Your "fuck this shit" gaming moments

Loving Shadow Complex till the last freaking fight and can't beat the damn game because of that stupid missle stuck in the air bug. I've tried everything, redownloading, still keeps happening. Can't get my beat the game achievement because of that last damn missle

Also Fable 2. Was totally into that game till a stupid bug caught me in that mages tower when some mage was supposed to come in the room and teleport us out but the stupid door is closed and he can't get in. And the stupid game auto saved over my earlier save so theres no way around it. I would have to start all over.

Fuck bugs.
 
Final Fantasy (XVIIXVXIXI - something) on PS2. Where it forces you to play Blitzball.

I think I tried like 8-10 matches, but couldn't win or something I don't remember now it was so long ago. I just remember I didn't want to take the time to learn the mechanics of the stupid mini game, I wanted to play an RPG. So I turned it off and never played the game again. I've been done with the FF series since then.

Great game... =)
Well it does tell you that you need to save... =P

The thing is I would have saved manually before I quit if the game hadn't unexpectedly crashed on me. I'm paranoid about that kind of thing and never take autosaves for granted. It's just one of those things you don't expect to happen.

The Level where you have to collect garbage as Apu. I am convinced that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get past that level without skipping.

I don't recall that level, but I did beat all of The Simpsons Hit and Run so, it's not impossible.

You can just lose and move on.

Did anybody mention that one particular castle climb in Wizards N Warriors (NES)? The landings were a little skinnier than your character and slanted on both sides so you would slide off, so you had to keep jumping upward. So damn infuriating.

I fuck this shit!'d so many times on that game, but I did eventually get to the top and beat the game. Very satisfying.
 
I forgot about the last battle in Chaos Rising - absolutely tedious and so not fun. You can teleport-stun him, but it takes ages. Yeah, screw this shit. And during the tank boss battle I thought it couldn't get more tedious than that.

Been saying it throughout Final Fantasy 13 up to where it opens up, then I really gave up.

Worst experience ever.

Pretty much this, the only FF ive played that I never finished. Corridor after fucking corridor of mindless enemy's, whack a few switches some emo cut scene then more corridors and mindless enemy's
/rinse repeat for 18+hours
Click to expand...

Holy fucking crap, absoluytely. Just after the game opened up, corridor after corridor after switch after corridor etc etc etc. In the past say 10 years of gaming, you are damn right FF 13 has been one of the worst, tedious experiences ever. What the fuck was SE thinking.
 
Eternal Sonata... just for what the game is... boring.

KOF XII... just because it's a beta

Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec... it took forever trying to do every race so i just let it go.

Final Fantasy XIII... after i finished the story I tried monster hunting... said fuck this shit... sent it back to gamefly.

Nothing like experience!

Trying to solo Crawmerax on borderlands, almost have him down when a level 40 joined my game and took the elevator up. I thought, meh, he's almost dead, let the guy suicide.

BUT THEN. He starts shadowing me, without being killed somehow. Since other players are solid in this game, I eventually get pinned between him and a worm. Crawmerax burrows, and flys out right on top of me, flinging me off the map for an instant kill.

Other guy: wtf you suck.

Fuck that shit!
 
Demon's Souls. Pure Bladestone.

Fuck you FromSoftware. No fucking reason for such a bullshit drop-rate. It literally takes dozens of hours from people's lives, but necessary for the platinum.
 
The end of Batman Arkham Knight. All the batmobile parts completely ruined what would've otherwise been a nearly flawless game.
 
When my 360 red ringed for the third time Microsoft asked me to pay for the repairs. I pitched it into a dumpster and bought a new graphics card instead.

I don't understand how this kind of bump even happens. How did you even find this thread?

Anyway, I was recently playing the game Xeodrifter. You start with 3 HP. I got hit twice so I only had 1 HP left. Made it to a checkpoint with no way to heal nearby, so I was stuck at that checkpoint with 1 HP. There was a boss on the other side of the checkpoint that kept killing me in one hit, so I eventually just said, "Fuck this," and quit and haven't played it since.
 
Wow this is an old thread...

OT: The 3rd or 4th time I lost hours of save data on Ori due to a save glitch. Haven't touched it since and I doubt I'll ever play it again.

You have to play one game of blitzball, it takes about 15 minutes, and you don't even have to win. What a ridiculous reason to completely give up on an entire series of games.

Edit: Didn't even notice how damn old this comment was lol, still an asinine reason to quit a game
 
Old thread... But after my 4th red ring 4 years into the 360 lifespan I never replaced it and have been in Sony's camp since.
 
Chapter 9 in The Evil Within.
The scary dude who can teleport around and one hit kill you.
I hid under a bed and he got me. I "noped out" and didn't play again until about 8 months later, which, incidentally, was just the other day. I decided to face my fears on the day after Christmas.

He killed me, I noped out... Maybe I'll try again next fall. XD
 
I'm trying to get that trophy in FantaVision where I complete an entire level without missing a firework. It's not really putting me off from playing it again but it's enough for me to rage quit the game and play something else.
 
An early batmobile section in Arkham Knight felt so tedious to me that I gave up on it for ages, then came back and found it just as boring months later. The game is currently deleted from my PS4 hard drive (digital copy) since it was taking up like 50gb or close to it and never being played.

Asylum and City are two of my favourite games of last gen and I thought Arkham Knight started out incredibly strong, but I don't think I've even got to play a single sandboxy "take out all the enemies" section yet, which were some of my favourite parts in the first two games. I'll probably start the game over in 6 months or something and try to enjoy it for what it is.

Also, Silent Hill is by far my favourite game series ever and I love Silent Hill 4 for the story and atmospheric weirdness/creepiness etc but on my most recent playthrough I found myself frequently saying out loud "fuck this shit", those little flying bug enemies are completely terrible (any horror game with those types of enemies in them would be better off without them imo). There were sections that would have been creepy in terms of the environment if I could just walk through it at my own pace in relative silence, but instead they'd throw these bullshit little things which are like the video game equivalent of fucking mosquitos at me constantly, forcing me to run through the area and briefly stop to kill them all as quickly as possible if unavoidable. Heaps of other things in that game shit me as well, as much as I like it for other reasons.

I needed to vent so went searching.
 
First time playing Dead Rising and leaving the mall and getting obliterated by the convicts every friggin time.

Didn't realize this game wanted you to fail initially so you could start your character at a higher level the next playthrough.
 
The 5th time my character got stuck in Fallout 4 causing me to either have to reload or fast travel somewhwere. Fast travel not the worst, but reloading and losing progress irked me. Haven't touched it in a month.
 
well, since this thread is back from the dead, i'll say when you fight isaac frost in Fight Night Champion. i hated the boss structure and just couldn't beat him.

I feel like they figured the dupe glitch balanced this out so they never fixed either.

I have a spare on both USA and Euro regions, feel free to message me on PSN and we can arrange for you to summon me...
 
This one area in The Last of Us. I just kept on dying over and over again!

Really great game, but I said fuck this game and haven't touched it since, lol.

The Longest Journey.

When after some hours into the game I found out that I had to open the window in my room to get a seagull make a rubber ducky fall into the river behind my house, so I could use that rubber ducky on an electrified trainrail in a subway station. The room is the very first screen of the game. How the fuck does the game expect me to know that I have to go back there, open that window and have a seagull make a rubber ducky fall into a river so it floats somewhere to fish it out and use my wits to use it on a fucking train track? That puzzle was so retarded I quit the game and never touched it again.
Click to expand...

agreed, though i never even got that far. i was like fuck this shit when i kept on being tripped in the very first minute of the game. Maybe someday ill go back to it but probably not
 
Dark Souls (my first Souls game) Anor Londo. The archers, O&S, it almost broke me and I almost quit the game. Then I learned about summons thankfully
 
Final Fantasy Tactics. I bought it in early 1998 and sold it like a couple days later.

Slums of Dorter. See I didn't forget that mission name either. Cheap mages is what I remember.

The 12th time my objective was "Make a payment on your debt!"

you know the one
Click to expand...

i swear this damn debt thing they had going made me want to return the game.

i beat the game in like 14 hours when i probably could have beaten in like 5 if it wasnt for the damn debt system
 
After a dozen or so losses in a row in Star Wars Battlefront, I usually shut the game off in rage silently damning my teammates and the enemy in a blind fury.

It's hard not being able to communicate with teammates via mics properly.

Same thing with Splatoon actually; back in September, I gave up on the game after being tired of the many losses due to idiot teammates, the lack of voice chat, and the constant tactical ink strikes that actually lagged the game a bit, with so many were going off at once.
 
The final boss in Banjo, the game wants you to do all these dodging maneuvers however the controls make it problematic and just frustrating. A shame because the rest of the game is challenging, but fair and has aged very well in my opinion.
