Wait...what?!

He's talking about Cait Sith's breaking limit.
Platformers. I love platformers. Indie platformers, Nintendo platformers, and PS2 platformers in particular.
I also hate them with a burning passion. I only bother to finish them if they are overwhelmingly awesome (otherwise, too much rage to continue on), and 100% them if they happen to be both awesome and relatively painless (Kirby in a nutshell).

I spent a whole day of tries just to get to beat one of them... and then I realized you have to fight a more difficult version of one of the two xD. At that moment I simply let myself die and started over the next day. Even tough that part was certainly maddening I actually enjoyed the challenge of the fight and after I finished the boss fight I felt an incredible joy  |
One of the greatest gaming moments ever for me this.
*like*
So I got Oblivion, super excited to play it. Started out normal enough, never having played and ES game before. I was having a good time doing some quests and just going on my merry way. I was running from city to city trying to look for new quests to make up enough money so i could buy a horse to make the traveling easier. Well this is about 8-10 hours into the game that I'm just going around saving money and WALKING back and forth between towns to try and get a horse.
Well eventually I saved up enough money and bought myself a gosh-darned horse! I felt like my labor was gonna pay off now that I can travel more effectively. Well after I bought my horse i was doing a quest that I needed to steal something, silly me I went and got caught. So I got captured by the guards and thrown in jail. I decided to wait it out and all of a sudden I had freedom and I was ready to rock and roll! I spot what looks like my horse and jump on to go for a ride. The guards didn't take too kindly to this behavior and chased after me because I guess I must have stolen one of their horses!
The guards then end up killing me, I already had nothing and was super pissed because I would have to start from scratch to buy another f'in horse, however, during the load time after I died the game conveniently decides to tell me I can FAST TRAVEL between cities I've been to.. I threw the controller down and returned the game that day. 10 hours wasted walking and trying to buy a horse so I can go places faster.. all wasted.
The last boss in Heavenly Sword!
I Couldn't beat that bastard for nothing.
..traded that son of a bitch right back in to Gamestop

One of my runner ups is this asshole, from Final Fantasy Tactics. Now, Tactics is not a particularly difficult game. In fact, its mechanics let you completely break the game early in the first chapter. Even if you don't deliberately try to break it, the game automatically hands you Orlandu in the fourth chapter, after which point there remains no pretense of challenge.
Velius exists to punish you for not breaking the game.
The first time through the game, when you probably haven't mastered the mechanics well enough to break them yet (and why would you; it's not otherwise a hard game!), you'll stumble cluelessly into this fight, and it won't be pretty. Hope Ramza's a fighter class, or else the duel with Weigraf is going to end real quick. Hope you used the duel to power up Ramza, or else the fight's going to end fairly quick. Hope your teammates can survive two consecutive hits from Summons and ranged demon attacks, or else the fight's going to end super quick. For added funsies, you were probably stupid enough to save right before this battle, huh? Well tough, cause now you can't grind or restock items without winning this battle (and the luck-based battle after it, for that matter).
So there are two of my "screw this game" moments. What are some of yours?

I was chatting with one of the mods about this very exact fight. I did save like a fool right before that fight, I must have retried it 7-8 times thinking I was going to have to restart my game all over. I managed to win it with some tweaking and some blind luck but damn that was a nasty fight.
As for a moment, I really said "Screw this game", it would be with Skyrim. I made a mage and played the game for about 20 hours. I finally got myself some second tier spells and thought I'd finally have some firepower. Then I tried them out and all they did was drain my mana faster without any real bonus to my killing power. That's when I realized the combat wouldn't get any better and stopped playing the game.
Runner up: King Ing in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Couldn't beat that son of a bitch.
Signature goes here!

RolStoppable said: I knew how your story would end after the first few sentences. I never played Oblivion or any TES game, but I've come across Morrowind fans that complained about fast travel making Oblivion less epic or something like that. |
It really did. I felt like I was working for something and still having a good time playing the game. That was completely ruined when I realized I could fast travel and just get the quests done that way. I figured there was a way to fast travel but maybe it was like a spell or something (Only RPG i played before this game was Runescape..) I felt like all the hard work went right out the window!
Skyrim - After 15 hours of aimlessly wondering around and after like 20 something cave/dungeons and a horrendously disappointing dragon fight, I deleted that shit in 5 minutes.
The Legend of Zelda: A link in Time - After about 30 minutes, I realized that Zelda games were not RPGs, I stopped, got up and walked away from Zelda games...forever.
