Final Fantasy VIII:

I didn't understand Junctions up until the Bahamut fight, where, before I could even get to Bahamut, I kept getting one-shotted by the Ruby Dragon or whatever it was called. I stopped playing for a few months, then went back when I heard about how Junctions worked. It was much more enjoyable when I wasn't having to stagger GF summons just to survive every encounter.

Just had a "fuck this shit" moment yesterday with Forza 3.

I was playing it since a while and I got fed up of trying to love it yesterday. I was driver 22 and with a tierce of the events done in the game. I had some really cool cars but I got fed up when I tried the BMW M3 and realised the feel was off. It's been multiple cars like this that "didn't feel right" and add to this the general sterile experience this game offers and I was done. Fuck this shit.

.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Gave up and told myself never to return, then i turned on my ps2 a couple days later and did it all in one attempt. Fuck.

I dont remember how many times I had to redo that, and how many obscenities I screamed as I attempted it. But the one time I did it, that lone enemy waiting at the top suffered more than anything else did in that entire game. The satisfaction of horrifically murdering that one enemy almost made it worthwhile.

 

[GC|Simon]

A few minutes ago in the first (and hopefully last) feather level of Super Mario Galaxy 2. I fucking hate it, really. But I was glad when I reached the star ^-^

 

[McLovin]

LoL in God of War 2 they had this part where your flying on a chariot or something like that. The game gestured to take both analog sticks and move them left to right rapidly during a qte I think. No matter how hard or how fast I did it I couldn't get it to work. I tried for hours and hours.. stopped and came back to it a day later and nothing. Then my cousin came by and tried it.. he moved the sticks in a circular motion and he got it the first try. I was really pissed that it was that easy, but at least I got past that part :lol
Edit-A friend of mine said Killzone 2 was crap and that the story was awful I couldn't figure out why since it seemed like his type of game. One day I'm at his house and I boot up the game. Turns out he played it after his brother and his brother set it to the highest difficulty. He made it to the second level and died like 37 times in that one level :lol

 

[BlueWord]

"Queen Brahne was not impressed."

Fucking hated this part, took me forever to figure out the problem wasn't my speed, but that I was screwing up once or twice on the inputs.

 

[Haunted Tank]

Last mission in the first "Driver". Tried for hours and never lasted more than a few seconds.

[McLovin]

Last mission in the first "Driver". Tried for hours and never lasted more than a few seconds.

I looked up the last mission on youtube. Turns out theres a trick to it.

The biggest problem is those mob & cop cars coming from the front. The trick to dodging them is to quickly steer left & right several times. Preferably, press L1 while steering to turn the wheels all the way on either direction. You don't even need to change your path, but you will still confuse them causing them to miss you.

Its in this video's description.

 

[atheistium]

I really got into The Last Remnant for some reason. I know the stupid frame rate issues and battle system is a major ass, but the game had its moments.

Anyway, so I had been playing the game for over 100 hours, using a specific levelling up technique and trying to do all the side quests. One of the side quests ends with a choice: you can either go to part two, or end it now and take a bunch of items. A bunch of people only said you didn't need to do part two and have confirmed it.

So I obviously took the needed items.

I finished the 2nd to last side quest and gleefully head back to Athlum to listen to some ladies story and hit 1,000,000 moneys! Except, she wasn't there. The last quest didn't activate. Either 1) a glitch or 2) those mother fuckers online lied to me and their versions glitched to let them skip the quest

I thought about re-playing the whole game from scratch... then turned off the Xbox screaming "FUCK THIS SHIT".

Now I spend the afternoon watching Dexter

 

[~Kinggi~]

Last boss battle of Killzone 2 on hard mode. Havent touched that crap since.

 

[backflip10019]

WTF, why would anyone play a Bethesda game without having at least a couple backup saves? That's just asking for it.

Why should I be forced to have multiple saves just because Bethesda can't make a game that doesn't bug out every few minutes?

 

[ShadyMilkman]

right fucking now, Barthandelus II in Final Fantasy XIII

Christ this shit sucks (in a good way). It is nice to have a challenging RPG battle every once in a while.

 

[Bukana]

Most adventure-platform games, when I die I have to watch the scenes before going through it. Now I'm Playing Beyond Good & Evil and it is full of this shit.

I got bad news for you..........

oh you know what

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

I love Fire Emblem, but what fucking genius decided to make the first chapter so difficult? After replaying battle 4(?) for like the 16th fucking time, I gave up.

Why is that white-haired girl so fucking fragile. BETTER NOT LET ANYONE HIT HER ONCE OR GAME-FUCKING-OVER

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Rygar - all.

Ghouls & Ghosts - all.

Kid Icarus - after level 1.

Gradius - getting beyond level 4.

Geometry Wars - trying to hit 2,000,000.

Trying to pick up any game that requires a lot of skill after taking more than 5 months off playing it.

 

[burnfout]

Lost Odyssey just now.

I'm in the Sorceress Mansion. The battles take a minute to load, with 7 enemies that can paralyze and terrorize me. The battle system is SO SLOW, and after you get killed because the baddies keep leeching your health, you have to get to a savepoint 5 battles back.

This game is unplayable after FFXIII.

resident evil 4 when you had to beat that wolverine thing in a 2mx2m cage

Which means you missed the part where you have to face two of them at the same time :lol

 

[Integra]

Update for mine since I've had the time to think about it :lol

Enchanted Arms - as I mentioned with my previous post on it, it was just too damn boring to where I said "fuck that shit" and turned it off.

Dead or Alive 4 - >.> don't even get me started with that crap. lol. probably the only time I will ever come close to bursting a blood vessel, breaking the controller in half and throwing the pieces at the TV and the 360. :lol so I said "fuck that shit" a few times before going back to it

Heavenly Sword - granted, I love this game but there were a couple of times I've said this. 1.

Spoiler

one with where you have to fight Flying Fox in order to save Kai

and 2.

Spoiler

you're facing the whole army in the end of the game and the waves keep coming at you

The Last Remnant - >.> screwed up at the beginning and couldn't get it back no matter how many times I did this correctly. I did read its reviews and took a chance, but didn't see anything mentioned about the bugs on it until after the fact. fuck that shit

Secret of Evermore - >.> <.< I never thought I would think about this game again. granted, I liked it when I started playing it but, when

Spoiler

I think you're in a cave or pyramid and you have to drop down in certain areas, there's one area you drop into and you absolutely can't get out of it

. tried correcting it over and over and after that I was thinking "fuck that shit", turned off the game and put it back in its case :lol

1. Install the game.
2. Try to flee/level up so you can kill those guys in like 2 turns

IMO, LO is one of the easiest games I've ever played.

Level 'em up often .. though.

Ice Temple in Link to the Past.

That fucking block that I needed to push down into the last room onto that switch to open the door. Fuck that. I had to rewalk that entire dungeon a shitload of times and kept getting trapped.

Later after quitting I did it again completing it. I realized what I had done wrong, but shit I should have just gotten the cane of somaria first and then hit that dungeon.

My friend had the same problem.

I didn't.

The Kratos getting out of Hades thing pissed me off as well. Nearly gave up.

 

[reKon]

<3 this thread, hillarious!

ROFL at all of those who have listed GTA IV. Because of the purchase of Red Dead, I had just HAD to finish GTA IV, no excuse. I've owned GTA III and GTA San Andreas and played them for 20+ hours each, but I've NEVER completed the story to a GTA game. I just always lose interest and stop playing.

Anyways with me being focused on beating GTA IV, I did it about two weeks ago, and I'm glad I did . So yay to my first GTA game completed....

But to that last mission, fuck that shit...

The first part of it was easy with the shooting, but the subsequent game mechanics just pissed me off. I almost felt like this guy for a little bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C1BSbq5aB0

Overall though, it really wasn't really that bad. Still fuck all GTA motorcycle missions.


Also, I'm surprised a lack of Mod Nation Racers bitching on this thread. If people who had trouble with that game cared to post in this thread, then we would have some bigger laughs :lol . Personally, since I love that game and dominated the shit out of the challenging ( and very rightfully so, don't bitch about it!) single player, I will say that it was fun. MNR is a kind of game that actually MEANS something when you say you've beaten ALL the challenges. If there was one fuck this shit moment though when playing, it was the last race where you need to be a in first and have 140,000 drift pts. FUCK THAT SHIT

To get this you have to jump from guy to guy, biting off 50 heads without touching the ground.

Got it though.

[reKon]

I turned on the Uncharted 2 demo and kept having Drake run in place because of the uneven ground or some boulder he just couldn't go over without me pressing X. After the 3 or 5th time of me having to press X for him to walk over some unknown object I turned it off and declared the game shit.

In Metal Gear Online. I got the jump on someone, aimed at his head, shot what seemed like an entire clip at relative close range and I still got head-shot by my opponent. Declared the game shit.

I started playing the God of War 3 demo, shit got dark, I couldn't see where I was running. I could see Kratos but the area was too dark then the camera panned behind the character and he's fucking huge so I could see even less. Declared the game shit and stopped playing.

:lol

Gunstar Heroes on hard difficulty. Didn't realize I was supposed to pick a force when I started, woulda picked homing. Either way, couldn't defeat seven force starting with the default weapon. Gave up.

That "base defense" level near the end of Half-Life 2: Episode Two. Maybe I'm just weaksauce.

 

[Ronabo]

I just had one yesterday with Dishwasher Dead Samurai.

On the second stage on normal difficulty, I can't get past the first room with enemies. I kept dieing repeatedly for 15 mins. I then said, "FUCK THIS SHIT!" and tossed the controller on the floor.

 

[spindashing]

Viewtiful Joe - The Magnificent Five. I got the game a year after release, and I breezed through the levels. Knowing I had to fight all the bosses one after another was too much for me and I tossed the game aside for years ... To only beat it just recently. :lol Now on to VJ2.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament - Shit fighting game. I tolerated it as much as I could, and got to the last battle in story against Toguro. I beat him, and felt real victorious!

...

But then he whipped out his full fledged 120% power form and WASHED me; I SHOULD have remembered this from the anime, but somehow in my victory, I forgot. I turned the PS2 off and never played the game again. Do yourselves a favor and never get that game...

The last part of Shenmue II, "to be continued".

 

[Barberetti]

Call of Duty: United Offensive

Long time ago. I can't remember what mission it was, but I think I had to kill some enemy troops on a rooftop. Wherever I went in this map, the game instantly kills me and displays the message "You have been shot for insubordination" or something similar, and I had to start the mission again.

Ok, I'll see if I can get behind this building .. "You have been shot for insubordination". Reload.
Ok, let's try down thi .. "You have been shot for insubordination".
Reload.
Hmm .. maybe if I g .. "You have been shot for insubordination".

After 10 minutes of that? Fuck this shit!


Half-Life 2.

Not much to say really. I can't remember how many hours I was into this, before I was so bored to tears I hit the escape key and uninstalled it. Without a doubt the most boring gaming experience I have ever had. Great graphics and sound, but that's not enough when the world and just about everything in it is so .... boring. Yeah, that really is the only way to describe it.

Oh, and for all you Half-Life fans deperately scrabbling to login and explain to me how wrong I am, and that Half-Life represents the absolute pinnacle of everything in the whole universe, and merely looking at the game's fucking logo should reduce me to tears of uncontrollable joy .... DON'T FUCKING BOTHER.

 

[backflip10019]

It is an rpg, you should have multiple saves regardless of who makes it and regardless of how stable it is.

So it's my fault the game screwed up? Goddamn, you're thick-headed. You know what? Fuck me for putting some faith in a game and hoping that it might actually work as intended.

That's just stupid. Bethesda should just make games that don't fuck up every few minutes. I'm not creating multiple saves and replaying parts of games because something goes wrong. Fuck that shit. I don't have time for it.

Anyone who subscribes to this type of gameplay not for the chance to redo a decision or something but only for the reason that the game might fuck up is an imbecile.

And I beat all DMC and NG games in normal and hard difficulties.
