Most Stressful Gaming Experiences

[Formalhaut]

My most recent frustration towards a game wasn't caused by the game but, by my oh so cute kitty stepping on the power strip and shutting my PC down after 6 solid hours of Civ 5 without saving

Oooooo. :frust:

Too many random encounters. You know that feeling when you just want to get through an area towards the next major mission and every 2 steps, some stupid enemy challenges you. Especially when it's a Zubat.

Timed missions. When the countdown reaches zero, I blow up.

Also, the first time I fought a Lambent Berseker in Gears of War 3 on Hard. Stupid muther keeps on chasing me so I had to dodge and roll half the time instead of shooting, which is pretty easy until she starts leaking imulsion and kills me on contact.

Zubat uses Supersonic!

[Your Pokemon] is confused!

It hurt itself in it's own confusion

10 SMURFING TIMES.

Zubat. I think that really should be the end of this thread.

Another extremely stressful gaming experience for me was always the last half of a Halo party at a friend's house. I am terrible at that game as it is, and everyone just gets in such bad moods after the first hour or so. I would get yelled at for sucking, people would be cussing each other out, people would be mad each other even the next day. So stressful for me, haha.

I couldn't get to disc 2 because I couldn't press "a" fast enough at the end of disc one....

I immediately thought of Game Grumps xD

This might sound a little weird, but when your character is in a hitting slump in MLB: The Show it is the worst thing ever. LIke 10 games in a row of going hitless is enough to make me want to throw things all over the place.

Fire Emblem Awakening
Classic Mode
Lunatic Difficulty
Castle Apotheosis
The Secret Battles

Six fights, no saving, against some of the absolute cheapest enemies I've seen in almost any game I remember playing. Stats higher than your maximums (I saw an enemy with 99 Luck), Skills you can never acquire (like Hawkeye: enemy attacks always hit, and Dragonskin: protects against Counter damage, critical hits, and cuts all damage in half), outnumbering you, and relentless as can be.

The further you get, the more the stress ramps up, because you never want to lose a character.

I am not looking forward to Lunatic+.

Catching any legendaries in pokemon games....
I swear, even when they're at like 20% health left, asleep, and insulted enough to be insecure and self-conscious.... it either takes 500000 balls of every type.... or you get it in like 5.
And thats not even bringing up the number of times you RANDOMLY crit and kill them OH MY GOD WHY DID YOU DO THAT HYPNO YOU ASSHOLE I WILL DISOWN YOU AND SELL YOU INTO POKESLAVERY.

Trying to do Blitzes with a Turbo Touch 360.

Yeah, that didn't last long.

RIP my Turbo Touch 360, by the way.

QTE, QTE, QTE, QTE, QTE. Don't time it perfectly and you die and have to do it all again. This is why I never finished Bayonetta.

Anything that involves playing with other people, basically. Big part of why I stopped playing WoW: because my social anxiety was spreading to dungeons in game.

[Synoptikal]

twelve smurfing hours spread out over three days of losing to this boss over and over

It seems your pathetic magic BETRAAAYED YOOOU!

The optional dungeons in ANY Star Ocean game, specifically Sphere 255. 255 floors, most looking alike, with harder versions of the main story bosses on select floors, ending with a hard as HELL fight at the top of the dungeon.
