Frustrating moments in video games

What are some of the most frustrating things that have happened to you in games? For example:

• I once died to the 100th Polygon in SSBM's 100-Man Melee.
• The game froze right after I beat Thardus in Metroid Prime.
• I once failed "Vicarious" right at the end of the song in Guitar Hero: World Tour.

I lost to Yakuza (the biggest That One Boss in Metroid Fusion) after turning it into a Core-X, when it only had one health left, because of a slightly mistimed jump.

Throwing my godly minishark in the lava in Terraria. That was before I knew it wasn't destroyed by lava, so I lost it when I logged out >.>

I found and killed three of the four horsemen in Binding of Isaac. Arrive at the womb, I don't find any hearts, I find Death, get killed by Death. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

*Insert multiple example from Dark Souls/Demon's Souls here*

Bugs! Bugs everywhere!

Seriously though, bugs are usually my most frustrating problem. Especially if they're game breaking. I've had a couple of games that would sometimes just throw me out in the middle of gameplay. I hate that.

@Topic Opener: ...Those were Wire Frames...

• Although not terribly frustrating, on Quest RPG: Brian's Journey, I was training my level ups. Then a glitch happened. Basically I got the max amount of experience off of every enemy. They don't have a set EXP, as they give a percentage, which lowers every time you level up. I was training my Defense(which is extroardinarily difficult to put up in this game), and this made it even worse.(The less Earth I have, the faster it goes up.)
• Mach Speed section in Sonic The Hedgehog 2006. Enough said. Also, forced scrolling.
• Trying to beat the midboss on Death's Rock(Last Dungeon) in Link's Awakening.
• Having a Space Key that doesn't work on your computer.(totally counts >_>)
• Requiring super reflexes in a lot of games, mainly new Sonic ones and the two DS Zelda games.

• Being knocked off the platform while fighting Moldorm in A Link to the Past.
• The horizontal slash not triggering the first few time I tried it in the Koloktos fight Skyward Sword, resulting in the boss battle taking me 20 minutes.
• The Prankster Comet fight against Bouldergeist in Super Mario Galaxy. It took me literally dozens of lives.

Dying with a inventory full of loot in Minecraft.

That One Level in Jak 2, where you're trapped in the docks and you have to fight through a legion of Krimzon Guard that constantly use dropships to block your path.

GENOCIDE CUTTAH!

Has anyone played Super Mario Galaxy 2? Has anyone tried to grab the absolutely last star in the game? That is very frustrating.

I just got off playing Chantelise and there was something really frustrating in it. The game itself is poster girl for Surprise Difficulty, but that I can handle.

No, the frustrating thing is the infernal siren beeping sound that occurs when you're low on health. Given the paucity of health items, that gets incredibly tedious really fast. At least once i've tossed poor Elise into an enemy attack just to shut it up.

Also trying to reach the Bonus Boss in any fighting game. Any fighting game.

Trying to reach the True Final Boss in Soul Caliber 3. God that was annoying.*

Doing a No-Damage Run on the Time Eater, which is required for an achievement.

Doing a No-Damage Run on Melee or 64. Outside of Cheat Codes, that is. Hardest. Trophy. Ever.(in Melee, anyway, Brawl's are pretty annoying, but eh.)

That platforming section in Xenogears where you have to jump your way up the tower. How many times did I fall all the way to the bottom when I'd just gotten all the way to the top? WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?? I WILL BITCH SLAP THEM.

• The Artifact segment of Metroid Prime. Probably rivals the Triforce Quest in Guide Dang It!-ness. At least Wind Waker gave you directions, as expensive as they were. All I had here were cryptic clues.
• Outrunning that bull-like creature on the trains in Sin And Punishment Star Successor. The rest of the game was incredibly hard, but it was the good kind. This was the bad kind.
• Grandmaster. Galaxy.

Doing a no damage run in The Binding Of Isaac.

RAAAAAAGE.

Trying to beat Insanity in ME 2. ME 1 it was just tedious.

Trying to fight at all in Skyward Sword.

Catherine.

Just, Catherine.

YMMV on that. Is your Wii Remote working properly?

On that note, fighting at all in Okami Wii. At least beads make for a good makeshift Anti-Frustration Feature.

Mount And Blade: "Oh, you just bought a lot of merchandise to sell on another town, let us attack you and steal all of it" —- Group of army deserters often consisting of elite troops.

The warrior fight in Prince of Persia(the reboot). He's completely invincible so beating him requires making him fall off the platform. And the only way to do that was to buttonmash unnaturally fast. I was actually out of breath when I beat him.

Also Sonic and the black knight King Arthur battle. If you don't time your swings exactly right you start all over again.

Dark Souls,nuff said.

Crashing the Golden Warpship in the final stage of Solar Jetman and realizing that it's the only one, ever.

Super Paper Mario, losing on the very last floor of the Pit of 100 Trials. Had me ragequit so hard I took around a year to recover and play the game again (but never returned to the goddamned pit)

Speaking of which, the Cave of Ordeals. Fighting your way through the whole thing, only to get to the last floor and be massacred by the three Darknuts waiting there...and the four Darknuts waiting there, on the second time through.
