Pokemon Ruby did this to me in 2003, getting to the end of Victory road with an almost fainted team only to find I had to battle a powerful Wally before I could leave was painful.

The custom move unlocking in Smash 4 felt designed to pad the game out and really soured me trying to get all the movesets for the characters
One simple patch that basically removed redundant unlockables (stuff you'd already gotten) would have done the title wonders. As is, its an interesting mechanic wasted by a lousy method of earning it.

Playing domination mode in nba 2k18 my team last night.
I’m playing one of the final 3 teams.
I have Jordan, shaq, Webber, Lillard, Ray Allen, just to make a few. I couldn’t hit the ocean from the beach for some reason. I manage to keep it with in two with two minutes left then all the sudden the other team just hits 5 threes in a row. I got so mad I quit and deleted the game

My Pokemon has a 1/3 chance of hurting itself via confusion, while if the CPU Pokemon gets confused, it seemingly only has a 5% chance of hurting itself.

Any sports/strategy Atari 2600 game had ridiculously unbalanced AI. Kicking ass in Wrestlefest, only to somehow be caught running or in a lockup and thrown over the top rope. WrestleFest was awesome. If you think that the Rumble was bullshit, the tag teams were worse. Your opponents always started at 100% health where that was only true for you if you A) were on the first match, or B) did not lose any health in the previous match. Imagine just barely beating Hogan/Warrior to then face a fresh Legion of Doom with both of your guys having nearly empty health bars. Fortunately, there were a few tricks you could employ to help (you almost always win the first tie-up, Mr. Perfect had a running dropkick that was nearly unblockable, little things like that you had to exploit to have even 10% of a chance). |

NFL Blitz was so bad at this...Every time you got up by a decent amount every hit would cause a fumble |

You're not lying about the cheapness of the NBA Jam games. I remember the Sega Genesis version that I would play religiously and I always used the Pacers(Chris Mullin was a three point threat himself) or the Bulls. In my case the game would be fairly close throughout the first three quarters, I managed to get hot with Mullin and hit threes everywhere. All of a sudden the CPU gets hot in return and any block I make is a goal tend, every shot they shoot it goes in, and don't let them be down by one or two in the game after you hit a three, afterwards they will literally throw up a hail mary half court shot and it always swished for them. All. The. Damn. Time. |

I’ll go back to it again. GTA IV. It’s a f***ing train. It has to stay on the tracks. It can’t escape. f*** that mission. I put the game away and never played again. It made me that irrationally angry.

With the 'Madden Special' interception, where you throw a perfect pass only for it to somehow miss your receiver and go right into the hands of the CB.

f***ing madden 19. I’ve played maddens since the 90s. I have thrown more interceptions in this game than all the other games combined. And even when the receiver catches the balk they are always right there to knock the ball lose. I’m sorry Antonio Brown shouldn’t drop the ball every damn time.

After all the hours invested the ending was a giant and insulting middle finger. It still boggles my mind they came up with that

King of Fighters XI - Magaki. End of story.
And yes, I have heard heard my share of horror stories about Igniz in KOF 2001, but I had not gotten to him. So Magaki is my nightmare.

Mario 2 being nothing but a dream. I don't understand why that matters- it's still a great game. |

I remember playing No Mercy and having to use Benoit to make my opponent tap in under 2 minutes for the story mode. I did it right at the two minute mark and though I succeeded. When I saw I failed I was incredibly mad WWF Attitude was the worst WWF game of the N64 era. I was in a tag team and my partner never broke up my pin falls whereas my opponent always could. Tagging out was also a bitch to do. The impossible difficulty and the fact that everything kills you in Silver Surfer on the NES. There is a cheat code that you HAVE to use or the game is impossible to beat. When I had a First Blood match on No Mercy on the N64. I was absolutely beating the piss out of some random opponent. I’d hit him with at least a dozen finishers and smashed him in the face about fifty times with various weapons, yet no blood. He hit me with a punch to the face and that was it, blood everywhere. That reminds me of a time I played WrestleMania 2000 with Triple H. I had to beat the Godfather for twenty minutes with a garbage can and I still couldn't pin him. I never forgave Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 GM mode for once giving the computers show featuring a blank match and a main event of Mark Henry and Joy Vs Daivari and another diva, a better rating than my show that had stuff like HBK Vs Jericho, Edge Vs Triple H, Christian Vs Rey etc. Was the show in Japan? If so, I think I know why it was highly rated!  That reminds me of the bullshit rubber-band nature of NBA Jams. You can kill them for 3 quarters only to get curbstomped in the 4th and lose. You're not lying about the cheapness of the NBA Jam games. I remember the Sega Genesis version that I would play religiously and I always used the Pacers(Chris Mullin was a three point threat himself) or the Bulls. In my case the game would be fairly close throughout the first three quarters, I managed to get hot with Mullin and hit threes everywhere. All of a sudden the CPU gets hot in return and any block I make is a goal tend, every shot they shoot it goes in, and don't let them be down by one or two in the game after you hit a three, afterwards they will literally throw up a hail mary half court shot and it always swished for them. All. The. Damn. Time. I played as the Knicks and the Lakers would always somehow come back from behind to tie it up. They would always somehow hit clutch threes while Divac would block my dunk attempts. HE'S ON FIRE...and I could barely get three in a row to do it.
BTW, the lead programmer confirmed that he did program the game to cheat if you played the Bulls (and were in a tight game with the Pistons), the Bulls would miss almost every shot.
I have two entries:
1. Pokémon Pinball made me go nuts as I couldn't get that damn ball to go into the hole to go into the next level.
2. This is for the older folks out there, but when I played games on the PC in the early 90s, it turned out that they were demoes and you had to buy the next adventure for ten bucks. Most PC games out there did that.
