not catching a fish in animal crossing, my god, i get paranoid
/quote]

i agree with you on that one, once i was quite happily selling the contents of my orchard in the rain, on my way past the sea i see a giant shadow of a fish with a fin, realizing my luck i ran over to it and attemted to catch it, after 10 minutes of it turning away from all of my perfectly placed baits it finally latched on and bit it, so here i am reactions of a fighter pilot when it comes to fish on animal crossing sitting waiting for the magic PLOP noise, but then whats this i see 2 animals having a conversation, having never seen this before i sit there watching them then comes the PLOP and my finger twitches instingtivly and i stand up and shout YES after finally catching a shark, i then look down and see i caught a BOOT a fucking BOOT to this day i never played AC for the 'GC again

the fifth boss battle in no more heroes...such a seemingly explosive encounter and you beat him....by watching the cutscene. I wish I was kidding.
Devil May cry 3 on pc. The controls where spelling F*** you...
Devil May Cry 4 on pc...going trough all levels twice.
Mass Effect: cause the great graphics were undermined by awfull gameplay.

Ohh I got the best on this one.
Dark Reign: The Future of War. Last mission took my friend something like 40 hours game time, one fucking mission. Apparently a patch was released later because the company thought it was impossible to beat it. Nope, just takes 40 hours.
When he finished it, you basically get some swirly graphics, screen-saver stuff, then a wall of text and a game over line.
I had to hold him back from killing my PC.

There is already a thread for this.

Not sure if anyone has said this but...
Left 4 Dead, No Mercy finale, tank.
All i can say is it's a long way to the ground

aww yeah, that was awful, but the 4th fight makes up for it, it was my favourite fight in the game

kid kool on the nes. i would jump and hit an invisible money bag causing me to fall to my doom. it was like a smb hack designed to piss you off. of course i have millions of fuck you moments but one i note in particularly is the one where i played ssbb, and they changed the entire physics of the game to add sonic. that really pissed me off. but that isnt a glitch, it was just bad game development.

A little late to be moaning after 13 pages.

The new Prince of Persia

Accidently killing my dog in Fallout 3 and forgetting to save it for a while so I had to chose between re-playing 2 hours of content or losing my only freind.(I turned auto saves off for soem idiotic reason) So i re-loaded it only for him to get face palnted by a Sledge hammer wielding Super Mutant. I grew tired of re-loading and told it to wait at Vault 101.

Brothers in arms: Hell's highway
When you're stuck on that same BASTARD mission destroying 2 88's, and you hide behind some cover, but oh wait, the 88 has seen you, blows your cover up and leaves you with enough health for a German to spit on you to die. The German then spits on you.
3 straight days of that happening non stop because all the cover was explodable, I had to frequently play with crossed fingers.

or CoD:WaW when you can be running along, all of a sudden, 1 bullet dead from a hidden jap
or when the jap kills you when you're in the dark. Oh and when you're killed by a grenade that doesn't show up. That gets right on my tits.

Playing Civilization III and seeing 5 of my tanks die by the hand of a spearman.

Playing Civilization IV and watching a Cavalry unit die from an Archer unit.

Playing Civilization 4 and watching a Panzer get killed by a guy in a loincloth with an axe -_-'

Hmm......this happened to a friend of mine.
Anyways, L4D.

I know it's a dick move, but someone mentioned the hospital.

If you're a smoker, you can yank someone off the ladder across the roof to an instant death by standing on the opposite tower.

When you think about it, it is nice that you can actually lynch someone with the Smoker's tongue. Would a real person survive if they had a rope(tongue) tied around their neck and then pulled off a building to have the rope(tongue) snap tight and snap their neck? Sure they could, but it would be rare. Besides, it is fun to do that to the opposition, especially when they were zombies and decided to punch a forklift in front of a door, and later on blocked the exit to the elevator.

Life's a b***h and then you switch sides and snap some necks.

Whenever my tower/bridge/phallic shaped building gets quite high and then falls over in World of Goo. Sometimes I absolutely hate this game, but then after I simmer for an hour I love it again, lol.

Fallout 3, walking along in old olney, low health, low stimpacks, low ammo, and falling into the sewer area for the first time.

Luckily, I had Fawkes.

Fallout 3. I was going to get the communications dish from the lunar landing in the Museum of Technology. I fought my way through super mutants, got the dish and started to head to the exit. Super mutants had returned. I had broken armor, a 10mm submachine gun and about 50 rounds and 1 stimpack.

The more recent Pro Evolution Soccer games have a good handle on this. You could be quite comfortably dominating your opposition, but at some point every so often, regardless of score, the computer decides that it wants a goal. And you will not stop if from getting this goal as it will essentially stop your use of the pressure button so that no matter how hard you press your players will ALWAYS stand off whoever has the ball. On top of this their players will gain superhuman passing ability and speed, any tackle you manage to make will result in the ball rolling straight to a CPU player, rolling out for a corner which is then scored or result in a free kick which is then scored. And if your keeper manages to save a shot during this little CPU period, it will be parried straight to their only other player in the box rather than your 4 defenders.

In other words, when PES wants to score, you may as well put down the controller and let it because it ain't gonna stop fucking you til it gets its way.

hmmm
not QUITE a fuck you moment...in a game per say
but
playing fallout 3 for the first time ever, got out the vault, literally took 2 steps and then BAM, broken PS3 disc drive, no more games over christmas (I got 6)...
so yeah, sorta "fuck you...sideways"

Actually I think that "Mega man 9" is a perfect explaination all on its own. That game was a fuck you fest

True this doesn't make the game any less fun (I personally love megaman 9) but I came close many times to being a "wii remote into tv" statistic. When you press jump you expect to jump!

Mario Kart knows when you are winning. It knows it and it does not like it.

In Goldeneye 007, the level after the statue park when you and Natayla have been captured and you have to try and navigate the veritable fortress while being swarmed with guards and then Natayla walks in front of your gun and you can't help but say, "Well fuck you too."

I HATE it when that happens. I was told it was a glitch in the game. Me, my friend MC Disease (the like, plague or virus thing, not sure how to spell it) and two others ended up holding our own trapped in the elevator for about 45 minutes before we finally said "Fuck it" and started killing each other. xD

The first F.E.A.R.: it's chapter...8? Anyway, after you're going through an old hotel, you open a set of double doors, truck crashes in with 4 guys however there's a rocket launching ****er outside who annihilates when you so much as poke your head out and he takes quite a bullets to down too. Man that was frustrating.

This time in the game Overlord when I was supposed to retrieve the Blue Minion hive. Now, I'd also spotted a giant bag 'o gold, and what kind of evil Overlord would I be if I didn't grab every bit of currency I could track dow? So, Ihad both of those things coming towards the portal, when they got right next to each other, froze, and refused to budge, no matter what I did! When I realized I'd have to restart the whole level, I just said, "NO. Fuck you, Overlord, and your retarded Minion BULLSHIIIITTTT." I still love the game, but it's now a "love-hate" one.

My vote goes to level 6-2 of Ninja Gaiden on the NES. I guess it's a testament to how good that game is that even though it drives me crazy, I still keep coming back to it. I love Ninja Gaiden, but Ninja Gaiden hates me. It hates you too.

world at war on veteran mode....

the first russian level where you have to kill the other sniper... o god the pain

oh yeah, i forgot. any final fantasy game where anytime i use a down to revive someone. the mob targets and kills them before i can have a cure on them...

Kaine & Lynch: that beautiful little scenario when you have to stop a giant tractor from running over a girl in the ditch. But since you obviously know how to do exactly everything right from the start, you just want to watch the same 2 minute cutscene followed by said scenario over, and over and over again.
