I'm going to have to say the boss fight in the dream world in xenosaga ep1, where its required to use the mech suits to win. Mind you this is about 3/4 of the way through the game

This may not sound so bad except that I had been able to breeze through the game up to that point without ever having the need to use the mech suits, and thus never put an ounce of upgrade into them.

Boss bitch slaps group, unable to advance in game, consider starting a new game and pimping out the mechs this time and still not use them till that fight, say to hell with it and never pick it up again

Not sure if this one counts, but the words 'F&%^ YOU!' were definitely utilized.

The infamous Vampire quest in Oblivion on PS3. I killed myself for hours trying to cure myself only to have the witch refuse to take the ingredients for the potion. I kept thunking, maybe I have the wrong stuff or not enough. After tearing my hair out I finally consulted the Internet, only to discover that the PS3 version has a bug in it to prevent you from finishing the quest. So, I had to erase my Shivering Isles game files, reload the game with the original game disk, give her the ingredients (which now worked), then reload Shivering Isles. Forunately, I hadn't entered the Shiver Isles by that time or I would have lost all my equipment (or so I'm told).

I hated that quest. I have the 360 version and that quest bugged out for me as well. I was able to cure myself, but after that you are supposed to meet the count in a certain area but he never appeared for me which made it so that I was never able to complete the quest.

Man, God's an unfair asshole sometimes...

i was doing one of those "kill these people stealthy missions within 4 mins"

i killed all of them and thought damn now all i have to do is get back to the guy and then im done

BUT i knew that something bad was going to happen because this mission was strangly easy so as i'm going back to the informant.

i'm only 5 seconds away from him then out of no where THE F$%KING BEGGER WOMAN JUST COMES OUT AND DOING "i'm going to make you lose ritual" me knowing thisn is not going to end simply keeps holding X so i blend in and disturb anything..

THE BITH IS CIRCALING ME AND THEN JUST LITEREALLY RUNS INTO ME CAUSING HER TO FALL TO THE GROUND!!!!

as you probaly figured out by now every gaurd in the city starts running after me for standing still !!

DAM YOU GOTTA HATE UBISOFT FOR THIS KINDA THINGS

Fable 2 he shot my fucking dog

fuck you dead space and that god dam tentacle that pulls you through a FUCKING MOUSE HOLE just after i freeze that other monster.

Gran Tourismo (I forget which one), one of these odd periods where I think racing games are cool, I had been racing one of those 2 hour endurance races and 200 meters from the finish in the last corner some guy I had lapped 3 times tapped my right rear wing, I spun and was passed by number two ,who had been dogging me the entire race and won.
At this point I screamed F*CK YOU at the top of my lungs and actually snapped my playstation controller in half and through one of the half's at the TV.
Since then I have never played Gran Tourismo again.

One of my biggest "FUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUU" are when im playing Cod:4 online.Ok so i kill 3 guys,get UAV,Whoooo.Kill 2 more get air strike,Yay.Use Air Strike kill one guy,get sort panicy.kill 1 guy,Yeah i got the helicopter.Call it in and it either get blown up in the first seconds or its dosen't kill ANYONE.then a team mate calls in a Helicopter and it kills 15 guys only to have me yelling FUUUUUUCKKKK YOUUUUUUUU and quieting.

And another Cod:4 online thing.have a sniper rifle.Am at guys head.Shoot.Guy dosen't die and then it turns out i got lag and die after 2 seconds only to watch the death cam showing that i did NOT shoot.

Bill is the biggest asshole ever. I was healing in a corner with 18hp and a smoker gets me. Bill is right next to me, but he runs away and pretend that nothing ever happened. Thanks a lot, Bill! (<-- Irony)

Almost any FPS (CS and CoD4 in particular): Unloading a shotgun in somebody's face leaving them no worse for wear, only to take you down with a couple random bullets from an SMG. Or, when somebody knifes you in the face after running head-long through a spray of bullets from your assault rifle. Or, when you're standing behind them and go to shank them, but it doesn't register (usually because you're *too close*), but they are alerted by the sound, turn around, and rip you to shreds.

CoD4: Sneaking up and knifing somebody, only to find out they have the Martyrdom perk, giving you an insufficient 3 seconds to run away from the grenade they left behind.

Oblivion: The first time I went through a hell gate and had to kill the guy at the top of the tower. About half-way through clearing the building, I run out of potions, arrows, and anything else that could help me fight those little fire imps that tear you apart in melee combat. I can't progress forward until I can get something to help me live, but I could never go back far enough to buy anything -- all the NPCs would insist I finish the quest first. After a couple hours of trying to find a way through, I just gave up.

ROM CHECK FAIL (if you've never played it, check it out): I had a line of asteroids spinning above me, but I didn't have time to kill them all. It then switches me to Mario and them all to goombas, which rain down on my head. It was as hilarious as it was frustratingly impossible to avoid. Actually, due to the (intentionally) buggy nature of that game, it's constantly creating "fuck you" moments.

big fuck you moment...L4D expert when your creeping around the buildings in the mercy hospital...and it bugs so you walking around you check the rooms...you kill the 4-5 zombies in the hall and you turn into the last room and you can hear something...so you turn your flashlight on and theres a fucking tank right there and all you have time to say is "oh fuck of-"

the monopoly guy:
Yes, Left 4 Dead is really buggy. I walked around a corner, and there was a tank so I backed up and guess who spawned behind me? A boomer. Yay. So I get puked on and then the tank comes after me.

Oh, yeah, and whenever I get pinned down and Bill is the only one that can save me, he doesn't. He just sit's there picking his has right next to me. He has never once save me. I hate Bill with a passion.

Left 4 Dead is nothing but a long series of fuck you moments. In adversarial mode it's even worse, but at least there you get the satisfaction of facing your tormentors and repaying them in kind.

I'd say RPG's offer the biggest letdowns. A fairly common mechanic is a battle near the end of the game where you face the main bad guy and are forced to win a (usually) difficult fight. Then you get a cut scene showing your character getting owned, the bad guy saying something snarky or plot twisting, and then running off, usually having killed or taken a part member with them.

I would have to say far cry 2, here's why: Ok, i have a new mission, my objective is at the other side of the map, alright, lets go to the weapon shop to pick up some new weapons, great, got my guns. Now, i'm driving to the objective, which always seems to be conveniently placed at the other side of the map. En route there, i have to fight countless enemy patrols and stupid little road patrols that seem to be intent into ramming whatever they are driving into whatever i am driving until one of us explodes, right, moving on. I get to my objective, big surprise, over 9000 enemies, but, oh wait, i just traveled across the map fighting patrols, so, my weapons are more rusty than a New Jersey water main, causing them to jam and eventually explode in my face, forcing me to pick up the enemies shitty weapons that blow up in my face too, thus, rendering the time i took to buy the new weapons, and travel all the way across the map, completely useless.....fuck you.

A friend of mine used to love this Japanese Mech game for the PS2 called R.A.D.(Robot Alchemic Drive). He really, really liked it, but the moment I tried to play it when the camera decides to switch between your mech and the enemy's mech while you're trying to figure out and maneuver around the ridiculously sluggish and slow controls, making you mech fall down and you have to spend half a minute trying to get its shiny, metal ass back up. I felt f***ed.

Also, I was really looking forward to playing KOTOR, because I heard it was a great Star Wars game, but when I got the chance to play it, I was greeted with admirable voice acting, nice graphics, a beautiful world, and THE WORST F***ING COMBAT SYSTEM IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!!!! I am not kidding for a moment when I say KOTOR has the worst combat system I have ever played. You can't have your character do any specific actions YOU want it to do, and if you try moving his stupid ass around enemy attacks, the game says FUH Q and breaks you out of combat mode. I was so disappointed when everything else about the game was fantastic, but the combat system rendered the game unplayable to me. Tetris Attack has a better combat system.

And in Force Unleashed when you have to fight those damn Purge Troopers and their magically accurate missiles they shoot at you whenever you're anywhere outside of a 10 ft. radius of them, and they always knock you out of a jump and always when you're trying to fight another enemy.

And here's an old one, Street Fighter 2: Turbo. I want to kill Guile with the most burning passion that ever lived. If you weren't close enough to kick you, he'd spam his f***ing Sonic Boom attack without stopping, and once you got close to him, he'd hit you with his sweep kick of abnormally long range, longer range that a full arm swipe from Vega(who has Wolverine claws), and then he'd resume spamming Sonic Boom. It's foot-through-TV frustration.

Another old one, from Paper Mario when you fight Bowser's last form, and has this move he likes to pull off every so often that heals HALF HIS HEALTH.

In Soul Calibur 2 when you spent the whole Weapon's Master mode beating every mission there is only to be rewarded with Lizardman, the worst character in the damn game.

With all the Spys, Snipers, Demomen, Sentrys, Sandvichs, and whatever running around every day, a F*CK YOU moment is inevitable in TF2. But my pick are Gooumba stomps on the 2F2F server, I have lost more games because of that than any other thing in TF2. Oh good steam has started up time for some TF2 fun. XD

hippieshopper:
I was playing Fallout 3 and I was hiding behind I wall shooting at raiders using VATS and it said I had a 95% chance to hit the guy's head and so I clicked on his head twice, just to make sure, and when I clicked okay my character started firing into the wall, and when I exited VATS they all noticed me and murdered me.

God, I don't know HOW MANY TIMES that has happened to me. How is it that I can kill something at a corner without even going into VATS when the computer thinks the WALL is the enemy?

All of Megaman 9, which owes this to the fact that it's a classic style Megaman game. It seems that I often have the choice to jump face first into a wall of spikes or down into a bottomless pit.

Or when your tanks have the same fate.

Left 4 Dead, last mission in any campaign, your about to jump on the helicopter/APC/Boat/Plane, whatever and a smoker grabs you and pulls you back 30 or 40ft into a wall of zombies. On expert you've fought through maybe an hour and a half of rationing pills, fighting over med packs, molotovs and pipebombs only to be dragged away to your death when you are 2 steps from completion. If that doesn't scream 'F*ck you' then I don't know what does.

Top 4

4) Every JRPG and Turn based game is filled to the brim with one. Case and point, Final Fantasy. I dare you to prove me wrong

3) Lost Oddessy: After the fight with the giant energy worm thing that killed off most of your party ANOTHER one appears with no break in between fights and no HP/MP recovery. I sat there like "Your fucking kidding me"

2) Portal: No cake, is there any more to be said

1) Ninja Gaiden Black: How has nobody said this? the whole game is a "fuck you" situation. ITS EVEN WRITTEN ON THE WALL AT ONE POINT

I'm lucky enough to have not yet had that happen to me, but I have seen it happen. I felt sorry for the poor guy. Particularly with Expert mode, which is all I even want to play on anymore, it has to hurt.

In Halo 2 I once spent an hour wandering around a complex wondering how to access the next area before finding out that all the doors are locked because one of the enemies decided to spawn half-inside an ammo crate and thus immobile.

There was also this one time in GTA3 where I parked a tank as a roadblock, finished a mission, then spawned under the tank. Fortunately I had some grenades so I could blow myself up from under the tank and didn't have to turn the power off and play the mission over.

No, never. Never in a million years. Never will the damage be undone. Bill is pants on head retarded and couldn't save you from a mouse. Not from a mouse already stuck in a moustrap.

And dead.

Francis and Louis AIs are good to me, Zoey is ok.

But, I. Hate. Bill

I have a simple solution. Well, two of them:

1) Play on-line, the way it was meant to be played, and
2) If you insist on playing Singleplayer, play as Bill so you don't have that problem.

Once every chapter in N+ for the DS

FF3 DS fighting the salamander boss, when you need one more hit to kill him, he breathes fire on everyone and kills your team.

Starcraft, zerg rushes.

Resident Evil 4 - You leave Ashley by a door or somewhere without enemies and run off to fight a mob. (Only with a knife if you're challenging yourself.) You fend off 20-30 bad guys. You have that warm and fuzzy feeling of accomplishment inside. Then, another generic weakling spawns just about right next to her and kidnaps her before you can even say "well F*** you too!" Or Los Dos Gigantes when you drown one in lava and then he just grabs you and drags you down with him.

Fallout 1/2 - I loved these games, but I really hated how they approached me. Basically, they'd just dump you into the world without any real explanation on how to play and sit on the sidelines twiddling their thumbs waiting for you to do something. After about an hour of dicking around with the interface your ready to do some good ol' questing. But you will run into bugs, some break your game by screwing over the necessary dialog to progress after completing the objective, thus changing your reception by EVERY SINGLE F***ING NPC if it's especially plot-critical. But then, guess what? Your last save was hours ago, because you were too distracted by the almighty immersion. There were no crutches like autosave either. Then the games would just pompously stand in their high up place of power, smugly remark "Well, it's your own damn fault." and move on without you, leaving you discouraged for days until you either hope to god you have an unbugged save (about a 1 in 5 occurrence) or start another fucking new game and vow to save much more often which was quite difficult with only 10 slots to utilize. The patches didn't help much either. Like Vista's, they pretty much caused more problems than they solved.

IT HAS GOT TO BE THE END OF FABLE II
I'm wondering why more of you didn't say it, but then again maybe more of you have better luck with what games you buy...

SPOILERS FABLE II

Well, it's not really a spoiler, just good advice for why you shouldn't ever buy this game. But in a game called Fable there is no real story (I could've pulled a better out of my ass on the spot) first of all, and second there are no bosses... Hell, MGS4 is a tactical espionage game with more bosses than that, GEARS has fucking bosses. Fable II? No bosses. So what happens to the main character? Well, he's charging up and I'm getting ready for an insane battle, then the fucker I saved earlier just shoots him in the head with one shot. And the game is over like that. Then you get some stupid choices and you're done. And no I don't want to play to the fucking game that just took my only boss fight away and dumped me back out on the street to keep playing NOTHING because there aren't any more quests.

Rockband's game over screen is too long when you're pissed off from failing for whatever time it is.

The entire Assassin's creed game. Thought it would be one of the best games of all time. But I guess it's a fun new thing those devs like doing nowadays: bringing us up, WAAAAY UP, then giving us a roundhouse kick to the face and laugh while we tumble down a rocky cliffside for hours.

GTAIV. EVERY reviewer ever gave this game a 10/10, except for Yahtzee of course (he may be the only reviewer left in this world with a little sense) and yet it was the most overblown piece of shit sandbox game I ever played. It looked nice. ...Yup, that's about it. Where was the fun in GTA anymore? Where WERE THE FUCKING PLANES (maybe the biggest blow to the face). And where was the skydiving? The rampages? The FUN minigames? The not having to take your annoying friends on playdates or whatever you want to call it...

Any JRPG-The moment I realize I haven't leveled up nearly enough to beat this dungeon, it's been 4 hours since I last saved, I'm out of any possibly helpful items, and I'm staring at the boss.

God of War trying to climb up those damned (pun intended :) revolving spikes in that place which could possibly be a spoiler. You touch it with your little pinky and your pinky survives while YOU as a person might as well have just had Pyramid Head take his giant knife (it is a knife right?) and play baseball with your face. Then you have to climb right back in order for this shit to happen at least two more times (like 10+ for me). Then of course there were those spiked revolved bridges... I think I can only cry I get so angry looking back on it.

The first time you beat Guitar Hero 3 on expert and Through Fire and Flames starts playing over the credits. You just can't believe it's an actual song

Ok sorry about that, invisible walls in the original Halo that seem to push you off objects and off ledges to your death. It's never consistent. All the glitches in TF2 that let players shoot through walls, those are just annoying.

Megaman 9. Enough said.
