Well clearly the game is shit, the community is shit, and the dev team is shit! /s

My own death:

Tried installing GRID on my computer again.

For whatever reason, it stutters all the time.

Thing is, the game doesn't freeze in the face of a sudden FPS drop. It speeds up after the drop.

I quickly grew frustrated and gave up.

Race World: GRID.

[StagnantSoul]

Visitored into a group of shotgunned guards and a boss, with my shield ready to react to their bullets, simply to Matrix them back into them for... Well, style points. Problem is, I put the stealth shield in my right click, and when they all prepared to shoot all that happened was one guy got a question mark, and everyone got hamburger...

More of a game-kill than a kill-kill, but I think one of my installed script mods borkened the entire game.  I docked my starting Sabre to transfer to a person who was quite insistent that they get a ship in exchange for some voting shares in a corporation I'm consulting for.  The game immediately started spamming me with blank messages instead of the usual "transfer ownership" request.  It's rather bothersome.

X3: Albion Prelude, still playing XRM (and a dozen other mods)

[EnigmaticHat]

The mission: to rescue a captive held on an Offworld ship.  My chosen method: slamming a Brick Pod into the ship to make an entry hole next to the captive.

The good news: I successfully struck the enemy ship next to the brig, opening an easy path for extracting the prisoner.

The bad news:  The hole was *right* next to the brig, and the captive was sucked out into space.  I couldn't repair the pod fast enough and they died seconds away from me scooping them up.  Whoops.

Something like a badger riding a tornado knocked me out, then went for my stoned girlfriend. I couldn't get up fast enough and kill it before it finished her.

Svanir and Icebrood spawned faster than I could kill them. As much as my Warrior is fantastic at fighting groups with various PBAOE moves and being very bursty damage wise (i'm nowhere near fully geared for what I'm doing right now, regularly hitting 15-18k on Rifle F1), I just couldn't keep up with the sheer numbers that kept spawning in as I killed their buddies, eventually being downed by a Svanir Berserker, as a player ran past me, ignoring my wounded Warrior (other players can revive you by pressing F to pay respects, it takes a bit of time but can help survival if you took a big chunk and can't get an enemy to 0 hp to rally from, plus it gives the reviver a fair amount of exp; it is also considerably easier to revive someone who's downed rather than dead). Warrior has 3 downed skills: a simple damage "rock throw", a knockdown "hammer throw", and a rather unique ability in Vengeance, which temporarily rallies you as if you'd killed an enemy, giving you a small timeframe to hop up, finish what you're doing, and hoping that Vengeance's 25% per killed enemy kicks in.

If that 25% chance per kill during Vengeance kicks in, you fully rally and Vengeance goes away. If you fail to get that 25% chance, when Vengeance runs out you go immediately to defeated state, ignoring downed.

I killed five more enemies during this time, none of them getting the 25% chance kicking in, and my character basically just died on his feet as Vengeance ran out.

Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

[StagnantSoul]

Was starting out as my third guy in Heat Signature... He already started out with a quickfire silenced gun and a high capacity rechargeable visitor, so of course I liked the guy... Went out into space on some random hunt, just aiming to find whatever ship I could and use the visitor to raid it's stores... Yeah, land on my first one- Time till capture 1 se- Tonight we drink for Geneva Herschel, captured by Offworld...

Not last, was two years ago. In M&B warband with Prophecy of Pendor mod, i met a strange squad named "Озадаченные рыцари"(confused knights?), which consisted of four Black Gauntlet knights(Elite crossbowmans. So elite that "If you have 50 of those, you won the game" (c) someone on russian forums). Since it was early game, and i had only some 3-level bums and myself in knight armor and little hp, i had no chance of winning against them, even with savescumming. Still don't have any idea what it was, i a lot played with this mod, but didn't seen anything like that nor before nor after. Always played with fan patch, of course.

Despite being during a period of empowerment that was explicitly described as being invulnerable(for both characters) during that time, my temporarily not-stoned girlfriend was killed when I backstabbed a boss monster which pushed it into her face past her wall of fireballs.

Witch & Hero. Apparently, the invulnerability only applies to the Hero, not the Witch, despite the manual and in-game tutorial saying both.

[FakerFangirl]

Client crashed Tried everything to get Allegiance client to work, but it keeps crashing!

[Sirus]

...Huh.

Took a Teleportation potion. Wound up in a spot in the Cavern layer that I'd never seen before, right next to a ruined cabin. As I make my way around to the entrance, I spot a Granite Golem. I attack it, kill it, move over to collect its loot...

And then the floor explodes beneath me. Despite max pre-hardmode HP and Crimson Armor, I am one-shot.

Before that, I was exploring the Underworld, trying to locate Shadow Chests for a second visit and gathering bits of Hellstone. At one point I am attacked by a Voodoo Demon, which unfortunately is killed while hovering over a small lava pit. I make a mad dash to catch the voodoo doll it is carrying, but I am too far away. The Wall of Flesh is summoned, and I am entirely unprepared. I still manage to knock off about half its HP before I fall into an unusually large lava pit and die.

Both deaths are in Terraria.

Saints Row 2 is running markedly better on my PC (it can actually hit above 30 FPS even with shadows and dynamic lighting, during combat), but that doesn't mean it's completely fine.

On occasion I've seen large chunks of the map (roads, the curbs of sidewalks, entire sidewalks) appear to disappear, allowing me to see into the V O I D.

I've usually had to quit and reload a save to fix it, which is irritating.

Saint's Row 2.

[Sirus]

I accidentally summoned the Wall of Flesh again. This time, I killed it and triggered hard mode.

I have died many times since then.

Terraria

[Rolan7]

Yeeep.  I didn't play too much of hard mode, but I was impressed at all the cool stuff.  Impressed, and frequently killed.  I am not hardcore.  I wasn't even mad, more... satisfied, with a game won and a fascinating challenge declined.

Speaking of dying frequently, I tried Volgarr the Viking again.  Are you nostalgic for old-style Castlevania, with awkward hops and being glued to stairs?  This comes pretty damn close.  Every death is frustrating, and sometimes, I want that.  See:  Super Meat Boy, N, Mirror's Edge kinda...

This is a good context for me to get actually angry in, and let that out.
