Any time the game throws a "boss battle that you're not supposed to win because of storyline purposes" at you but doesn't make it obvious that you're not supposed to win. I remember wasting countless items in the first battles against *Tales of Symphonia spoilers* Kratos and Yggdrasil only to find out that the outcomes of both of those fights didn't matter at all. Winning the first fight is possible but very difficult and gains you nothing by doing so, and winning the second is pretty much impossible outside of insane NewGame+ bonuses and still gains you nothing by doing so. But how was I supposed to know that the first time through?


these are such terrible game design choices

I was pretty aggravated at the end of Morrowind: Tribunal. The rewards are good, but spending 15 hours of your life trying to find Sotha Sil only to find that his ass was dead from the beginning because of Almalexia herself is a pretty big middle finger IMO. The whole game the priests are like "Nah man, Sotha Sil went loo loo, PRAISE ALMAMLEXIA" and finding out the opposite and then getting your face pushed in by a god is no fun. And to put the cherry on top of said middle finger, unlike in the main game and Bloodmoon where the world thanks you for your deeds and sees you as a hero, the people in Tribunal think your a nutcase for claiming the two god's are dead. You even lose reputation with them if you mention it. Fuck that.

Eh I liked it tbh. I just wish it would've panned out as described between then and in the credits.
They followed it up with the pretty much non existent modern story in Black Flag and making it a she's in the abstergo computers! shit doesn't pan out the way it was spoken about.. if they actually went that way with it then it could've been cool. But it likely would've meant ending the franchise so they couldn't do that...

No More Heroes 2. You play almost the entire game as Travis, but there are two segments where you control characters from the first game. There's a fairly lengthy segment where you're Shinobu and you take out a few bosses and play through some regular levels. When you control the badass Henry, the secret final boss of the first game, however, it only lasts for one fight and it's against a hallucination in a dream. The other bosses he eliminates in the story are killed off camera. The characters all joke about his playability, rubbing salt in the wound and making it clear that it was one big meta joke.

lol they did that shit again in Kirby Planet Robobot but with the true final boss already being much harder than all the true final boss in previous games and unpracticable outside of the half hour long boss rush. After you beat it (and it's already one of the hardest if not the hardest boss in the series) it has 3 last ditch ring moves that basically one shot you and force you to redo everything again.

One of EA's earliest Middle fingers was in the Collectors edition of Battle For Middle Earth 2. You were given a rare Dragon unit in the Evil campaign. Two volleys from any archery unit, and it died.

Mass Effect 2. Importing your saved character from ME1, only to find the 10 million credits and uber gear you saved up, have vanished. Oh, and being railroaded in to joining a terrorist organisation.

Dawn of War; The Chaos Lord. You spend your entire campaign getting the best gear, then upgrade him to a Demon Prince, only to find out, that it sucks all the balls. And you can't revert.

You get to the end of the game and learn that you had to collect all those teddy bear looking things. So essentially, you discover that you have to actually replay the whole game a second time. I quit the game at that point and never looked back.

FF9 is even worse with it. You can't just lose you have to deal enough damage or last a certain amount of turns and then lose.

With no indication of such a mechanic at all.

In Diablo II:

*finds amazing item*
"Yes!"
*picks it up*
*item is Ethereal* (which basically means it can't be repaired and is useless once it breaks)

It can be good for some items (that are Indestructible, repair their durability / replenish their quantity or are worth socketing with a Zod Rune, which makes them Indestructible), but other than that, it's bad.

Even worse is when you die in Hardcore mode (in which your character dies permanently), especially when it's due to the server lagging. If you have good items, they're gone. If you're a high level, all the Exp. is gone.

With FF9 its still a real boss fight, the game just does the kill move after the boss dies.

That's just something I heard, no idea if it's true. But yeah, if locking the last few chapters behind DLC was the plan all along, then that's definitely up there in terms of middle fingers. >_>

I think they pulled the same shit with Dead Rising 4...


Dead Rising 2's Case West was an epilogue that only came out on the 360. What's worse, it doesn't even go with the "best ending" in the main game, but another ending that would probably leave you feeling unsatisfied without the DLC expanding on it.

Totally agree with the first part. The one with the checkerboard outfit was from 5, which I personally feel is a pretty good game. 1 was good, 2 was great, 3 was good until the twist and then became horrible, 4 was bad, and 5 was pretty good.

Not true.

beating Kratos gives a ton of xp and money and I think you also get a good consumable item, AND if you do beat him, it does change the story slightly because Mithos attacks you afterwards (and you basically auto lose, he has maxed out everything and everything he does causes 9999 damage)

Star Dream Soul OS? Though some OP abilities make it a lot easier. The one hit ko moves actually bypass the invincibilities of most moves, the only one in the game that does so though.
