Thread: Ever had that perfect moment in a game completely ruined?

  1. #1

    Default Ever had that perfect moment in a game completely ruined?

    This is for posting that moment where you had just beaten part of a game amid almost impossible odds, only to die at that very moment. Alternatively you could tell us the moment where, with a great stroke of luck, and by accident, you won, even though you weren't expecting to.

    I've had a lot of those moments, but the worst time that I had beaten a part of a game only to lose the progress was: I was playing FF1, and had just invested about 2 and a half hours into a difficult cave, and I had just finished it with only my Red Mage still alive. At this point I had not used memo much, simply because I find it annoying; you always have to remember that the save is NOT permanent. Now, just to skip some random battles (I was on Normal difficulty on FF Origins), I went straight to the Western Keep to give my hard-earned Crown to the King. I only use walkthroughs when I have to, so I had no idea the supposed "King" was really a deadly boss in disguise!!! And so, my poor Red Mage died, and I was yelling various heavy curses, livid.

    So basically share your various game experiences where A. You died just as you had beaten a really tricky part of the game, miraculously or B. You somehow managed to beat a really tricky part by accident. You don't have to give as much detail as I did, and you can give more than one example if you want.

    >>> Game freezing, not saving and then someone turning off the console..
    >> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..

    Well, it was not console's fault, but...

    Me and a cousin were playing Sunset Rides once, and we were with the last boss, when my father come and say: "I can beat him in one move" and cut off the energy.

    I was playing Timesplitters when I just got to this bit where ya fight about 20 zombies. My revolver ran out. My shotgun ran out. My flamethrower ran out. My health was at bugger all. The last zombie was about to kill me...and A PERFECT HIT with a baseball bat sent his head flyin.

    Yes... I have one.

    Playing Final Fantasy 7 way back in the day... got through sephoroth in the last disc... then... I didn't know there would be battles after it. So I have no potions or anything. Then... Sephoroth fights me 2 more times, on the 3 fight... he turned me into a frog... and used that one move that no-one can live through.

    DAMN GAME!

    Then... I wonder why the PS1 was broken after... No clue... *whistles to cover up what happend*

    Well, I beat Quadraxis with about 3 hit points left, and was really excited about getting the Annihilator Beam. Those of you who've played Metroid Prime 2 know why I died shortly afterwards. Though, I am much better at fighting that boss now. Easy

    I was on the last lvl of killzone with Lugar(spy/ninja person). I was clearin out rooms "stealthily" and when I say that I mean throwin grenades all over and runiin and gunnin.Then i do the objective I was tryin to do thats really really hard. I have a clip of ammo left. I also have very little health. A squad of super troopers come in and start firing at me. I try to evade and kill with my knife and I get to the one i thought was the last one, and get shot by another one.

    Final Fantasy VIII
    i enabled a Game Shark code that allowed Edea to be a permanent character. things were fine for the most except when i'm climbing ladders, i appear to be "stuck" and the game may sometimes freeze or cause a glitch while fighting Ultimecia (usually in her final form).

    Final Fantasy X
    i used to think i could ruin my Final Fantasy VIII for good if i failed at Lunatic Pandora. guess i was proven wrong, but i just happened to stumble on one i cannot rewind for Final Fantasy X regarding Bahamut's Break Damge Limit.

    Final Fantasy XI

    i didn't download nVidia for my pc so i experienced a lot of random d/c, freezing, lagging, and fuzzy graphics during gameplay - until i fixed it.

    I'm currently playing Deathmatch in Worms Armageddon, and I've gotten up to the rank of Hero. Basically, this mean it's four of my guys against twelve CPU's. Twice I've almost beaten it and died trying to kill the last guy, and then getting knocked back two ranks.So yeah, it's frustrating as heck.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Final Fantasy VII,
    I defeated the first part of Sephiroth at the end of the game.
    I celebrated until I heard One Winged Angel,
    again I was gripping the controller & lost the fight!!!
    I was so disappointed.....

    Then I decided to level up my characters, I defeated both Sephiroths after that.
    I was very happy, until I met Sephiroth for a showdown of fate!!!
    After using omnislash & watching the ending, I cried!!!

    Memories are sure good!!!

    I had one more man to kill while playing Golden Eye with my friends. I hadnt lost all day and we had been playing since that morning. I had full health. This was the last game of the day. I was shot. I ran and began firing like a madman in all directoins. Then out of nowhere my friend got back in the game and sniped me from afar. The bastard.
