Tales of Symphonia: I'm increadibly forgetful. As in, I save, look away for a split second, and look back at the game wondering if I saved. Anyway, I was playing, an thanks too my forgetfulness, I forgot to save. I lost against a boss and had to start back at I don't remember where. I hate my memory skills.
Doomsday: Mortal Kombat games suck anyway (except for Deception)
Oh, I just played Zero Tolorance for the Genesis/Megadrive. Worst FPS game of all time.
Moral: Don't play this game
DK64, that village/forest/whatever world, in the barn, there's a bonus barrel. In that bonus barrel is the most inocuous little mine cart minigame.
Except it's the most EVIL minigame in the whole entire world, it took me about 50 tries to beat, and after each mind bendingly, heart crushing failure, I smacked the side on the controller with my right hand in anger.
After about attempted 49, I smacked it so hard that I broke it, and the memory card/rumble pack fell out and smashed into my foot, leaving me with a broken memory card, broken controller, seriously painful foot and swollen right hand.
I calmed down, beat the damned minigame, and moved on.
In pain.
Moral : Rare are evil.
Bubsy 3D: This game frightened me. Honestly, the scenery was bland, and the music scared meless.
Moral: Dont play games that scare you
FF1 and FF2: Getting into unwanted random battles when you are on very little health.
Moral: Make sure you get anger management before playing these games.
EDIT: What's with the smilies?

"I r teh Sneaky Sephiroth"
Well I was playing FFII and well I was walking around a very hard area and 2 of my guys were dead 1 was alive at critical HP and zero MP (I had only 3 members) & no items to help me and everytime I walked 1 (!!!!!) step and a bunch of monsters attack I can never survive I'm stuck there no where to go and if it was legal blood would've been spilled that day but instead pieces of my wall were broken off from my fists of mighty fury!
Moral: When traveling in FF use all life expenses on Phoenix Downs, Potions, Cure spells, potions, and wander off only at high levels and then level up more and spend even more money on Phoenix Downs ,potions, and cure spells.
I was helping my little bro with a game (forget what it was) and I ended up staying up there for hours because he ended up keeping me in their against my will with the assistance of mom and dad of course.
Moral: NEVER HELP A YOUNGER SIBLING (ESPECIALLY THE BRATTY ONES)!

I just finished Star Ocean 3 yesterday, so I believe it is fitting.
I decided to enter the final dungeon at level 60. I had 20 blackberries and 12 mental enhancers. There's a swarm of bosses along the way which I did not count on. By the time I reached the final save point I was down to only 2 blackberries and 11 mental enhancers. Those were my only MP restoring items. You can be incapacitated by either HP or MP reaching 0 in Star Ocean, so I was scared the last boss would MP kill me. My friend beat the game a week ago and told me he died 12 times on the last boss.
Moment of truth, I engage his ass. Cliff goes in strong with Fists of Fury, Albel is backing him up with Palm of Destruction. Sophia is sitting back casting fairy light. It's too bad the final boss DOES damage your mp. I'm getting MP and HP hit with every attack. I finally beat him and am down to 0 blackberries and 10 mental enhancers. But it isn't over. I have to fight him a second time.
This is where I realize how my friend had to try this guy 12 times. This bastard opens up with Flame Divide which hits over and over and over again in a large radius and damages HP and MP. I've got to keep my HP up and still watch my MP. Fists of Fury is hitting for 6000 total and Palm is hitting for 4000. I'm constantly getting MP killed and am wasting all of my revival items. Just when things are looking up, he uses a new attack: Perfect Symmetry. He goes invincible and unleashes a huge explosive right on my head which MP kills 2 of my 3 characters. I revive the other two in time for him to use his ultimate attack: Insanity Prelude. Needless to say I'm wiped out.
I Game Over 5 more times before I finally beat him. I end up actually soloing the bastard, dodging his attacks and sneaking in a Palm of Destruction when I can. The lesson to be learned here is that if you can almost beat a boss, there is no need to go back and level up some more. You just have to try a few more times until you get lucky.
To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.
THIS is the ultimate team.

moral: dont share rpg's with siblings. or memory cards for that matter.
Letting my sister play Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and having to do all the puzzles for her and bosses. Same with Kingdom Hearts (she only played it because of Disney... and yes she is 19 years old).
I used to get really angry when playing a lot of SNES and NES games back in the day, used to throw the controler around because I couldn't do something. =)
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
Let's see..
- Any of the times I attempted to play FFVIII
- This one level in Toejam and Earl: Panic on Funkotron, which I described in a topic once before, it was just a very hard and annoying level which took me aggggges and for a person with not much patience anyway, well..it got me pretty mad >=O Although I forgive it for being the most fun game ever <3
- Grim Fandango. I was just hurt at the 3D-ness/lack of mouse pointer/lack of "Walk to/Look at/Pick up" in a LucasArts game. So I played about 10 seconds of it. xD
FF10/-2 was a shocker...
Tunnel B1, I was payed to play it.
All the doom clones, they bug me to hell. Doom wasnt that great anyway.
Sonic Adventure 2, sucked as all the good features was removed... greaaattttt choice.
Casper, I was tricked into buying it.
"NPC: Sorry this house is sealed off because of Blight"
Super Mario Bros. 3: When I was much younger, I played this game. But I never was able to beat it. I enter the last area with 100+ lives, and there was this one level I just couldn't beat for the life of me. After three-ish hours of depleting my lives to zero, I still didn't beat, it was upseting.
Parasite Eve: It was hard enough beating Eve's child (forgot its name), but then you have to escape from the boat. And there's this part where you have to turn around and somehow avoid Eve's child chasing you. Much easier said than done, I tried this about twelve times before I just gave up. One of my friends helped me and I finally saw the ending.
SimCity2000: For weeks when I first got this game, no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get a city to get going. I didn't know what was wrong, I thought I was using all of my resources. However, it seems that people don't like living without water. I didn't know of the water system, and when I finally found that out, cities started going.
.hack//MUTATION: Magus isn't really that bad. It has an attack which wipes out about 75% of my characters' HP, which I quickly restore. Then, out of no where, that same attack suddenly becomes uberpowerful and deals like 2000+ damage, which my characters can't sustain. I've only tried twice, but I still haven't beat it.
Diablo II: LoD:
MultiShot Lighting Enchanted Enemy + Barbarian = Death
Mana Burn Extra Fast Cold Immune Enemy + Sorceress = Death
Super Smash Bros. Melee: Event 51. I spent many many many hours trying to beat this before I finally beat it. And that was after spending about a half hour figuring out how to beat Event 50. And when I finally figured it out, I felt a bit silly for not thinking of the solution sooner. But you know, when do you ever think to use Jigglypuff for anything?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: This is pretty dumb on my part. In the Deku Tree, you go to the room with the rising platforms and and the Gold Skulltulla. You have to light the torch to unlock the room. I must have spent about thirty minutes in that room, not realizing that one can light a Deku Stick on fire. I was just walking near the lit torch with a Deku Stick and it caught fire by accident. Silly me.
TheAbominatrix saved over my Final Fantasy VII save. She very nearly died that day.
For some reason, I couldn't beat Cerberus the first time in Kingdom Hearts. I swear, I tried at least 20 times. And then my little brother was like, "hey, why don't you try using dodge roll?" I did, and I won. I won't ever do that battle again. It made me angry.
And then there was the time in FF7 when I used the save crystal in the northern crater near the top. And then I saved over my save file instead of a new one. I was so angry, I wouldn't touch the game for weeks. And then I got over it and beat it.
Good things:
| FF7 | Kingdom Hearts | AerisxSeph | SoraxKairi | TifaxRufus | RenoxYuffie | TsengxElena |
I'm rad. You're rad. Let's hug.
Once, a friend and I played all the way through Vatti's Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for the GBA. It didn't take all that long, but wasn't exactly the easiest process. We got to Vatti, and he kept talking and talking...I was excited, and trying to skip the text. I absently started hitting buttons and reset my gameboy.
...D'oh! Moral:...Never hit A, B, Start, and Select at the same time!!
