School Night Blues . . .

One of my bad gaming related experiences was the first time I played Final Fantasy III for SNES. I had just gotten it and started playing it late in the evening, maybe around 9:00pm. My parents went to bed around 10:00 and I stayed out in the living room playing my game. Now I knew if I stayed up till 11:00 that would be okay. I knew that if I stayed up till 12:00 that I would be pushing it but I might be let off the hook if I was caught, but when my mom walked out into the living room at about 1:30am and I was still up playing that game on a school night, I knew I blew it.

She made me turn off the game and go to bed and she took the game away from me for a few days. Oh, man. I wanted to play that game sooo bad too.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you mean, but...

Once, at a science fiction convention, I was watching the main desk in the gaming room for a friend for a few minutes, and trying to work on a character for a P and P RPG. This guy noticed that I was not currently talking to anyone (he must have been in his forties), and I guess decided to remedy that. He started going on and on to me about stupid things that he did while in the millitary, and he would not shut up. I kept trying to work on my character, but even as I was not looking at him, and looking through the text and writing, he kept going. I said to him, when he paused once, that I didn't care to hear about stories like that. What did he do? He kept on talking about them >_>

Eventually, he went away. Then another guy came up and said "I thought he'd never shut up!" I quickly got up, packed my stuff, and looked for someone else to watch the desk. I hate it when people keep bothering me uselessly when I'm trying to do something >_> If they had a gripe about a table, or wanted to know where someone was, fine, but geez.

For specific in-game experiences, I was playing FF5 a while ago on Rich's playstation 2. It was going fine, I was leveling up, about an hour went by. I realized that I had not saved in about that length of time. So, I went to save, and...*crackle static*. Remember back in the days of NES where the screen would look all funny, and you remedied it by taking out the game and gently blowing on the bottom part? The screen looked like that, and the game would not save ;_; I was quite upset.

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

well, i once blew up my own Falcon with my D-Cannons in a game of 40k...

But for videogames ,has to be the time i was messing about in FF7, and accidentally saved ove rmy best save...

You've got it. Just something bad, upsetting, or just plain anoying that happened to you while playing a game, or maybe even a bad in-game experience.

Mine was very very saddening.

Back a while ago on my PSX, I was bent on finally completing FF7 for my first time through. Everyone was trained up, and I was ready to go. It took ages walking in that Crater without a walkthrough, but I did it. I didn't see any saves, so the only time I saved was outside the Crater. I finally got to Sephiroth, and beat the easy Bizzaro Sephiroth.

I paused, went down to get some lunch and came back up with it to eat while killin' that rat bastard. Then what happens? My dog excitedly jumps on the bed to eat my sandwich WHILE I'M HOLDING MY COKE. I was in the middle of fighting Angel Sephiroth, and coke splays all over the PSX - note I was drinking out of the 2 litre coke bottles you get. Completely destroyed it. All I could savour was the memory card, but everything else - game included, was gone...

Luckily I got the game and PSX replaced sometime later.

Well, quite frankly, FFMQ, was the worst. But if you mean IN a game, rather than the whole game, it would be when my Memory Card formatted itself with my FF7 data on it. I havd defeated Emerald Weapon, I had defeated Ruby Weapon...and I was only level 75-80...it made me want to cry. Also on there was my Legend of Dragoon data. I had just gotten to disc 4. DO YOU EVEN REALIZE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET TO DISC 4?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

2 Super Nintendos, 2 TVs, 2 copies of FF3us. Hey, let's race! Me and my cousin both started the game at the same time and the object was to get further than the other person. Now this was before I had even beaten the game once and I had just gotten to the WoR in my real game. However this game was in save slot one. In my haste for saving this time attack game the cursor went right over save slot one, "Are you su..." yes (pressing the button really fast). Whoops, there went my real game. Man did that suck. After that disaster occured the race was canceled. I was at the Returner Hideout and my cousin was still in Mt. Kolts.

Have you ever had a huge bolt of lightning strike near your house and then your Playstation lights on fire? I have. Needless to say the other eletronics where mostly smoked too but MY PS WAS ON FIRE!!!

My copy of the original Ridge Racer was inside the PS when all this happened. I got it out. It was completely black. I wiped it off best I could and when I got a new PS I tried it out. Not one thing wrong with. Played like it was brand new.

As for in game happenings, I can't count the number of times I've been playing a game for a couple hours and then a power outage hits. I know I should save more often but I get wrapped up in it and I just forget.

And I've accidently saved over valueable game data a few times. That really ticks me off 'cause I can't believe I was stupid enough to do it.

-- You're Gonna Carry That Weight --

One of my bad experience occured the first time I played FF 6 on my SNES. I was watching the ending, and the character's scenes were going on just fine, until Gogo...
Well, to understand what happened, you need to have a little information about french consoles. Back then, console were set in 50 Hz, while it is 60 Hz in Japan and US. So when you played a foreign game, the scrolling was a little slower than it should have been. And for FF 6, it had other effects : the scrolling didn't match the music for one (wich is definitely bad for FF 6 ending), and right after Gogo dropped in the hole and the screen faded to black, it stayed black.



I had to mod my SNES to finally view the entire sequence.

I had just gotten my gamecube, had it for about a month. The way my systems were set up was the PS2, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo were all on the rack under my TV, so the Gamecube was on the floor in front of them. I went to bed one night with a can of Coke next to the TV. I sleep in a loft, with the TV and such underneath. You can probably guess what happens next. Pillow falls down in night, knocking down a picture, which in turn knocks down the coke, which in turn spills all over the gamecube... At least the GC went down to $99 a few weeks later, so I wasn't totally screwed.

One time I had a memory card with data for FF6 and at the moment I was trying
to level up with Espers. I did the characters in order and I was leveling up Celes.
Then when I want to load the memory card, the game crashes, and when I check
all my datas, they are all gone.

I had FF5, FF6, FF7, and FF8 in that memory card, and I didn't restart the games
until I got a new one. I didn't even want to play videogames anymore.

Also, there was a power outage one day and two TVs exploded from inside.

Well, I borrowed a memory card from my mom's boyfriend because I had been playing a game at his house and did not have my memory card with me. It was FFVIII, and I had just gotten past the real annoying beginning of the game that takes two hours to complete. He said I could take it home and copy the data onto my memory card. So, I slipped it in my pocket. Half an hour later: "Guuuuys! Have any dirty clothes?" I took off my pants and handed them to my mom. *Five minutes later* "Mom, did you already put my mapnts in the washer?"

"Yes....Why?" said a hesitant mother.

"No, no, no, no! Joe's memory card was in there!" I frantically opened the washer and began to search for the lost memory card.

I found it, soaking wet. I stuck it in the PS2....No response. I then began to ball my eyes out because not only did I lose my data, but I whiped out Joe's Gran Turismo 2 data. Hopelessly, I inserted the memory card back into Slot 1 of the PS2. SUCCESS! It loaded, and no information was damaged.

Something in-game that I absolutely cannot stand is when you walk from one screen to another and then accidentally walk back into the previous screen, racking your nerves, wasting time, and having to go back into the next screen AGAIN! I hate that.

i think that would make suicide or homicide start to look pretty sweet. i never got what people enjoyed so much aboud DDR. to each his own i guess.

as for my experience, allow me to set the scene:

it was back in the lazy hazy summer of 1998. after two years, i had the PERFECT chrono trigger file, everyone at level 99, two stars for all possible stats, at least one of every weapon, and 99 of every purchasable item. 9 or 10 of just about every rare item. i was in the zone.

i had just purchased REload, metallica's newest album at the time, the previous week and since i didnt have a stereo back in those days, i listened to cd's on my trusty playstation (the crappy original model with the cooling vents on the bottom... ahh the 90's). i had been listening to the album for the whole week, trying to learn the songs on my guitar, and i was currently working on james hetfield's slide solo in Fixxxer. now i WANTED to mess around with my chrono trigger file (kind of the equivalent to a grown man's ferrari, it was the envy of all who saw it), but i also wanted to groove to some metallica.

the rest more or less writes itself.

i start playing the cd on the playstation, and fire up the super nintendo, and what happens? well apparently, when you do that, it erases the memory on the cartridge. i didnt even touch, so much as look at my chrono trigger cart until late 2000. you would be happy to know that i have since replicated my original file.

my worst gaming moment happened just mere months ago. Very similar to randyrhodes, my FF6 cart's battery died and deleted my three files. One of which had all characrers between lvls 95-99 and all magic on all characters. I was really really upset and haven't played that cart since. Another bad gamin moment was with Wild Arms 3. Right near the end of the game i fought a really hard boss that can kill all your characters in one attack (u can counter this by protecting one of ur characters against instant death btw) and i walked through the door to the next room and the screen went black and stayed black. after awhile i shut it off, turned it back on and tried again, this time, saving after the boss. The screen still went black. I poped the disk out and found a huge gash on the bottom. I'm nearly positive that was the cause of my problem, i never finished that game...

and elena, the reason FF5 glitched is because it is one of the few psx games that dosn't work properly on ps2, sucks dosn't it? i found out the hard way too

I wish I went to your high school.

I would say my worst gaming experience was when I borrowed my friend's FF6 cart and player's guide. I believe this was in fourth grade, because he moved shortly after. Not only did I manage to destroy the player's guide, I accidentally deleted all his files. Don't ask me how I deleted ALL of them, because I don't know. But I bought him a new player's guide and got to keep the old one, and it's still my favorite guide I have.

Hitting the Return to save state button on My FF6 rom at the end of Kefkas tower. I Hadn't saved in 3 hours, so yeah all of a sudden- MAGITEK FACILITY! DAMN IT. My worst experience though was, back in the day my father was a pretty good FF player. He used to work night shifts. He got A week off once and played my FF6 game all night (he used to tell me he was gonna get enough GP to buy ME that Talking Chocobo and and the Imp Bot. ). By the end of the week Gau had every rage. And all my characters were at like 80. I had already beaten this so, it was cool, but i knew what happened. One day we were getting babysat and I was playing my beloved ff6 beating the shit out of Kefkas tower. My sister suddenly notices that The game i was playing was the game my father had beefed up. Upon further inspection she realized he had beefed up HER game which she hadnt played in month. being the tempermental Ass that she was she promptly erased the game and made it seem like we had done something wrong. I wanted to kill her for erasing what would be the best FF file i ever had.

I have four gaming experiences that are absolutely horrid. IMO, nothing compares to them.

Horrible Gaming Experience #1: This one's not so bad...I suppose. Much like Del, I accidentally erased my FF7 file in 5th grade, with well over 100 hours and countless time spent mastering materia. It was pretty bad.

Horrible Gaming Experience #2: This might be the worst of them all. I'll never forget it. The same year as I erased my FF7 file as well...Anyway, I've been searching in vain for someone at CoN who has played Fighter's Destiny for the N64. To get the coolest secret character in the game, you must fight 100 ridiculously difficult battles...CONSECUTIVELY. Meaning you can't die. OK, I've been at this for over a year, and I'm at the LAST battle...stage 100! You dig? I LOST. I BLOODY LOST!!!! To get there literally takes at least an hour. Oh God that was horrible...

Edit

OH SHIT I GOT THE JOKER! I am awesome! You guys don't care.

Horrible Gaming Experience #3: This WAS the worst. Key word "was", now. I visit my dad's house over the summer, he lives about a thousand miles away. Anwyways, he has a PSX that's old, beaten up, and cost probably 10 bucks. And so I bring my Memory Card up to his house, it having 15 slots, each slot filled with a Square game and each slot having nearly, directly on, or over 100 hours. I get in, pop my FF9 CD in, then my memory card, and wait to play. For some reason my file isn't loaded when I check it. So I take the disk out and turn the PS on again, check the Memory Card...and nothing. Everything was gone. Immediately I took my memory card out and flung the shitty PS across the room in my delirium. Anyways a painful month of and a half of No Playstation went by while I waited, clutching my memory card, with a wild hope that when I got home it would work. I get home after a 3 hours of driving and a 4 hour flight, and first thing's first, right? Shove my memory card in MY Playstation, and IT WORKS! I guess my dad's was messed up somehow.

Horrible Gaming Experience #4:This was bad. I nearly cried in frustration afterwards, and it's still gnawing at me. A few years ago a mall in a neighboring city to mine held a PS2 Contest, which people would go at it in sports video games. It was all bracketed and set up and everything. The winner? He gets a shiny new PS2. This was only a couple of months after they came out too, and were uber-uber-rare! (Except on Ebay, you might get lucky to get one for $600). Now, I was also uber-uber-lucky and found one, carelessly sitting on a Wal Mart shelf, a month after its launch. BUT, I planned to take this PS2 immediately to KB Toys in the mall and get it refunded for 300 beautiful bucks, which would I would immediately buy all kinds of wonderful things with. OK, so I slaughter everyone in every game, and end up in the final round. We're playing some NBA game I had never played. Default teams are picked, I'm Lakers, the other dude gets Sacramento Kings, both teams rated the same then. The whole game is all back and forth scoring, neither of us able to dominate. There are 1.2 seconds to go, I'm 2 points up, he's BEHIND half court, and the game AUTOMATICALLY calls a timeout for him, he didn't do shit. And so he gets to throw it in. What does he do with 1.2 seconds left? Fires a shot from way back. HE SCORES THREE LUCKY F****ING points that STUPID, FILTHY, CHEATING ****, and ends up winning 89 to 88. I just threw my chair across the mall floor and stormed out. Better yet, the local TV crew was in for it, so I got to see a really small (obviously attempted to be cut out) clip of myself do that on TV that same night.

Bad experience 1: Not so bad. I played Pokemon Blue up until the Ghost Tower in Lavender Town. I used Super Game Boy, and of course an SNES controller. But the controller was rather curled up and when I loaded the game later and walked back to the couch, controller in hand, I accidentally pulled the SNES over, and it hit the table. My save file was erased, and I had to start over. Well, that wasn't so bad, since I had lost a battle on that game once, so oh well.

Bad experience 2: Very bad. With that second game/save file that I had on Pokemon Blue, I played to the very end. Although I beat all 8 gymleaders, my pokemon were at around lv. 50, which is all you need to beat Giovanni but very inadequate against the Elite Four and Gary. (I don't know why they made this huge distance between Giovanni and the EFG.) Anyways, I tried to level up in the cave before Indigo Plateau, and it was a long and time-consuming process, I assure you. I got tired of that and tried several times to beat EFG, with no luck (Lance usually creamed me). Then one day, I did it--with the following team, I defeated the Elite Four and Gary (levels with ? are ones around that number; I can't remember exactly):
Fearow lv.48
Graveler lv.50?
Pikachu lv. 49?
Gyarados lv. 49
Kadabra lv. 51
Venusaur lv. 52
I gained a few levels on these pokemon while fighting EFG:
Lorelei: Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro, Jynx, Lapras (lvs.54,53,54,56,56)
Bruno: Onix, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Onix, Machamp (lvs.53,55,55,56,58)
Agatha: Gengar, Arbok, Haunter, Golbat, Gengar (lvs.56,56,55,58,60)
Lance: Gyarados, Dragonair, Dragonair, Aerodactyl, Dragonite (lvs.58,56,56,60,62)
Gary: Pidgeot, Alakazam, Rhydon, Gyarados, Exeggutor, Charizard (lvs.61,59,61,61,63,65)
...and imagine my extreme joy at attaining the almost-impossible--beating all of them (albeit by using a lot of healing and revival items and exploiting elemental advantages and applying strategy like crazy) with such low-level pokemon. A few days later, I did it again! I kept this file on my Blue version, but then I lost it one day, only to find it again (with save file intact!) about 3 years later. Then I started playing it again, but, playing while my mom was in the shower, I had to stop pretty quickly. After a few times, I didn't see my old file anymore--the opening screen just had New Game and Option (w/o Continue). I turned it off and then on again, and it was the same. NOW imagine my extreme DISAPPOINTMENT. I turned it off, and haven't touched it since, in the hope that I might be able to recover my old file somehow...

EDIT: In response to therandyrhoads's post below, I will say this--I played it behind my mom's back, even when I was supposed to be doing something else. So...ya.

this has got to be near the worst game experience here. it happened back when pokemon came out and everyone played red/blue. i traded and restarted many times with red/blue, 2 gameboys, linkcable and ended up with 6 Mewtwos. lelveling 3 of them up from elite whoevers and using item cheat to max others i had 6 lvl 100 Mewtwos. they each had pyshic/swift/cure/and one elemental attack. no one beat me. i reigned over all. then my file got erased or something. from all to nothing. how do u tell a god that he is nothing anymore? its damm hard

once i used a game genie on FF6 to make terra start out with all magic and the atma weapon. Because of that little start bit, the game genie erased all three of the files on my cart. maybe thats what happened to you?

No, I didn't have a game genie. It was a combination of opening his files to play them, and then starting new games and quickly hitting save, when his files were the default save positions.

My worst gaming experience was completely my own fault, and has two parts. I borrowed Baldur's Gate II Expansion from a friend last semester and was determined to play all the way through the game and then finish the expansion in under 100 game-time days (I thought this was nasty hard). Anyway, so I found myself as hooked on this as a junkie on heroin (i'm on FF6 now, the RPG methadone) playing literally day and night. Unfortunately, I played the game so much that it began to creep into my dreams, not the action of the game but playing it. How pathetic is that? I was dreaming about playing a game when I should have been studying for a nasty chem quiz. But I got so involved with beating Irenicus that I forgot all about the quiz, eventually scoring a 20 on the quiz, which was bad enough to throw my grade down from a B to a C+. I was so ticked when I got that grade I nearly deleted the game from my computer, but I soon saw the light. Final time (in game): 90 days 17 hours.

I couldn't even begin to count all the times I've been caught up in a game & then get totally thrashed by some boss, only to realize I haven't saved in the last few hours. At best when this happens I don't play the game for a week or two; at worst, a couple of years.

The absolute WORST experience tho goes back to when I was still dating my ex-gf. She borowed my Dreamcast complete with all my DC games & memory cards, and about a dozen PlayStation games, including FF8, FF Tactics, Beyond the Beyond, and Lunar Silver Star Story Complete. About a month later she decides she wants to screw a friend of hers so she dumps me. I never got anything back, & that all happened almost a year ago. She got close to 30 Dreamcast games, and the memory cards she got with it had a few hundred hours of saves on them from games like Grandia 2, Jet Grind Radio, Seventh Cross Evolution, and Elemental Gimmick Gear, just to name a few. I have never hated another human being as much as I hate her now. She wanted to cheat on me? Fine. Wants to steal all my other stuff? Fine, but DON'T STEAL MY GAMES!!!

Well, there was the time my PS memory card was wiped, which happened to contain, among other things, a mastered Wild ARMs file with about 40 hours on it and a Xenogears file that I was still tweaking which had a little over 60 hours. Frustrating, to say the least.

Here's a runner up: Dragon Warrior III, about 15 hours of gameplay, a mental lapse during which I forgot to hold the reset button while pressing power. No reason to explain further.

1. Kept having to restart the FF1 cart I borrowed from someone because the stupid thing erased my game twice.

2. The save battery in my CT cart finally going--and taking my file and my nephew's file with it. And this just happened to be the file that I was gonna do the Black Omen 3 times on so I could get enough Prism gear for all.

3. I might take some flak for this, but I HATED Secret of Evermore the first time I played it. I never got past the swamp. I'm currently borrowing it from my boyfriend--I'm up to Ivor Tower and I have no idea what was wrong with me all those years ago.
