8 Times a Game Screwed You Over on Purpose, You Swear: Commenter Edition

Videogames are supposed to challenge you, not screw you over for fun. Recently we recalled the times we could swear a game stacked the odds against us and in the comments of that video many of you submitted your own similarly suspect scenarios. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Subscribe for more! www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Take the gym leaders in Pokemon games. Sure, you expect gym leaders to be good at Pokemon battles, but these poke-pros are suspiciously good, if you get my meaning.
Yes, it seems that no matter what your strategy is going in, it’s always countered by the gym leader’s clever counter strategy of absolutely nailing you with critical hits, and then using a full restore just as it looks like you might actually be in with a fighting chance of winning.
At least Left 4 Dead is upfront about it, on account of how the game has a so-called AI director whose sole responsibility is to dynamically choreograph your co-op zombie apocalypse experience, or in layman’s terms: screw with you.
To use one particular example, in the Parish level in Left 4 Dead 2, much of the cemetery layout can be adjusted on the fly, and if you and your three survivor mates have been having a good day, the AI director is empowered to make you take the long way through the tombstones.
This means it’ll take longer to get through the cemetery, and we all know the longer you spend outside of a nice cosy safe room, the greater the odds you’ll be swarmed by a zombified cemetery tour group.

Here's a thought. When presented with the immigration forms at Protagonist Control at the start of a level, just lie.

[@Icalasari]

To be fair, you can also find wild Pidgeotto at level 9 in Yellow, for example I think it's more that the levels for evolution are specific to YOUR trainer, and people who are, say, Dragon masters can evolve their Pokemon sooner If they ever do confirm that, it would probably be in a game where depending on what you train and how, the levels for evolution fluctuate for other species

The slide dodge when in stealth is a bug, a really damn annoying bug. It’s a dodge mechanic that got added after release where the enemies have a chance to avoid your arrow of certain death (the only things I haven’t seen dodge are bears, mammoths, giants, and dragons. Yes, I’ve even had a mudcrab dodge). Unfortunately, this little mechanic likes to activate at random whether you’re stealthier or not. I’ve had enemies dodge the arrow, only to go search around the wall or rock that same arrow they just dodged had struck. Secret spider senses or not, you should at least know where it came from if you can bullshit out of it that hard.

[@charmlarritt2677]

I have actually had a bear dodge one of my arrows. It only happened once, but I was of course stuck in that slowmo animation while being whaled upon by said bear.

The best thing about Skyrim archery is if you happen to have bullseye; the final skill in the archery skill tree. It gives you a chance to sometimes paralyse an enemy with your shots which means that they fall to the ground, froze in exactly the pose they had when hit by the skill. Notice how I said hit by "the skill" and not hit by the arrow? That´s because sometimes bullseye kicks in prematurely before the arrow hits the target, making the victim fall to the ground, your arrow going over their head. I mean, it took you forever to get archery to 100 and you you purchased a skill that has a chance to safe your victims goddam life?! Like, WTF Skyrim!

[@svahn1]

[@rob3at896]

Same thing happens when you have the paralysing-enchantment on your bow. Not sure if I should keep it or not.

[@GuitarsRockForever]

That was the exact reason why I don't get the bullseye perk. It screws your kill shot. It screwed my perfect killing shot too many times and I learned the lesson hard way.

[@abd-qadirgilani8871]

That's because the Bullseye effect/ability is a "Perk-Spell" and not "an arrow with Paralysis slapped on it". The Perk-Spell kicks in as soon as you pull the trigger/release the bow. Its the whole friggin' reason why I don't take that Perk no matter what.

[@fridarendert4152]

How about the archery shenanigans in Skyrim where you're about to land the coolest bloody headshot, you get the cinematic kill show and---- IT MISSES? Not because it should've missed, no, it ABSOLUTELY should have hit and the arrow just sort of mysteriously changes direction mid-air to cause a miss.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

My favorite is when it gets in the cinematic kill-cam, then just hits the cover you were concealing yourself behind that it would have easily gone over.

[@codofwar666]

Even better is when it goes for the cinematic kill-cam and then your perk that occasionally causes paralysis when you shoot someone procs. Before the arrow reaches them. Then, like a narcoleptic mannequin, they fall over and your arrow flies straight through where their head was 10 seconds ago.

[@havelock5619]

The AI director in L4D2 is just genius. It can be in a good mood, a bad mood (you'll know when). It will punish bad team players, and reward good team players. It can be nice to you, or throw a tank right in your way when you're the only one left. If you deserve it.

[@fiftyshadesofcat8502]

Yes it was the AI director who sent those zombies your way. _> Nothing to see here.

[@TonyRedgrave]

You know the elevator event in Hard Rain? My friends and I have survived that event on Expert only to watch the empty elevator come up and have a horde of zombies spawn in the elevator in front of our eyes the second before the door opened.

[@Lord_Phoenix95]

Worst part is when you can see it coming a mile away and then realise everyone is only on pill health and is not outrunning the tank around the corner.

[@ReaperShadow23]

William Denny oh, you mean that moment when you purposefully try to wait for the swarm because it's too quiet and you can sense the Tank? Then the A.I. teammate (or dumb friend) blindly runs forward and triggers the Tank AND the swarm. The theme music for the Tank is burned in my mind. P.S.: I had a Tank punch me out of a room only to land on a VERY startled Witch. I bet A.I. Director was happy with that.

[@hans-dieterutzknurz9507]

Another way Skyrim screws you at archery: At level 100 you can paralyse your enemies. The only problem is that the person you are shooting at is paralysed at releasing your arrow. So it happens quite frequently that you get a killcam in which you see the enemy fall over while you perfectly aimed arrow misses in slow motion.

[@Doubleranged1]

I actually dont take that perk because its so annoying

[@somewierdmatehead8939]

The L4D2 AI system prioritizes the player furthest from the group (technically furthest from another player), with the lowest health, and a bunch of other more specific crap. Yeah, good luck rushing through a level with AI...

I swear that *every time* i shoot my mate on purpose, i got charged into oblivion.

I once killed a teammate by mistake on the bridge in The Parish, and left him to die. The second I got on the scaffolding the last thing I saw was a giant arm before I flew off into the ocean. Fuckin' Karma Chargers...

[@experiment0789]

YESSSSS...THE AI DIRECTOR WAS A DICK! I remember in every left 4 dead game I have ever played it would put the witch directly in front of my path, with no way to get around her. At least she could move in the second one, otherwise my only option was to disturb her and hope I could kill her fast enough.

[@Gang3rs]

While I admit gym leaders like Whitney can sometimes be a bit...obnoxious, I'd say Pokemon REALLY shows its true colors of cheating in the battle towers, subways, and trees. 20-win streak with your balanced team of Water, Grass, and Dragon/Flying? Suddenly the opponent pulls out a Charizard with Solar Beam, a Togekiss with perfect flinching Air Slashes, and an Electrode that not only explodes on your last Pokemon, but costs you the win pre-X/Y mechanics. If the opponent explodes on you, you just LOSE.

I played so much Left 4 Dead 2 that I learned how it's Director worked. I could tell when it was about to gank us and lead my friend into the ambush that I would spot based on ambient queues (specials' noises) while outside the AI trigger range. So I would wait near a corner, giving my victim cover fire and let them go passed the corner to get a charger, jockey or stumble into a witch or a tank or whatever else the director decided would be proper to smite us. Then if he got downed by my trap I would clear the area with a molotov cocktail which was my signature for "Gotcha. Don't worry though, incapacitated survivors take significantly reduced damage from fire and spitter puke.

[@mr.hankeythexmaspooteamhea6136]

+Jeff Cyr I'd still try to *avoid* incapacitating any teammates in *any* circumstance, as i like to *not* waste First Aids (ha, First *Aids* ) & usually only use 'em on teammates that have been downed twice in a row & running on their last legs so i can restore those 2 "lives" they lost, which i like to call "gray mode" because it makes everything you see gray. Oh & the Molotovs could be used on Witches & Tanks.

[@godqueenbidoof]

Well yes of course. I only did this on lower difficulty settings and when we were doing exceptionally well. It only once lead to us failing the game otherwise we still made it to the safe room with health and items to spare

[@alexkaen1701]

Speaking of Skyrim, NPC Mages are impossible! Especially considering how difficult it is to play a Mage fairly, being nerfed every which way from Sunday, it is incredibly annoying to fight an NPC capable of spamming Icestorm, one of the expensive and slow to cast spells, without end while I'm chugging healing potions like made. I actually checked the stats in the strategy guide and it's not paranoia, NPC Mages are given massive boosts in mana to counteract the fact that I've gained a level and increased by lockpicking skill. There are similar cheap buffs being handed out for other Skyrim baddies but a man only has so much rant before he's out of mana as well.

You still have not mentioned the Monster Hunter series and their desire sensor that "officially" doesn't exist. I'll be hunting a Silver Rathalos because I need 10 scales that has a drop rate of (this is legit btw) 43% by carving the corpse, 15% by carving the tail, 12% just randomly dropped during the fight, 50% when I break the spikes on his head, 25% to get TWO if I capture him instead of killing him, 15% when I break the scales on his legs, and 30% for simply completing the mission. I hunt it 20 some times and how many do I get? Fucking 7! Hunt 12 more times and get the next 2, hunt one more time and literally get 12...

[@TreTheEchidna]

In an old Final Fantasy title, you encounter the dragon-god Baphomet extremely early in the game - it is meant to be an unwinnable boss fight but, like many other of the like, it can be done with extreme skill and grinding beforehand. If you beat Baphomet at this point in the game, it just goes to the "you lost" cutscene anyway.

It's fight to the KO not the death. So basically a boxing gym. So it's fairly real

[@masterofmundus1304]

Let's put it this way You throw in an Eevee, which is one foot tall and about 14 pounds. About the same size as an average dog, and mostly knows physical and status moves. Your opponent puts in an Aggron which is 7 feet tall, and about 800 lbs. That's roughly the size of a large bear, and Aggron knows almost exclusively physical moves. Realistically speaking, your Eevee isn't going to "Faint" at the end of that fight. It's dead. It just got the beaten up by a dinosaur made out of Steel. There is no match, you just lost an Eevee. When you take it back to the Pokemon center, it's not getting healed, it's getting replaced. And that's not even talking about the moves that make earthquakes, volcanoes, and other natural disasters. Or the fact that you you have a fucking Pantheon as your team, Arceus might have made everything but a lot of legendaries are worshipped.

Recently played AC: Odyssey and was reminded me of this video. Mercenearies. Those motherbleebing mercenaries! When you get bounty they just HAPPEN to immediately wander around your general area no matter how much you fast travel to another area entirely. Then they waltz in while you're trying to complete a quest or a fortress, are hard as nails to kill and by the time you do kill them, your bounty goes up and you get ANOTHER mercenary on your tail that knows EXACTLY where you are before you even get half a chance to cheese it. I once made one slip in a fortress and as a result I was stuck there for almost half an hour fighting all the soldiers and like six mercenaries one after another. BUT I LIVED!

[@animemanXLK]

Always used to bug me while playing tomb raider or last of us that whenever you entered an area filled with human enemies the instant you were spotted or tried to kill an enemy even if silently and failed (a missed arrow or silencer shot say) the enemies all seemed to suddenly be psychically aware of your location take cover spots accordingly and be firing on your exact location and me just been like oh well so much for stealth....

[@BBQPringlesEnjoyer]

Dragon ball xenoverse 2 when you use your ultimate and the AI use the round long range melee and then, unless they decide to go around, bye bye ultimate attack, and bye bye stamina. Note: the AI only does this at level 70 and on i think. And when they do, they always do it unless tour lucky or they have no stamina. Best to try and break their stamina first, and use your ultimate right after. If they get up, they will ALWAYS go around.

Bit obscure, but in Dungeons of Dredmor, I've run into multiple instances of investing a lot into a character, having ground about five floors worth of monsters to dust for the experience and gear, when I remember that I have the ability to head to my pocket dimension to travel to another realm, in which there should be some appropriately-leveled monsters and loot as per the floor I found the arcane address on. I'll punch in the gibberish-sounding name of this mysterious realm for the first time in that run, usually with the first Arcane Address I found (I'd written down the names in the order I saw them in), and I'll end up in literal hell, with monsters that will rip me to shreds faster than you can say "Diggle". The worst part is that the only way out of the realm one has traveled to is to find its exit, usually through clearing it. Simply activate the Wizard Keys to safely recall back to the pocket dimension of safe haven you used to access this hellscape? Nah, that'd be too easy. That's five massive dungeon floors worth of grinding I'll never get back. My eternal sorrow to the adventurers Kendro-Dalinor, El'Druin, Zendravas, Alstralzin, Valdivinos and Kynvalt, all who are probably still getting killed over and over by the infernal denizens of the burning hells.

Gym leaders normally have 2 healing potions wether it’s full restores on late game or potions on early. Also if you are playing red/blue critical hits are calculated off speed; hence a Persian using slash can score 100% critical hits. Not to mention every single move had a very small chance to miss except Swift. But later games; always been fair, git gud and grind scrub Edit: O&S is a cake walk, run far off, smash out Orn with easy timed forward rolls into wailing him down; then bait in and out of Smoughs lightning ass slam. If you can’t do that; just summon Soliare and let him tank hits while he spams his spears. The issue with any dark souls game has never been boss mechanics; you can cheese most.. All of it’s a fair fight and comes down to your skill. The real bullshittery is waiting out for a telegraphed attack so you can dodge and estus; but no attack is coming so you go to chug and get instantly punished the second you go near the x button

any street racing game: your car has 1000 horsepower, and a top speed over 200 mph, as well as every possible handling upgrade, and you are almost a full lap ahead of everbody else for most of the race. Suddenly, while you are sliding around the very last corner at well over 100 mph, an npc taxi appears two feet in front of you, causing you to spin out and lose precious seconds. You regain control of your car, but not before bouncing uncontrollably off of two or three more vehicles. Meanwhile, every 200 hp, four cylinder shitbox mysteriously manages to cover fifteen seconds worth of road in only about five or six seconds. You watch every last one of them fly past you at impossible speeds, and go from first to last place about 60 feet from the finish line. especially common in Need For Speed Underground 2 and any Midnight Club game.
