giving those stupid Frenchies everything they wanted, they still manage to spawn a gigantic army, armed to the teeth with cannons and cavalry. They conquered Paris back in one turn.

Uninstalled the game immediately.

and here i thought the french abhorred war? heh
