8 Moments That Made Us Go Eff This Game

Ahhh Yusuke. It’s a bummer they went so creepy with him on his recruitment mission. Doing his social link, you realize he’s actually not interested in romance or sex at all; he’s single-mindedly focused on art and has very little grasp on social that the MC has to steer him away from putting himself in bad situations because of this lack of awareness. The writers made a bad choice making him so focused on Ann, considering the team JUST beat the teacher who was pressuring Ann sexually and was implied to have sexually abused her best freiend. Bad, tone-deaf choice

I love how non scripted this is... it's like a confessional... you can sense their frustration.

The napalm situation is why you always put on subtitles, that way you can hear whispered conversations 20 metres away, which is amazing

The main thing that makes me not finish games is entirely my own fault: When it comes to big RPGs like Skyrim, The Witcher III, etc, I do so many side quests and exploring that I burn myself out and never progress the story (or I don't finish for a very long time because I keep needing to step away for a while).

"I'm gonna go... Take a walk. Outdoors." Man, those were the days...

"I want you to air out these books." Just that line sounds so dead.

No one tell her that there were 7 more phases to the Ansem fight. I told my sister that when she was fighting him AFTER she already beat the second ansem part and she just laid on the floor saying oh god over and over

"All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ"

''...I will put my heart and soul into creating the best nude painting ever!'' is probably the funniest out of context line ever written.

What about Plague Inc Evolved? When a random citizen around the world sneezes and Magadascar/Greenland closes all contact with civilization

I wonder if Mike ever found out you could just run past the Tyrant in Code: Veronica at that point.

Resident evil taught me the value of dividing my weapons in tiers and ranking what enemies are worth what ammo. Code Veronica was my introduction to RE so I learned this lesson in the same way with the tyrant fight. Only difference is Final Fantasy taught me years ago that I should play with at least a good 2-4 save files.

To be fair, literally everyone in Persona 5 acted like a massive weirdo before finally joining the party, at which point they took a chill pill and start behaving like human beings.

Ansem from Kingdom hearts actually has more stages after the one Ellen quit at. He really is the Dragon Ball Z villain of Kingdom hearts.

I powered my way through that Ansem fight in KH 1.5 but man was I cussing up a blue storm during it. One of my roommates came in wondering what was going on and my other roommate who was watching just answered "Kingdom Hearts". Nothing else needed to be said.

The most famous one of these has to be in the final battle of Mega Man when you can get past the last save point with no bubbles, which leaves you with no way to beat the final boss as you can only hurt him with bubbles. There is no way to go back to a previous save so you can't beat the game.

So fun fact: I've never actually played a whole Kingdom Hearts game. I HAVE however beaten Ansem. My younger brother lost like a dozen times and after I got tired of laughing at him I offered to try it myself, and he just wanted to see me fail for a while so he let me. And I did fail. Once. I spent the whole first attempt learning the buttons, and beat him on the second try. My brother has still never forgiven me for that and it must've been 16 years ago this happened.

My own "eff this" moment was the end of the first time I played Persona 3. It was two in the morning, and I was really hyped to see how it all ended. Epic boss battle, forty-something minutes in, I get it down to half health, and then it fires off a super attack that inflicts random status conditions on my party. It charmed Yukari. Who then, before I could take an action again, HEALED IT UP TO FULL. I was just so demoralised I turned the console off right then and didn't even retry it for another few days.

I rage quit the first Max Payne over the “escape the fire” sequence. I tried so many times. Add to the difficulty the fact that every death forces you to watch an unskippable cutscene, and the fact that there is a giant glass but somehow unbreakable window right where you start, and I never did finish….
