Worst Video Game Experiences?

    So on any video game, what sort of experiences from them did you had a really rough or basically, an unenjoyable time from them? Why did you not like that experiences?

    ie. I disliked the game play from some of the worst video games of all time imo (ie Superman 64).
     
    I really dislike the mini-game Probes vs Zealot in StarCraft 2. Basically you get vote-kicked instantly if you are new or make one little mistake. Playing with friends makes it fun, but with random people.. prepare to get vote-kicked...
     
    Tales of Graces f. After 1 hour of slowly damaging a boss with a giant life bar, she goes and kills me in a single hit when I'm less tan 5% away from killing her. Apparently the only way to counter her attack was looking up in gamefaqs for a 20-button combination. Okay.
     
    Super Street Fighter 4. It was just ridiculously hard, even on Very Easy, I hate Zangief and Seth.
    Is it your first SF game? I can't really imagine anyone else finding it hard on very easy otherwise. Looks like the mechanics and controls are what's hard for you, not the game itself.

    Although, most of my worst experiences come from fighting games. Online. It's either the turtlers in SF4 (I use Bison so they're even worse), Zero/Doom/Vergil teams in UMvC3, Law players in Tekken, etc It's not that I can't beat them, but they're very unpleasant.

    Oh, Brawl has those taunt matches that really ruined online for me aside from the BIG lag.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, RPGs typically got these moments too. Persona 3 and Tartarus in particular ruined the whole game for me. Persona 4 is waaaaaaay better and it has random generated dungeons. :/

    Tartarus is basically the moments when you're finally near to finish crawling through the boring slog of a dungeon for the day only for your bastard AI buddies to be stupid and get you to die so you can do it all over again. Every time. YAY

    Far from it.

    You shouldn't assume how people find games in terms of difficulty based on unfounded speculation. (IE. The possibility of it being my first SF game)

    Can you really say people who used Sagat only during EVO Tournies is not a bad game? Top lel.

    But when you say it's way too hard on very easy it shouldn't be difficult to imagine why someone would think think you're new to the series. The AI gives you the win on very easy...

    What? You know nothing. Sagat wasn't even in the top 8 last evo. Actually, iirc, not even top 16.

    Well no need to "imagine" any further. I've clarified that SSF4 is not my first Street Fighter.

    More vague and unfounded assumptions. Charming. :3

    And now you need to clarify your attitude. All I did was assume you're new to the series because you had trouble on very easy, and felt like telling you that you're just not accustomed to the mechanics if so. Why this unpleasant over something so trivial?

    Check my edited post. You know nothing.
    Sagat was not in the top 16 last EVO. In fact, Sagat has not shown any significant tournament results in a while.
    You clearly don't watch tournaments, but you go ahead and say something ignorant like that and then say I'm the one making the unfounded assumptions?
     
    New Super Mario Bros 2. The most "meh" main Mario game I've ever played. I never even finished it because of how boring and uninspired all the levels were. I really hated the crazy coin collecting and coin rush features. Just not a fun experience.

    I don't have to clarify any type of response I give to you and If I'm not mistaken you're the one who brought up this whole thing by making claims and assumption. You continuing this escapade is only trivial because of you. I made my point, you're the one who's dragging on about it.

    I'm not talking AE. I'm talking about the original SF4, SS4, not Arcade Edition, the very first one.

    You have made an assumption by thinking I was talking about the most recent Street Fighter game so, uh, who's ignorant?
     
    There are two games I had absolutely terrible experiences playing. Lemmings and Pokemon Yellow...

    First off, Lemmings was a horrible game for the SNES in which you do nothing but try to lead a group of stupid rodents, imps, or something out of a dungeon by giving them a limited set of commands. If you didn't get a certain percentage of them to the exit within a time limit (generally, two to three minutes). As the game goes on, the dungeons get progressively more elaborate with increasingly difficult obstacles and fewer options on each new level that leave you completely stupified as to how to beat this game, since you keep running out of options and the time limits keep getting shorter. Eventually, you get to a level you can't complete and when time runs out all the Lemmings explode and...AHH, why did I get this stupid game!!!

    Pokemon Yellow was just flatout stupid. When Pokemon first came out, I didn't want anything to do with the series because I didn't like getting into fads when they were new. Ultimately, I wound up getting Pokemon Silver and, some time after completing it, I went out an bought a copy of Yellow to see what the first gen games were like... That was a mistake...a very big mistake! This game had terrible graphics (even for a Gameboy game) and awful gameplay that was terribly broken in comparison to the refined stuff I'd gotten used to in Pokemon Silver. But, the thing that really killed this game for me was the fact that it basically seemed to badly try and recapitulate the whole Ash/Gary rivalry from the anime. To add insult to injury, the game obliged you to use Pikachu full-time, which got annoying because it would constantly make weird noises to try to get your attention and it would actually get upset if you put it in a PC box and then took it out again.

    StarCraft 1 was a pain in the butt to play... The pathing was so terrible xD
    Everytime my air forces flew into missile turrets over and over again. Worst of all was the Dragoon unit, it just walked randomly in a weird path, crossing enemy bases over and over while i only wanted it to move a few inches.

    My problem right now is your attitude, not the subject at hand. You got all pissy and kept pulling strawmen because I assumed you were a beginner, and understandably so when someone knocks a game because they couldn't beat it at very easy.

    You said tournaments. Plural. Vanilla SF4 (when sagat was broken) was only in one EVO tournament. Sagat was nerfed when SSF4 hit and from there he was far from dominant. And honestly, we're talking about fighting games here, of course I'm gonna bring up the latest installment because fighting games keep updating all the time, so making claims like that mean nothing. (No, you even went as far as calling it a bad game.) Sagat only dominated ONCE, did you not know that? ...or did the whole "sagat is top tier" meme catch you out?

    No need to swear and get upset. I don't have an attitude, I'm only trying to tell you that your assumptive, and over something that should of been ignored. You picked a fight when you should of just listed your worst video game experience. Instead, you didn't like my answer and caused all this. It doesn't matter if it was hard for me or not, and it doesn't matter if it was my first game, nor is it any of your business. I said let it go.

    Semantics don't help your flawed response. Whether I said what I said was plural or not, you know what I meant, especially when I only listed one title. I believe my response was SF4 not SSF4, not SSTF4AE, not SF3rd Strike. So when it comes down to it, if I listed one title, it's obvious that I mean the tournaments pertaining to that individual game.

    Picked a fight? How? All I wanted to do was tell you that you just need to get used to the mechanics because I assumed you were a beginner. Perhaps I worded it in a less friendly way, but that's no reason to be like this. None of this would have happened if you corrected me without getting all pissy (this is swearing?) about making accusations/claims and go on and say it's a bad game for something that is not even true.

    Stop pulling strawmen. Of course I'd interpret this post:
    Can you really say people who used Sagat only during EVO Tournies is not a bad game? Top lel.
    As nothing else than knocking the SF4 series, especially considering the comment you quoted with this. On top of being not true, I still can't make heads or tails out of this. What does that have to do with the mechanics? What does that have to do with it not being your first SF game? And if it is about vanilla SF4, why even say that when the game has updated so many times already? You just threw that out of nowhere, and the only reason I could think of is to either pick a fight with me or to try and show me you know anything about the series.
    Nowhere in your post did you mention SF4, and the game you mentioned in the previous post was SSF4. And yes, it does matter if you're using plurals or not, don't make excuses to back out of this one, especially since what you said is still largely false.

    Regardless, I have no problem with dropping this matter right now. We're going off track from the thread. Take it to PM if you wanna argue further.

    "Piss" is indeed profanity.

    I'm not being like anything, I merely expressed my opinion on the game and you didn't like it. This thread was suppose to go: My answer, your answer. Not. My answer, you questioning my answer because you feel the need to defend a bad game, then your answer.

    I'm aware I titled the wrong game in the first post I made. (Super Street Fighter 4 as opposed to Street Fighter 4) but with the "Sagat being king in EVO" you knew what game was talking about. So you're the one picking "strawmen"... whatever that is.

    I'm not backing out of anything. I'm here to throw down. Clearly you want to back down and carry-on in PM. I however do not. You questioned my response and I'm giving you my reason. You started this offtrack debate. Not me.

    If your done, aight. I'm sure I'll see you around, PC. But I don't intend to argue in secrecy.
     
    Well, I'm not a big fan of RTS games, so I don't really have fun on games like Starcraft.

    That being said... I remember playing Brütal Legend. I loved the premise of the game, I loved the voice acting, the graphics, everything.

    ... And then they went ahead and added RTS components, and I struggled mightily. I got through the RTS-styled missions, but it completely soured my opinion on the game.
     
    Devil May Cry 4 is probably close to the top of the list. I played it on Easy with very little trouble, but playing it on Legendary Dark Knight Mode is pretty fun. I have a great time fighting the hordes of enemies, but the bosses are completely uninspired and tedious. Nero is also a big problem; he isn't bad to play as, but playing as Dante really made me realize how dull and incomplete Nero is, and I can't really enjoy him again knowing how much better Dante is.

    I find myself incapable of loving just about every archaic RPG. I liked Planescape: Torment, but only because the mechanics were more dialogue focused than combat focused. Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, classic Fallout, Ultima, SMT, etc. are almost never fun in terms of combat mechanics. That's not to say that I don't still enjoy them however; it's just the combat in those games function as more of an obstacle rather than a necessary element.
     
    Mostly the occasional DotA 2 match, but that is ultimately par for the course.

    Recently, Blighttown in Dark Souls.
