    We had threads about great experiences, and now we have one about experiences with games which went totally wrong!

    So what were your worst gaming experiences? Why were they so bad? Do you think it could be different if you did something else in that game?

    Discuss :3
     
    Well my most recent one was with UFC Undisputed 3. I've never been a huge sports fan and especially not of the video game sort. I do however watch UFC sometimes and my friends were really getting into the game so I thought I'd give it a try. Biggest mistake ever. There wasn't a used copy at GameStop so I paid $60 for a new one which I very rarely do, only for my absolute favorite games. I started playing and sucked. I continued playing and sucked some more. Unlike Tekken or Injustice (great game), this is realistic fighting, and how do you simulate that in a video game? By having every single button on the controller do something important that needs to be memorized. Even basic attacks use a few buttons and unlike most games where memorizing strings of button presses did cool combos, this game needs you to do that just to play regularly and win. It was a huge pain and I wasn't having any fun. I tried to take it back later, but the store doesn't buy used games. So I took it to GameStop and they gave me about $40 for it. Hey look now they have a used copy! Basically I paid money to get beat up.
     
    Probably Metal Gear Solid 4. I don't know why, but I just could not get past one of the beginning parts, no matter how many times I tried. I even looked up walkthroughs and none of them helped. I was also atrocious at Deadspace, so that was pretty bad as well. I'm not a very good gamer xD
     
    I just bought Need for Speed: Underground, and I was playing through the story mode. I was doing a drag race, and I didn't know how to shift properly ;_; I hated it cos I couldn't move on until I got it done with u_u

    So...I spent every drag race, blowing my engine cos I couldn't shift ;~;. Curse my young self....my brother then suggested I read the manual and practice. :)

    Oh god those were terrible. I tried to avoid them as much as possible in U2, but in U1 you had to do them xD
     
    Hmm... I honestly can't think of anything that was particularly bad gaming experience...
     
    My worst of all worse gaming experiences happened on Borderlands 1. When i first met Crawmerax the invincible, he smashed me instantly off the map killing me instantly. The next attempt he did the same thing and it happened for 10 tried before i just gave up out of frustration.
     
    In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 for the PS2 I was playing against my brother. Our W/L ratio against each other was pretty even, although I had roughly 3-4 more wins than him. He didn't like that, so when I left to get some water, my brother decided to put the handicap bar in his favour. This led to me losing the next 20 or so matches against him, but with the power of spamming CM2 Kidomaru's bow, I managed to beat him once.

    When I found out what he had did, I was both relieved by the fact that I didn't suck, and angered that I spent all that time fighting a bunch of unfair battles.
     
    MAG. By far the worst game I've ever played. I saw 250 online shooting multipalyer game and was like "woah dude totally getting; it wasn't what I expected at all. The game was a hell of a lot slower paced than I anticipated ad was really boring tbh. I was young and naive.
