In the Rat labyrinth, died dozen of time on the same location despite i knew the correct succession of action to do, but damn fingers not hitting the correct keys due to the stress, not the best controls either (why force to bind up and jump or down and crouch on separate keys, that's not helping me at all on those kind of platforming games probably game was designed for joypads )

Deadlight Director Cut

[Akura]

Started my first game as Imperial Guard. Had to wait a few turns to even build my first city as I started in the arctic and therefore had poor food output. Then, maybe a dozen turns later, what troops I did have were wiped out by a large swarm of Level 2 Kroot led by a Level 4 Kroot squad.

Warhammer 40k: Gladius - Relics of War.

[Schmaven]

While running to check out a rumored stash of treasure at the Crystaldrift cave, I saw some well hewn stairs leading up into the mountain.  "Might as well discover whatever that is so I can fast-travel to it later" was my last thought before some sort of pillar frost blasted me to death in 2 quick shots.  That was no short cut at all...

Imperial Guard early game can be hell with the various critters roaming around if you're unlucky and get your start in a very populated area, your starting guardsmen squads have so little armor and weak weapons that you really need to keep them together to survive early turns (they'll only get better after some research improving their armor and laser).

On a recent game, my AI allies had swarms of cultists critters around their base i had to send some troops to give some help .

Second game with Imperial Guard, ran into an Enslaver right away.

Third game, finished the first objective chapter, only to be sandwiched between the Orkz and Space Marines, while also losing several units to wild beasts because my guardsmen kept Overwatching on them despite the fact that most neutrals will only attack if attacked first(Overwatch fire counts as "attacked first"). I don't even know if you can turn off Overwatch.

Also what's pissing me off about this game is the fact that you can only issue one move order total for a unit per turn. Either you inch your guys one tile per turn(regardless of total movement range) or you force-march them into the black and run into multiple Overwatch attacks from an entire Ork mob. Because that happened.

WH40k: Gladius.

Failed to crack two asteroids in a row because it was impossible to get the detonation strength in the optimum range. And after the failed detonation, I discovered, at the cost of numerous seismic charges, that you cannot try to crack it again even though there are still fissures on it.

Elite Dangerous. And both where monazite cores, which is the really valuable stuff.

That big hall with about 15 enemies on second floor of Gray Garrison. All was going mostly fine until three locust swarms (which are hard to even notice in this meatgrinder) went in and obliterated Siila, who was firmly plugging the door to the hall, in 2 rounds or so.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, second try. It somewhat reminds me of viking DLC for Warband - power fantasy in story, relentless misery in gameplay. MC makes people bow down and kiss the ground by displays of his cutscene power, but in reality he is (unless he also has munchkin power) a pretty mediocre scrub. With a "power" to cast a minor unresistable debuff. And if the game tells me what that debuff even does, i haven't found the place yet. Groovy.

Granted, most of the misery comes from loading screens. They are fairly decent in length, but there is so much of them, that i thought, from far-off memories of first attempt, that my PC just couldn't run the game properly and the screens took three minutes each.

Oh some roman cosplayers assassin squads are hunting me now ? I guess i pissed off their faction enough after killing a bunch of those bastards on the roads.

You guys want to kill me now ? You're going to regret crossing my path !

Fallout: New Vegas

[Chevaleresse]

I trusted the police.

[Egan_BW]

Run as Robot. I was forgetting to eat spare guns but the run was going well so no foul. Had a grenade shotgun and a wave gun when I got to lil' hunter, which were proving sufficient for wiping out robot enemies.
So lil' hunter drops down, I make a little cubby hole with my hammerhead mutation and take him out quickly with a few shots of my grenade shotgun. Blow myself up in the process, but I have boiling veins so it only knocks me down to half health.
Anyways I step out and a cop hits me with two bullets, ded. And it was going do well!

Nuclear Throne

Nothing makes me madder than watching a full strength battle ogre in rough, unfungused terrain losing to a stupid mind worm

Halfway through a dungeon run, I started charging a fireball at a wraith. Right as I throw it, the wraith charges at me. What should have been an explosion far away from me became an explosion in my face.

Battle Talent. I don't know if I'm too spoiled by Blade & Sorcery's controls, but having to press down on the control pad(as opposed to simply putting my thumb over it for B&S) is very annoying to me. It doesn't give me the fluid motion I'm used to, and while it has the same "swing your arms to go faster" thing B&S does, it's not as good. Also, for a game that your main defense is parrying, enemy animations are... rather fast.

On the other hand, this game does let you stab a skeleton in the head, then twist the sword around to pop the skull off from the rest of it.

starting to think this Planet is a little hostile
(But yeah ouch... I sorta hate Battle Ogres for being so useful yet unrepairable.  Certainly unreplaceable.  And mindworms are the most useful yet infuriating force-equalizer)

[Great Order]

Cheating fucker snapped 90 degrees the instant he started aiming down sights and riddled me with bullets. Reported, but no guarantee anything will happen.

COD: DMZ

[MCreeper]

Abassids mostly went Miaphisite (0_o), and Jerusalem has split off from them. Children crusade fires, certain to succeed. But instead of conquering Jerusalem, those retarts decided to hang around in Wales until they starved to death. And i couldn't go capture it myself, cause i had no ships.

So basically it was historically accurate.
