Most epic fail gaming moment?
 
Delete if there is already a thread like this xP

Yeah, basically post any stupid moments you've had here.

My most epic fail moment was just now XD

Final Fantasy VII: Cloud was about to use Aqualung (A reasonably strong attack which takes about 1.2k or so HP at times) on this one enemy and the enemy used a confuse attack which confused him obviously - So he ended up using Aqualung on THE PARTY which killed Aerith and Vincent and left Cloud with very little HP left. I tried to run away but then Cloud decided to attack himself -.-. Game over for me xP So now I'm back down one level on my level grinding mission XD;

So post your epic fails here XD

I was playing Call of Duty Nazi Zombies on the Shi No Numa map. I wanted to make a crawler so I threw a grenade. Stupidly I threw it to far so it went passed the zombie. I went to run around the zombie to try again but got to close to the grenade and blew myself up giving me game over... I did it two times.

Wolf in the Rain August 16th, 2009 7:38 AM

WHY DO GRENADES ALWAYS TAKE PART IN FAILS!? -.-'

I was playing Halo 3 online multiplayer on the Pit and went to go stick someone with a Grenade. The Grenade missed the player, bounced off a wall, hit my friend in the face and blocked his vision. From there, he accidentally ran into the explosive barrels and exploded. The barrels rocketed a cone towards me, which hit me in the face and killed me. >.<'

Eruption August 16th, 2009 7:46 AM

Probably GTA IV when I ran into a wall on a motorbike at full speed next to a hobo, the wall flicked the hobo up (I was on low health at this point obviously) and the hobo landed on me and I died.

Then the two times on platinum were in my eagerness to play I forgot to heal my pokemon and get whacked by a fairly average trainer, I honestly don't know how I forget, I never had the problem in diamond.

And also probably CoD4 when I died on the last bit were you shoot Zakhaev, HOW!?!?!

Graceful August 16th, 2009 9:05 AM

Hm...FFVII : DoC
I was in this battle. I didn't know what to do so I randomly pressed buttons and then Vincent randomly attacked his-self and had half of his HP down......an then, guess what? I died!
FFVI:
I didn't even attack. I just kept watching Locke and Sabian's HP and Terra died and the same happened with Locke,Edgar and Sabian. GAME OVER

.little monster August 16th, 2009 9:11 AM

I was playing Americas Army 3 and all of a sudden the server froze, when it unfroze my entire team had no weapons while the other team did, so we were massacred. >: Fail.

alisaie August 16th, 2009 9:38 AM

Ahhh. I've had plenty of Epic Fails. xD One of the ones that I remember quite clearly though is when I was playing Tales of the Abyss. I went and tried to fight Nebilim on Very Hard, and she knocked out my whole party within ten second of the battle with Mystic Cage and killing us off afterwards. xD;

Frequency August 16th, 2009 10:20 AM

Uh...too many to list.

Perhaps the worst was when I was playing Persona 3, and I tried to beat the Reaper. Needless to say, he took me out in 1 hit. And I was level 88. Never underestimated that bastard again....

Eucliffe August 16th, 2009 10:22 AM

Hmm... I know I've had plenty...

...

...

In plenty of the Touhou games I've played, I've sometimes mistook danmaku to be either the power up or point blocks XD And in any Touhou game (except for Touhou 3 and Touhou 9, and the fighter ones), if you touch danmaku in a certain place (oh, wow, that doesn't sound right), you lose one life. Period.

Camisado August 16th, 2009 10:25 AM

I do this fairly often in Pokémon - for some reason my mind sometimes interprets healing at a Pokémon Center the same thing as saving the game. I have turned off after healing so many times without saving. ;_;

Wulf August 16th, 2009 11:30 AM

Hey, Medic, Uber me. Thanks...oops, ate my Sandvich, crap, I'm out of ammo.

.Seth August 16th, 2009 11:35 AM

Ever get smacked by a flying mongoose (the ATV thing) in Halo 3 you threw a frag grenade at? :3

mew² August 16th, 2009 11:40 AM

Running from the cops on GTA VCS.

I hit a jump on a 600 and landed a double back flip, then a tank hit me -.-

Rokusasu August 17th, 2009 6:17 AM

Homg. That light cycle minigame in Tron's world in KH2. I'm the fail master of that. D;

I just got owned in P4 too. ;-; Stupid Teddie and his weaknesses.

kohei August 17th, 2009 6:21 AM

Rushing into a room that was occupied by 4 Terrorists.

I could hear more than 3 shuffling inside the moment I charged in alone, and I should've stopped pressing my "W" key by then.

Too late.

Arc August 17th, 2009 8:50 PM

my epic fail moment has to be on Team Fortress 2,

I was playing a Heavy, and I wanted to go Rambo on the enemy but when I started firing at them I ran out of bullets 5 seconds later....=\

sanny the hedgehog August 17th, 2009 8:54 PM

wow did i look stupid at a brawl tourney
i was playing as toon link and was winnning damage wise.
and my opponent and i had 1 life left and then i was about to metor smash him
and well i missed and so many people were watching and you can imagine how much that sucked!!

Wings Don't Cry August 17th, 2009 10:44 PM

Why'd you bother training Aeris, she ain't gonna be available much longer. The only good part about her is that she has the strongest Limit Break in the game but you're probably gonna lose her before you get it.

Mine is definitely Pokemon Silver(J), testing what everything does, releases Typhlosion(My only Pokemon above level 30). -_-

Giratina55 August 18th, 2009 1:28 PM

Hah, probly my epic fail moment was in battlefield bad company.
I was in the best tank, i see a helecopter, good as new (and i love flying helecopters) i shoot the tank at it, it blows up, then i get out and find i just blew it up. (and i was slightly tired) then, i get back in the tank, ignoring the bad guy standing infront of me puting a charge on the tank, i get in, it blows up, and i fly a mile. Afterwards i was laughing my butt off.

{NM}Redwolf August 18th, 2009 5:43 PM

definately cod 5 on the wii. threw a grenade at the back of the bunker on cliffside missed the back hole only to have it come back at me and blow up in my face or when i threw a grenade at some random dude only to have it hit a pole and come back at me.....again....

Gymnotide August 18th, 2009 9:42 PM

I turned on GTA and started playing.

Stellar August 19th, 2009 1:22 AM

This has happened to me and my friends quite a few times, but I doubt anyone would find it funny unless they've played Tales of Symphonia.

In the extra dungeon, Niflheim, there's these torches you can light for extra items. But every time you enter, there's one torch that gives you the option of exiting the dungeon. And once you leave, you have to start all over.

Anyway, me being the idiot that I am, would light the torches too fast to be able to see what it was offering me. And more often than not, we'd end up leaving the dungeon right before we'd complete it. ._.

Asztrik August 20th, 2009 8:23 AM

In persona 4 I was fighting shadow Mitsuo, and I was almost done. I switched my MC's persona to one that can heal, then the boss used an attack that was strong against the persona I chose. After thirty minutes of fighting that bastard I died...

SquirtleGirl August 20th, 2009 10:04 AM

Mine are mostly pokémon epic fails.... I sometimes turn it off before it's finished saving >.<
Also in double battles I somehow end up atacking my companion pokémon instead of the foe... which is an epic fail if you're battling Tate and Liza when they were hard to defeat and you'd spent the last 45 mins trying to take them down ;_;

fango pango August 20th, 2009 11:22 AM

in conkers bad fur day
i was at the end...i saw the ending...it froze...i turned it off and cried cos i got so close...then i went on the internet after i saw it freeze many times and found out it was supposed to freeze :cer_pissed:

mega-dark August 20th, 2009 11:41 AM

I wouldn't call it a EPIC fail but a fail never the less. In Blazblue, NEVER if you are using Ragna NEVER use "Carnage Scissors" on a Tager, or else you will feel the power of a "GAIGANTIC TAGER BUSTER!"

Silhouette August 20th, 2009 3:16 PM

On Mario Kart Wii, I was racing at DS Yoshi Falls (or whatever it's called), and I cut a corner too short. I bottomed out on the ledge, and couldn't move until someone hit me with a red shell. I never used a kart afterward. =/

Dunsparce August 20th, 2009 3:56 PM

Age 11. Playing Final Fantasy Legend 2 for Game Boy/Game Boy Pocket with a team of 4 Monsters. I reach a Major Boss, named Venus, and none of my Attacks Connected. Come to find out, she is immune to 99% of all Monster Skills, and the ones that do work on her are too weak to be useful. I had to start a new game and Choose a Robot to win. ;-;

The worst part is, the Instruction manual said that a team of four Monsters was one of the worst Team combinations in the game, but I thought that I could prove it wrong.

Missingno.7-4468 August 20th, 2009 5:15 PM

Many a time in both Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 I saw a grenade come at me and forgot to move. I tend to do that for some reason.

Cloche August 20th, 2009 5:26 PM

The first time I EVER picked up an xbox 360 controller... and played Halo 3.... I accidentally threw a Plasma Grenade , it hit the wall, and stuck to me. -__-

Miz en Scène August 20th, 2009 6:07 PM

I was playing GTA San Andreas and generally blowing up cars. I blew up this one car and was too close but miraculously I survived with very little HP. I started to walk away when suddenly the car door from the blown up car fell on me from the sky and killed me. How this happened I don't know because I didn't think it was possible.

Firebird306 August 31st, 2009 11:49 PM

Super Smash Bros Brawl: I was facing Tabuu on Intense and was holding a trophy stand, Tabuu would've been 'trophy-fied' if I hit him with it. He decided to cast his OHKO Off Waves, I timed the last one wrong and died. I just stared in disbelief and turned it off. One throw away from obtaining Tabuu's trophy on INTENSE. Epic failure...

Daydream September 1st, 2009 10:21 AM

My most major Pokemon fail was not realising you can go under the bridge on the path to Maulville. I got so mad, I restarted the game as a girl. I got to the same point and was so annoyed that I thought it would be a good idea to hit my GBA SP: I ended up knocking the button that sent me under the bridge. >.<

On Mario Kart Wii, I have a fail that keeps on happening, I use the mushrooms and speed off the edges of cliffs. |:

.Busou Kihaku. September 1st, 2009 11:56 AM

It was me and another seriously uber DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi III player (knew him trough a friend)
I was powning him he had only 1 healthbar left while i had 4 of them he went max power and thoroughly beat the living crap out of my character, never again will i understimate that Burter. Srsly.

Shadow-Lugia September 4th, 2009 5:32 PM

About 1000 times on territory war onlne ive tried to pull of a 1hko with the rocket launcher, but missied by a PIXEL and blasted the haed of the teammate right infront of me... :*(

Zech September 6th, 2009 9:32 AM

if we count FSX as game now, I always do epic fail when landing :)

WolfWrath September 6th, 2009 8:30 PM

I have a couple of these:


While playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (the boss mode thing when you have to face all the bosses) It was the biolizard fight, the second to last hit and I had all the rings collected, then when I was about to it him, I accidentally hit backward on my controller and fall into the water and die........


On Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, I was in the temple place with the monkeys. I couldn't figure out how to move that giant rock for 3 days, then I threw a bomb guy at it and it exploded. If only I've done that sooner.

Ugh, I had the same problem. I wandered that temple for hours trying to figure it out. >_>

My most epic fail is probably one of my many moments where my brain is working further than my body and I just walk right into a dangerous spike or enemy and die horribly. Rage ensues.

Donnie September 18th, 2009 5:31 PM

I was playing Shadow of the Colossus, doing the time attack mode for Phalanx.. I lost the challenge by 11 milliseconds

The Jewel of Life September 18th, 2009 10:51 PM

I was playing Spore- Galactic Adventures, what happened was I played a user-made adventure and had to travel all the way around to the other side of the planet just so I could talk to some random creature. Then, I turned to complete the next act, stepped on a bomb, and died. CURSE THAT HORRIBLE, OVERLY-LONG ADVENTURE!!

Graceful September 21st, 2009 9:04 AM

....And whenever I play tetris. XD True Story. I always fill up the screen with colored boxes! XDDD

.Wolfie-kun. September 21st, 2009 9:19 AM

I tend to get distracted by the epic Tetris theme music XD

Cello September 24th, 2009 6:15 AM

Oh wow I can't believe I haven't posted this yet.

GTA IV
I spawned a motorcycle, got on it, went down a one way street so fast that I actually beat the area rendering and went straight through a bridge I was riding over.

I cannot get it to happen again!

That and if you make Nico jump against a long rail fence against a building he'll start acting like he's falling.

Late September 24th, 2009 6:23 AM

DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Wii). I always use those self-destructing moves by an accident, because I haven't played it much yet and haven't even tested every character. What is this move? Oh, I have only 1 health left, one kick, dead...

Drawicia September 27th, 2009 7:27 AM

on super smash bros. brawl i decided to do a 1-on-3 brawl, me being the one. I was Jigglypuff and the three CPUs were all Kirby with only fans as the items.

back then i didn't know that if Jigglypuff's shield breaks she shoots to the top of the screen and dies.... this happened 4 times in that brawl....:surprised:

Fenrir Reki September 27th, 2009 8:17 AM

Theres a few but ill name some:

Halo 3: I was playing with a couple of friends in a longshore infection match and we were trying to take a stand in a corner. We had trip mines in front of the entrances and someone driving around outside in a ghost killing the zombies. But someone threw a plasma grenade outside and it just happened to get stuck on the ghost my and he drove it inside exploding and setting off all the trip mines and we all died. As soon as we spawned we all got killed by the zombies.

Gears of War 2: I was playing on grind yard in horde wave 50 and my team was doing great until somehow almost all of us died and only two people were left. One person got down and the other person tried to save them but a boomer blew him up and the last guy almost died from the explosion so he ran off and killed all of the horde except for one. He decided to plant frag mines inside the room he was in and he stupidly stood right next to the wall where he planted it. A few seconds later, a cyclops came in from the back door, chainsawed him and exploded.

Subsuck September 27th, 2009 11:44 AM

I was making a stunt drive jump on GTA 4 but then i accidenticly pressesd the button where you jump out of the car. I then saw Niko fall to his doom in slow motion lol :P

Luck September 27th, 2009 11:51 AM

I was playing Final Fantasy 6 using Setzers' slots command, and he just so happened to use the slot combination that automatically kills your whole party.
It wasn't even at a strong enemy; it was just at that weird Io in Cyans' dream sequence.

DarknessSneasel September 27th, 2009 12:26 PM

on world of warcraft is was at the top at wymrest temple and needed to get ready for a raid. So I mounted up on my 'flying' mount and get down. Run off the edge so my flying lion thing (yeah we have flying lions :p) and suddenly go wtf im falling. I used my ground mount instead and now was falling. This is why i envy druids able to transform into there flight form in mid air. Fell to my death.
Pok'emon Xd: using my Regirocks explosion on a gengar.
Halo 3: Throwing a plasma grendade on my foot then runnig in panic near my team mates.

Guillermo September 27th, 2009 6:25 PM

When I was playing Bioshock I was wandering around on a level for 35 minutes trying to find the Incinerate plasmid when I passed it like 15 times. :[

-NEXON October 1st, 2009 12:09 AM

Combat Arms.

I was playing a Clan War. Elimination. 100 Kills. It was 99:99 when I threw a grenade at a guy who was AFK. I accidentally threw the grenade at the pole in front of me, it bounced back and killed me.

99:100.

>D

♣Gawain♣ October 3rd, 2009 4:58 AM

I was playing Cod4, with my golden M60E4, being proud and all, when a blown up car killed me. I later found out that my grenade bounded back to a nearby car and blow me up. Epic. lolz

XD

Oblivion Reaper 2.0 October 3rd, 2009 2:11 PM

My most Epic was when I fought my friend in brawl. He threw a shell at me but I blocked but it still killed me

Shadow-Lugia October 6th, 2009 3:54 PM

I've got another one, I was playing (and heavily cheating) on metroid: zero mission.
I destroyed mother brain with all shots are super missiles, ran away flew off got LAZOR'd crashed and spawned, not as zss like your are ment to, but as power suit samus, with only the long beam, none of the items you need to get through, no morph ball where zss crawls, no power grip where zss is ight enough to do it anyway, nothing.
I then went through without cheating and realized that i didn't suck as bad as i thought at metroid. (facepalm)

Jazmine Marie October 6th, 2009 4:24 PM

I was playing Star Wars: Battlefront II one day after swim practice, going through a Conquest game on Kamino, and controlling a CIS Assassin Droid. I had my droid crouching down on a walkway overlooking a lot of Republic Clones, getting head shot after head shot. I was doing so well until I turned to the right to take out a Clone that was shooting at me with a turret. I lined him up in my sight and fired. Unluckily for me, my aim wasn't all that great, so my shot clipped the small ledge in front of my and bounced back towards me.

I died.

Another one is that I can't get past the first level on Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360. *cries*

PKFL_531 October 6th, 2009 7:23 PM

In Mother 3, I spoke to Ionia.

That's the worst moment I've ever experienced. All Earthbound fans know what I'm talking about... The screen went dark, we were in a hot spring, and there was a textbox that continually said "(Ionia) Just endure it!" And then, when the screen came back to normal, Lucas' head was ducked underwater and he went up gasping for air.

.Fenris October 7th, 2009 7:59 PM

Got bored and decided to do a BattleField all-nighter,

Bad Company, Gold Rush, Attacker...

I throw a grenade, trying to scare snipers out of a building, some random person on my team storms right in front of the nade, it bounces off of my teammate, lands in front of me RIGHT before it detonates and kills me. X(

1942 with FH, Allies, Saipan...

I spawn at the now captured Japanese main base, someone picks up a kamikaze kit and asks "What is this for?", he charges toward me and some teammates who wanted to see what it did, I shoot the kamikazing marine dead, someone ELSE goes and retrieves it, and blows me and 3 others up...

Some questions should NEVER be answered... >.<

Ranken October 12th, 2009 5:28 AM

I got lost in a game SSBB with a 6 year old.

Autistic Lucario October 12th, 2009 6:19 AM

I was playing Thief: The Dark Project, which is a stealth game. I was walking down a broken staircase in a haunted cathedral. Garrett glitched out and got stuck in a crack. A few seconds later, he died. It sounded like he took falling damage.

Aloha October 13th, 2009 2:43 PM

I was playing Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode with three other friends. We were trying to get the achievement Vidmaster Challenge: Endure
(In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op). For the first couple of waves, we lost 5 of 7 team shared lives. We gathered ourselves gaining up to 29 lives in the waves to come. After Fending off waves of Covenant for over 3 hours on our one and only playthrough, we got passed the 4th set. All we needed to do was go through the 4th set's bonus round and the achievement would be ours. The bonus round starts and ten seconds later the most unbelievable thing happens. The screen go blank for about 2-5 seconds and we were all brought back to the lobby for no reason. We were like "WTF just happened?!", "No (explitive) way!". Haha damn major fail moment.

Zeikku_Sidewinder October 13th, 2009 3:41 PM

This is not actually a fail. without being big headed I don't think I've failed that bad at a game however.

A few weeks ago I decided to try and beat dead space on impossible mode, to get my platinum trophy (I have ps3)... I beat the game and didn't get the achievement.
I DIDN'T EVEN CHEAT!
Not to mention I came across a weird glitch where another engineer appeared and blocked my path after hammond died...Took an hour to figure out a way to get past him!

I had to replay the whole game mode from the start, it took about 5 hours I rushed and literally ran through levels and I got my 4th platinum trophy.

Yuoaman October 13th, 2009 5:32 PM

This just happened over the last 30 minutes lol

In WoTMUD I was helping someone EXP, and was bringing them over from Tear to Illian, however on the way we ran into a lion... and then another... and before I knew it, I was dead. Meaning that I had to depend on someone five levels lower than me to guard my corpse while I ran through the forest naked.

peach girl October 15th, 2009 10:02 AM

Hmm.. Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider: Underworld were both a long series of epic failitude for me... Fell to my death many a time (but i did beat them eventually). =/ Um, and I also can't seem to pilot vehicles in space...Star Wars Battlefront II proved that to me. I always get lost and go too far out of bounds; then i get exploded. ='(

edit: Also, when I played through Eternal Poison on ps2 the first time, I stayed up half the night trying to get to the end, only to find.....there is no ending until you go through it the SECOND time. I almost cried.
