The last time was in Oblivion.
I push A to speak to a guy but instead the game decides that I stole some fucking plate and suddenly the whole royal guard is behinde my ass.

same thing happened to me, i don't know how guards with bows shoot that accurately but by the time i got out of the imperial city my character looked like a walking pin-cushion

FU moment 1: i playing this tower defense game called epic war 2, i was on level 13 what happend was i had around 40 wizards and 30 palidans with arrows maxed and castle on level then the enimies wheeled out an angel knight and that just fucked my entire strategy up after 2 super arrows and 4 special attacks i brought it down but the enimies behind it destroyed my castle

FU moment 2: i was playing too human and i just got through killing some dark elves (i was at around 70% health) then an arrow came through an archway just as i was passing under it and it killed me instantly i later found out it was a dark elf leader elite. also fighting hod as a berserker is always tedious

My most recent one, I got Sonic Unleashed on 360 for Christmas and it has the most annoying habit of killing me a few moments from the end of the level so I lose all my points and rings I earned so I end up with a low grade.
I can get through the whole level without dieing then fall down some random hole because I didn't Homing attack or jump from the exact right place.

This has lead to many of a F**k You! moments.

COD: WaW. clearly stabbing an opponent with the bayonet online, we're running around each other in a circle like diabetics fighting over insulen, then I stab him yet again with a knife, then for all my efforts he cuts my adam's apple out as if I never scratched him once. BS.
Then he frollocks off up the hill to get gay with the japanese. . . f**k you!

When I played World of Warcraft, I remember soloing some mobs that happened to be near a ?? elite which patted around. Turns out the bastard had an Area of Effect Damage ability. So lo and behold, a human paladin sees me, aggros the elite, bubbles to become immune to damage, and drags the mob over and the AoE kills me.

Granted it wasn't a game that was the "Fuh Q" moment, but it happened in a game regardless.

I was playing Bully for the first time (demoing it when some Rockstar New England guys came to visit the game lab), and I had just picked up a "Kick Me" sign. The screen said "press A to use sign," but apparently I held it instead of pressing it.

The result was the character slowly reaching out to stick the sign on an administrator's back, then suddenly changing his mind and sucker-punching the admin in the kidneys.

Podunk:
Insta-kill moves in Persona 3. In a game where apparently no other character but your own has the presence of mind to use revival items/spells, enemies being able to wipe you out with a single curse is just messed up.

Or SSBB, for the same reason. Malicious stages in Adventure Mode or whatever it's called is bad enough(the Wind Waker and DK ones) as you have just the one life, but at least you can continue. The final boss in the boss battle challenge having an instant-kill from 0% damage even if you block and virtually impossible to dodge move at hard difficulty or higher is absolute BS. >: (

I second that about the last Brawl boss, Tabuu. His cheap move that does like 132% damage even if you have full health, and that knocks you out of the stage is the cheapest move I've seen. And I had to start Boss Battles over again cause of that move.

Ninja Gaiden (NES). Pidgeons. Stage 6-2. 'Nuff said.

On second thought, there's an even bigger Fuck You moment. In Ninja Gaiden, if you lose all your lives, you continue at the beginning of the area you died in (for example, continuing in Stage 5-2 takes you back to the beginning of Stage 5-2). Or if you continue at a boss, you go back to the area before the boss fight (each boss fight is considered its own seperate area). If you lose one life, you just go back to a checkpoint, as opposed to the beginning of the area.

However, at the end of the game, there are 3 back-to-back boss fights, starting in Stage 6-4. If you die in any of them, you have to go all the way back to 6-1. And by die, I mean lose a life, not continue.

Yes, that means dying once at any of the final boss fights takes you back further than losing all of your lives in the area before the boss fight. Which also means you have to redo the aforementioned Stage 6-2.

- Rainbow Six: Vegas - If you get shot, your vision horribly distorts and it's almost impossible to see for a few seconds, pretty much making death a guarantee.

In the older rainbow six games getting shot in the first place was a guaranteed death.

In Phantasy Star Online ep 1 and 2 when items drop on the floor they are represented by colored boxes, orange for weapon, blue for armor, green for recovery item or red for rare items, including weapons, armor etc. unfortunately, a Photon Drop, which is next to useless unless you can play online (which i, and many many others, can't do), is also represented by a red box. it's infuriating when you have spent ages hunting a rare weapon, a red box drops, you think your hours of trying have paid off only (especial when the drop rate is something like 1/28808) to see 'Photon Drop' come up. the game seems to have this smugness about it because it knows it's just pissed you off.

Well, we've had threads on the most "No Fair" moment, and threads on the most WTF moment. I'm not sure there's a "F**K You" moment that hasn't been covered.

That said, I'd go with the typical MMORPG grind realization as my favorite. :P

In assassins creed in the middle district of acre at the port I went to the viewpoint that is on an island and took the leap of faith down. Only to repeatedly die because the fucker altair doesnt know how to swim and the AI kept fucking throwing me into the goddamn water. At first I was going to stop playing, but then it got to be a personal vendetta. Me vs. the game.

I spent about a half hour trying to get that god damn view point.... It got very personal at one point..

One of my best moments was in Fallout 3. I'd just finished quelling the trouble in Vault 101 on my return trip, and so Amata asks me to leave the vault forever. And that's what shows up as the quest objective: Leave Vault 101 Forever. So I exit the vault, and walk off to the west for some exploring. Out of nowhere, a plasma grenade comes and blows my legs off (The grenade apparently belonged to an Enclave officer. One load later, and I'm leaving Vault 101 again. I go north this time, and get swarmed by raiders with assault rifles in an area with next-to-no cover. I get turned into swiss cheese, and load again. I leave Vault 101 for the third time, and head East. My game crashes.

I didn't realize that's what it meant by "Leave Vault 101 Forever".

I've had three glitched knife stabs in a row on the same person...the knife was clearly on him the entire time the stab animation happened, and it never worked.

Oh, and also the time I knife-slashed someone, it registered a hit, and it DIDN'T KILL HIM.

Any meele attack that doesn't register ranks preaty high on my list.

Anytime I get stuck with a re-... Inexpereinced person on Left 4 Dead.

In Farcry 2, I got to a guard post,die, get revied by friend, and see that the game glitched out on me and registered me as dead so all, and I mean ALL, of the enemys got revied. I just sighed and rushed in and died agian.

Well, I bought PES 2009, and started playing online straight away. No exhibitions. No demo played. WORST MISTAKE EVAR. I was playing against some dude from Tarakabzburgachikistan and everything went well, until I wanted to just run a straight line and then turn left. Dude I was controlling started to do a pirouette and then flipped the ball over himself. WTF. I mean, "trick-stick" is made for that crap, and it turned out it is STILL made for that, but I can use the "Run normally" buttons to do those tricks too. Running 1-on-1 with the GK, and then the player does some retarded trick that I never asked for. THEY ALWAYS FAIL, AND I CAN'T TURN THAT S**T OFF!!! A wise decision by Konami indeed. But I made an even dumber decision for not playing it offline first... But STILL, those controls SUCK.

The final boss battle in Conan takes everything fun about the game and replaces it with a totally different, awful experience. They saw the God of War II final boss, which alternates rounds of straightforward fighting and rounds of dodging obstacles and respawning enemies, then decided not to give you health or magic in between rounds, double the amount of enemies to kill and obstacles to dodge in each section, and then add tar pits that you can be pushed into while blocking enemy attacks.

I died about 30 times on that section, more than I had in the entire game previously. Alternately jumping and ducking is not my idea of Conan-related fun.

Gears of War: Dom

For all the moments in Gears-1 where there were two turrets or what have you, or the squad commands you give out do not matter, for Dom is a a worthless sack of sh*t who stops every three minutes to look at butterflies while you have to do all the work, or force you to get some assistance from a quadruple amputee with down syndrome. And if you ask me, Dom makes that quad-amp, down-syn look like an Olympian.

Seriously; I give out the order to regroup, Dom will run out in the middle of bullet-palooza hoping to get a prize for his attendance.

Another F*** You moment just happened to me, and guess what? Same game(Left 4 dead)! I decided to experiment on expert with just me and three AI partners. In the first chapter everything was going good until we reached the subway entrance that leads to the safe-house. That's when a whole horde of undead came out and swarmed us. While we did manage to kill the horde, Me, Francis, and Zoey had been downed and only Louis was left. He begins to heal and revive me, but the A.I. director, still pissed about me forgetting to sacrifice the Virgin n00bs, spawns a smoker which pulls louis out of sight with his tongue and incapacitates him, resulting in us having to start over. I think Left 4 Dead hates me. :' (

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

My secret was damaging one a little bit, running around in a circle for 5 minutes for my health to go to full, and repeat. Took like an hour.

What? I think you need to check your controls buddy, cause something's definitely wrong if you can't beat the whole thing in one try.

For me, it'd have to be the last Goug watch mission in FFTA2. You can only bring in one guy, and have to kill the enemies with the 'help' of 5 AI teammates. These guys are complete idiots. They never retreat when they should, they don't check enemy reaction abilities (there's one guy in particular who insists on attacking the enemy who can dodge all basic attacks), there's a tinker (for those who don't know, tinkers have abilities that either buff or debuff everyone on either the enemy side or your own) whose attacks keep backfiring...
And the worst part is that if even one of these guys dies, you lose. That doesn't make any sense. The enemy doesn't retreat after they lose one guy. The game doesn't even let you try reviving them. It just says "I guess you failed because the dumbass Tinker poisoned everyone and then they all stood with their backs turned to the strong enemies while they concentrated on the silenced mages", or to put it simpler, "FUCK YOU"
Also, Squenix endbosses are full of cheap shots. Who could possibly thing that it's okay to have a guy who can kill ALL OF YOUR UNITS in ONE HIT unless you spend 30 extra hours grinding and the AI's to stupid to use that move. It's called playtesting, guys. Do it sometime.

Mirror's Edge and fucking collision detection.

Everything about that FUCKING game was a giant FUCK YOU moment. Controller-breaking frustration.

The only real problem section I had in that game was the part in the mall where you have to bust through glass, take out a guard while avoiding machine gun fire, climb up into the ceiling, bust through TWO panes of glass, wallrun, grab a pipe, swing from it to a suspended metal structure, and run to your freedom.

Did I mention that the two panes of glass you have to bust through are FACING the machine gun guy? That's right. You have to run TOWARD the guy with the uberdeath gun AND pull off stunts quickly and accurately to escape the level.

I must've tried that four dozen times the first play through... after that, though, it got a lot easier...
