Games that make you awful when you lose at them

[LunarWeaver]

Nobody likes to see that Game Over screen. But some games make me feel like a bag of suck and a gust of rubbish hit each other and I was magically created. Here are some of mine D:

Tales of the Abyss. I think it's because I like the characters so much. Your party dying gets you the words "And they were never heard from again..." That's so damn depressing.

Kingdom Hearts 2. It's so easy that nobody should be dying in the first place. And sometimes Mickey will come save your ass when you do. Nothing says failure like a cute mouse coming in to take care of business because you couldn't.

Dragon Quest VIII. It goes something like-
Priest: "Oh, hey there! You must be more careful when roaming that dangerous world, buddy! It's cool, though, I brought ya back. By the way, I took half your gold pieces, LOL! Religion can't perform miracles without lots of your money. I know you were saving up for the last dozen hours to buy one piece of equipment, but a church has gotta pay the bills, ya dig? Anyway, hurry up and go save the world already."

I like yelling at my Puzzle Quest game.

i hate it when your playin the ff's and get stuck on bosses that you allways kill but just cant today! your classic exsample of these are demon gate from V11 cerburous from VIII and that stupid black ball thing in iX. oh and the sanatry keeper in 10.
theres allways one isnt there.....
but the game that did this even harder for me was.....

Bubble Booble.
no matter how much we tryed we just couldent get pas lvl 199. do you know how hard it is to have played a game for hours and soooo close to completing it but yiou just cant....

it still haunts me to this day!

Final Fantasy anyone? After getting killed on your way to the saving spot, right after a boss fight, you have to spend 5 minutes jumping over the cutscenes, 30 minutes killing the boss again, etc. I hate it.

Not so much loosing a game, but being dissed for sucking at it.

One of the first times I played the orignal Xbox version of Ninja Gaiden, I spent a long long time trying to kill the first boss. I died and restarted several times until I finally came up with a way to defeat him.

Then, after all that effort, I was 'rewarded' with the title 'NINJA DOG'. I was upset.


And yeah, Duck Hunt.

What was that Xbox mech game with the giant controller? If you got a game over and failed to eject from the cockpit, your save data was erased.

Definitely Fire Emblem. On the hardest difficulties, you can spend an hour + on a mission, only to die when the enemy had a 5% chance of critical hit paired with a 30% chance to hit you.

Suikoden v usually when you die you get a game over screen and can restart the battle but certain bosses give youbad endings I got set back 3 hours cus of that

Steel Battalion. I have it.

The save data isn't neccessarily erased, just that that particular pilot is permanently dead and you have to start over. It isn't that bad, but does get kind of annoying. It's realistic in that you can't pause the game, or restart a mission (I think if you reset the console in-game, it counts as a mission fail/eject and you have to do it over, while losing the mech).

The only way to pause it is to unplug the controller :P

"Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAKE!"

You really feel Campbell's pain.

It's not that easy. Unless of course you were on beginner mode?

Final Fantasy anyone? After getting killed on your way to the saving spot, right after a boss fight, you have to spend 5 minutes jumping over the cutscenes, 30 minutes killing the boss again, etc. I hate it.

I got stuck on a boss in FFXII and it took me about eight tries to get it. After I finally did I assumed there would be a savepoint nearby because I hadn't seen one in awhile. So my MP is out and I can't use healing magic to heal my characters, and I don't want to waste precious items when the savepoint is right there. I didn't realize no one had libra, and I ran into a trap and died. DIED!


Aaaannyway, to answer the original question, it would be Threads of Fate. Especially when you have super characters. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for that.

[Tavrobel]

Diablo II. No one should die in that game. Ever. And yet, I still die, because of Iron Maiden.

Warcraft III. Seriously. WTF Grom? How about having your Critical Strike not suck this time?

Any FF except V. I mean, I died just because I knew I had one hit on the boss left, but didn't want to use a Potion and lost 2 hours of progress? Are you kidding me? Seriously. Ohh, and leaving the controller unplugged while playing FFX-2 does not actually make the game harder.

Kingdom Hearts II. It often involves a serious lack of X button mashing and other button using, such as Square.

Kingdom Hearts I. After you get Second Chance, you get infinite chances.

Starfox 64. My leetness has been shot down and now I have to use a crappy single laser?

Super Smash Brothers Melee. But that's more of a got-your-ass kicked thing.
