That pissed you off.
The first one that comes to my mind is the Super Smash Brothers Brawl Subspace cutscene where Luigi first appears. Luigi was my main at the time, so I was pumped about being able to use him. Then DeDeDe comes up from behind and trophifies Luigi, taking him out until the end of the game. I remember that making me real mad the first time I saw it.
Any other stories?

Every single time that Prince Peasley showed up in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. Thanks for being annoying and never helping.  |

In the Arkham games, anytime Batman tells somebody to stay where they are because they'll be "safe there." 9 times out of ten the area they're in is ridiculously dangerous, and by the time he gets back to them they're dead.

I guess it could be considered unimportant as it happens after the credits but the last scene of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow ruined the entire game for me.

I get irritated when the CU gets critical hits on me in Fire Emblem games, even when I handily survive.
The exception is when a myrmidon got a critical hit on my Jill in Path of Radiance, when she was using an axe. I was a bit worried until I saw that even at 3x damage, he did ZERO damage. RNG Gods were with me on that playthrough, she got some great defense gains.

Decoy Octopus imitating the DARPA Chief in MGS always seemed unimportant to me. Why send someone to try getting information from a grunt like Snake who wouldn't have been told anything useful?

I think he would eventually try and kill Snake when his guard was down, but his habit of blood tranfusions backfired when the DARPA Chief had Foxdie in him. |

That, and if he had stayed alive, him trying to escort the DARPA chief out would be a valuable waste of his time. |

Mass Effect 3 - killing Emily Wong off on Twitter and us getting Chobot as a replacement.

She looked more like Snooky! .. and her voice acting was appalling. Made the dude that voices Male Sheperd look (er sound) like Billy West by comparison. EDIT: Not played ME3 as a renegade yet, does Sheperd get to punch her in the face like she/he did to Emily in ME2? |

Emily Wong is the good reporter that fans loved. al-Jilani can be punched in ME3, but she'll be ready for/expecting it and ducks the punch. You can then headbutt her or let her hit you. |

Isn't he also the one who fools Snake into thinking that the PAL key would disarm Metal Gear? |

I haven't played the original MGS in a couple of years, but I believe Decoy only tells Snake that he already "gave" the password and that Baker had another method of "stopping" the launch, but he didn't mention the PAL key at all, so in hindsight, it was Baker who convinced Snake to use it. |

In Red Dead Redemption, I searched for hours to kill five beavers. Doing so required me to travel into freezing mountain terrain, where I was harrassed constantly by wolves and killed repeatedly by bears. I also had to gather ten red sages. Which meant that I had to search desert scrubland where poisonous snakes and pumas were trying to kill me, and often succeeded. Then I had to shoot many birds and gather their feathers. The whole endeavour taking hours. All of this was done to help a man who was building a glider. He needed these things to complete his work. After gathering these items, I delivered them to him.
He then proceeded to launch his glider off the side of a cliff and instantly fall to his death.

Correct. The actual DARPA Chief got tortured by Ocelot but never talked. Snake was under the false impression that Fox Hound could launch at any time. In that respect, Baker was far more useless and really only there to give you the impression that Snake is a black widow or something. |

It annoys me in Mass Effect 2 that the dialogue with Tali can get just as romantic with FemShep as MShep - what with all the talk of linking suit environments - but then it just stops to avoid the actual romance. This makes it look even more like Bioware just filed off the same-sex stuff in ME2 to avoid any more negative coverage from Fox News (combined with their absolutely ridiculous interviews about wanting to make the game seem "PG-13").
