heh, i have so much to thank ps1 rhythm games for. spending my childhood playing those helped me so much with qt events. (but give me an xbox controller and watch me fail miserably.)
even lamer when you look at the controller to see where the R1 button is...after being familiar with said controllers for years, thats Delsin Rodent level on the lame chart
THE1gameaddict If you're offline, sure. But even then, it is just the kind of external influence that distracts you enough to make a mistake. Besides, pausing in the midst of the action often results in getting taken out of it to the point where you unpause just to die.
how about... your playing an open world game Iike fallout... and you come across a cliff that doesn't seem particularly high... so you jump... and when you land your shins decide it would look better sticking out of your head and go for a walk through your body.... I don't know if we simply don't talk about it... but is outside Xbox basically the Xbox centric version of PlayStation access? it seems very similar...
Yeah, this. You are trying to aim convenient red barrel to blow up enemies and realise you are hiding behind one yourself and get blown to bits. Bonus points if you shoot the barrel yourself.
Dark Mountain Productions red dead redemption one step two step thr- collapses for no reason. been shot one time, two times, three times, four times, runs perfectly fine behind cover alright boys we all good
when you think you killed everyone in the area but theres that one guy left who starts shooting you and you dont know where he is...or is that just me?
How about fighting a bunch of enemies in a small room and then you bring out a fatman and fire... And then you realized you just launched a nuclear warhead in a small room. Fallout people i know you understand.
using the wrong shout in skyrim, i wanted to use the shout that makes you transparent since it removes fall damage so i could jump down a cliff as a short cut....i used the whirlwind sprint shout instead and launched myself far past the cliff and falling to my death
Yeah, I can totally understand. Also, there was one time I thought I still had my Histskin abbility selected, but when I wanted to use it for some quick healing after a battle, I turned into a werewolf. JUST AFTER KILLING SAHLOKNIR!!! Seriously, that sucked. Also, on my second go, I figured out how much easier it is to kill a dragon when using the Thu´um. :)
+Enigmatic801 In Team Fortress 2 about 1 in 10 times I die it's related to getting stuck on things like door frames when running backward trying to make a quick escape
+Enigmatic801 OMG yes. Sometimes when I'm playing video games, I'm being chased and the smallest rock in the world prevents me from moving and I die on round 62 on Zombies.
I died in Fallout 4's settlement mode once. I wanted to know how many stories high I could build on one plot, built a bunch of stairs to get my answer (it was 11). Then I accidentally put away the stairs that I was standing on, all 11 stories up.
lexidizzle I died in the crafting mode in the start of the games I didn't knew all the controlls yet and I didn't knew how to get out of crafting mode and a radruch killed me
The lamest way to die is to defeat a boss that killed you 20 times and then his last attack,poison or minion kills you before the kill counts. The boss is reset and you have to do all over again. Yes Dark Souls, I´m looking at you!!
Happened to me when I tried to set up a small minefield in Fallout New Vegas. A raider walked up to me while I was placing them and they blew us both up.
I made that mistake the first time I played a souls game... I figured the more armor I was wearing the harder it would be to kill me so I put everything in Vit/End. Now I know better.
How about "I do this to myself" deaths? You know, death by care package, standing under things you KNOW are going to squish you, the "Hey, is this pit really endless?" deaths.
+rohitchaoji I used to do that in dark souls, specifically when I first got it. For example, does anyone remember the well in fire link shrine? I was POSITIVE there would be something down there.
+Bacon Man (Legendary-Bacon-Man) "I just killed 50 elite armored badass spec. Ops war hardened soilders! I'm unstopable! No one can touch m-" gets cut off by being shot by a lone grunt.
Getting your lvl 50 dogtags ripped off by a level 3 medic. I would have to stop and go watch a movie. Or chasing someone around to steal their dogtags after they have killed you 10 times and right when they stop to snipe and your about to get it, squad ate spawns facing you and blows you straight to heck.
Jomar Cortes yeah, I don't lag to much it just seems like every 1/5 matches ill lag. But my internet can run every game I've ever played just smoothly :|
I can think of two major examples. 1. Getting killed when you thought you paused the game but haven't, and 2. Getting killed when the controller battery ran out and you got your ass handed to you before you could connect the cable >XD
Nah, I think it's good that way. I mean, it's not like connecting the cable when the warning pops up is THAT hard or tedious, so if your controller dies on you mid-game, one has only their laziness and stupidity to blame.
Yeah, or falling to death in the chasm right before the Firekeepers hut, just because you decided to walk right around the fence instead of taking the left path. My first, oh so glorious death in DS 2.^^°
the most notorious, embarrassing, way to die in a video game is the often-used-excuse-for-ones-stupidity, the lag Everything can be countered, but when the internet connection turns against you, all that you can do is sit and suffer
***** true I remember my game of Dota 2 I was laging as hell I'm terrible at mobas and was kinda expecting to loose due to my lack of skill, but that lag was downright embarrassing
Lag is evil. Suddenly you stop moving, stutter step when you meant to run, the spell or ability you clicked on pretends it never happened, you meant to jump but instead you plummet.
Or when you're getting tore up, and you frantically look all over to try and find where the damage is coming from, only to be killed without ever seeing it. Then it ends up being some small enemy that was right below your view or something.
How about hitting an NPC to see if they do anything and then discovering that not only will they retaliate, but they are considerably stronger than you.
+Tekoa Zaf (Eldritch Hrempf) I recently quicksaved myself into this situation in Fallout 4. I could swear blind that there was no grenade coming at me when I quick saved but when I loaded, there's a grenade just about to hit me. I finally got around it by very quickly going into my inventory and doing a load of drugs to absorb the splash damage as best as possible. This irritation was further compounded by FA4 not seeming to accept movement inputs immediately after loading...what's that all about, gotta wait about 1.5 seconds before the character will move.
Playing Overwatch as Pharah or Soldier 76 and shooting your explosive weapons at an enemy that is a little too close and dying to your own splash damage. +100 lame-o points if the enemy survives and you don't.
Actual lag or losing connection. Losing connection has to be yours, but sometimes other people's lag can kill you. You can be shooting at a person lagging while standing still and they just won't take damage as everyone else proceeds to move around them. Then suddenly they open fire, kill you, then die from being shot a minute ago.
7) Trying to show your friends how awesome you are at a game and because of that, you lose focus and fail hilariously. Max Payne 3 is a good example of this
7- When you leave the game to pee or eat dinner without pausing it and an enemy comes by and kills you. 8- When the controller gets all crazy doing random commands or runs out of battery in the middle of the fight.
When you have only shot a few rounds from your mag, then assume you are safe and go to reload for some dumb reason, only to round the corner and get shot mid-reload
worst thing ever, battlefield 4, you sneak behind a player on pvp start spraying into their back and need to reload when they have like 5 health left and they turn around and Kill you
What i wanna know is how he managed to get the drake sword but still dies to the hollow soldiers in the parish. I'd really like to see him fight the berenike knight there XD
Getting killed because you decided to wear fancy looking armor for your roleplaying needs rather than using actual powerful armor for your actual videogame needs!... I went into the last quest of Fallout 4 wearing a piece of clothing that had 0 protection on all 3 traits. I didn't make it ._.
I know this has happened to every CS 1.6 player at least once where you're using the M4 and you right click by accident and put on the silencer in front of the guy you're trying to shoot...
Casting Ultima on your whole party in Final Fantasy 6 (because the caster got Zombified after inputting the command, but before the spell was actually cast)....... Also, getting Ambushed by Great Malboro in FFX ....... practically an instant, total Game Over....
Heres one: getting outplayed, when your opponent makes it a sport to kill you in the most ridiculous fashion possible. For example: death by foot-stooled in Super Smash Bros, getting killed by the flashbang grenade launcher in Battlefield 4, or getting Taunt-killed in Team Fortress 2. Its as if your weakness or unfamiliarity with the game is publicly_GOD DAMMIT MARK! I'M TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY, AT LEAST LET ME LEARN THE CONTROLS!!!
I have another: In many FF games, casting Thundaga (or similarly-powerful spells) on your entire team while under the effects of Reflect will bounce all those spells onto the boss, inflicting at least double damage compared to casting normally. Imagine doing that only to realise Reflect just wore off and you've just nuked your own team...
i get killed all the time when i press pause on a multiplayer mach of cod or borderlands thinking it will pause the game so i can go get some water or something.
Dodging enemy attacks, but hitting a wall that stops you from getting out of the way.... Rota in God of War with that stiletto curb stomp got me like this a number of times.
When you dig straight down in Minecraft and hit lava while staring at a wall of diomands on hardcore and after building a fortress....or is it just me?
my lamest death by far was in modern warfare. i forget which mission but the end of the mission was going on the roof for a heli evac. my first veteran run, took me a good amount of tries to get through the mission, hard fought with my blood, sweat and tears to finally reach the roof...only to LITERALLY GET CRUSHED BY THE EVAC HELICOPTER LANDING ON TOP OF ME. for shame.
#301club. Just wanted to say that i made it. Also a lame death is testing if fire can hurt you, and because its a new game you didnt watch your health and die... freaking farcry 4
Or testing rocks on Golden Path members to see if they do damage, only to be shot in the face by three of them with short tempers. Slight over-reaction.
+lunargamer Both, but most likely off the world in my case. Especially when running the Relic in the Raid. Seriously. A phalanx turning 45 degrees and launching me off the platform into oblivion feels really bad.
+KOBAANNI. They really are, with their ranged magical launch-blast thing. Seriously, it's kinda BS with the tracking. I'd be fine with it if I could juke it without sprinting away or taking to the air.
I'm an old school gamer so cliffs are a major killer. Back in the day, there were secret ledges. You never knew where they were so in order to find them, you just had to jump off cliffs and see if there was one for you to fall onto. Many a death came from that tactic.
From someone who like FPS I have had a death by reload problem -- I reload often. Unfortunately sometimes you hit that button the moment you realize a new enemy is near. Then you fail at trying to swap weapons or stab them before they can kill you.
attacking the entire enemy team thinking your team is on the way to back u up, and then seeing your team gleefully jaunting back to base as your screen fades to grayscale.
My younger brother had one of the worst possible scenarios for "wandering into a high level area". See, he decided he wanted to go exploring right at the start of FF2, and would regularly save it. So imagine how much horror, misery and frustration he felt when he accidentally saved it in the middle of Werewolf country, and died countless horrible deaths trying to get back to the start, only to reload right back where he started in the middle of what was effectively at that point a killzone.
here,s a bad one... when the animation of that ultimate attack you used as your last character in an rpg is just the few milliseconds to slow to kill the op boss you otherwise pwned and you get 1-shoted
Being too ill: Sneezing in MGS 1 and triggering an alert XD ... So lame but also kinda cool they thought of making Snake get sick after being topless in Alaska in the winter :)
I've experienced point 4 personally. I was playing Borderlands 1, and I fell from a level 4 zone, which was apparently right above a level 27 zone (I think it was level 27, it was about there). It was SO FRUSTRATING.
Wandering in a high level location at a low is something I've done in destiny which is rare, scared the hell out of me. That was back when it first came out
Lemme think... Deciding to skimp on grinding in an RPG then saving after the point of no return only to get disintegrated by an enemy rush and/or a boss? That sound about right? Well, that's what happened to me in both Elder Scrolls IV and Sonic Chronicles :/
in minecraft or any voxel based game: forgetting to bring extra supplies and stuggling to find your way back to the exit, but end up dying and losing everything. Or falling into lava to see if it hurts you in elder scrolls online
There's the direct opposite one for the death described at No5. Always hitting the reload button after an encounter even when there's loads of ammo in the clip. So seeing an enemy run around the corner a split second after you've hit that reload button.
Having low HP and being killed just as you're about to release the button to heal yourself, be it a spell or a potion. This has happened to me so much in Skyrim
One reason I don't play many fps or even 3ps anymore is because they do so much research to make the guns as real as possible but they still manage to call magazines clips and suppressors silencers. Another reason is shooting a real gun is a hell of a lot more fun.
