10 NIGHTMARES Every Gamer Has

[@grayaj23]

Lemmings almost got me fired. I installed it at work and my boss caught me and I thought I was f'd. Turned out, he was stuck on a level lower than I was on so I showed him how to beat it. He made me uninstall it with a stern warning.

Another one from back in the day that leads on from not having a backup save was, You get to a point in the game where you can save, only to notice that an enemy has already triggered an attack at you that will one shot you. every time to start the save file you're killed rendering the game save useless and having to start over. I had this happen as recently as Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox.

[@josephmannion1976]

I was playing Max Payne and accidentally saved as I was falling, every time I loaded the game it loaded me mid air 😂

A nightmare from my childhood: the phone is ringing... Before we received fiber optics (which we got quite late) our internet was provided through the telephone line. That meant every time the phone was answered or hung up the internet connection was lost. Playing high rounds of Black Ops Zombies with friends and hearing the phone ring was truly a nightmare

[@Wistful_Mate]

Yeah hearing the corrupt save file killed me. I was 30+ hrs into final fantasy 7 remake when the game randomly crashed and said that it had become corrupt. Deleted the game only not my saves and reinstalled only to find out all the progress I had made was gone and I was back to Clouds meeting with Aerith in the church. Safe to say I deleted the game and haven’t looked back since

Something similar to number 6 happened to me. I lost access to the email account I had been using for well over a decade. The restoration procedure asked me to not just answer my secret question but list the titles of sent emails and other specific bs that I couldn't do. That email was bound to my Steam, Origin, Uplay, Xbox Live, PSN, etc. I managed to restore almost everything and the only casualty was my Epic Games account (where I only had the free games). Lesson learned, always secure your accounts with a phone number.

[@UndyingZombie]

I had something like that ALMOST happen to me as well.. I say ALMOST.. Because I was able to recover most of my accounts linked to that email.. Most.. Not all.. My GOG account being one of them... I know I lost other things but honestly did not care as much. Like I did lose my Xbox Live account but really to me that was not a big deal since the most I lost there was a few things that where free in the first place.. and I still have the physical data that I knew how to access without the account. I was able to get my steam account, and and everything else back fine.. So I have made safeguards even with those ones regardless to make sure even if I did somehow lose the new email I will still be safe with accounts from there on out.

The worst thing is when you find out your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU or that your current power supply ends up being underpowered to run your new GPU. Had to fix my sister's gaming rig that she got pre-built because the 550w power supply wasn't enough for all her components. Had to get her a 850w instead because her rig kept shutting off during higher intensity gameplay.

I'm more on the software side of things than hardware, and yet I still get stuck dealing with her computer problems. All I can say is that I never want to have to wire a power supply unit to a motherboard or its peripherals ever again in a case specifically designed for cable management through the side panel. Absolute nightmare, especially when some of the cables barely ran the length right.

[@fcontini]

When I got my PC, I invested much more money than I needed because I would gladly pay for NOT having those FPS drops in any games... then eventually I got Elden Ring. Every time that FPS dropped randomly, I got pretty annoyed. I thought that FPS drop issue it had was related to it sending data to the server and waiting for the response (I/O), but it still happens if you disable online and completely disconnect from the internet.

Linked to nr. 10, a story I still have nightmares about: in 2015 or 16, I racked up 68 hours of game time on Witcher 3 in a little over 2 weeks, playing it religiously every chance I got. I was still living at home with my parents and one night, lightning struck our house. No visible damages to the house and nothing to the electrical grid at first sight. I found out minutes later that we had a second electrical grid, to which our house phone (unused for years), the lights on the porch outside and my PlayStation were linked. Result: the second electrical grid was the only thing affected by the lighting strike and was completely fried. I haven’t touched the Witcher since, and I think about it often

[@Forever_Zero]

As much as I love physical version of games, I agree that the fear of they not working anymore due to time is very real... But I guess nothing lasts forever, not the consoles, not even the digital versions

[@stephenphillips7699]

My fear with digital downloads is, forgetting my log in details and not being able to redownload from where I got them.

[@zJoriz]

Well spoken. Yes, disks degrade. I have worked at a printing firm that had a room full of physical and digital archives, in case clients wanted to reprint old material. The digital stuff was stored on zip disks, magneto disks and a huge amount of 500MB CDRs. And especially with those CDRs I had a ~20% chance of having degraded to the point of being unreadable. Also the reason I have two copies of Morrowind. One didn't work at the time. To be fair, I doubt the other does anymore either.

[@crookedbuns]

only upside to an unreadable disc is now you've got something you can frame and hang up on display. can't do that with digital. I did that with my very first copy of the original rayman that I played as a kid until it was unplayable xD Had to get myself a new one a few years back so I can finish the game.

I'm old. I'm also dumbuh. I grew up with an abacus, 8 bit, 16 bits, 4 bits (but it's portable HA take that, wackbards ressprog), skipped most of 32. Mostly because I tripped and fell, but also there were like, five different KINDS of 32 bits, I tried to show my math teacher that I wasn't insane, using this logic, but I failed. So, moving on, I fantastically finally found final fantasy 32, on the playstation. I used my fingers, and my toes, but I still couldn't find 4 5 and 6 becauze weaboo was, alas, still not a thing. So I rented a playstation from my local video game and VHS store (they were a thing, back in my day), because I had dirt on him, so he gave me the console and their copy of Finasty Fanals the 7th. He had dirt on IT. Me, having never seen a round game before, let alone a round game PLAYER (where the F(_)CK is my DAMN TOASTER CONSOLE) wasn't put off. I was but, maybe put on. So anyway, these cup coasters had numberz on dem, which never made much sense to me obviously. So when I tried to load the | shaped coaster number, it would get to the starting screen and then break, like my hopes. My dreams. So I opened the coaster counsel, left it on, blew on the coaster a few times and put it back in. Same problem. So I opened it AGAIN, and put in the coaster with the wiggly Z symbol. It worked! Finnial Fantasm Eleventy Hundred WORKED. I took Claud right up to the Shark Reactor, Black Big Bayonetta and I blue that shiz UP. And a giant blue monster creature came out of a crater, roaring. Point is, the gameplay is on all the discs, even the entire script.......... but when you hit a cinematic, it loads directly from the disc's hard-baked video files. LOL So when I blew up the Mako Reactor, we jumped all the way to Northern Crater with the WEAPONS, instead of the short reactor cinematic lol Me, playing this game at the time as a teenage girl.... "WOW they weren't kidding, these Japanese RPGs are odd. I don't know what I just saw. Anyway going to keep playing this is fun."

Corrupt save again. Second time I had made more backup saves though.

[@marystone860]

I have something to add to this. I got Fallout 3 (PS3), from a gaming friend of mine. I've been playing it, and I thought:' I might get the DLC's for it.' I told my friend this, and frickin' good thing I didn't! He told me if I had done so, because of the version I have, if I had got them, they will BRICK your PS3! Some massive glitch/bug, even he didn't know why, so I don't know what version you have, but if you have the vanilla Fallout 3, for the PS3, DO NOT get the DLC's, your system will be screwed!

I was able to retake and pass them but I completely abandoned that game and never let a game, ditching MMO's almost completely, impact my personal life that much ever again. The corrupt save file check, the game breaking bug check, broken controller check. Fun video...in the sense that its a fun format and the way its delivered because most of us know of the issues mentioned in it and if it were just some dry speech about glitches than it wouldn't have been fun at all.

The division 2, had a season event that had a one time gear item, then it gets released full time into the game and now the devs are deleting the item completely.

Encountered number 1 just recently. Be careful building a 1700, DDR5 system. You may need additional mounting brackets if you're using a custom cooler. I bought the motherboard and ram from different places. When my new build stopped turning on, I brought it to the shop for the ram and they told me the issue must be I messed up the motherboard using the wrong brackets. So I brought the motherboard to the other shop, they tested it and told me the motherboard is fine, it's one of the RAM sticks that is faulty. So because they were a kit, I had to RMA both of them. The whole thing took about a month to resolve.

[@mickomoo]

DDR5 has been a shit show for me. Built my first PC in 2020, helped my dad in 2021. Literally no problems. Was one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done as an adult because I used to be afraid of handling components. Then in early 2022 built one with my GF using DDR5, the thing kept crashing. Find out certain memory controllers on early DDR5 just weren’t stable at all… Sent this motherboard in for RMA in January. Asus is now just handing it back to me in June… I feel bad because I told my GF this would be easy lol.

some additional nightmares for every gamer (in my opinion) - playing a game with an auto/manual save function, and in the middle of a bad situation, the auto save only did a save at the beginning of the chapter/mission, and your last manual save was literally moments before the bad situation happens forcing you to go all the way back to the beginning of the mission - missing a sale, this is more of my opinion but man missing a game sale really sucks for me, or worst, buying a game with the price of my liver, only for it to be on sale the next day

8) This is old, and I don't hear people ever mention this. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn had a nifty little thing where you could import save data from Path of Radiance for just a few little bonus items, some weapons, some extra starting gold, nothing game breaking. Problem was, certain editions of Radiant Dawn would lock up if you imported an Easy difficulty Path of Radiant save when you attempted to engage Pegasus rider. You weren't going to encounter these until several chapters into the game (I think was nearly the end of Act 1) and when they flew in and inevitably attacked you, your game locks up. It wasn't all copies of the game, and as far as I know it was only Easy difficulty files, but was annoying since at the time, tracking down information for it was extremely difficult.

[@alexmacdonald5087]

While I didn't get a corrupted save, I do still clearly remember the time the power went out while I was playing a game on the Wii, the game was one that used save points rather than let you save anytime from a menu screen, and I'd gone through about two hours of play time without coming across one, there were a few difficult bosses battled in that time, I'd finished several chapters, and all of that progress was lost in a single second, my mother came home to me inconsolably crying in front of the powerless t.v

My biggest nightmare: getting most of the way through the suicide mission in ME2 and picking one wrong character for a situation and having them die so you have to restart the whole thing.

[@rustyshackleford2022]

You shouldnt just drop acronyms, nobody who matters knows what your saying

[@SmolMightBite]

@@rustyshackleford2022 I figure anybody who knows and enjoys the series knows what I’m talking about as I have seen the same game, name dropped the same way under almost every video I’ve seen it mentioned in since it is quite a large series with a large following, But if you need me to spell it out for you I absolutely can! I’m talking about Mass Effect 2 suicide mission.

Coming home to find you’ve been robbed and they’ve taken everything. Game disks, consoles, hard drives - everything.

I had to comment about the first issue, the save file. Me and my brother both were playing FF7 when it came out. I was way further ahead than him, but one time he asked me for some help. So I help him and then save the game. But I saved over my save slot! I lose a good 30 hours. It hurt bad. Ever since then, I just keep making new saves every single time.

[@greatestever1174]

Skyrim be like : “oh you have 100+ hours on this save, yea fuck that save, corrupted*”

[@paradsecar]

Addendum to losing your save file frustrations: When your sibling/roommate/etc plays a game you are also playing and saves over your file. Even worse was back in the day when game saves used to be on the cartridge, and you let a friend borrow it with the one caveat that they DO NOT SAVE OVER YOUR GAME, but did anyway “on accident”. I had to resort to fisticuffs a few times because of this in my years.

[@miceforever9956]

I am in my 30's now and can remeber SO many RPG's were a got a corrupt save files with over 100 hour in. The Worst. Thank for fantastick daily videos FALCON you make my day !

[@ElricSowrd]

Actually, Third Party Controllers break more easily. I never experienced this JoyCon drift I've been hearing about. The problem is the Left JoyCon rail on my Switch that it randomly doesn't detect a Left JoyCon even though it's connected. And I'm aware about Disc Rot.

A year and a half ago my Epic Games account was hacked by someone. I panicked at first but thankfully they only changed my username, password and unlinked a few accounts. I was able to recover it thanks to a nice staff member from Epic Games who also allowed me to change back to my original username. That experience helped me realize I gotta smash my keyboard whenever making a password so no one can guess it

[@vanillabutternut3142]

I’m honestly surprised a bugged trophy or achievement didn’t make this list That is probably my top 3. To 99% a game and then something just doesn’t work.

[@alekhaalrem1408]

not even have to be bugged, i hate multiplay achievements :'(

[@chrisreidy1673]

I've suffered ''disc rot'' on two more modern games. MGSV and Red Dead Redemption 2. I ended up having to rebuy both games. I've also noticed some newly-bought Blu-Ray discs wouldn't play in the PS4. I think they already had disc rot.

[@geordiejones5618]

Stored in the original cases or somehere else? Do you live in a high humid area?

I had actual nightmares of the Yanme’e bugs from Halo 2… which is now sort of reoccurs lol essentially just get crushed by millions of them

[@daleanguiano6780]

Even to this day, I still make two saves for near every game.

The ammount of anxiety I get from pressing the power button on a newly built computer is part of the fun.

[@singleplayermoments]

Hoo boy I feel that last one. So I had an old PC, and didn’t really plan on building a whole new one, but for various reasons I ended up having to get a new graphics card (GTX 970), motherboard and CPU, and because of the motherboard I needed a bigger case. Once it was all transferred over/put together, I had an issue was it would always turn itself off a few minutes after starting up any graphically demanding game. Took weeks to figure out the cause was that the PSU was too weak, but man what a nightmare those weeks were! That was 7/8 years ago. I actually have the same build today and it’s still going strong! I love my GTX 970.

[@sammydanger7287]

I remember fairly recently, I had just put in 50 hours into horizon forbidden west. I booted up my PS5 and I got a message along the lines of, your PS5 didn’t boot up correctly and your save info may be gone. I couldn’t even load the game. I had to completely delete it and reinstall it. I told myself, if I boot up the game and it is all gone, I am calling it the quits and not putting another 50 hours into the game again to get back to where I was. Thankfully, it was saved. I just remember the feeling of “well this game is dead to me…”

[@samueldumisanithole9850]

I used to play PS2 without a memory card. So. You know. I'd leave that thing running all day, all night.

[@klaus117gaming]

11:50 happened to me when Darkness Reborn was taken down from the App Store. The game was doing so good so I never understood why they pulled the plug on it

[@zilixian]

nowadays losing a console account can be detrimental because of MMO's like Black Desert Online, etc. i know people who've whaled thousands into it.

[@VonDrinkoften]

Interesting video. Regarding hardware getting trashed, and probably only relevant to PC users... the Starforce copy protection fiasco which literally trashed peoples CD/DVD drives. I believe most occurred with those that had writing capability, but fortunately I dodged that bullet. I know a number of people though back in the day that weren't as lucky.

[@BlackMage969]

#10 back in the day made me so paranoid about the power going out that I'd save every minute because I've lost countless hours of playtime because of the inconsistent power flow and constant flickering of power.

[@lukejennings1778]

Right away, 10 made me think of my recent attempts to play through Assassin's Creed II on 360... It's happened like 5 times in a row, without even reaching Venice once

[@logieagogie]

Honestly the red ring of death on my xbox popped up several times and if my brothers or I just turned it off as fast as possible by unplugging the system it would still work

[@B.A.Killington]

you should do a nightmares every gamer has relating to playing games themselves as opposed to hardware problems. I kept expecting "wasting your skill points on the wrong skills" was going to make the list.

Computer Science 101: Operating System is a software "responsible" for managing resources. If your software demands to fry your GPU, it's OS' task to prevent it. Blame Microsoft for this.

Actually, BSODs still exist, but Microsoft just hid them. By default instead of showing you the blue screen, your system will just automatically restart which in some ways is worse, but mostly better.

MGS4 - Going for my Big Boss run, and at the end of the Shadow Moses mission...power goes out...wait for power to come back on to see my PS3 giving me the "You did a bad and failed to shut down properly - I am going to take the next 2 hours to check everything out" only to see my save was corrupted. Needless to say, I never bothered going back.
