Worst Experience with Gaming

[Nrein]

Not to be confused with the Worst Game or Things You Hate in Video Games threads, this is for your worst experiences involving gaming. May it be in the actual game, revolving around a game/games, or gaming.


For myself, I'd have to say my first ever corrupt memory card. This was on the Gamecube, and I had been playing the crap out of Shadow the Hedgehog. I did almost every single combination possible, with just four more left to do.

And then, it happened

My card got corrupt, and *all* the data got removed. The only data I had on there, was that and Super Mario Sunshine. Doing however many combinations for story there were in Shadow the Hedgehog, is a time-eating feat, and once my card got corrupt, I had no will to try it all over again.

Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer earns the worst experience hands down. For one, it sucks at putting you in new games. Time and time again have I seen people try to leave a game I was in only to be put right back into that same game with us. They do it again, and they come back. Leave, come back. Leave, come back. Just... come on.

If you're not the person who made the room, all explosives lag - which is especially irritating on the Ballad of Gay Tony DLC due to the explosive sniper rifles and AA12 Frag-round, as well as the upgraded Annihilator and N.O.O.S.E. APC. Makes the explosive part kind of... hard to use.

The excessive amount of other hindering and problematic glitches is also bad. Sometimes the game makes it that NO vehicles spawn, at all. No cars, none of the placed vehicles, nothing. And it can stay that way for a LONG time - my friend and I once had to run from the third island to the airport (on the opposite side of the map entirely) and even then, nothing was spawning. Not to mention, the game often experiences texture glitches - where certain objects and stuff do not spawn or are invisible, from poles to buildings, it happens.

And the worst of them all - game modders. There are so many, and they can do literally everything and anything to themselves and to you. I hate their actions, and all of them irritate me to absolutely no **censor** end. They are generally all cowards and completely asinine in mannerisms. So many of them ruin games when they join - making you unable to leave, control your vehicles, or even do ANYTHING (setting you on fire at random whenever they want or making explosions happen all around you/your vehicle).

I could also put DBZ Ultimate Tenkaichi up there, too. But GTA has so much that ruins it. I mean, one minute you're loving the game, the next you want to kill everybody in the game server (within the confines of the game, of course) and go play something else - like Skyrim or Halo. At least when everything goes well, GTAIV is a great game to play with a party.

Any time I spend several hours on a game only to find out that none of it got saved properly and I have to do it again.

That one time my brother and I played Midnight Club 3 for like 7 hours straight and as a result he ended up having an epileptic fit.   Put me off videogames for weeks.

My multiple experiences with the rather caustic League of Legends community. Don't get me wrong I love the game and have a lot of great experience but it seems to attract some rather nasty individuals to it. Even if they are not talking about me it is a huge blow to my enjoyment of a match when I see them just ripping into someone on the chat .
