Tails dying for the bad ending of Sonic 2 (Gamegear)
Wait, what?
A few more of mine, since my life in gaming has been pretty fucked up so far...
- Getting to the end of Final Fantasy 8 only to find that the big final confrontation against Ultimecia explained precisely dick of the plot holes, I'm left with no clue as to why she does what she does, only that she suffers from Mortal Kombat syndrome. IE: Putting the letter 'K' where it's not needed. Thanks, Square. Really cleared that up for me. Cheers. Bitchin' boss music like 'The Extreme' doesn't completely make up for having no real reason why I'm there, you know.
- Final Fantasy 9's sudden appearance of Necron. Who the fuck are you, and where the fuck is the real final boss? Where's the final epic duel against a demented Kuja using every last screed of power within himself to launch one last crusade against the living? Yeah, we get his Trance form. Then all of a sudden this wannabe starts quoting Yoda like he's earned the right. GTFO, Necron.
- After over a decade of playing and finishing the game over and over again, I finally get bored and look up an FAQ for the original Streets Of Rage as I never had the manual as a kid and wondered if there was any secret stuff I'd missed, only to find out that all these years there's a back attack move you can do by pressing jump and attack together, which makes the Blaze clones a piece of piss. All those years spent struggling with those fights...
- Completing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 100% only to discover that DARTH MAUL is now playable.
- A minor WTF moment occured recently when I acquired Onimusha 2 for my PS2, only to discover that some backwards-assed fool decided that those nice shiny analogue sticks were for squares, so I have to control it with the damn D-pad. Get with the times.
- Majora's Mask. 'nuff said, really.
- Every new Pokemon game is a WTF moment for me as I always buy in to the bullshit promises that it'll all be different this time, AND IT NEVER BLOODY IS.
