World of Warcraft f*cked me. Farming the Raven Lord mount. I killed the boss and it dropped. About 10 seconds after, I haven't looted yet because I'm bragging to my friend, it kicks me offline. I log back on and I'm standing over the corpse...with no loot. That was 4 years ago. I haven't played WoW in 4 years.
+Vit Vitez 1. I opened a ticket yet "there was nothing they can do for loot that wasn't 'flagged'" 2. When you're farming a month for months on end and finally get it - there's a 50-50 chance you might not loot it right away. 3. Wasn't self inflicted considering something happened unexpected. "GG lol ignorant reasoning"
+ScrubLord Adisx mounts to me are for getting from a to b. Useless cosmetic junk. i can;t even imagine wasting my life actively farming for one. jeesh.
TheSpyChecker If you play WoW period you're wasting your life xD unless, of course, you're a popular streamer or youtuber. Other than that what's the point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
+ScrubLord Adisx if you watch youtube at all, period, you're wasting your life. Actually if you take part in any sort of entertainment period, you're wasting your life. its only not a waste of time if you choose a form of entertainment that i approve of.
I think people are fucking mothers in every game-all the time. Its nonstop truck stop action. You know I actually had a pretty good time playing the first call of duty on computer- the ww2 version, I was coming off playing day of defeat (halflife mod) and it just really hit a chord. I even had fun with the first 2 modern warfare games, but after that they really started to lose me, after playing 3 and seeing what little they added I never came back. So call of duty didn't fuck me for awhile. Halo on the other hand... never was fun for me after playing counterstrike and games where 1-4 bullets was a dead guy. I could never grasp the fun of shields and I didn't like how only a couple guns were accurate at all, and the old style weapon picks up I had already left behind with quake.
Paul Young Atleast in cod you can tell whos talking. In this other old xbox360 game I play they don't show you whos talking on your team unless your in a squad already, and sometimes people wont even sign up for open squad. So you'll get some annoying kid on kinetic blaring everything in his room (game noise, conversations, every snotty little remark) and you have to play a guessing game muting the fucker out. Anyways, the mute option should be on the scoreboard of every game, and you should always be able to tell who's making whatever noise. But I do remember one thing playing cod, people shit talk a lot more then any other game I've played, and they were just generally ruder. But anyways.... mute still takes more time then it should.
+firecrotch hotpants yeah I am 15 and I have played online I don't chat with them and in a match I mute everyone plus I hardly rage but I do ball up in intensity I usually get second place because I am not a try hard :) lol, have a good day.
the trick with Fable 3 is as soon as you become king, put as much gold as possible into the treasury, keep doing so until the treasury reaches at least 7 million. You will need `6 million to raise the army and the rest to fulfill the promises
+Interceptor810 well 12 million if you want to pay them the gold and also doing the good side choices, since doing all of those will take 6 million from your castle coffers.
I managed to do a completely good character on fable 3 and have enough money to defeat the darkness. Fable 3 actually f***ed us by not living up to its promises for the 3rd time.
Fallout 3, Vault 101. You do everything perfect and save them. What do you get? "You're a hero, and you have to leave." Ungrateful jerks. I've never felt so vilified.
+suckieduckie he did say he was like 10 i think he say so what did you expt a 10 year old kid to do back then? buy good items and go pk all the ppl he see xD
+suckieduckie Take into consideration he was like 10. Dude, I know men like to act tough. But he was just a kid, and a kid has every right to feel wronged in a situation like that. He did nothing to warrant the ill treatment.
5:50 The way he was going on about this older more experienced man leading his younger naïve self to somewhere dodgy, at one point, it was starting to sound like little Benny made a "special" type of friend that day.
I'm just irked that he blames Everquest for the actions of some jackass. Everquest didn't do -shit- to him. It was the notoriously sadistic community. I really don't like how so many people use 'it's just a game' as an excuse to do lots of really screwed of stuff.
+theodore goodall He hasn't played the game, and his fingernails.....there's definitely something wrong with him. Not because he's gay, it's just like.... have you ever tried forcing a dog to wear pants? It doesn't fit, really.
+Twiggy Voorhees What is this magical payoff you speak of? An imaginary cookie? I don't get the deal with achievements and trophy nerds, it's so cringy, like Airsoft losers that wear camo, tactical vests and add "attachments" to their toys. At the end of the day, nobody thinks you're cool (quite the opposite actually) and you don't put food on the table (assuming you're not a bum and actually have a job) with a high achievements or trophies count.
Skyrim fucked me. Royally. During the quest "Rise in the East", you have to go help the East Empire Company stop a group of Pirates raiding their ships from an Island called Japhet's Folly. You go to the Island, enter the fortress, kill everyone, leave fortress and then leave the island; standard Skyrim fare. Once the quest was finished, the marker remained on the map; it was possible to fast travel there once more to look around the island and fortress once again. However, there was a game breaking glitch that prevented you from fast travelling back to the mainland again, completely. Also, Japhet's Folly was technically part of a separate map, so you couldn't just swim back to the mainland either; an invisible wall prevented you from leaving. You were stuck there, forever. The only way to escape is to load a previous save or autosave. Skyrim keeps 3 consecutive autosaves in your save list in case of accidents. But, because every time you enter and exit a map or building, autosaves get overwritten; so all my autosaves were on the island itself (saves on entering part 1 of the fortress, saves on entering part 2 of the fortress, saves on leaving the fortress to go outside) and my last proper save was 30 levels beforehand as I mistakenly believed the autosave feature was sufficient and manual saves were mostly unnecessary (which, until that point, they had been. In fact, they still are). So, I'm trapped on an Island because of a game-breaking glitch with no way to even reload a previous autosave. It wasn't until much later that they patched the game to remove the map marker, making it impossible to return there; but by then the damage had been done. I rage quit and started a new game a year later.
Yeah, saving over your own save file is the game's fault. Not having multiple save files is the game's fault. The game makers really screwed up by not programming their game with a sentient AI that would contradict the human player.
Lego Indiana Jones 2 *FUCKED* me One of the trophies in the game was to replay each and every level in the game in Free Play mode, which allows you to play as any character rather than just the story characters. However, when i did this on PS3, i never unlocked the trophy for it. The next day i went onto RU-vid and looked up a video guide on it... Apparently, the game will check off each level once you've completed it in Free Play Mode; _none of the levels had a check_... Wasted an eternity on replaying each level for nothing I should also note that this was the last Lego game i ever played. I haven't played any Lego game since then
darksiders 1 f#*ked me: taking one of the lifts/elevators up one of the dungeons close to the end of the game. Fall through the floor of the elvator, falling down to the bottom of the elevator shaft. No way out (it's a glitch), the game autosaves. Restart, stuck in the empty elevator shaft forever.
Every one of these could be avoided by one tactic: ALTERNATING SAVES!! I cannot stress this enough! Have two save files for each game, and save over the one you didn't save over last. That will give you a "last point" and "point before last point" to choose from in case you get yourself stuck. I started doing this after playing Baldur's Gate and saving and having the system shut off. It deleted my save. Ever since then I have done the double slot dealio and I have never run into an issue like this again.
That's right. demon souls does have that problem where when you die at the same time that fire dragon boss does then you can't fight the final boss guy under the nexus. that happened to me
Fuck no. I love this series but the same thing just happened to me in Darl Souls and I have no idea why. I don't know which of the people I don't kill killed the people in firelink shrine nor don't I know how I was supposed to know that without a walkthrough. The minute you need a walkthrough to play, the game is BS you
+santiagovare Lol! Just keep playing, the answer will become clear soon enough. Then, when you start your first ng+, you'll be able to follow a different chain of events. Nasty surprises like that are part of what make the series what it is.
Andrew Robertson Lol problem is that I have absolutely no idea what I did wrong and the game doesn't even give me a hint. I like that it doesn't hold the player's hand but sometimes I think it goes waaaaay overboard with how little it explains things considering how complicated it is. That said, since the game cheated I'm now cheating right back. I'm in Darkroot Garden right now exploiting a glitch and farming souls like crazy. That's what you fucking get Dark Souls. Fuck you.
FINAL FANTASY 8 !!!! LAST BOSS TAKES ALL MY MAGIC AND SUMMONS AWAY! Have to fight to get them back! That s%#t sucked! Never beat the game because of that.
+CeroneGames Go Yeah! People tend to forget how brutal FF8 was back in the day when a walkthrough wasn't available. One of the strongest features of that game is the challenge! Battles could last so long that the music theme still echoes on my mind.
At least you got that far. My disc 3 would hang up/ loop at the first fight scene. The characters would just do there fighting animations but the enemies never showed up...😤
+Max Sure, but only if you knew to do it. When I played I was a teenager, and I didn't have access to the internet or anything. So, I just spammed the gf's, cause the game basically pushes you in that direction. It kind of shows you the junction system but it comes across as more of a boost to your stats than the game breaking ridiculousness it becomes if you know how to abuse it, lol. Needless to say, I didn't beat it the first time I played it, for the same reason as the op, cause I couldn't figure out how to get my abilities back and eventually gave up. Of course, when I came back to the game a couple years ago, cause I liked the game and wanted to beat it, I also just spent massive amounts of time drawing and making my characters op. I literally never summoned my gf's, except for maybe right at the beginning.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords f**ked me. The last world of the game you have to fight through some weak monsters, but I decided to run past them, and get to story progression. Little did I know I would have to play as a tiny little robot that can't take a hit as soon as I got to the building, and it was there, with the objective of activating three computers before I could switch back. I did do it once, 4 months later, but died after regaining control of the main character in a fight. It hadn't registered my save, and put me back as the robot. I have yet to pass it again, as this time my save just corrupted and wiped
Avatar: The Last Airbender f*cked me because, at each level's boss battle entry, it gives you the opportunity to save. Whenever I would click "yes" at these save points, if I restarted the save point, it would never reload; I waited for an hour for the boss battle to load, before I would quit, start a new game, and go through it all again.
I really liked this list, you should do more countdowns where people talk about their experience in games rather than just "top ten kart racing games" or whatever.
Fable 2 fucked us too in that it was one of the worst games ever. No armor in an rpg, barely any weapon variations, story was shit, NO end boss. The magic was the only good part of it
I was so scorned by 2 that i didnt even wana try 3 lol Then seeing the reviews I am glad i didnt waste my time. But seriously how did they thing having an RPG with no end boss was a good idea?
+Michael Graham Technically, both Mass Effect and Planescape: Torment were games where the last boss fight could be avoided and they are both great RPGs. I know there's a difference. Fable 2's ending sucked ass. Just saying, the basic concept isn't inherently flawed.
Yea but most RPGs, 99% of them have a boss fight. You WANT to fight the main antagonist, not avoid them. This was just a cocktease when you work through an entire game just to be let down. Ah well
Its an adventure RPG with no climax. It just fuckin ends. it was the biggest dick tease of an ending in any game ive ever played and rpgs are my fave. Ah well. at least dark souls never lets me down haha
Ever play Darksiders 2? Its one of those games where there is only a single save file per session. Well there is a game breaking glitch in the game where an NPC disappears and you can't progress. Well the game also auto saves. I didn't know about this glitch so I got fucked. I hate single save file games with a passion, specifically if you can't restart a level.
+Vincent Lachance well, consider yourself fortunate. I shed a single tear that day. Just out of curiosity, what were you doing playing that game for 8000 hours.? I was pretty much a god and had nearly 95% of that game complete at 400 hours. What were you doing all that time?
I got every achievement in fable 3. I don't recall having any issues with amassing the money keeping people happy or prepping for the war. I had everything in place and progressed smoothly. Hardest thing was collecting all the special weapons where you can only get certain ones from other online players.
In the mid nineties there was a doom clone that was on PS1. you get recruited by a robot girl, you run around shooting stuff and blowing shit up, then at the end she comes to give you a reward, and she slices your throat open, laughing as you die. REALLY sucked.
+Sergio Sarmiento 1. glarey graphics 2. stupid story 3. stupid new characters 4. annoying Cortana 5. unmemorable music 6. no halo 7. no prophets 8. no brutes 9. stupid ending 10. Prometheans suck......this is all off the top of my head. I could find another 10 disappointing points if i really thought about it.
+Peterplayingguitar I disagree with almost all of them, but I guess everyone has their own opinion, though it seems to me you just want to hate the game
+Peterplayingguitar halo 4 was pretty great besides the ending and very loosely explained Promethean aspect of the story. Most people i talk to agree its the most "Halo feeling" halo since halo 2
+doctor Bnasty I had it! It was awesome! I loved the art style and the storytelling was very compelling. The fail from the video is that this bloke apparently forgot the fact that he could melee people.
XIII was fantastic. Honestly, don't understand that guys problem. That mission wasn't that hard or the game if you had the patience for it since it really emphasized stealth to the point of failing a mission. The sub mission can be passed by using your melee on the enemies from behind when they pass. So many fond memories ha. Sadly, recent game was a mobile port that redid the story I think.
"I got stuck in Silent Hill forever" - ultra-meta. Exactly what it wanted. I got a long way through on Bioshock 2, only saving over 1 save file, when my Plasmid hand suddenly got paralysed in a waving position so I was stuck eternally wandering the halls of Rapture with a hand and a shotgun waving at the locals.
You realize that you can also use melee in XIII? You can sneak up behind enemies and knock them out - a lot of levels have items like chairs and bottles scattered around that you can knock them out with.
Had the same thing happen to my dead as in the last example, but with Tomb Raider - there was a part where you had a jeep and a deep chasm that looked like you could traverse it with enough speed. So my father ran up some speed, and for some reason saved RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CHASM. Obviously, it turned out the chasm was a trap, you couldn't jump it with the car, so we just kept falling. He must have spent a good hour reloading that save mashing buttons in an attempt to eject, jump, boost or otherwise escape his demise.
Dark Souls fucked me. I put hard work into fighting my way to the bonfire in the sewers, then I got killled by some stupid frog, got cursed, and now I'm stuck in the sewers with half health, with no way getting back because the level is not designed to be beaten the reversed way. And at the other end is a huge spikey dragong wich instantly kill me. And between the bonfire and the boss are hordes of enmies. So yeah, Dark Souls can go to hell, I'll stick with Bloodborne, at least that game has fair difficoulty an not so much cheap bullshit.
You just have to go through where u came from take the short cut through to the first bond fire, then u will see a hallow looking merchant. Buy a purging stone from him, it will restore the curse. Then go back to the sewers. Kill the Magician guy that makes the gaping dragon fight very difficult, if u have not, and then, if u wanna take him on ur own, just roll from his attack and camp on his back, watch out for the tail swing. If u don't want before the boss fight look through the entrance to the fight u will see Solarie(sorry if I spelled his name wrong), and Lurtrics summon sign if u have not killed him yet, and beware, u should kill him after the boss fight, because he will kill ur fire keeper.
2 games which fcked me i remember: 1. Vanilla Baldur's Gate 2 : From time to time there was a bug which made the npc go "You cant talk to this person at the moment, it seems they are busy at the moment" or smthing. usually this came, while the NPC was moving, but with the bug, it never ended. couldnt do more than half of the sidequests bcause of it. 2. Gothic 3. At some point, ca. 15h into the game somehow Orks from a different "country" got teleported to a human hideout. Those orks started to fight with all those humans. couldnt do neither the ork quests from a city far far away (after this all orks were aggresive towards me). nor the human quests (they were dead). Loaded states which were like hours ago, still happened.
Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain fucked me. Started the mission in which quiet leaves and you go to save her. I was not well informed of the massive amounts of tanks and men in this mission. I failed to really upgrade armor and newer weapons so, when I got to the point in where I just want to leave the mission the game refuses to let me quit. I died countless times from instant kills by the tanks. I have since quit the game.
Saga Frontier 2: You can play perfectly fine just using one set of party members up to the final dungeon. Where you're required to have your ENTIRE group leveled/geared to the teeth so they can beat enough of the mini-bosses so that the final boss (which gets powered up by each mini-boss failed) is beatable. I realized this only after saving over any file that I could've used to level/gear-up my party, thus sticking my party with a final boss that had (if my memory is correct) 1 million HP. The real nutkicker? This is the end of over 60 hours of gameplay. I only finished it after following a guide *religiously* years later.
Wing Commander III F*cked me... because of this one mission where you have to save these transport ships, the Kilrathi had these 'skipper' missiles or something, if you fail to save them all, you can't finish the game. I got to the end, but because of that one failed mission I could only fly through empty space from then onwards, because I wasn't allowed to dock on the station and couldn't actually end the game.
The division f**ked me. I hate the fact that I cannot turn off pvp before going into the dark zone. Allowing stronger rogue agents to pray on anyone who is lower level.
Black and white fucked me. After an incredibly tedious mission where I couldn't use my creature, I finally got to the next mission. But right at the start I dropped a boulder on my main base building, destroying it. I didn't have the resources to rebuild it. But fine, just restart the mission or load a save right? Yeah, about that... Like other Molineux games, B&W doesn't have a normal menu. You could only access typical menu functions by going inside your main building. Even if that building is destroyed and cannot be rebuilt.
The Fable III got me too, I was so pissed. I had taken great pains to monopolize the real estate market and get the money rolling in, then SURPRISE! The final battle is here, and you didn't spend any money on the war effort!
As far as Fable 3 goes, I had it down where I could get 100% good guy ending with full army support. The 1st playthrough, I would work as a level 5 blacksmith during one adventure as king until i made enough to fill the treasury, then any replay i would use two player and "gift" all the $ from my first account to my second, so I could own all housing and never have to work. I would raise all prices up as much as I could, while still making all "good" decisions as king, and the people still loved me even though their rent was outrageous, and once I filled the treasury again I lower all rent.
Spyro the Dragon f***ed me. Some years ago, I downloaded the game on PSN. I had found all of dragon eggs & collectibles and was ready to move on to the 3rd world hub. Turns out that I was one egg short so I couldn't move on. But according the game's inventory system I had found everything the max number of collectables. There was nothing left, anywhere. I was done.
Oblivion got me... I had one awesome character that I put hours into beating the dark brotherhood and a bunch of other quest lines. I was doing the thrives guild and I had met the gray fox in a house for something and there were two choices of dialogue. One would progress the story and finish the quest, the other would make him stop talking to you and prevent you from starting back up a conversation with him. Though part of the problem was that I foolishly saved since I was younger and didn't expect the quest to not end.
Disgaea F*ed me. I wanted to redo a character to level 1 to start them on another job line. Not realizing I had chosen Laharl, the council was VERY quick about their vote to proceed. Next level I went into? Laharl is one shotted by the level 99 mob. I blink, look, and realize I had saved that way. Haven't finished it and I lost my memory card.
Lessons: 1.)If possible have a back up save from earlier in the game.(Does not apply to games with only one save slot, usually older games, but a few newer/current gen limit you to one save file (Assassin's Creed is like this(Except maybe Liberation, haven't picked up my vita(other than trying out remote play.) in awhile, but I am pretty sure it has a Zelda-esque 3 profile save system.) I try to have my main save, and 3 back ups, 1st one is usually right at the begining in case I have to restart, but I make sure to save as soon as I can after the tutorial BS so I don't have to play that. The other two I overwrite as I see fit, in case I screw up/didn't like the outcome of my choice(Games like mass effect, Dragon Age, and other games that your choices affect the game.) Usually I keep one that is close to where I am currently in the game, then one usually around the middle of the game for times when it takes a while to find out a choices affect has on the game, or I run into a game breaking glitch. Replaying a game doesn't bother me, and I usually end up way better off than I was before. Though once I raged when I was in the Crater at the end of FFVII, and someone formatted my save. . .I had well over 100+ hours in that particular save, and had everything you could get in the game. Still had fun, but the rage. . .Break one of my games? fine. . .Want to steal one of my games(oh and take the case, don't be a dick and just take the disc. . .hated going to play a game only to find an empty case(one of my younger brothers friends had super sticky fingers.) Just please do not fuck with my memory cards, even to this day, I still have an original PlayStation(and the slim PSone, I usually just use PSone, but some fanboys get all pissy if you call the original a PSone), PS2, and N64(A few games used the memory card.) As nerdy, and rather sad as it sounds, taking a memory card, deleting saves, or MMO characters. . .that is like deleting hours, or in the case of MMOs possibly years of someone's life. (I have a nice out of game life, and an equally rich virtual life in Guild Wars 2. . .Real friends that hang out and goof off, albeit in a virtual setting.) 2.) In the case of any game where you have limited ammo/supplies always try to be prepared for a difficult/long battle. Though that is difficult at time in the case of the Silent Hill series, since ammo is scarce. I personally use the token lead pipe(Or board with nail.), or any other melee weapon as much as possible, and running when I can if the enemy is too strong, saving the ammo, and restorative items for boss fights. And since I reached tl;dr status about a third of the way through this comment I will be shutting up, but Cheers! to anyone who actually read all of this. Feel free to reply with your techniques/playing style to help recover from/prevent the game(or in most cases, even in this video.) yourself, from fucking you, while gaming.
dark souls 3 : when you max out the rosaria's fingers covenant before actually finishing all the miniquests that has to do with that covenant (take yellowfinger heysel miniquest for example) you automatically get locked out of these quests. since you have to offer 1 pale tongue each Quest. this is not possible after maxing out this covenant.
The first Darksiders also had a gamebreaking bug like that: one of the elevators in the final part of the game can let you fall right through and it would autosave locking you out from continuing. Happened to me. :(
The Fable 3 story is a familiar one, sadly. "Imma gonna raise money my own way, be all clever, and besides, I have half already- WHAT DO YOU MEAN 9 MONTHS JUST PASSED!?"
Zelda: Link to the Past. Was in the last dungeon, where Ganon was at. I wound up using the keys in such a way where I could not reach Ganondorf. I actually had a buddy look at it. He said, "Wow, never seen that before." I pretty much rage-quit.
I think I understood the mechanics of Fable 2 a little TOO well. Because in Fable 3... after a (real time) week of gaining real estate profits, I gave EVERYTHING to the treasury, kept the treasures (diamond, balvarine statue, etc) for myself, and was STILL able to get the good ending... on my first try!
I enjoyed this video lmao. I have a couple stories like that. Like in Metro 2033, where I'd gotten SOOOOO far in the game, but where I was at saved me on the surface of post apocalyptic Moscow... where you need gas masks to breathe. I ran out of gas mask filters and it saved me there, so there was nothing I could do but quit. I have yet to go back and try to beat it.
XIII was pretty damn hard, not just because of the sound, but because those Guards were observant as HELL and on Far Cry levels of seeing you and sounding the alert. The answer to the sub level was that you were given a bunch of environmental weapons like chairs and bottles, especially bottles, and a sneak attack was a one hit ko/kill, and thus you had to sneak back and forth between enemy and storeroom full of bottles until victory, and one mess up means a restart. Hence, why I hated Stealth games for a long time- any "instant loss if caught" missions piss me right the hell off. Fortunately Metal Gear never does that to you and eased me back into the genre.
Crysis destroyed my dreams and ate my breakfast. The final boss is supposed to be killed by a rocket launcher called a TAC gun. Thing is, it has to lock on first. So I'm trying my best to scan it for the lock-on, but nothing happens. Reload chapter, nothing. I'm sitting there like, "Is there a switch, or another weapon?" So I'm searching the deck like a madman, looking (and dying) in the fire. Then I decide "I'll look it up online." Turns out I wasn't the only one. I had to install a patch from somewhere else to even have a chance to beat it. Thought maybe the game would have auto updated a patch like that, but no. I have another game on my mind that's done worse than that, but I'm sure a lot more people had this particular problem.
In Links awakening, in the fourth Dungeon: I find a key that opens a door to the mid boss, where you get the swim item. However, on the way to that mid boss, I see a locked door across a small pool of water (that youre supposed to swim over) I however, manage to JUMP across this pool and unlock the door on the other side. Only to find more water. And now I cannot progress. I never got the Swim item, and now there isnt any key to unlock the door to the mid boss. And I was like, 8 years old and never realized I broke the game, or that games could be broken. Thank god I was bored one day and decided to start over cause I wanted to replay the older dungeons.
Lunar: The Silver Star Story Complete fucked me: In one part of the game you drop on a volcano and have to fight some fire dogs as a sub-boss. Since the enemies level up with you, the only real way to win the battle against the dogs was to have some ice weapons you can buy on the previous town, the problem? You can't go back once you're on the volcano.
So I was 8 and playing a game called "Throne of Darkness" that was kind of Diablo but instead you got 7 samurais in medieval Japan. There was a scorpion monster that shoots a homing solidified sort of venom arrow that's very difficult to dodge. So I got all my samurais killed and I was desperate running away from them with my last samurai with like 2/250 health and 3 of that homing stuff pursuing him so I stupidly decided to save just before one of those things hit him. I DIDN'T GIVE UP ON THAT GAME. So I tried for days trying to dodge the 3 missiles until I finally made it alive... Them old games were difficult AF.
Kingdom Hearts fucked me. I was a dumb pre-teen who decided to go fight the final boss without a back up save. They took away my npc helpers and I kept getting slaughtered by his second form. As it turned out, I could not go back to my old save because it was overwritten when I entered the boss portal. I never beat him and I was forced to restart.
You should add Gran Turismo 2 to that list. Once you get deep into Simulation Mode, all of a sudden, ALL of your cars disappear from your garage, except for the one you're currently driving. Buying a new one is useless, and certain races you need a certain car and/or a certain amount of HP (Horse Power). Later I learned that GT2 was incomplete and rushed. Since this was an old PS1 game, and it was before you can download patches, I never finished GT2.
Star Fox 64 on Expert screwed me. On the level when you fight Star Wolf in their upgraded ships, if you die, you're toast because you restart the level with only a single laser and 3 bombs. There's no way to get dual or hyper lasers in that level. You have to burn a life and restart the previous level to get hyper lasers again. Also, Gears 3 on Insane. I can not get past the dang level with the blimp thing that has grunts shooting boom shots at you.
Well, the nearest experience I had about being "f*cked" by a game was with Zelda Majora's Mask. The part when you enter the moon and face several challenges, which includes using bombchus (or however it is written) to destroy something in the ceiling (don't remember exactly what was it). Failed each attempt and ran out of bombchus, without the possibility of getting out of that room. I had to reverse time, lose my progress and redo everything.
thing about Fable 3....so true. The good thing is if you have a friend who's rich in-game you can just have him/her transfer all of their money to your game.Though that is a pain in the ass to do
THAT FABLE 3 STORY IS THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME! I will never compete that game, nor will I ever play another Fable game for as long as I live.
I had a ton of real-estate and tons of money, and I was just doing the story events until I was close to the end, and then I was going to pay all my debts off and raise a huge army. The game gave no indication that it was going to jump a huge and unexpected amount of time into the future, so I thought I had at least one more story event before I absolutely had to pay my debts. I don't see how what you said is relevant, unless you mean I should've used a guide (I didn't use a guide).
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time fucked me. Ten years old. Not real far into the game but far enough that it wasn't worth it in my ten year old head to start over. There's a save point where you're with Farah that is right next to a pit of spikes. I saved the game and died a little while later. No big dead. Reload my game and Farah falls into the pit and dies. Again. And again. And again. Absolutely nothing I can do. Eventually rented the game a few years later and, for whatever reason, when I reloaded that same save, she didn't fall in and I was finally able to beat it.
In AC4 there´s a chest in a fort which you cannot open because theres a bush in front of it, and Eddy automatically starts to sneak during the chest opening animation which breaks it... So.. I do not think there´s a way to reach 100% synchronisation at all...
Final Fantasy VII F*#%ed me. I was half way though the game, I learned I missed an item an went back to get it. I went back, acquired the item and saved. When I loaded the vehicle used to traverse streams on a separate continent was somehow teleported there. I could not get the vehicle back to the correct content so I was stuck and I gave up.
Can we get a member on the panel who's over 30? There's not a single damn game in this video that's before the N64/Playstation era. And you can't tell me people didn't get screwed by early Atari/Nintendo/Sega games.
+justus4justice JetSetWilly. early 80's If you're over 40 and gamed you got fucked by JetSetWilly. The game introduced the concept of adventure platformers. Every 'screen' was a level that had it's own puzzles and when you entered each one it remembered how you entered, from which direction and what angle (jumping or falling and shit) you came from and when you died you restarted the 'screen' exactly the same way. There were points in the game (20+hours in) where you moved to a new screen and the game just dropped you into a pit or immediately hit you with a one shot death monster if you entered at the wrong point. Restart. Insta death. Restart insta death. Over and over for all your lives. Oh well you'll remember next time. BACK TO THE START. NO SAVES ON OUR 16K MACHINE. PEASANT. 7 year old me actually cried himself to sleep over that once. FeelsBadMan
Nethack fucked me; Was on my way to end the game, I had an awesome run and was death immune/disintegration proof 500+ hp as a Tourist (that's the name of my class). Unlimited recharging items, it was insane how op I was. I say to myself "I still havent done that vault area, there's nothing that can kill me so I might as well". I'm a completionist as heart, so I wanted to"100%" the game. So I do my thing, I'm killing everything by the thousands and then I find a cockatrice. They turn you to stone, instant death, if they touch you or you touch it or if it stares at you...hell during a full moon them just screeching turns you to stone...unless you have a lizard in your pack to eat. I had a lizard in my pack, so I payed attention didnt contract stoning or anything and I continue on killing everything at my choke point. I then suddenly die...I question this, I think "How the hell did I die, I'm at nearly full health!" so I look through the battle log...I died by stoning...some how, I even looked through all the monsters around me, NO COCKATRICE IN SIGHT. So I look at the battle log a little bit more, I then notice the words "THE ELF PICKS UP THE COCKATRICE CORPSE." You see where this is going? THE FUCKING ELF BASHED ME OVER THE HEAD WITH A CORPSE THAT TURNS YOU TO STONE! He did it bare handed as well, he fucking died just to kill me. I never would of expected the game to be smart enough to say "Normal weapons and magic ARE NOT WORKING, time to use a cockatrice corpse!" Funny thing is, I had that lizard corpse...if I noticed the stoning (stoning is not instant, it takes 3 turns to consume you) I would of eaten the damned lizard and cured myself...hell, I HAD TWO! I learned that day that Netheck is an EXTREMELY smart game and it really does check for everything in its power to kill you...because enemies NEVER demonstrated that type of power before to me in game. To ditch their weapon in favor of a CORPSE! And of course it was a fucking elf! No other creature/race thought of this. I'm still salty about this to this day, but I also have to respect a game that intelligent.
In fallout 1 the military there are force fields that block you and you can hook up a radio to turn them off but it somehow got disconnected from the computer when I died and they had all turned back on when I was on the 3rd floor and my repair skill was so low that i couldn't turn them back off so i was stuck there and my last save was 10 hours back when I had 2-3 hours left in the games.
The Elder Scrolls Oblivion fucked me over with that gray prince quest. I was trying to do a full "good guy" paladin style play through, and decided that I'd get some fast exp and some cash through the arena. Well it turns out if you tell the gray prince his old man was a vampire he won't fight back in your big end-of-the-quest-line brawl where you become the new champ, and it counts as a murder. People started talking about how I let them down as the crusader after that and Lucien Lachance broke into my bedroom. Goodbye paladin feels
I'm actually shocked, maybe it's just the PAL version but if you run out of all ammo for the last boss in silent hill, she dies after a minute or so... automatically.
Mass effect 3, saved tali and legion. get the option to either destroy all syntethics. or control the reapers. both kill all the geth. what was the whole point of helping legion in the first place... and the stupid ex machina option is stupid (the synthesis option)
Fable 3 was the easiest fucking game I have ever played especially at the hardest difficulty level. I managed to save every person as well as keep all promises to all the can leaders I made promises with, it was easy as fuck to do and all I had to do was buy houses, repair them and rent them out at a fair and affordable price. Every house was fully repaired, had top of the line furniture and everything a house and its occupants could need or want. I sold most of the weapons I found, all of the jewelry, all of the food, all of the potions and all of the houses I got from completing the tasks set by the Demon Doors. When I had became king I got over $1,000,000 from the Demon Door near the creepy mansion thing. With a combination of selling nearly everything in-hand, selling unwanted real estate and leaving the game on for 48 hours I easily gathered more than $6,500,000 while I played Pokemon games on the Nintendo DSi's I owned at the time.
Actually, you *can* defeat the final boss in Silent Hill 1 without any ammo. All you need to do is just equip all your weapons and attempt shooting the boss without any ammo. When you've done that, the boss will simply die all by itself.
Resident Evil 2. I had just bought a PS1, and that was one of the games that I bought with it. I played it for an hour, and never made it past the first battle. I'd bought it used, fortunately, and took it back to the store the same day.
