I saw a door leading to a little room. I forgot that this door leads to the Butcher and opened it as soon as I saw it. The Butcher came out, said the meat thing, and we traded blows. There was a mighty whine from the disk drive and the game hung for a literal second before revealing that I died.

I forgot how much it sucked to play games from CD.

Diablo.

I have recently played a game from a CD, the first time I have done so in years.

Perhaps the fact the disc drive is slightly above eye level, and I forgot how noisy the drive can get as it spins the disc faster and faster and faster...

I worry the the disc will explode and I will be blinded by shrapnel.

Don't give Final Destination any more ideas.

[itisnotlogical]

Oh, it's been too long since I played this game...

Literally, it's been a really long time. I forgot how to play, and the mission I was on began with a difficult boss fight. I spent a lot of time getting ripped apart by a tractor beam... and then, long after beating that mission, remembered I have a speed-boosting ability that breaks free of tractor beams.

This is why I hate coming back to MMOs after a long time, they get so complicated that I've forgotten almost everything. They changed the skill system and forced me to reassign my skill points, too!

Star Trek Online.

Beat the game, died from the credits.

Ubisoft, what happened to you? Why do people give you money? Why should I give you money? (I got the game for free as part of Ubi30 but still)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

AssCreed 3: They didn't bother to put a skip button so I didn't bother to spell the title right.

[SOLDIER First]

Oh no, credits. I really hate when people who worked hard on a game want recognition for it.

[AzyWng]

20 minutes with no skips at all.

I no longer have any interest in paying for a Ubisoft game.

The fact that the final chase sequence was crap and the actual death of the final target was underwhelming doesn't improve my opinion of them either.

Edit: Did he homestead mission "The Fight". AKA "I'm gonna smash you, ya loony" as nauseam.

[hector13]

I will assume AC3, as that's the most egregious example of Ubisoft story writing.

[SOLDIER First]

20 minutes

haha yeah okay that's fair holy shit

MORE UBISOFT BS:

There's a man asking for help, saying he's being beaten up. When I get to him I see the man on the ground and a bunch of guards standing around like lemons. Hooray, violence for no apparent reason time!

[Silverthrone]

I do not quite recall when I gave up on Ubisoft entirely. I cannot say that I have ever been made to regret that choice. The possible exception being the latest Far Cry games, but even so...

There are good, engaging and stimulating games aching to come out of Unisoft's basket. There are. But they are shackeled to UPlay, branded with mishandled DLC policies, burdened by blind faith in the focus group and finally, drowned in padding, like bloated, pale bodies in the surf.

Om Ma'ni Pad'ding Hum, Om Ma'ni Pad'ding Hum, Om Ma'ni Pad'ding Hum, Om Ma'ni Pad'ding Hum.

(Yes, I do think that joke was fitting, and yes, I find it very difficult to un-hear it, now.)

[AzyWng]

I don't get it.

Is it related to this? Because I've embodied all of those things at least once, and the thought that Ubelost and I have common ground is not a pleasant thought...

I recently got killed by credits a whole bunch of times, but that was a feature.

Are you talking about Undertale's credits?

[Egan_BW]

Those ones don't actually kill you.
