That sounds like the way my friend describes his bachelor party.

All those quick time events. So bad. The amount of times I heard "Complete. Global. Saturation." *hisssss* because one of us (played co-op) failed a button. Many times due to laughing at Weskers voice actor.

I know exactly what you mean...
I could recite the entire damn speech.
Though I'll admit there were some exceedingly funny parts.

The bit that had me finally collapse from laughter can be shown in these images.

That was ridiculous...
Though me and a friend found a way to skip almost lal of the lava fight if you had the infinite ammo rocket launchers.

The Ending to Red Faction Armageddon was mind boggling stupid

And I hated the ending to the first red faction game. I mean seriously!? I killed the boss, now I have to solve some convoluted puzzle in less than 2 minutes? WTF!
If the boss dies the game should end, or go into a transition towards the end that is not a complete pain the ass. That is all. Same goes for halo 1. ing warthog.

Put punching boulders bigger than you was what RE5 was all about! You missed out on the experience of a lifetime...

I swore muchly at that point of the game, as my driving skills are somewhat comparable to that of chickens piloting F16 jets.

You do realize that in Red Faction the reason why you had to solve the "puzzle" was to disarm the bomb that the boss attached to the head of the resistance right? It kind of fits into the whole story.

Armageddon... don't know because it did fit everything the game was leading up to, trying to create an independent Mars. So I think the endings fit the context of the game because what better way to show that you want to be freed from control other than shooting a large amount of nanobots at Earth's largest military space vessel and destroying it. Its all about context I think and I personally had no issue with them, but I can see why you could think that because the Armageddon ending seemed OTT.

My WTF ending would be Black Ops but it made me go WTF in a good way.

The one with the spaceship at the end being shot down was Guerilla I thought. Not seen the ending of Armageddon though.

Ok...but did they have to choose a route that is so damn frustrating? Couldn't they just end the game instead of screwing the player over?

Oh and RA: Guerilla =/= RA: Armageddon

Guerilla has commies, Armageddon has bugs. There's a difference.

And the ending to RA:A is stupid, because in the end the guy just repairs the terraformer like 10 years after it was destroyed...WHY DIDN'T HE DO THAT THE FIRST TIME! Sure it might get blown up again...but then they'll just fix it again and actually defend it this time.

STALKER had my biggest WTF moment in gaming. Basically left me wondering why I played such an aweseom and long game for an ending such as that.

Which ending did you get, cause there are alternate endings.

Lets see you have

- being turned into a statue

- crushed by a roof (after hallucinating that the debris coming off it is made of gold)

- Being made part of the C-Consciousness

and Waking up in a perfect field...which maybe an illusion judging by the events in the sequel Call of Pripyat

ME2 I loved the game by god its my favortie but you see the reapers appear and you can still fly around and there is NO F**KING REAPERS WTF!!!!!!

Really? I don't remember seeing reapers. But yeah, it is kinda silly to continue the game like that.

I mean, what is there to do?

Sidequests and DLC, mostly.

Yes, but what happens then? Beyond the sidequests and DLC (which I generally finish before doing the main missions) there really isn't anything to do.

I rather enjoyed it because it was timed to go off and made everything more tense. Would you have preferred it if the game said "press x to save Mars"?

Yes I am aware of the difference, my titles were backwards in my head. Also, they aren't bugs they are either descendents of the mutants Capek made in Red Faction or the indigenous martians.

Oh we did it.
We ran out of ammo the first time so we had to kill him with Stun batons.
The second and thierd time we did fine but on professional we just kept shooting him with rpgs and he died...
Though i was Sheva the entire time so i never actually punched the boulder anyway.

You have to play the entire game again now as Chris. You must experience the boulder.

Totally not sure if it's worth it...
Though there are 1 or 2 achievements that need getting...

I reckon the ending for Diablo 1 was even worse.

“Hey look, Diablo’s vessel is dead but what should I do with the soul stone? Should I destroy it? Nah I will just shove it into my skull instead”. *facepalm*

Yeah I agree. Diablo's was a WTF? are you serious moment?

The whole point of the prime evils is that their influence is overpowering and insidious. I.e. even the most staunch opponent of them could not resist succumbing to temptation over time. Add to that ego and the surety that 'I am the only one powerful enough to protect the world from this.' and you have a recipe for disaster. That was the whole point.

Yes but still. What gives you the idea of pushing a sharp stone into your forehead? What idiot does that? My Magic Warrior sure as hell didn't. But for some reason he did. Freaking idiot.

Personally I’m aware of Blizzard’s reason for writing that in (temptation and corruption etc) but it doesn’t necessarily make it good script writing. At best, it is a lazy plot twist, designed to shock the viewer.

As a side note, when it comes to Diablo, I’ve noticed that Blizzard has a general disdain for the player character and NPCs involved.

• Diablo1: PC shoves soul stone in his head.
• Diablo2: PC character from Diablo1 turns evil and kills everyone in Tristram. Narrator from the Diablo2 is killed off.
• Diablo3: PC characters from Diablo2 are all insane. Decard Caine is killed off.

Blizzard sure love pushing the reset button...

The best ending is if broken steel is installed and you have Fawkes as a companion:

Them killing Caine of is the final straw, who else is going to tell me to rest for an extended period of time while he talks to me? More importantly who's going to identify my items for free?

Two whole pages without neverwinter nights being mentioned?

1 was fairly bad, 2 has got to be terrible.

It was basically a literal p***take of all pen and paper RPG'ers.

The ending?

Rocks fall, everybody dies.

COMPLETELY AGREE. His son is a complete

Half Life is already mentioned.

Showing my age here, but the original Metroid. Samus is a chick? My one buddy swore he saw naked 8-bit boobies and almost passed out.
