Topic: What is the worst feeling while playing video games

Once you know how the story ends, though... it's fun to replay, certainly, but you already know how it ends now. That same feeling of suspense is still there in the next playthrough, but it's never quite the same as the first time you ever beat the game, y'know?

When you realize there's a ending.

When I see a massive boss, and think oh [insert as many explicit words here as you can think of]. Only to find out it's not as menacing as it looks.

when dawn breaks and, controller still in hand, the damp patch tells you you forgot to go to the toilet again. hate it when that happens.

No, if "not knowing how the story ends" is your main reason to keep playing rather than the game being entertaining on it's own terms, it's just an acceptable-quality game with a high-quality story.

Worst feeling? When you die without saving for hours.

One feeling I hate is that some SNES cartridges get dirty contacts and if you pop them into the SNES and they don't pull up the first time, it will sometimes erase your save data. So if I stop an RPG or something for awhile and then come back to finish it up, I always make sure to clean the contacts thoroughly before popping it into the console.

When your watching an epic but incredibly long cutscene and your desperate to go to the bathroom, and you can't pause it.

For me it is when the phone rings and your in an online deathmatch. Or when your getting into a game real deep and the phone rings.

The worst feeling? Perhaps the absolute rage I felt during the final fight of the story in naruto clash of ninja revolution 3. That fight is so stacked it is insane.

_{final boss of Super C}

• Dying after fighting a final boss for 2 hours (usually in an RPG).
• Having to leave in a game like MP where you can't just save anywhere (WHY do you torture us? WHY?!?)
• Knowing you have homework to do soon.

Worst Feeling: Needing to poo.

A dull numbness and occasional sharp pains extending from my hand to elbow. In other words, the occasional resurgence of carpal tunnel due to not being careful enough to take it slow at work.

That fleeting moment right after you realize you saved over the wrong file. I remember putting 14 hours into Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (my first SNES RPG--got it as a present for good grades back in the day) and watching my brother save over that file literally the first time he touched the game. Especially as it's prompting "Do you want to save over this file?" and he selects "Yes" as I start to protest. And yes, he's almost 10 years older than me. Again, 14 hours isn't bad, but when you're in 3rd grade and that's one of your first end-of-game files.....not pleasant.

For me? Dying a heckuva lot of times on a level, a when I finally think I have it, I die 5 seconds after continuing because I did something really dumb. (see The Conduit: ghost mines)

That too.

Eye strain and hand cramps.

What Luigifreak, Ninten and Corbie said that's what hate about gaming sometimes.

In Pokemon when you are out of WhateverBalls and you forgot to save before said legendary Pokemon.

No, if you know the ending you can still enjoy the game, but you wont get the same feeling as the first time around, same thing as for books and movies. Now if the game have multiple endings on the other hand.

I agree with most of these feelings.
