I have had a frustrating moment for quite some time now. Not any game in particular, but which one to play, rather. I play a lot of World of Warcraft, and Blizzard just released their new raid dungeon two weeks ago, but I have kind of hit a plateau there with the characters I play, and we only raid Friday and Saturday nights. I have been going back and forth between several games including Breath of Fire 3, Final Fantasy 8 and Ogre Battle to name a few. My frustration comes in the form of which one do I want to play? Do I finish the one I started first because I don't want to lose where I am in the story even though I am not in the mood to play it right now? Do I play one that I am currently interested in, but risk losing the story line and it's momentum? That's where my frustration comes from |

The last Major frustrating moment I had in gaming was around a week ago I was trying to 100% Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on Xbox 360and I could not get the 1st mission A ranks for Rouge's Mad space. I also could not get anything higher than a C rank for Knuckles Meteor Herd. Those are the last A ranks I need for the all A rank emblems then I still need 2 chao garden emblems |

My last frustrating gaming moment I had was a simple one. I was playing Pac-Man, yet again, and got ghost-corner'd. I keep going the same way leading to a ghost trap in level 5, but then I learn from it and progress farther. But then I do it again the next day! :/ |

The last frustrating gaming moment I had was today. I played some Sword Art Online: Re: Hollow Fragment and accidentally erased something I was recording in it before I got the chance to save it... I'll have to start all over to get it back, and I'm 32 hours in already. .__. Man I was mad for a minute there. I'm still pretty upset about it, but I think I'm gonna make it. |

I can sum it up by saying Shovel Knight. OHHHHH. Almost done with a tough boss? SAY, WHY NOT GO NUTS, XBOX, HAVE IT JUST MURDALIZE ME IN 321-DED. I finally get further. OHHHHH. Here's a fun pit to fall in. And another. And about five million more. Mind you, half my issues was going into this game thinking, "Huh, 2D platform. Easy." No. Just. Nuuupe. |

I had one a while ago in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (yay me for playing all-new games). Last year I went on a hunt for a project of mine. I wanted to take a screenshot of all items, Pokemon allies, Assistant Trophies and Final Smashes, and I nearly succeeded. With some editing done with a tool I seemingly can't access anymore due to With my PS4 out of sight due to being in the main TV (right now unplugged because my parents are home, but will be gone again in a couple days), I planned on using these days to play the game again and try to get that elusive sight. It's been a long time since I played the game, so I still was a bit confused getting used to it, which made me fail the Needless to say, the sighting happened. However, due to my attention being on the stage rather than on the fighters and allies, I missed my chance for a screenshot. After so many battles, after so much time attempting to get it, it happened in the worst of timings, and due to this my search isn't over yet. My bad luck has reached a new height today, but I won't give up. After all, I have nothing else to play right now. Still, that minute of freaking out and that major upset it was were painful. I'll be extremely careful in picking stages now, I can tell you that. Last year I went on a hunt for a project of mine.

My last frustrating moment would have to be trying to RNG a perfect shiny in gen 7. It is very hard to do, and I mean very hard. |

Tonight I was playing Wii Sports with my friend Brandon. We were doing Power Throws on Training mode and we were messing around with trick shots. Brandon thought it was a great idea to angle the ball off the bumpers to get strikes. Well, it was a great idea, but it turned out to be more tricky than we thought. I threw that ball so hard at the bumper and it looked like it had been angled just right. But it missed a pin. One... pin... that wasn't afraid to be different. We can all learn a valuable lesson from that pin. However, that doesn't stop me from wanting to go back and use hacks to knock it down and then make it soar all over the lane as a punishment.

I was doing my usual playthrough of Area 9 in Mt. Battle, in Pokemon Colosseum. Usually, there are like 3 battles in which the opponents use a strategy to make my Pokemon confused, two with the standard Confuse Ray and the other one using the after-effects of Dynamic Punch whenever it hits and my poor mates survive. All three battles deployed the strategy in this playthrough. One of my Pokemon got confused after resisting Dynamic Punch, but was unable to land an attack for the two turns that passed before it snapped out (and it has +200 Attack, so any hit hurts an awful lot). That same Pokemon suffered the effects of Confuse Ray later on, with two more turns unable to land an attack and this time succumbing to its injuries. The third time, the Shadow Pokemon I'm intending to purify was affected by Confuse Ray, and it spent three turns hitting itself until the fourth attack, when its life was flashing red, when it managed to land the winning hit and survive the battle. Simply put: 7 out of the 8 turns my Pokemon were confused, they hit themselves. In addition, Quick Claw was also passive, with more than five turns straight without its effect helping me. And what to say about the streak of 0 hits out of the first 6 targets for Blizzard. Definitely, the goddess of luck ignored me today. If at least it meant she'll be caring for me when exams come I'd take this way better xD All three battles deployed the strategy in this playthrough.

I have to say that getting through the later chapters of Fire Emblem Heroes on Lunatic difficulty has been very frustrating, as I keep making one wrong move that ends up killing my entire team, making me have to wait for my stamina to return for almost an hour before I regain the amount I lost in defeat. It's still driving me crazy at the moment. |

Probably when I playing Uncharted 2 yesterday. Today's Uncharted 3 wasn't that bad, but Uncharted 2 yesterday was extrememly frustrating. |

I was recently playing GTA V and I was trying to steal one of those giant planes from the military base and it was impossible. I would either get blown up or get shot out of the sky before I could even get away.
Believe me, I tried everything. After a while I even started using cheats. I turned on invincibility so I would never die and turned on Skyfall so I could just land on the base and I still couldn't get away. Believe me, I tried everything.

I'm having quite a few in Project CARS 2 lately for a couple of reasons. The first one is track limits. They enforce them way too heavily, and that basically disables your chance at producing a valid lap time. Plus, they don't count towards the time sectors, so you have no way of knowing where can you go faster. That's driving me crazy (pun intended) specially now that I'm attempting a lap at all tracks for a guide I'm working on, but it has also damaged my qualification rounds and sometimes that point awarded in some championships to the fastest lap of the race. The second one is basically myself getting blocked at a specific turn. For no given reason, I'm unable to pass a certain turn no matter what I do, even if I passed it clearly several times in a row minutes before. It's like I step into a hole I cannot climb back from, and sometimes it has costed me a victory or podium finish, as well as destroying qualification laps. It just happens, and it gets me on my nerves when I'm unable to snap out of it. The first one is track limits.
