Top 10 Moments That Ruined a Video Game


well that certainly brought things to a
grinding halt
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
moments but ruined a video game before
we begin we publish new content every
day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at the most
infamous portions of games that
completely if not almost ruined our
experience number 10
Jason heavy rain Jason
Jason Jason Jason heavy rain isn’t for
everyone
at least not for those looking for
action-packed gameplay however those who
were looking for an intriguing story
were treated to an intense murder
mystery that isn’t to say heavy rain was
perfect as some of its unconventional
gameplay made the game the butt of many
jokes from its dancing speech commands
to requiring a button prompt for
literally every action of course we
could never forget the insanely
ridiculous Jason segment aimlessly
wander around pressing X – Jason every
second we understand this moment is
supposed to strengthen our bond with
Jason but some of us ended up turning
the game off and leaving the kid lost
Jason number nine the Triforce quest The
Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker
life is short and knowing that there are
many games we’d like to play so when a
game is padding stuff out it can feel
like we’re wasting our time The Legend
of Zelda has made us feel that way a
couple of times especially in the Wind
Waker which was a glaring blemish on an
otherwise perfect face the Triforce
quest will task you with tracking down
and collecting the eight Triforce shards
but before that you must obtain eight
Triforce maps which requires a lot of
backtracking basically this is an over
complicated unnecessarily long fetch
quest and it caused many players to
either quit or remain as salty as the
game’s vast ocean for the remainder of
number eight the tower of blades god of
this wasn’t just a headache it was a
nightmarish migraine in the first god of
war kratos must escape Hades by scaling
a massive pillar of spinning blades
sounds simple until you get hit and fall
all the way back down to the bottom this
caused many players to give up and never
play it again although this problem did
not go unnoticed by the developers in an
interview with games TM director David
Jaffe admitted that this segment was not
tested and focused testing was skipped
because they thought everything was fine
with it
this was something he regrets doing well
number seven the whole volcano sequence
one of the most polarizing games in the
franchise Resident Evil 5 made some
drastic changes to the series formula by
making co-op gameplay its main focus
Resident Evil has been known to feature
some of the most ridiculous moments in
gaming but none has been quite as absurd
as this as the final level in the game
we witnessed Albert Wesker turned into a
tentacle garbage monster and we were
subjected to quite possibly the most
insane QuickTime event of all time
Chris Redfield punching a boulder we
honestly don’t know what was ruined more
number six the impossible levels The
Lion King
if you somehow managed to conquer the
lion Kings convoluted monkey puzzle and
you got the unfortunate experience of
playing one of the most difficult
platformers ever made
chances are you eventually became so
frustrated that a controller was thrown
or you uttered your very first obscenity
before officially quitting what if we
told you there was a reason for the
game’s unforgiving difficulty according
to Lewis Castle co-founder of developer
Westwood Studios Disney believed that if
players managed to beat the game they
would not buy it that’s a fair point but
this was a game designed for kids so
challenging was it a friendly term to
younger players at least Aladdin was
easier more or less number 5 the
for years fans had been itching to take
the Batmobile out for a spin in the
Batman Arkham games
well developer Rocksteady made it happen
for the final chapter in the series and
it was certainly not what everyone was
hoping for many players felt glued to
the Batmobile because of some missions
requiring the player to race a time
limit or blow up enemy tanks
don’t worry though the Batmobiles
cannons are non-lethal how even that
makes no sense it’s a freaking tank
Arkham Knight was not a terrible game
unless you played the PC version but too
many Dark Knight fans has it’d be one
whimper of a finale three one number
four the speeder bike level Battletoads
Battletoads might be one of the most
difficult platformers in gaming but
there are a few portions that are
somewhat doable
what isn’t doable are the speeder bike
levels which will lull you into a sense
of easy patterns before demanding faster
and faster reactions needless to say
this is not a game for the easily
frustrated as you’ll find yourself
swearing at your screen and going into a
blind rage honestly we’ll never know how
some people have managed to beat the
game then again we’ll never even attempt
it because the cycle of fury will just
begin anew it’s best for both us and our
masochistic love for Battletoads
[Music]
number three the Animus the Assassin’s
Creed series great that should do it
we’ll e-mail you the receipt till next
time take care Sean how about yes bye
and don’t expect any more free coffee to
newcomers Assassin’s Creed seems like a
series of grand adventures that take
place throughout different time periods
this belief is not entirely wrong but
it’s also why many new players have left
disappointed
for example Black Flag boasts an
excellent experience and is regarded as
the best in the series however when the
animus is ham-fisted into the plot it
feels like you just took on a second job
this completely destroys the immersion
and it’s enough to cause any new players
to delete the game from their system can
you really blame them speaking of which
our trailer is finished would you like
to see it I owe you that much
many fans fondly remember Sonic
Adventure 4 it’s open exploration and
quality graphics well at the time they
were is it the best Sonic game ever well
it could have been had it not been for
big the cat only a terrible character
like him could deliver such an abysmal
experience in case you were never
subjected to it makes campaign involves
fishing for his pet froggy in various
levels yes it’s incredibly tedious and
the poor controls certainly didn’t make
the experience any more tolerable
needless to say many of us put the
controller down to go question our life
choices and the purpose of searching for
this damn frog
before we unveil our number one pick
Valve’s what you did to your wife and
kids was on America my wife threw me out
did I ask for your opinion you’re here
to listen to my number one the ending
Mass Effect 3 because of you humanity is
already undone that’s not true
look ending a video game on a high note
can be hard we get it as for Mass Effect
3 who that backlash was intense
when it launched critics and fans
praised Mass Effect 3 for its combat
music voice acting just about everything
was this perfect as Mama’s cooking
except the ending the ending was a
complete mess as both fans and critics
pointed out contradictions and
inconsistencies in the narrative
expressing their disappointment and
frustration
how could Bioware end the series on such
a sour note this prompted Bioware to
release free DLC known as the extended
cut which added more to the story while
