Game: Final Fantasy V Advance

Douchenozzle: Stingray
Reason for being a douchnozzle: Won't drop a dragon whisker. I've killed about 20 so far and no dragon whisker. The dragon whisker isn't even good; In fact, it sucks. I only want it because I have this odd habit of wanting at least 1 of every item in the game when I play RPGs. Yeah you can steal one from Shinryu, but it's a rare steal and Shinryu is a cheap arsehole.

Oh wow I just thought about this. Since you can run from Shinryu, I could have easily just given someone steal, and the next person flee and just keep doing it until I got one. f***.

Edit: I GOT ONE!

[Kroot bringing Justice]

Game: Final Fantasy VI

Douchenozzle: Waterfall Pirhanna thingy
Reason for being a douchnozzle: Has a legion of mooks that wear me down before I can fight him with no healing in between, get to giant pirhanna. Damn thing gets three turns in a row, does about 200 damage per turn. Worse yet is the El Nino attack, does about 800 damage, the max HP Sabin and Cyan have a 500. f*** this.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Game: Pokemon Sapphire

Douchenozzle: Clamperl
Reason for being a douchenozzle: I have EVERY pokemon from Generation three in these games except one, f***ing Huntail. And why is this? Because I picked the wrong item from the Captain and got two Gorebyss. Yeah ,my bad, until I read that Clamperl sometimes carries the item needed to evovle Huntail. I've caught a dozen of these little bastards, and still, nothing. Not a single f***ing tooth. YOU OWE ME, YOU BIVALVE BASTARD!

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Game: Final Fantasy XII

Douchenozzel: Both the Demon Wall's

The guy just overpowers every one I control, & the one guy I don't control is the one who absolutely own's it get's teleported away every battle! I beat the first one once but didn't think I would need to save until I got pasted against the wall by the second one! doesn't help he keeps putting my character's to sleep! F this boss!

[Dee.]

Game: Dead Space

Douchenozzle: Me.

I'm too scared to touch the game again.

[Johnny B. Decent]

Game: UFC Unleashed.

Douchnozzle: The Refs.

Quit calling a round when I got the guy K.O.'d!

[Bo Rida]

Game : Donkey Kong 94
Douchenozzle: It's really hard to time my route when having to carry a key, make mid air platforms and negotiate spring boards.

Game: Tiger Woods 10
Douchnozzle - rubbish as you can't drive more that 200 yards without hitting a tree.

Yes but...what about hitting the ball off the tee?

[♥ Bunnyslinger ♥]

Game: Mafia (PC)
douchenozzle: driving and shooting

Reason for being a douchnozzle: all vehicles handle like a drugged up donkey being beaten to death in a rice field with porcelain figurines. And the shooting is just beyond awkward, you cant hit anything, takes forever to reload, you can't hit ANYTHING, aiming is awkward, YOU CANT HIT ANYTHING.

[Pervy Stone Cold]

Game: Worms Armageddon

Douchenozzle: Water Surprise Mission (Eiffel Tower level)

Hate having to use the bow with pin-point accuracy.

[theryno665]

Games: MadWorld and House of the Dead Overkill

Douchenozzle: UPS

Because they're sitting at a warehouse instead in my hands right now.

Need to level up more. Simple as that. When I played the game, Sabin and Cyan had over 1000 HP. Killed the main piranha and his goons in a couple of hits.

[shiranui]

Game: Persona 3 Portable (PSP)

Douchenozzle: Atlus still not saying anything about a western release
Reason for being a douchenozzle: I want to play this thing on my PSP AND understand something about it, but the longer Atlus takes to confirm the release of the English language version, the more tempted I am to just cave in and order the damn thing straight from Japan. To be honest, I'm fairly sure I know enough Japanese to be able to use the battle system as I'm already familiar with it anyway (and I know the plot, having played through the PS2 version a couple of times), it's the social part of the game that might prove difficult (especially when playing as the female protagonist since she has different social links).

If that doesn't count, then there is...

Game: WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2010

Douchenozzle: It's much too easy to exploit the weaknesses in the game mechanics. Just stomp the hell out of your opponent while he's down, and when he's getting up hit a running grapple. If timed right it's, as far as I can tell, unblockable (or at least so hard to reverse that it hits 99.9% of the time). Of course, people who know how to use tricks like this are often highly frustrating to play against.
Reason for being a douchenozzle: Takes all the fun out of the game, especially if you're trying to play fair.

I don't think you need to beat the second Demon Wall.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

Game: Dragon Age Origins

Douchenozzle: Morrigan

Why: Bitch won't f*** me anymore.

[Lupin the Third]

Game: Madden

Douchenozzle: You. Can't. LATERAL!!! EVER!!!
By far the stupidest thing in Madden. Onside kicks don't mean squat unless you have a really fast player. Plus, you can't do any cool trick plays like a manuel hook & lateral. EA needs to bring it back.

[Jay Peas 42]

All Classic RPGs have super rare items, some have never been found and the only evidence of their existance is a blurb in an instruction manual. Heck, even FF7 had the gold chocboco.

Bit. Trip. Beat.

I am a huge music game fan and have played a wide spectrum of them, from the Hero/RB game to DDR and ITG to Parappa...and this is the worst by a LONG shot. This game deserves absolutely none of the hype it has right now.

[MolotovMocktail]

Game: Thief II: The Metal Age
Douchenozzle: Casing the Joint
Reason for being a douchenozzle: It's not just "don't kill anyone." If you knock someone out with your blackjack, use a flash bomb, or are even seen, you fail. And the guards check EVERY room going up and down the corridors, so you never can step out into the hall whenever you want.

Game: Grand Theft Auto III
Douchenozzle: Smack Down Mission
Reason for being a douchenozzle: Drug dealers spawn completely at random after the first two. By the time you kill one, two have left the street, and you have to drive all the way back across town. Spawned dealers stay on the streets for less than a minute.

Game: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Douchenozzle: Zero Flying Mission
Reason for being a douchenozzle: On the AO-rated version, your plane runs out of gas even when the throttle is not used. Hard to fly, impossible to aim. You take a lot of punishment from your targets. I got maybe 3 out of 5 targets at my best.

Is this the Pong-type one? I downloaded the demo and I enjoyed it, but not enough to pay for the full game. Also, it went from mind-numbingly easy to incredibly hard way too fast.
