    Default Horrible gaming experiences.

    I'm sure you've all had some horrible gaming experiences, huh? :scary::scary::scary::scary:

    Anyway, here are two that I remember quite good:

    Super Mario 4: At the end of a hard level, there was only a small gap between myself and the goal. So I walked forward, and I pressed another button instead of the jump button, so I walked right into the little gap, dying into tiny little pieces.

    Resident Evil: I was eating corn flakes and playing at the same time. WHAM!!!!1 MONSTER!!!!!11 Corn flakes everywhere. I was cursing for at least 5 minutes there :freak:

    Moral: Don't eat corn flakes, and misfit is a stupid poop (just because).

    Nice going, dude.

    I was playing Ninja Gaiden for XBox. The developers had to be stupid and make the game so unbarably hard that I threw my controller against the wall. Now the analog sticks wont work right.

    Moral: Don't play Ninja Gaiden

    Or destroy the walls before you start playing it.

    Final fantasy VIII

    I had an 80 hour game saved, nearly at the end and quite proud of myself. Till I got a bit bored from playing it 4 hours straight. Then decided to start a new game just for kicks.
    I saved over my 80 hour game by accident with my new game that only had maybe an hour on it. The TV nearly got the remote control through it and I swore I would never play it again.

    Two days later in my still depressed state I was starting all over again.

    Don't play games when tired...ATB RPGs are the worst. I use to fall asleep in battle(Never died) and would wake up with and be in a mad rush to heal and take down the baddies. Talk about crazy rush of being awake...until the next battle.

    My mom's friend's kis erased one of my n64 memory cards once. It was a long time ago, so I can't remember what I had saved on it, but I was really mad at the time. >=\

    I was playing Doom3 about a month ago. It was at night, I was home alone with my dog, and I had the lights off in my room. I forgot that my dog was under my desk and when I was walking through some hallway she moved and scared the crap out of me. I kicked her as a reaction then she almost knocked over my desk when she tried to get up. Noooot fun.

    You are horrible people. You forget to add morals. Every story needs a moral.

    The first time I ever beat Final Fantasy VI on Super Nintendo I freaked out because I had been trying for like a week and getting slaughtered by Kefka after the long ass tower fight. Instead of leveling up to fight him I just kept trying to prepare better and I FINALLY beat him. Like I said, I freaked out, foot went off of the bed on top of the SNES and the game froze as Kefka was fading away. I felt cursed. Only took me another 3 or 4 tries to beat him again, however.

    Moral: When you're about to beat a game, strap yourself to your bed or chair.

    Tales of Symphonia: I was going through the book dungeon (i.e. that optional dungeon with no savepoints) and managed to have some decent luck with the random stuff on each level. I managed to get to the final boss of the place and reduced it to about 1/3 to 1/4 of its HP. Then the power flickers off and on effectively destroying over an hour's worth of work. I haven't touched the game since.

    I was fighting the boss form of I-No on Guilty Gear XX and she was freakin' hard because she has this one supermove that can KO you even if you block. I kept wondering how to beat her when a friend of mine suggested something that I laughed at myself for overlooking, Faultless defence. Pressing and holding back+slash+heavy slash allows you to use your tension bar to generate a field that can block any attack. I used the stuff and I beat her that night. Moral: USE FAULTLESS DEFENCE.

    Playing a game with a girl when I was 12, my friend beat her and she threw a strop and dumped his ass. It was funny because it didn't happen to me.

    Sonic Advance 2 for the GBA makes my blood boil. Some of the bosses are stupidly difficult to beat, and this totally ruins the game. Robotnik got me so mad, I had to sell the game to a friend.

    Repeatedly dying in an old game called Nebulus for the Atari made me angry. Very angry. The object of the game was to reach the top of a lighthouse - but there were enemies along the way that would knock you off. The most annoying of these enemies was a small flying robot who would appear at the most inconvenient times. I'd be very close to finishing a level after half an hour of blood, sweat and tears, and that stupid flying robot would knock me all the way back to the bottom again.

    Mortal Kombat II was unbelievably annoying. Enough said.

    That's enough for one night, methinks, as my blood is literally boiling inside me right now.

    HAHAHA, I was playing that during the ride to and from Florida, this past summer, since it was a 15-20 hour drive. That one boss that was a wheel and had that extending hand and laser was the BIGGEST female dog ever. It took me, literally, 7 tries to beat it. The next two bosses were extremely easy, though, but Robotnik was unnecessarily difficult.

    Moral: Try and try until you win... Until you get to Robotnik.

    Okay, this one was from FFX. So, the game loads up and, before I know it, I'm taking an axe to my PS2, my PS2 controllers, my TV, and, heck, even my face.

    Moral: Don't play FFX.

    Viewtiful Joe. For those that have played this game, you know exACTLY what I'm talking about. That lion boss was incomparably difficult. After 10 tries, I got him down to only half of his health. HALF. THAT WAS THE MOST AGGRAVATING THING I'VE EVER FOUGHT. 8 months, 2 days, 6 hours, and 2 seconds later, I still have not beaten it. Viewtiful Joe will forever lay unbeaten in a standing on my shelf of video-games. *Sigh*

    Moral: When you encounter a lion that has flames coming out of it as a final/second to final boss, don't bother. You're only going to poop yourself, then cry at night. You will cry like a baby and you will cry to sleep. You will run into your parents' room and cry like a baby.
