"You're screwed" moments

[Vault101]

Option #2 nailed it. I thought they were "discontinuing" my Shep's story. I worked hard to role play that character dag on it!

Spoiler: Also...

"Mass Effect 2....play as intrepid war Correspndant Diana/Daniel Allers!"

Are you suggesting that Bioware should have killed the series in the beginning of ME2 instead of in the last 15 minutes of ME3?!?!?!?!?

HAHAHA...especially funny if you spent hours upon hours crafting the perfect face

but seriously they would have never done that...if they did it would have been a bold move, but I mean shepards the face of the series...

I think playing as war correspondant Allers would be cool! provided she leanrs to emote

Battlefield 3 on the console gets especially hectic when their's enough tanks for the entire enemy team to jump on.

There's not much else that's disheartening as seeing 3 tanks approaching you from all different angles.

I made a quick face that felt right in ME1. I did however spend some time in ME2 tweaking the face and a large chunk of time in ME3 getting the face right. Why u no work face importer?

I know Shep is the face of the series, but it was my first ME2 play through and he died. I was hurt and confused...

And I think uncanny-valley Allers should have never happened. Perhaps we could have gotten a better ending if Bioware had not spent so much time and money (poorly) rendering Chobot into the game.

Dark Souls. Especially the early part of your first run through, when you don't know what to expect.

A few cliche skeleton soldiers? Pfft, easy. Hiyah! *Jump attack like a boss*. There, that wasn't so bad. Ha ha, the bones collapsed back into a pile. Why did everyone say this game was so hard? Wait, why are they getting back up? Why are there more of them? Ok, they're overwhelming my stamina gauge when I try to guard, this is getting kinda tricky. I think I'll just run away deeper into the cemetery and grab the loot, at least I'll get to keep that when I die. What a clever plan . . . HOLY SHIT, GIANT SKELETON!!

And then I die . . . again, and again, and again :'(

You're in first place and about to win the race... then you hear that dreaded alarming noise that indicates a spiny (blue) shell is heading straight at you. When that happens, you might as well retire from the race because you're pretty much in last place for the rest of the race.

Great JPG and yeah i'm totally with ya their.

 

[Doneeee]

I was playing Resident Evil 2 I had no herbs, a pistol with 2 rounds, and a hallway full of zombies beyond the room I was trapped in. Plus I hadn't saved in about an hour. I miss good old survival horror...

Space Marine, when you're stunlocked as a Raptor/Assault Marine by a Huge Slugga Nob in Exterminatus. You can do nothing unless one of your teammates distracts it somehow. Also when the Orks' Deff Dreads come out, accompanied by 'Ard Boyz and Scarboyz to drag you out of cover and you only have a chainsword, bolt pistol, and grenades. And Loyalist/Traitor Astartes running around with thunder hammers. If anyone knows how to deal with these guys (effectively) as a Raptor/Assault, I'd love to hear tips, lol.

However, I have survived situations where I thought I'd be screwed. I've been surrounded by lots of dudes in Seize Ground who somehow didn't quite manage to kill me. They, of course, ended up dead for their troubles.

I was replaying Metal Gear Solid 3 once when I noticed I forgot to pick up the heat-vision goggles, and I was at the Fear boss-fight. I still managed to win, though. Quicker than on my first time, actually. I guess I'm just more awesome now.

 

[Furioso]

Pretty much every single time I get spotted in Amnesia, especially when I'm hiding in a one door room and the monster decides to see whats behind a certain door in the hallway...

 

[Alpha Maeko]

I've never fought a weapon before.

I start a battle with Ruby Weapon.

The ass handing begins.

 

[ImPeruvianGuy]

mario kart is when you can be a 1st place, and go to last because the bots got the blue shell. The biggest thing from that game is when paying slip screen with other friends, so when you are last within the groups. you have to switch with the 5th friend, and you have to wait for the match to be over.

 

[TheKruzdawg]

ME3 towards the end...

HOW MANY BANSHEES??!! seriosuly how many??!

Basically. Especially when combined with the Brutes that showed up and the Reaper shooting at you while waiting for the missiles to be ready. I had to play that part a few times.

For my own: playing Age of Empires 2 when both of my AI teammates decide they don't want to be my friend anymore and sent their troops to attack at the same moment as all the rest of my enemies (in an 8 player game). I saw all of the armies marching towards my fortress and just turned the game off.

 

[Storm Dragon]

When that second Ancient Dragon showed up in Skyrim.

PSH.
he was easy. Of course i grinded all the way to lvl 95 and had everything but knights maxxed.
That was at 4 though.

Full health omnislash+mine=victory.

Bigger you're screwed is when emerald pops Aire Tam storm and you have 9 or more materia.

Didn't happen to me but I do have 1 recent relevant anecdote to which I was witness.

It happened in me3's multi, I had stumbled on a good group and we were acing the normal difficulty, so the lobby leader and his friend (both on mic) switched it up to hard figuring we could handle it.

First few waves went well, we had some nice teamwork and class synergy so blitzed through first half.
We could handle the odd duo of banshees mixed in with brutes and fodder, but when we hit lvl5 the game spawned a trio of them from the start and more came soon after.

It certainly didn't help that the map we randomed was that dark enclosed refinery with plenty of corners and close quarters fighting.

As lvl6 started, we were immediately assault by 4 banshees along with the standard complement of brutes and marauders. They completed routed us and we had to fall back, but were unsuccesful and got cut down 1 after the other till only the 4th was left, the salaran engineer.

He was one of the 2 friends on mic and here was his last words as he was hounded by the reaper forces:
"Multiple banshees! Problematic!"
*fires off 2 rocket launcher shots to kill 3 banshees*
*2 more appear*
*fires a shot to take them both out*
*3 more appear*
"Out of rockets to kill banshees with! Even more problematic!"

Guy said it in mordin voice too Shame you can't chat to others without mic in me3, those were fun peeps that even complimented my krogan (said he looked omnimous in the red light <3 )

IL-2

Coming in behind enemy bomber, lining up a perfect shot, just a couple more rounds and his engine's toast... THUNK! Oil splatters over the windshield, CHUNK! An object appears in front of you, and you realize it's your suddenly motionless propeller. You notice the notification to the side: Engine: Inoperable.

You: Oh crap.

Captcha: High-flyer

Not anymore.

 

[Hemlet]

This is a paraphrase (as I don't recall the exact phrasing from in game offhand), but it's close:

You eat the corpse of the grid bug.
Blech! That tastes terrible!
The corpse was poisonous.
The poison was fatal.
You have died.

Oh Nethack, every moment playing is an "I'm screwed" moment.

The pyrolisk stares intently at you
You feel very warm
your potions explode in your bag!
you are splashed with boiling potion and shards of glass!
you have died.
Would you like your possessions identified? [Y/N]

 

[Worgen]

Playing legend of grimrock and pulling a switch that suddenly lets a good number of monsters into the room and being surrounded.

 

[RustlessPotato]

Counter Strike Source on cs_office. 4 teammates and I manage to go into the projector Room where the hostages are, because all the terrorrists rushed the front yard. When we try to save the hostages we realise or whole team was annihilated and there were 8 of them left. They had us pinned down so we decided to go in guns blazing. I was the only one left, managed to kill the last guy with a knife while he was reloading.

It was great.

That's more of a heroic moment then a "IM FUCKED!" moment.

OT: Planetside 1.

Taking a random tower on Oshur to see if we can provoke some enemy attention. After hack we move out and wait for whatever prey comes our way to go in to retake it. 2 ppl show up, 1 rexo and 1 agile. They enter the tower where as me and my mate go in and take'em out. My friends armed with an agile suit and a jackhammer. Im combat engineer with a handful of boomers(basicly remote charges). Some more of them show up, 1 MAXunit(Basicly power armor with big guns) and with 3-4 guys in tow show up. We're both experienced players and easily whipe out the 3 REXO suit guys before fighting a retreating battle up the tower vs the MAX. Got 1 remote charge on him on each level of the tower, the dumb shit kept walking around the corners tightly and was always close enough to take the full force of each charges explosion. He could've just taken a wide birth around and bullrushed us when we had nowhere else to go. So with the REXO down we take a look outside of the tower figuring they wouldn't send much more.

As I walk out I notice that the minimap is quite filled with red blips and blops. As I look out I see 2 Reavers staring at me and my friend, several heavy tanks 100m out with advancing troops on all flanks. 2 guys vs literally dozens of players(This is a small skirmish mind you). We realised that we were quite frankly fucked. Barely made into the tower again, my friend was hit by dozens of rockets from the Reaver aircraft and was pretty dead. I flee down the stairs to see if I can bug out via the spawntubes but instead meet 6 guys in the stairs and decide to just charge them guns ablazing a few cycler rounds and shotgun shells later i'm splattered allover the stairs.

Oh, right.

Gears of War 3 on Horde mode wave 35 with just my brother and I. We were doing very well when I ran out of Ammo, so i went to get some and when I turn a corned a can hear: "SMASH !" and then I died

When I failstab (for some unknown reasons even to God) someone in the middle of 3-5 lvl 3 sentries. (Eternal Reward).

Or when my mom calls me with my full name.
