Oh my smurfing god. I was playing Pokemon, and a SHINY smurfING GRAVELER APPEARED. Sounds awesome right? What if I say it used Explosion on its first turn? :weep: I'm really pissed off right now. Really, pissed, off.
Whats the most unfortunate thing thats happen to you in a video game?
Losing the the third disc to Final Fantasy VII, and subsequently never finishing it. I could've bought another one, in retrospect, but I was too distraught.
Actually playing Star Fox adventures.
Or the few times I have gone fast completion times in RE games to get the unlockable stuff only to get killed an hour in and have to start over.
I've heard that exploding Shiney Gravelar story alot. So much that I wonder if the creators made the shiney Gravelar more common just to miss with people.
Getting one of Monad weapons in first Persona 3, just to turn around and wallk into a shadow and die.
I have a shiny Golem that evolved from a shiny Graveller. It didn't explode. xP
I had an amazing run through Imperishable Night's Extra stage until I got to Fujiwara no Mokou's second spell card. In practice mode, I can finish it with no problem, but during the real thing I ended up losing 3 of my lives. >_<
Screw you xDQuote:

You not buying me The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion! Seriously, I want it, buy me it, thanks. :choc2:!!!Quote:

Wow. My shiny Electabuzz could've got owned by that. And I doubt my shiny Beedrill would've had much luck either! ;)
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I know there's something. And I'll bet my face it's Pokémon related.
Mainly just doing quests or grinding in WoW and running into Elites.

29 kill spree on Halo.
Twice.
(it should be noted that 30 is the highest spree you'll get a medal for)
Halo's messing with your life, just give me your copy please! I want to see what the fuss is about, I'm not familiar with the game yet. :choc:!!!

Just play rocket race and piss people off thats what I do Lol.
My most recent one is when I was FFTA2 and the enemy had critical quicken. and I kept missing because I was blind or something and it was just him versus my entire party and he ended up winning.
Not yet, give me it, give me everything you own! I don't play first person shooters, the only ones I've played a bit of are Wolfenstein 3d, Goldeneye 007, and Bioshock. I didnt' play them because I got a bad headache from the graphics, plus didn't get into them. Now I don't have as much headache, why is that, better graphics? Now Mass Effect and Fallout 3 and Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus are mixing some shooting with rpg's, I love the results so far!Quote:

Can they make a Bioshock rpg? For some reason Bioshock reminds me of Fallout 3.
Which is better...
Bioshock
Halo 3
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Crysis
Unreal Tournament 3
:choc2:?!
That is a decision you'll have to make on your own, grasshopper.Quote:

It also depends on what you're after and what you mean by 'better'. For example, I think Crysis is untold amounts better than Halo 3, but I don't play Crysis nearly as much as Halo 3 because none of my friends play Crysis and not enough people play it online in general. Having said that, I don't play much of Halo 3 these days either.
A couple of my most unfortunate video game moments come from hardware issues.
I had a fresh copy of Xenogears and I'm not sure if I had beat it yet at the time. Somehow, someway, the first disc of Xengears had a pretty large smudge/scratch on the back of it. I remember trying to put the disc in one day. The game would load and go to the Load/Continue and New Game screen. When I would click to load a new game it would just freeze on me every time.
Getting an actual hard copy of Xenogears was hard enough (before it went greatest hits) so I went out to EB Games and somehow bought their last copy of Xenogears for another whopping 50 bucks.
Here's another similar story. I had an original PSX copy (not greatest hits) of FF7. I've replayed this game so many times. The first disc of it get stepped on and it cracked in half. I wound up borrowing another copy of the game from my brother's friend and subsequently never gave it back. Unfortunately, my brother recently sold the only copy of the game we had left so he could have money for drugs and to gamble.
I can remember countless times being in a boss battle or at a place where I hadn't saved at the power went out or someone walking by tripped over a wire. Those times suck.
I was fighting a boss on WoW and had just about beat him when something else attacked me and killed me. Then every enemy in that place respawned so I couldn't get back to my corpse without getting killed again.:mad2:
Oi mate, did you end up getting a 360 or ps3?Quote:

Pricks are pricks wherever they are. Just because there are a few failures on Halo that want to play against nubs doesn't make the system broken. That will happen on any game with a ranking system like that. Halo is NOTHING compared to Gunbound in those regards, for instance.Quote:

anyway, the solution is to get better or die. You would have to fight those people sooner or later anyway. So learn to kill them or give up and go home. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/10...appy/wacky.gif
It's more than a few. You may not notice as much since you're a much higher rank than me and you wouldn't be paired up with them as often. :pQuote:

Rank 30 recruits are people who have been busted by Bungie for cheating and have had all their exp removed. And exp has no bearing on who gets matched up with who anyway, it only works off the trueskill rank. It just means they can't get theirty little General rank that they care so much about.
And yeah we encounter them fairly often seeing as we often play with people who are low ranked themselves like Jess and Shiny. Either way, it still doesn't matter. Everyone is good when you get higher up in the rankings. You'll either continue to improve to a point where you are able to beat them or you won't. It took me bloody ages to not be shiet at this game. It's only been the last couple of months where I've been able to properly hold my own. So you can either give up or keep going. Personally trolling the failures who have to make second accounts to be able to play well is easily worth the effort it took to get to this stage. There is nothing more satisfying in Halo.
Everytime I try to get in a Warthog for nice killing sprees my driver drives me into missile pods, rockets, lasers, and the like. Often its not even like, "Dang nothing we could done about that." More like, "STUPID IDIOT LOOK AT THE smurfING RED LIGHT SHINING AT US! RUUUUUUUUUUN!" *explodes* I've given up all hope in trying that now xDQuote:

I seriously want an Xbox 360 sometime soon. I would play Halo just to get my anger out. I don't care how
Anyways, frustrating game moments include playing FFIX for 2 hours straight trying to beat the final boss but failing miserably because I was too lazy to buff up my characters. Also in FFT the freaking scene with Ramza's brother. That
My FFVI party turning on themselves.
Accidently put bomb rage on Gau, he exploded himself.
Sabin and Edgar got confused, Edgar killed Sabin with Chainsaw and Sabin killed Cyan while Cyan was beserked. Worst battle EVER.
Other than that it's stupid things like the internet disconnecting. I think I've been d/c'd about 5 times on WoW and when I log back on, I discover I'm dead. What's worse, is a monster didn't kill me, some guy came by and got me when I couldn't do anything. :rolleyes2
It is easy to get sprees in warthogs man. Just look:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/10...86426-Full.jpg
You just need to try harder GB. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/10...py/valid-1.gif
Then again it's getting easy to get them on foot as well so it'll happen soon enough.
Also the worst thing that ever happened to me in Computer games was some bastard horrible level of hatred in the Crazy Taxi missons that me and J were doing one day. Some horrible track on a tiny road that was all zigzagged and shaped at horrible angles that you had to be a total master to turn on properly and get to the end in the time limit without falling into the sea. It had taken us until like 6 in the morning and I was getting closer and closer and then finally I did it, I reached the end, slammed the breaks on and threw my arms in the air in triumph, saw the win message pop up only to see the car slowly, slowly, PAINFULLY smurfING SLOWLY tipping off the edge of the track. And then it fell in. And we had to do it again. I was a broken man and James laughed for about half an hour which only made it worse and he still makes fun of me about it today. It didn't help that directly after that I got to the finish again and fell in again. Mother%^*(&%Ł^@ level of hate :(
I am not an Elite, GoldenBonko. And I never will be.
Except when you play SWAT
True, but that dude is playing Team Snipers.
The people where far less important then the positioning. ;)Quote:

Here is a few:
Losing a game of Fifa Street 2 by 21- 20 on hard cause the smurfing CPU scored with 00:01 on the clock.
In FFXII the first & only time I faced Zodiark I got his health down to where I couldnt even see any red on the boss health the bastard casts Darkja & kills my entire party with the stupid random death effect!
Playing The Getaway and after managing to escape a fire fight and then you walk out infront of a passing car and have to restart the mission:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:
Losing to my mate at Fifa 07 last Saturday nite 6-5 on penalties after managing to get a draw against the Classic 11 with Getafe having routed him 7-1 with the Classic 11 against Getafe the game before.
An entire memory card was corrupted...twice....
Gaah corrupted memory card :nonono:
Most of my failures are to do with being an unsaving idiot :(
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne... I seriously don't believe I have to go any farther than that in explanation.
Getting to the very end of FFTA, having only 2 missions left for completion and finding out I can't get the item necessary to qualify for said missions cause their are only three times you can get it and they are all one time missions; which means I most likely threw it away when I was cleaning out my quest item inventory... :cry:
Getting close to beating the uber boss version of I-No in GGXX story mode with Dizzy. Knocked her down to an inch of life and had her spam two supers. One used to make her invincible when I hit her with Dizzy's super attack and the second one killed me despite having half health... Made more frustrating cause I only have one shot at the fight cause I get a different ending depending on whether I win or lose...
Calm it with teh linguistics youguiz x.x?
Made it to Remilias final fight in SWR Lunatic without even dieing.
Died like 9 times in that final boss's first few spellcards.
T_T
Well...I was pretty far into Skies Of Arcadia Legends, when my brother saved over it with his file. I never touched that game ever again.
Here's my gaming hardware since I started playing again in 2006...Quote:

I always save my Masterball for the rare Pokémon that always run away. Shiny Pokémon are easily caught once you trap them with Mean Look and then status effect them, it's just a matter of finding them.Quote:

And yeah, I can sympathize with the Yoshi's Island deal. I had 100% in that game...and then lost it. It's still missing to this day.
Years ago, GoldenEye, Aztec, 00 Agent level. I'd just managed to upload the Launch Protocol Data and was running across to the ladder to open the exhaust bay and finish the level. As I ran past I got shot by a guy standing in the ventilation system and died. It was a one in a million chance that he could have hit me anyway, but it happened.
*sigh*
Oh and last night, got up to Cloud of Darkness in FF3 DS and, after owning every single miniboss on the way up without breaking a sweat, he owned me in about two turns.
Also, 194 lightning bolts in FFX. Went back a few days later and did 250 just to be sure ^^
Losing my level 100 Mewtwo when it went all funny trying to trade it across to the Silver version. Getting the damn Time Machine from Silver and Cable Club from Blue to synchronise, that was bloody hard enough, actually having the trade succeed was even worse! (I realise that level 100 Mewtwos are useless because nobody lets you use them, but he's my favourite so I always raise on anyway on principle.)
I always used to try and make that the first story ending I did (what with the number of times I've owned the game then had to get rid of it for whatever reason, then something happened to my save and so on). It was a real bitch.Quote:

Screen shakes...DOOMGAZE!
It killed me and I had to redo quite a bit of the Phoenix Cave.
Getting to the bottom of the Abyss in Wild Arms 3....then fighting the boss down there, using a bunch of Lucky Cards on my party, and not getting XP for it ANYWAY.
...The getting teleoprted to the top and having to fight it AGAIN.
And STILL no XP.
I'm still mad at that game. lol
Losing 200 VR points in Mario kart Wii because some guy in last place uses a blue shell on me. :angry:
Whats really annoying about that is the guy in last place will never get any benefit from it, it happens at least twice every race as well.
Getting killed on Diablo 2 because of lag is also incredibly annoying, It always seems to happen someplace where I have no way point as well.
I beat Blue Version only for my batteries to die as the old professor guy was talking to me. :(
In Xenosaga 2 after defeating one of those Erde Kaiser bosses I didn't save and ran into another creepy optional boss and died. The Erde Kaiser wasn't a difficult fight but it was a pain in the a.
FFXII I lost count of the number of times my game stalled after a bout of levelling.
FFX getting killed by a Marlboro in the Omega Ruins after gaining 80+ Sphere levels and several items required for status effect nulling slots on weapons.
I got owned by a thwomp in super mario the other day and I was like wtf
Pandemic 2, and the countless times I've managed to stealthily infect every country with my disease that has no symptoms to begin with... and then freakin' Madagascar closes its borders and shipyards.
This has happened to me maybe twenty times now.
I was playing Shadow Hearts and I was having trouble with a boss fight, it took a few tries, but finally I defeated it and prepared to see a very nice in game movie where (SPOILER)Seraphic Radiance destroys Shangai and that's when our cat walks in, steps on the controller that was on the floor and skipped the scene.
Argh.
And recently, while playing Suikoden III, somehow, I neglected to save during the entire 1st chapter of Chris or the game screwed up, I don't know how that could have been possible, but, yes!, having passed it and done my first tactical battle a few times, because I just did not know what the heck was I doing and had to go through a bunch of scenes every time I lost that damn tactical battle, I found that I had to do the entire chapter all over again and of course, the tactical battle again.
I don't know what it is, but I've been finding the water temple in TP really freaking difficult! I died so many times in the cog room aaaargh and I don't even have a good excuse. I'm so ashamed, I only phail due to poor gaming skillz :kaocry2:
Hmm gah moments happen loads to me, like 3 days solid FFVIII without saving apart from the disc swaps and then my playstation crashing due to heat....great!
Halo 3 Legendary Campaign Single Player, the damn arbiter once kicked a crate in to my head killing me on the flood levels in new mombasa. Thankfully it was just after a check point.
MGS2 Sons of Liberty European Extreme difficulty mode, this bears no explaining it's the most infuriating mode available you only need to be seen for a game over.
Mass Effect, I tend to do missions and forget to save so I rush through them and I'll do something ever so slightly stupid like touch lava with one wheel of the mako and die having no choice but to revert to the last auto save file, generally this is planet fall on the mission. :(
I've also had gah moments in Ace Combat (spectacular dog fight to find out I am at 20 feet after pulling out of my dive and to either somehow have someone on my 6 or to get clipped by an AA gun distracting me long enough to slam in to a surface) And many many many more.
You need to save more. :P
Glitches are the most GAH moments cos it's none of your own fault >.<
Digimon World: Dusk, I just beat the elite Mega Digimon that protect the world from the shadows which in turn unlocked a few new Digimon as random encounters in some old areas. Did some leveling on my Digi-farm and a few Digivolutions and went to check out the new things... I got a lv. 93 Armageddimon who wiped the floor with my best party configuration... so much time wasted.:( I need to learn to save more often...
Umm, you don't get a game over when you lose in that game, you wake up in your base. The only penalty is you lose some friendlyness from your team, but that's easily reobtainable.Quote:

Hm, when I came across a saving glitch on LoZ: Twilight Princess I was really pissed. I'd saved and turned it off, came to carry on playing and it restarted me on the other side of the bridge (which had been removed after I'd crossed it) so I had no way to get across and continue. I'd already done one temple and loads of things in Twilight so I was really pissed that it was all for nothing.
