Biggest bullshit in a video game

There are no fans!

1. Grenades can seriously injure you
2. Your character throws like a wimp
Bonus point: you're somehow always downhill from where you threw that grenade.
When you die in a boss fight and have to watch an unskippable cutscene over again.
I fucking hated playing KH1 on proud simply because the cutscene before the Riku fight is so fucking long.
 
Did it bounce off the building? I’m not familiar with the clip
It's always annoying to line that shot up. You can try using a sniper scope to aim and then switch to grenades. But Android users generally cheat and equip the rockets early.

Pain.
The reindeers are no joke and will fuck you up
The constant blizzard and copy paste ruins can cause you to run in circles
The boss is a repeat of another one only difference being there's two of them, how fun.
The run back to the boss is torture with how long it takes and is exacerbated by the reindeer
No discernible reward other than the ring that makes you look normal and bragging rights I guess
This one area taints the otherwise enjoyable dlc. I sincerly hope Elden Ring doesn't have that "one area" every other From game has but it's become a pre- requisite to have one shitty area in these games sadly.

TBH, I have done just about everything in Souls games (except challenge runs), beaten every boss, but I have never done horse rape valley or the shit boss at the end if it.

It's a completely worthless endeavour. I made the mistake of entering it in NG+ and came out with a worthless boss soul and essentially a meme ring. You made the smart choice not bothering with it.

The entire plot of Star Ocean 3. It was mentioned in this thread for MP death which is gay, but not nearly as much as the story.
It's pretty rare to get an RPG, JRPG or otherwise, in a sci-fi setting and Star Ocean series was it. SO2 was so amazing with so many recruitable characters and optional shit that gave it a ton of replay value at the time. "109 endings" the marketing claimed... which was a bit hyperbolic. But it did have a couple main thrusts for the endings and a shitload of side stuff depending on what you did along the way. Good times. The bar was set pretty high.
SO3 launches for PS2. Amazing soundtrack. Everything is fun, and then you hit the plot endgame. So it turns out every event in every Star Ocean was a part of an elaborate MMO for 4D faggots (and this way before the isekai "genre") so your party hops out of the computer to kill the developers of the game.
I don't know if this was a meta commentary about Tri-Ace feeling like they'd never do another... but it killed the whole timeline of the only sci-fi JRPG series. After that we got SO4 which established initial timeline's root and was pretty good, then SO5 which mostly just didn't matter at all and was thoroughly half baked. This series is fucking dead.

The real kick in the balls were the remakes of SO1 & 2 for the PSP that had scenes added in that foreshadowed the whole simulation theory bit they put into SO3. Congratulations SE, you went and made the series retroactively worse for your efforts.

Uhhh... so. My friend told me to go to a specific spot in Cruelty Squad and face a wall, then set my screen resolution to 400x600 or whatever the one in-game is. I did that and the fucking wall vanished and there were two orbs. So I picked the black one and my visuals got all fucked up (more), the music got all fucked up (more) and things became even weirder. Okay cool. This mode lets me open doors around the game that are otherwise locked. Most locked doors open if you can make it to a higher difficulty, but a select few require this specific mode. When I went through the door I desired to go through, the air in the room killed me after a few seconds and I could not progress.

So I did a little research and learned that if I went to another location in the game that you can only access in this fucked up mode, you can augment the mode even further from LIFE to DEATH. So I did that and my LIFE bar (top left) became my DEATH bar and I also gained a speed boost, a jump boost and some elemental immunity to walk through poisoned areas. Neat. So I get through the door and I take the screenshot you see up there. And I'm going forward and there's a dog enemy that looks like a normal dog. I fire a three-round burst at it and it sounds like my shots are bouncing off of metal.

Weird. Okay so I fire another burst to the same result. Now this thing is running at me so I take out my DNA scrambler and shoot at it and nothing fucking happens. And then I got sniped by a dude that wandered around the far corner. Fuck that bulletproof dog. That's a bunch of bullshit. But I guess that's why I bought this game.

10/10 - Buy Cruelty Squad! It's still on sale.

I'm playing the PSP remake on my Vita now, which is what made me remember this bullshit and seek out this thread once I encountered/recruited Welch.
