Suikoden V
All your characters die because you use double-edged rune for almost all your characters.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
1. Fighting a straight 7 to 14 battles, reducing your life and mana to a miserable amount and died because the battles just keep chaining.
2. Spending ALL your money on the "healing spring" just to get all your characters to peak conditions

Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion
Unable to play at good resolution, good framerates and good details that this game scream of PLEASE BUY AT LEAST AN X800 or 7600GS and ABOVE graphics card to enjoy it.

Ragnarok Online
While training is exceptionally hard for your last 9 levels, this game WANTS you to repeat this process again.

Quake IV
While getting kill isn't bad enough, what about getting labelled as a NOOB?

Kingdom hearts II
At the end of the game, be prepared to get a new controller.

Stella Deus
Extremely SLOW, boring and more boring. Isn't this annoying enough for a game?

Phantom Brave
Fighting a boss battle by placing all characters at the start just to realise that your characters are too far away from the boss and will DISAPPEAR just trying to scratch it hard.

Diablo 2

-When you die, then you're merc dies and when you die you lose gold, then you have to pay more gold to buy another merc.

-When you are making a runeword, only to find out that the item you have used isnt the right one and you have wasted a couple of good runes.

-When you are being xferd, only to find out when you come back into the game, you're items are gone (xferd means dropping you're items and then getting another one of you're characters and picking them up, good for making mule characters)

-When a really good item drops in a public game on battle.net, only to find out that just as you are about to pick it up, someone else comes and snatches it before you do.

-When you are surrounded by monsters, and then lag comes in and 10 seconds later you find out you are dead.

-When you have finished making an awesome runeword, only to find out that you cannot wear it yet because you did not look at the strength or dexterity requirements.

-When you die in normal difficulty when you are a very high level character (can happen on act 4, Doom Knights can kill you with a couple of hits because they cast iron Maiden and that lowers you're resistances, making you very easy to kill)

-When you make a game, only to find out that you get disconnected 5 seconds later.

-When you are making a trade, you click accept and then the other person quickly changes the good item that he is gonnna give you, to a really crappy one and he quickly acceptes it and then exits the game and you are stuck with some crappy item and you gave you're really good item away.

-When you have dropped you're items, so you can come back with a mule character and pick them up, and then lag comes, you get disconnected, and you're friend gets disconnected and then the game is lost and you have lost all you're items that you dropped.

-When you are trying to make space in you're inventory, and you drop some good items to try and make some space and then when you have the spcae put them back in, and then lag comes and you get disconnected, and you're game is lost and you lose you're good items that you dropped.

-When someone pretends to be you're friend, and then when you are out of town, they suddenly turn hostile on you and kill you, stealing the gold you dropped and then exit the game.

-When someone rushes you in hell or nightmare mode, and when you get to the 4th Act, they tell you to wait in town, and secretely steal you're forge (forge drops some good runes and alot of gems, some perfect, in hell, the hell forge can drop some hrs -high runes which are very rare)

-When you trade someone something and you get a hr from it, only to find out that a couple of days later the rune vanishes.

-When you are in a public game, baal rushes, and someone makes a tp, you step through and you find out that the tp is sorrounded by monsters and you die instantly.

-When you are on a rush game, and you are waiting for someone to make a tp, only to find out that about 10 minutes later they tell you they have finished the particular rush just then, be it a trist run or a baal rush/run, or chaos run/rush.

-When you help a noob out, and then afterwards they give you heaps of insults and swearing, and then tell their friends about you and then you get all whispers saying F U or U SUCK etc etc.

-When you are duelling someone and if you beat them ythey will give you an item.
You beat them, but then they refuse to give you the item and request a reduel.

-When you are standing still, you minimize the game and then come back a second later, only to find out you have died.

-When you are in the middle of a trade game, and then get randomly disconnected from the game.

-When you drop an item in a public game for a split second, then to see someone comes over, steals you're items and then runs off and refuses to give it back.

-When you are in the middle of a solo game, Diablo or Meph or Baal run so you can get some good items, when someone joins the game, you party up with them, you make a tp, and then they help you kill baal, diablo or meph and then steal all the items that the bosses may drop and run off.

-When you are doing a countess run, when someone joins and comes and kills countess and steals the runes.

-When you make a game called this for example: bring free hrs, someone comes in, trades with you, shows you a hr and then asks "wug" which means what you got, meaning that he wants something of yours for his hr, this is annoying because he clearly didnt read the title of the game which was called Bring free HRs and then he comes and wants to trade his hr for something of yours.

-When you are in the middle of a trade, you accept the trade, only to find out you have no room for the item, and then when you request for another trade, the person refuses and exits the game.

-When you make a specific game name, and the person joins only to bring the wrong item, for example: bring 600+ defense non eth armour, and the guy comes and tries to trade with you an eth 400 defense  armour, that is quite annoying.

-When you are out killing monsters and you're merc starts fighting and eventually gets alot of monsters around him and then dies, just because the silly merc wanted to kill a monsters.

-When you are in a Cow game and you accidently kill the cow king, meaning you cannot create a cow level yourself in that mode that you killed the cow king in, you have to join others cow games in order to play the cow games.

-When you are a high level and on battle.net and you make one little mistake and everyone bags you out and starts calling you a Noob.

-When you are a very good player, level 99 for example, and you don't play for a while, when you come back only to see that you're character has expired and you lost you're character and all you're good items.

-When you play hardcore, get to a very high level, have the best weapons, armour, shield, etc etc, and then you suddenly die, losing you're character, items, armour, weapons, everything.

-When you make a Clan, only to see that some members gang up against you and you get "overrun" and lose you're leader status (note: hasnt happened to me which is lucky )

-When you are a new character, and you accidently put too many points in the wrong attritbutes, like for example: too many points in Energy, which is not needed at all.

-When you're merc is better than you are.

-When you buy a merc, place really good items on him, the buy a different merc, the items that you're previous merc had, whether they were really good or really bad, disappear, and you lose you're items that the merc had.

-When you accidently delete some path where alot of visitors walk, and then suddnely about 10-15 visitors are stranded and they do not know where to walk.

-When you accidently pick up a person and drop him in water, which results in the visitor drowning (you must be evil to do that )

-When you make a really cool Bob sled ride, only to find out that if you make just a tiny little bump after a downhill bit, the bobsled gets in the air and crashes, resulting in deaths.

Actually, Oblivion Knights use "Lower Resist", a Necromancer spell with the sparkly purple stuff that reduces all the player's resistances. If you're fighting them and you suddenly die without having previously taken much damage, then it's probably Iron Maiden reflecting your own damage back at you.

Is that really possible? Normally, the Accept button is temporarily disabled whenever a player clicks on an item on the trading table. The only thing the above reminds me of was the time another player agreed to give me a good quality charm (visually identical to Meph's soulstone) in exchange for my Tal belt. Before accepting, he exited out of the trade, and initiated trade again. He substituted the charm with an actual soulstone, and I didn't bother checking first before I accepted. Hence, I was conned that day.

There are other lag problems out there. Ever found yourself sorting out your inventory in the middle of a crowded Free or Trade game when lag suddenly hits? You're about to select one of your items in the inventory window, but lag causes you not to pick it up. You click around a bit, impatiently waiting for the lag to get over with. Suddenly, the lag finishes and you realize that you inadvertently clicked the inventory closed. So the item you clicked on drops to the ground and you have to rush to pick it up again before would-be thieves rush to swipe it. It's a good scare, but has far more distressing implications if the story ends with a disconnect...

I've learned that it's better to hold off from drawing your pistols in this situation, but instead to draw a Town Portal scroll and beam outta there before the traitor receives his bragging rights. Then you can taunt him, like how he's awfully slow for a high level character.

Either that, or you return to find yourself back in the main Battlenet chat area.

Quote:

This one time, I hiked down to level 5 and noticed that someone got there a long time ago, without killing the other monsters! What a waste.

Quote:
-When you are a high level and on battle.net and you make one little mistake and everyone bags you out and starts calling you a Noob.

This is far worse in Starcraft, for several reasons. Firstly, you can't run back to the safety of "town" when someone unallies and goes hostile (aka BS). Secondly, you cannot "respawn" if you get bested by the BSer. Thirdly, a lot of players are gullible enough to believe the person who's putting you down, and they'll join in calling you a noob. This leads to the fourth point, which is the host might ban you from future games if he is convinced that you are a noob.

Quote:
-When you play hardcore, get to a very high level, have the best weapons, armour, shield, etc etc, and then you suddenly die, losing you're character, items, armour, weapons, everything.

Hardcore is, in my mind, the dumbest thing about Diablo 2. I don't care if you're an expert among expert players who's dying from boredom playing regular games. The concept is just stupid to me.

Quote:
-When you make a Clan, only to see that some members gang up against you and you get "overrun" and lose you're leader status (note: hasnt happened to me which is lucky )

Union types. Pffft.

Quote:

It's sad, like a Paladin trying in vain to be Gandalf. It's like John Kerry doing standup.

Quote:
-When you're merc is better than you are.

If the merc can hold its own in battle, that's great. If the merc is superior to you in terms of intelligence, I'd start worrying if I were you...

Quote:

That happened to me in Emperor the other day. I had a Trading Quay set up next to the river with four Laquerware Vessels ready to sell to a neighboring city-state. I forgot to erect an Inspector's Tower nearby, so the building collapsed before the trading junks could arrive to buy the wares.

Quote:

Quote:
-When you are having fun and all, and then suddenly random riots happen in all directions and you try and stop them but with no success.

Are you talking about having a high crime rate or scripted events like gladiator rebellions? The former is easy to deal with if you've got Prefects about and adjust the Wages/Taxes to make the people happy. Curbing high levels of unemployment also helps. The latter is unavoidable, since it's an even that is scripted in some missions. There is a gladiator rebellion in one of the City Construction Kit maps (one of the desert ones if I'm not mistaken). Those can be really annoying.



Quote:

Zergling rushes suck. What more needs to be said?

Do you have multiple GP Offices? I always try to have three of them and a pool of four or five Consultant Doctors available to do the job. Of course, it gets hectic during the medical rush hours.

Quote:
-When the Hospital is very clean, and then suddenly rats appear and Patients start Vomiting all over the place.

Don't you hate it when the rat holes appear in a place where you cannot remove it? Like when the hole appears next to a door (either near the entrances to the hospital or near the door to the Operation Theatre). When that happens, you're stuck with having rats running around from that spot.

Quote:
-When an Epidemic comes, and you are found out and have the Hospital Reputation go down and you lose money.

It's kind of stupid how your epidemic is found out whenever an infected patient passes between buildings within your hospital complex, rather than exiting the hospital for good. That is problematic if you have a cure room across an inner courtyard or something.

That's why you should always throughly check the items BEFORE making a trade, otherwise you will just make a fool out of yourself.
And btw the charm that he probably had which was identical to a Mephisto's Soul Stone is the Annhilius Charm (small charm), very good, and very rare found in Uber Tristram.

I was going to add that in, because it often happens to me that when the lag comes in and you try clicking an item, and nothing happens, and then you randomly click on the ground or something for no reason, when the lag goes away, you're item will drop and someone else wil lsnatch it and you will have lost a valuable item.
2 Words: LAG SUCKS!!!

That's often the way to go, but what if you do not have any town portal scrolls?
You can exit the game but then the other player may bag you out for chickening out, maybe by calling you a coward or a noob in the chat rooms, who knows?

You most definately are correct

Shame we do not play anymore, those were rather fun times when we used to play together.
But my behaviour has changed, and I have seen far worse people swearing and stuff, just look at the chat rooms and watch what the random people say to eachother, it's an utter bashfest in there, everyone bashing eachother, fighting, insults every direction, ITS CRAZY!!!

Quote:

Either that, or you return to find yourself back in the main Battlenet chat area.


You mean exit that game, and start a new game so that you're body will be right next to you when you appear in the new game?
That trick is awesome

Quote:

This one time, I hiked down to level 5 and noticed that someone got there a long time ago, without killing the other monsters! What a waste.


That reminds me, I was making a game yesterday hopeing someone would bring a 600+ defense armour non ethereal, then some guy joins in, I am asking if he has the armour, about 5 minutes later, a town portal appeared, and it was highlighted/labelled Tower Cellar Level 5.
He came in my game only to do a Countess Run, what a waste, that is annoying.

That really is quite bad, I ouldn't go as far to ban people from my games just because he/she may be a noob.
Everyone was a Noob at one stage, and that's why we should teach them to eventually make them become into pros/vets.

No, they are Riots because the Happiness Rating is low, and probably because the Taxes were to high, I probably should have cut them down a little bit, and probably produced some more entertainment for them.

I will take a screenshot and then you shall see how many GP offices I actually have, and I have alot.
I set out my Hospitals in usually a set way, because they work, and they usually keep everyone happy, and I can usually build alot of rooms, expanding and creating new facilities and such.

I hate the rat holes, and when they are near the entrance, that is very very annoying.
I know what you mean.
It is rather fun though, shooting the Rats with a shotgun

I know exactly what you mean Guitarguy, exactly what you mean mate.
I hate that aswell, stupid and pointless and annoying.

Diablo 2

When you are trying to move in a Battle.net game, trying to move somewhere, but it is laggy and you get put back to the place where you started moving.
Then you try and move again and it restarts you again, and again and again maybe 5 times and it is very frustrating.
Happened just now on battle.net when I was doing a Trist run.

TA, it is actually possible to save him, I have done it so many times before, and then eventually I just kill him, or you can leave him and just finish the mission, but it is possible to save him

caesar III:
you get busy building a new residential area, and you discover that you're running low on cash or go in debt.
your warehouses are full and ships are coming and going without trading
and then in hits you: the dock has collapsed / has no workers / lost road access because you accedentally deleted the road to it.

or this: you have the goods. you have the trade route. the caravan is coming. they have more space to buy for the year. your prosperity/city sentiment is ok. gods are happy or exalted. AND THEY STILL DON'T BUY!! omg this is very annoying. they're passing by and you're left with your warehouses full and become low on cash

HalfLife2: the grenades the Combines are throwing have a little RED LIGHT. this is so stupid my head aches. what's the point in having a warning red light on a grenade? you're trying to warn the enemy right? just making sure he'll be alright I guess

any FPS: enemies 'spawning' from thin air.

I agree with the enemies spawning from nowhere in FPS games, that is usually quite stuid in my opinion.

Theme Hospital Annoyance:

When you are going very well with you're hospital when suddenly an earthquake happens, damaging you're equipement, and especially on the later levels where the hospital is really big, you have to repair alot of machines, you usually ed up with a couple of rooms which "blow up" so to speak

Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans:
*Your buildings need to be connected by roads, meaning massive worker traffic jams occur.
*"Dungeon" levels sometimes take longer than they should because of moving units around.
*You have to Shift-click to control a group of units; that takes up important time!

Unreal Gold:
*Understandably, the botmatches are very jerky and greatly lacking.

Blood:
*Backtracking on certain levels to get items sometimes means that you cannot get back to your current point in the map unless you use the Jumping Boots.
*The jerky feel of moving around looking for stuff triggers my MS.

Shadow Warrior:
*The jerky feel of moving around looking for stuff triggers my MS.
*Getting damaged by your own splash because those Rippers run at you so quickly.

[throws in a Heroes 3 item to annoy the purists]
Heroes 3 Complete:
*Obtaining a great deal of artifacts required by the quest huts...days before winning.
